place confidence in the ability Of the
authorities to restore order.
Six hundred Russian prisoners Of

CRICKETERS GET
RESPONSE FROM
FAR AUSTRALIA

On December of last year letter
was sent to Major Wardill of Mel
bourne, Australia, by Arthur Inkersley,
secretary of the California Cricket
Association, expressing I. hope that the
Australian eleven of 1905, if it passed
through San Francisco, would play a
match against an eighteen or twenty
two of California. The letter was pub
llshed in full in the Melbourne Argus.
A reply dated January has been re-
ceived from Frank Laver, who is the
manager of the Australian eleven now
on its way from the Antipodes to Eng
land. 1t reads as follows:
MELBOURNE. Australia, jan A. 1e05.-To
the Honorable Secretary Of the California
Cricket Association, San Francsco-Dear Sir:
Yours of the 9th of December was handed to
me this morning by Major Wardlll and in
tralian cricketers for 1905 will not be passing
through San Francisco. We go through Can
ada TO England; unfortunately not
I should have liked to have seen San Fran
cisco once more Yours faithfully.
FRANK LAYER,
Manager Australian Eleven for 1908.
The Australian eleven is strong one.
containing men Of high reputation. 1t
includes Victor Trumper, generally
considered the greatest batsman in the
world. In 1902. while in England with
the Australian team. he scored 2670
runs. including IL Centuries" his aver
age being 4S.49. r. A Duff has a sound
defense. and is consistent scorer. M.
A. Noble is an extremely cautious bats
man and stays long at the wickets. S..
e. Gregory is not so brilliant as he
was, but possesses great skill and long
experience. A. r. Gehrs Of South
Australia has an easy, graceful style,
and is regarded as the most promising
batsman on the continent He played
successfully against the English team
captained by p. F. Warner, which
brought back the ashes to the old
country. Newland is a new man, a
good batsman and a trusty wicket
keeper. The regular wicket keeper will
be the veteran ]. J. Kelly. ]. Darling
is q fine batsman and an excellent cap
tain of an eleven.
The Australian bowlers are Noble,
Hopkins, Howell. Mcleod, Cottar and
Armstrong, with Trumper If needed.
Noble is a medium-paced, right-arm
bowler, as also are Howell, Hopkins
and Mcleod Noble has a great deal
Of artifice. Cottar is said to be the fast
est white bowler in the world, a
Queensland aboriginal being the fast
est. Cottar is difficult to play even on
a true wicket, but when helped by the
condition of the pitch is almost ire
sistible. The Australian newspapers,
which are critical of cricketers, state
that each fielder is perfect In his po-
sition. dashing in to meet the ball in
stead Of waiting for II to reach him.
