ATHLETICS
THE JAPANESE TOURISTS By Telegraph—Preao Asfioalatloa WELLINGTON, January 29. Doubt whether the tour of the Japanese athletes in February and March would pay its way, was expresesd by Mr A. C. Kitto at the adjourned annual meeting of the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association. He suggested that the tourists should be asked to compete on Wednesdays or other week days in addition to the weekly meeting and coaching and training appearances, not only to augment the financial return but to give country clubs the opportunity of seeing the Japanese in action. The chairman, Mr R. W. McVilly, said in the past nearly every overseas team complained of not having sufficient time between the contests. A motion was carried that the centres should not permit the athletes to compete in any advertised meeting other than those set out in the itinerary, without the permission of the council.
