None for 90—dollars
One member of the Canterbury second XI cricket team should be bristling with aggression when the match against Otago B begins at Hagley Oval on Sunday. In spite of continuing rain yesterday morning, the player set out, albeit a little late, for the scheduled practice at Lancaster Park.
In his anxiety to be on time, he did not notice his
speedometer reading creep up to 70 km/h. The hapless fellow was spotted by a Ministry of Transport officer who considered his explanation as being insufficient to merit anything other than a $9O fine. To make matters worse, a belated arrival at Lancaster Park disclosed the rain had forced a cancellation of practice.
