N.Z. LEAGUE TOUR.
POOR GATE RECEIPTS. FINANCIAL FAILURE FEARED. TEAM SUFFERS FROM CASUALTIES. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received November 0, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 5. The Daily News says: "Admittedly, the New Zealand League players are suffering from casualties, necessitating three-quarters playing forward, but unless a vast change occurs the tour will be a failure. The attendances have been poor, even at Leeds, the game's chief stronghold. The receipts for last week were £260, compared with £1558 on the former tour. Trade depression does not account for the slump. The New- Zealanders' best chance of recovering their fortunes is to win the Test at Hull on November 13, in which the selectors have increased the visitors' prospects by the inclusion or three younger players. The New Zealanders will play at Paris on January 30.
