CRICKET TOURS.
SO TXI IDITOK. Sir, —With astonishment I learn thal the Otago Cricket Association has decided to send a manager with the Otago team on its northern tour. The finance* of the association are not, I understand, in a healthy condition, yet at a time when it behoves us one and all to practise every economy we have the spectacle of an important body such as the O.C.A. needlessly adding at least £2O to the cost of the tour. That a manager is unnecessary is proved by the fact that our last New, Zealand team in England was managed* and managed most successfully, by a player. In the present team one of the players is ‘ a member of the staff _ oil our tourist department, which specialises in managing and arranging tours.In addition I believe that noth hotel accommodation and tickets have, already been arranged for, I have been a consistent supporter of the association’s funds for some years, but its nreent decision is causing me to think whether I am justified in contributing towards the finances of a body which obviously, does not know how. to conserve it# funds.—l am, etc.. (Djlio. December. 1Z- j.
