WELLINGTON ELEVEN.
PROFESSIONALS INCLUDED. OBJECTION FROM OTAGO. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Dec. 22. Exception has, been taken by Otago to the personnel of the Wellington cricket team because it includes Dempster, McGirr and Lambert. Otago bases the objection to all three playing for Wellington at the one time on the rule relating to the inclusion of professional cricketers in Plunket Shield teams. There is a rule which precludes more than one professional being included, but it applies specifically to non-resident professionals, i.e., overseas players engaged to coach in New Zealand without becoming permanently resident here. The question was referred to the New Zealand Cricket Council authorities, and a ruling has been received that tile inclusion of all three in one team is quite in order. Du Chateau replaces Foley in tbs Wellington team. .
