DON BRAHMAN
ALLEGED BREACH OF AGREEMENT OWN SIDE OF CASE GIVEN. (Vailed Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) Sydney, January 7. Breaking the silence he has preserved over the action of the Board of Control in censuring him for his alleged breach of agreement on the Test tour, Don Bradman now gives his side of the case. He states that he still considers he did not break the agreement, declaring that no sum of money, no matter how large, could compensate him if his honour were affected. Bradman explains that his writings were in the form of a book which the agents sold to a London paper, and the paper published them in the form of a serial. He stipulated that nothing whatever relating to the tour in progress should be published in any shape of form prior to his return to Australia, and, this stipulation was strictly adhered to. Bradman says he will accept the board’s deciison to deduct £5O from his allowance in what he hopes will be regarded as the proper spirit.
