AUSTRALIAN CRICKET TEAM
THE NEW ZEALAND TOUR SEVERAL WITHDRAWALS LIKELY MEAGRE ALLOWANCE TO PLAYERS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. SYDNEY, February 5. (Received February 5, at 11-30 a;in.) The ‘ Daily Telegraph’ says: “Several withdrawals from the cricket team to visit New Zealand are likely unless the meagre allowance to players is augmented. The players will receive only 15s a day, compared with 25s paid interstate players. The New Zealand tourists also require extra cricket clothing for an eight-weeks’ tour, and there is no special allowance for outfitting them. Some of the players witli home ties find themselves unable to afford the tour. The Northern District Club* is inaugurating a testimonial for Ghilvers. Perhaps the New_ Soutli Wales Cricket Association, which had its coffers swelled by the assistance of its three representatives in the team— Fingleton. Chilvers, and Hill—will also aid the players.”
