SURPRISING CHANGES.

There are surprising changes in England's Test team for the fifth and final match which starts at the Oval on Saturday and which is to be played to a finish in order to decide the future destination of the "Ashes." The biggest surprise is the dropping of Mr. A. P. F. Chapman as captain and sub- stituting Mr. R. E. S. Wyatt of Warwickshire. Fourteen men have been selected, Reuter cabling the names as follows:

R. E. S. Wyatt.

W. W. Whysall

L. Ames.

C. W. L. Parker.

K. S. Duleepsinhji.

J. Hobbs.

H. Sutcliffe.

W. R. Hammond.

M. Leyland.

M. W. Tate.

H. Larwood.

G. Duckworth."

I. A. R. Peebles. E. Hendren.

A British Wireless message does not include the name of Hendren and adds that the men given above have been selected to enable the Committee to field a tearn good for either a dry or a wet wicket. The message adds that the new captain, Mr. Wyatt, did well in India in 1924 playing for the English team and this year played in all the five Test matches in South Africa.
