CRICKET WRANGLE
The London Daily Mail, in an article referring to a “bitter Australian cricket wrangle,” declares that New South Wales is sore because Bradman and other players have transferred to South Australia. New South Wales, the paper says, is asking what South Australia is paying its players, and will probably suggest that Bradman should not be an Australian selector. New South Wales is afraid that it may be forced to pay its players similar amounts. “It is an unpleasant controversy, adds the Daily Mail. “Britain’s experience suggests that it is better to be frank in connection with money. The refusal to acknowledge professionalism is snobbery.”
