ASSISTING COUNTRY ASSOCIATIONS To the Editor. Sir. —Your correspondent “AVanganui’* bewails the fact of the AVellinglon Cricket Association not sending its coach round to the minor provinces under its Plunket Shield jurisdiction. Both Nelson and Taranaki are also in the Wellington territory, but have they sat back like “Wanganui”. is doing and asked for something which is not reasonable nor practicable? No, they decided to help themselves and, much to their credit, each engaged a coach to teach their voung fellows the game. What these "two associations have done can surely be emulated by Wanganui, which has a much larger population than either of the provinces named, and. should be able to support a permanent coach. 1 am certain there are sufficient cricket enthusiasts in AVanganui who would contribute to a coaching fund and “Wanganui” would be serving soma purpose if he were to organise such an effort.—l am, etc., “HELP YOURSELF." Wellington, February 21. M.C.C. TEAM IN AFRICA (A.P.A. and “Suu.”) Capetown, February ‘2O. M.C.C. in their last match in Africa made in their first innings 415 for eight wickets, declared (Stanyi'ortli not out 71, Staples not out 35).
