SPORTS FINANCE IN WAR
The anxiety of at least one sports organisation to help its parent body through the difficulties caused by the war was reflected in a resolution passed by the management committee of the Canterbury Cricket Association on Tuesday evening, states the "Press." The New Zealand Cricket Council depends for part of its revenue on a percentage of the gate takings at Plunket Shield matches, but no such fixtures are to be held this year. Mr. W. L. King suggested, however, that the same percentage should be paid to the council from the friendly interprovincial fixtures which are being arranged. "I notice in the council's bal-ance-sheet that the finances are falling behind. The council can do with all the help it can get," said Mr. King. The committee agreed to this unanimously, and in a subsequent telephone conversation with Dunedin it was learned that the Otago Cricket Association also apgroved o f the suggestion. ~^
