A RECENT DRAWN GAME.
[BT TELEGRAPH — r-RESS ASSOCIATION.] DUNEDIN, 14th January 1 : At a, meeting of the Otago Cricket Association to-night to discuss the match between Otago and Auckland, the president (Mr. C. P. Smith) called on our. T. T. Ritchie, manager, and Mr. C. G. Wilson, captain of the Otago team, for n, report. Mr. Ritchie stated that he had given tho Auckland Association to understand that the 'Otago team had not come eight hundred miles to play a drawn gaino. After the tots he and the captain interviewed the Auckland captain and made it quite clear that the game was on no account to be drawn. If Auckland wanted a few runs Otago would not raisa objections as lo time, and -expected similar treatment from Auckland.,.. They both left believing the matter to be adjusted, but Auckland would not allow the match to be played out,- and inpisted on drawing stumps at six o'clock. The associations evidently did not recognise the captains in the matter. It was resolved that a report be drawn up by the captain, manager, and president, and that the council be asked to tr\ke each steps as rrinv bo required iv the way of collecting information.
