Position of Country Players At the instance of the Manawatu Cricket Association, the Wellington association has decided to hold a conference with representatives of the nine minor associations under its wing in Wellington on Friday evening next, to discuss the vexed question of whether country players should have the same consideration in the selection of Plunket Shield teams as town players.

Broad, chairman of the management committee of the Wellington association, at last night’s meeting, said that the nine minor associations had been written to inviting them to send delegates to the conference.

Messrs E. B. Broad, W. A. Hammond and J. 11. Phillips were appointed to represent the association at the . conference. It was decided to invite Mr. T. C. Lowry to attend, and to hold over consideration of Mr. Lowry’s offer to bring a country eleven to the city to play a match against a town team.
