;;; OTAGO; MANAGER'S OPINION.,;. ■ V; (By TeloErain.—Press Association.), ■ vI .;■'■'• ■}'■■' v Auckland, February 9.-' , iThe Otago representative cricket tea'ni arrived in ' Auckland' this raorning,' arid: was'met on arrival by the officers and members" of'the; Management: Committee: of. : the' Auckland- Criokjet Association; The , Otago. manager (Mr. ;J.-Hope) spoke hopefully '.of > the -prospects, of -his .team, in the coining match/ "The-combination we J ihava, brought along as,;the selectors phdse jt,"; stiicl. Mr, .Hope,. "and"it is about'as good a team, as Otago can" pM: into the field;-;. Wo realise that the , Auckland eleven ■"' is a hard one. to. beat, but iye are going to. win if we'can.- In my opinion , the two' teams' aro very evenr \j ■ matohed; and I ; expect • a very keen contest with very, little-between them, at; the finish, whatever the result may be.-" Auckland,.,' playing f on .. its own ground, '. accustomed to this enervating olimate, and heartened by tho previous successes of,. this season, has something of an -advantage.--"S We are, however,, going to put up thei best "fight :we can, , and, whatever the result may be, we-are going - to play a sporting game, and tic-' cept victory or defeat in a sportsmanlike spirit. Wo find ' the Auckland climate' .vastly-different to , that of Dunedin, and,if the days on which.wo play are as hot■ land! sultry as to-day, bur men are not likely to find it conducivo to a display' : of good cricket." ' : .'.-. .: '■/' ]s:i:elti\eligible?;. '■.■;•;<] . The qualification of A. E. Kelf.tho English professional, in regard ; to tho lhatch between 'Auckland and. Otago is .creatinß great interest;-'•••The clnriso in iiulo •!) (I'lunkot Shield Kules), wjvicli is quoted

in conhoctioh with his case, is briefly'to the effect that-no one shall-be eligible to play in a Phinkct Shield match unless ho has 'fc bbiia fidb inteiitiori of remaining in the district for a period of ; iiot less than four months. The action, of tho Now Zealand .'Ci'icket .-Council in regard..-to Kolf appears ■•'.to the .Auckland press a 'drastic one. He has now .spent..four seasons, ill tho province,; this period .of tiiiio aggregating qvei- sixteen months.. Also lib has takoli part in , sis ■ riiinkot Shield matches. It is consequently concluded that, whatever the strict letter of the law liJny bo, it-ivas nevpr iiitenied in spirit to cover "a case of this sort. Eelf, by leaving oil thi):2lth, .would .bo about ten days under, tho prescribed 'peridd.. H is probable that Eelf will play.against:'Otago.
