AUSTRALIAN VISIT
(To the Editor.) r
Sir,—l; would like to congratulate your contributor, "Not Out," on the soundness ot his views regarding the cancellation of tiie Australian tour ar:d upon1 his suggestion that even now a short tonr might be possible. I only wish the members of the New Zealand Cricket Council had half His- pertinacity and initiative. One method of curtailing the expenses that suggests .itself to me. and that, s6 far as I snow, has never- been considered, is a reduction -in the ground charges. I undert ?l the: Clty Council takes 20 per cent, of the gate receipts at the Basin Reserve,, and probably the position i S: something the same in Auckland and Christchurch. HalE a loaf, is better than no bread, and would it not be better for the authorities to 10 per cent, than ;to have no match—with, of course, a proviso for increase if the tour was sufficiently successnil financially.—l am, etc. ;
ENTHUSIAST.
