KILBIRNIE'S PROBLEM

.Kilbirnie's captain, Christophersen, was out of town for their present match with Hutt, and Rice, Bain, Ward, Parsloe, and Wilson wore away on Plunket- Shield business in Otago. One well-known Kilbfrnie barracker saw in all this a deep scheme "to do Kilbirnie out of the championship," and pleaded eloquently with some of the ■ chosen men to stay at home, and was most disappointed that he could get no one to cancel his trip with the "representatives.

J. Ashenden (Kilbirnie), who has been on the bank with an injury for some considerable time, turned out for his club in their match against Hutt last week, although he did not have a turn with the ball. Ashenden's injury will probably prevent him from bowling again this season, a' matter of regret, because early in the season he secured a large crop of wickets, showing the form that earned him a place in the Wellington Plunket Shield side last year.

The webbed wicketkeeping gloves used by the Victorian Ben Barnett, and which caused comment recently, will be taken by him on his tour of England with the Australian Test team. ■
