“DEGRADING TEST CRICKET." AUSTRALIAN COMPETITIONS, Press Association—Copyright, Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received 9.50 a.m.) • London, October 27. sfThe Athletic News, in ah article headed “Degrading Test Cricket”'and (‘Tariff that should be banned,” roundly condemns the ’ proposals of ail Australian firm in seeking an advortisemqnb'.and offering cash bonuses to the Australian players for outstanding’performances, and adds; “If a player will not do his uttermost these specious inducements, he is not worth his place in the team., nor is the acceptance of a teniier for a: bentury within England’s idea of amateurism. No douht the Australian cricketer is not much troubled about the label, or shall we say that his conception, of amateurism ds quite foreign to mvr rule. There is not much likelihood of either the English or Australian Boards of control interfering with these obnoxious proposals ; yet it might be worth while to take action forbidding players to accept such prizes.”
