CRICKET CONTROVERSY
AUSTRALIANS' INDIA TOUR SYDNEY, July 27 Continuing its criticism of the Australian Cricket Board of Control, the Daily Telegraph says representations may be made to the Commonwealth Government over the board's decision to bar Kippax, Chilvers, Oxenham, Rigg, Woodfull, Ponsford and Nitsche from going to India with Frank Tarrant's team. On two previous occasions, once over the bodyline dispute, and again in connection with abandonment of the NewZealand tour the summer before last, the Government interested itself in cricket matters. It is suggested that the board's decision may have an adverse effect on the goodwill between India and Australia, and that it might react seriously against Australia's trade with that country, which is increasing in every quarter. This is particularly likely, says the Telegraph, because of the fact that the Maharaja of Patiala, who is to finance the tour, is one of the hereditary rulers of the Indian Empire, and the board's action might be construed I as an offence to him.
