ATTRACTION WANTED
v A correspondent (E. L. Lukies) writes.— Aow that the New Zealand Cricket Council has robbed us of the Australian tour and there is no sign of the North and South Island match, it is up to the Wellington Lneket Association- to provide us with some good cricket-at Easter. Both Canterbury and Auckland, have already been uere, and are not likely to come again so we are thrown back, upon local players iven so, a good and attractive match CO"IV be J arranged for Easter Saturday and Monday between two teams constituted something like this (in order of batting) :-sJames's team: Dustin, ■dv Chateau, Christophersen, Ward, Ell, Al\cott, James, Rotherham, Parsloe, Tricklebank, Griffiths. Whyte'steam: Whyte, Tindill, Birch, Crook, Morgan, Lamason, McLean, Aim, Hatch, Blundell, Dean. The match would, of course, have to be given full-dress status. Let it be understood that the players selected are in duty bound to take part, let the players and the public know that the match is being regarded seriously and is being put on as a definite Easter attraction and not as a scratch game, and I am sure the cricket enthusiasts of Wellington (of whom there are more than some people eeem to imagine) would support it and have, for the first time in many years, a really good Easter attraction."
