AUSTRALIAN BOWLERS COMING TO NEW ZEALAND
8TDNEV, ,Jan. 24. Ihe first Australian bo^^'ls side for niuny years to visit New Zealand will leave here 011 Thursday. It will consist of 32 players, the lnajority of whoui are from New 8outh .Wales, and all of wliom will pay their own expeuses. Each 8tate was givcn a quota, and the players were chosen liy 8tate oxecutives and not by seloctoi's, so tliat the tour is regarded more as a goodwlll gesture than a trial of strength. "8ocialJy the tour sliould be a great success, " commeuts the 8yduey Morning Herald, "but it will not give Nov/ Zealand the liest iinpression of our strength. The Australian BowJing Club's version of amutcurism is so rigid tliat it will not pay a penny towards living expeuses for .niembers of the team. Only tkose wlio can afiord it are eligible. "
