(Received this day at 9.50 a.m.) London, June 20. Tho “Athletic News” points out the results entirely justified Nelson Cricket Club’s financial plunge in engaging MacDonald. Already the Nelson Club has taken £1,127 sterling at the gates in

five Home matches, whereas the total income in 1921, its best season, was £l3-52. MacDonald’s presence in the sido creates a stir wherever Nelson auppears. He lias not yet played to a gate of less than £IOO sterling.
