A quick check on England's cricket followers just now reveal a high proportion of red faces. That is if armchair and other critics remember what they said six months ago. England's team to tour Australia had just been chosen.

Fox-hunting In Ireland Has Now Become An

International Affair

By GERARD

BOURKE

If you're looking for changes in Old Ireland, go to the Wilds of the West. And then go

on to the hunting field.

Shannon Airport now brings a large number of American visitors for hunting holidays with the Co. Limerick Foxhounds. And many country estates that were the homes of well-known Irish families before the war have been bought, or leased, by retired British officers,

The rush to well-fed Ireland was fast during the immediate postwar years, despite a tux imposed by the Irish Government on cross-channel buyers of Irish property. Still the rural characters live on, straight from the pages of Somerville and Ross. The ass-and-cart drivers meander along the narrow, winding roads, a hazard to the fast double horge-boxes.

By "PAK LO”

This evening the various Pentangular selectors will congregate to pick a Colony XV and a Combined Services XV. The reason for those two selections is that very shortly the Colony will receive a visit from a Combined Malayan-Singapore XV.

At present the members who make up this team are unknown, but It is hoped that before their appearance here in person, a pen portrait of each member will appear in print.

This

team is not the Fijian XV, who will, if they are suc - cersful again in the Malayan Singapore Land Forces Inter- Unit

Accused Of Being "Batsman Happy"

Melbourne, Jan. 18.

There has been some criticism here regarding the Australian team for the Fourth Test starling at Adelaide on January 28.

But J. P. Mlilard, writing in the Melbourne Herald, says that whatever team was chosen, there would have been "chinks".

"The batting line up still does not inspire con- fidence," he said, "but the selectors can hardly be blamed. They had to take a lucky (or unlucky) dip from batsmen
