(United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received November 28, 12.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 27. 66 J>LUM ” WARNER, writing in the “ Morning Post,” says:— “ The world eagerly awaits the First Ttest. Every enthusiast who possibly can will be there. People will flock thither hy train, motor-car, steamer and horse-back. It will be a place of pilgrimage whither all roads will lead. The thoughts of cricketers will be concentrated on the test in the Dominions, in the Colonies, at Buenos Aires, Valparaiso, The Hague, Harlen, in China, on the Suez Canal, and in Philadelphia, indeed throughout the world, for cricket commands almost universal interest. “ Whatever English side is selected it will command our confidence. The Australians are great cricketers, and great fighters and most dangerous when one thinks them beaten. That is the time to leave nothing to chance. Chapman has proved himself such an able leader that he would be the last in the world to underestimate his opponents. May good fortune attend him.” -—Australian Press Association.
