Avery the captain, in a farewell statement in the “ Athletic News ” exonerates Air Alair (manager) irom the blame for vlic regrettable troubles of the Xew Zealand League team. He says: “Had the players supported Air Alair, and also Air Alair been given freedom to control the whole team, his management would have been very successful. I unhesitatingly say that Air Mair did not exceed his legitimate manager’s functions. On the contrary in the face of unprecedented difficulties. he <1 id his utmost to uphold his position. Though on delicate ground, 1 believe that the Council was remiss in not adequately supporting Messrs Bonder and Alair in their efforts to he managers ill reality. 1 consider their attitude towards the actions of the suspended players fully warranted the suspensions.”
