ADVICE TO NEW ZEALAND

Commenting upon the big loss incurred NewTe 1 1 t l he t M-C-C- Yarn's tourof JNew Zealand last season, the cricket wnter for the "Sydney Keferee" states: In Australia, we have heard some stones of the expenses heaped upon the New Zealand Council by 6 ome of the tourists. If th ese be true, the Dominion fathers m cricket have to^rin and bear it, for they permitted the expends to go on. Possibly in future they will have matters of expense clearly denned and a limit put down in black on white. Meanwhile until New Zealand cricket becomes strong enough to now and then whip a touring team of the strength of the latest vislors, it might be better to entertain teams from cquntries closer at hand, such ag the Australian States and to organise a New Zealand team to visit England and thus obtain educations for the men that not ten years of ordinary representative cricket would impart to players of the keen cricketing intelligence and abilities."
