CRICKET
A DELICATE SITUATION FUTURE OF DOUGLAS. KICKED OUT OF CAPTAINCY, [ Australian Press Assn.—United Service ) LONDON, Dec. 6. Cricket circles are interested in the future of J. W. Douglas, who states that he is unable to decide whether he could continue to play for Essex. “The fact that I had not resigned but was kicked out of the captainev created a delicate situation,” he said. “Essex did not complain that I was getting too old or not pulling enough weight. The only thing I knew was that they decided that the time had arrived when the step was beneficial.” Doulas said, with some emotion, that it was a great wrench to part with old colleagues, many whom he had seen grow from boys to mature cricketers. He hoped the team would be more loyal to Morris than some had been to him off the field. FOR THE SECOND TEST CHOOSING AUSTRALIAN TEAM. SELECTORS’ “BAD JOB.” (Australian Press Association). BRISBANE, Dee. 7. The test selectors have chosen the following players from whom the side for the second Test will be selected: — Andrews, Blackie, Bradman, Grimmett, Hendry, Ironmonger, Kcllaway, Kippax, Oldfield, Ponsford, Ryder (captain), Richardson and Woodfull.
