TOUR TAKINGS

N.Z. CRICKETERG LOSS PREDICTED BRADMAN’S DISMISSAL SYDNEY - , Nov. 23. The manager of the New Zealand cricket team, Mr T. Lowry, estimates that the extra expense associated witn the Australian visit amounts to £7OO. He is afraid that as the team was guaranteed only 75 per cent, of the net profits on the Australian matches the loss on the Australian*tour will probably amount to £350. The early dismissal of Bradman in the South Australian match certainly affected the attendance in that State. The takings in the match against New South Wales amounted to £446. COWIE AS BOWLER “CANNOT GO ON FOR EVER” SYDNEY, Nov. 23. Mr C. G. Macartney, commenting in the Herald, says: “Cowie is a good bowler, but he cannot go on for ever, and must be relieved and, because there was insufficient skill in the bowling to support him, New Zealand’s grip on the game was bound gradually to slip away.” NEW ZEALAND CRICKET MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN f Per ’’resß Association. 7 CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 23.
