TARRANT TOUR FINANCE. (Recd. August 9, 8 a.m.) CALCUTTA, August 8.

A Bengal Cricket Association offi-. cial, interviewed, said definitely, that although the Maharajah of Patiala had promised to finance Tarrant’s team s tour, he insists that the Indian Board of Control should force the provinces to give big guarantees, so he may get back the original outlay. Bengal was asked for 20,000 rupees and Bombay 50,000. These and other provinces are insistent that Tarrant’s team is too weak to draw crowds. BOARD’S DECISION. (Recd. August 9, Noon.)
