It is estimated that Australia will receive by wireless more than 500,000 words on cricket to satisfy her interest in the English tour. Most of this amount will be at press rates, but scores, close of play figures and important messages will be sent at full rates, costing two shillings a word. The bill for Australia foi these cricket reports, at a conservative estimate, will be anything from £15,000 to £20,000, and if anything of a sensational nature happens the figures would be considerably exceeded. In addition to the wordage for ordinary matches and general news, an official of Imperial and International communications stated recently that from 20,000 to 30,000 words would be sent covering each of the five test matches. Nearly all this press work goes by beam wireless, and occasionally there is heavy pressure on the cables as well.
