CORRESPONDENTS' VIEWS

_ In expressing agreement with Mr. W. 8. Brjce's opinions about the value of experience against England's best players, a correspondent ("T.P.") states:—"l have in my possession a cutting from. 1 the 'Daily Mail,' of the 6th.May, 1926, in which the following appears: 'The M.C.C. advises the county clubs to place their strongest teams in the field against the Australians as a courtesy to our guests.' " "Be Fair" draws attention to the fact that some of the leading players in England may be requiring rest after their strenuous county games, and in the _absence of an official statement regarding the omission of some wellknown players from the county teams against the New Zealanders the need of a spell may be accepted as the reason. The correspondent statejj that the Australians had the same experience. It is suggested, also, that perhaps the Board of Control has in mind the stag, ing of a Test or two before the tour concludes, and that the leading players might appear in those matches. At tho present time, however, there is no likelihood of Tests being played. Th» prograromo, as arranged, will keep-the New Zealanders fully occupied until their time of departure from England.
