CRICKET MANAGEMENT

FREEDOM OF ACTION. At a recent meeting oi cricket delegates it was resolved that the Management Committee of the Wellington Cricket Association be instructed to increase tho number of teams in tho senior competition from six to eight. Mr C. C. Wilson attended the subsequent meeting of_ tho committee, and explained that the action of the delegates was not intended in any way as a vote of uo-confidenco in tho Management Committee. The association resolved ; That this committee acknowledges the expression of opinion voiced at tho special meeting of delegates that the action _in movin'- a motion conveying a instruction to tho committee did not infer a want of confidence in tiro committee. Whilst this view is respected, the committee feels, nevertheless, that it is difficult in ticca to construe the notion of the delegates in any other way, inasmuch as they negatived an essential principle in the committee’s policy, 'j . ;, e committee is now placed in the an.v ’alous position of carrying into cflect a. policy which it is in disagreement with, rind this, to say tho least, js not in tho boot interest of successful management. Having regard to all iho circumstances, the committee desires to pla.ee on record tho view that it is not in the best acne-a’ ' of the sport to seriously tettn. re he freedom of action of - i oni:;ii«i,.v h policy matters onco it lu» been elected. -i-. ; '■'■■■ re tho procodent which has he»u i,. ; S’d in this connection.
