SUBURBAN ASSOCIATION

TRANSFER RULE FLOUTED The transgression of the transfer rule and pointed cases of irregularities were mentioned at last evening's meeting of the Auckland City and Suburban Cricket Association when Mr. A. Donald gave notice to amend the present transfer rule. Mr. Donald said that at present players, particularly juniors, were being transferred up to the time of the commencement of a match on Saturday. The transfer rule was being flouted, and ho moved that all applications for transfer must be agreed to by the executive three days prior to the first day of piny. The chairman, Mr. J. Elliott, expressed the opinion that the present lulo was covered by authority of the emergency committee, which had so far this season dealt with nil cases in correct procedure. Mr. L. Martin pointed out that there was a weakness in the motion, as each transfer should bo in the hands of a responsible oflicial, and, where it was not possible, an emergency committee should deal with each case on merit. The motion was eventually defeated. Reference to the omission of F. Wood from Hie combined team to play the M.C.C. at Matamata to-daf was keenly discussed. Several delegates expressed the opinion that, as Wood was originally invited, together with C. Kerr, he should have been included. Another delegate snid the Piako Cricket Association was responsible for the altered arrangements and not the Auckland Cricket Association, as had been suggested. It was decided to defer any action pending the return from Matamata of Mr. F. Cooper, a member of the Suburban Association Committee. The Auckland Cricket Association advised that; the coach. L. F. Townsend, would continue coaching at tho Domain on Wednesday. It was decided to express sympathy with Mr. K. J. Rennie, president of the Bay of Plenty Cricket Association, who was a heavy loser in a fire at Tauranga. Mr. Elliott snid Mr. Ronnie gave splendid support to the tour of the Suburban representative team. It was agreed to terminate the second and third grade competitions, nnd hold a combined Beries of one-day matches for cups to be donated.
