CRICKET PROFITS
AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND The net profit on tho Australian cricket team's tour in England last summer amounted approximately to £42,000. Although not a record, the profit compares favourably with that of previous Australian tours, and but for tho " washed-out " test at Manchester, where not a ball could be bowled, all past figures would have been beaten easily. Tho distribution of profits was:— £3350 to the M.C.C. and each county on whoso ground test matches were played; £IOOO to each on whoso ground test matches were not played; £220 to each minor county and university. It is estimated that over a period of four years the counties who stage test matches on their grounds have received an average of £I4OO per annum toward the cost of maintenance and improvements.
