PLUNKET SHIELD RULES
PLAYING OF PROFESSIONALS DISCUSSION BY COUNCIL Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. At a meeting of delegates to the New Zealand Cricket Council, formal effect was given to the decisions of the Cricket Conference in altering certain rules affecting the Plunket Shield matches, the inclusion of professionals and the appointment of New Zealand selectors. During the discussion of the new rules, which by agreement were deemed to apply last year, the question was raised as to whether Wellington was in order in playing Taylor, the Nelson professional. The chairman, Mr. D. Reese, said that if there had been a breach there was ground for protest. There seemed to be a division of opinion. A Member: The Management Committee takes the view that Wellington was right? The Chairman: It was not put up to us. A Member: You tacitly sat by and let them play him. The chairman said it was for the associations playing in Wellington to raise the question. Nobody would suggest that Wellington had deliberately done something the Conference had not intended. Mr. Caygill: Oh! Let the past remain. The subject was not further discussed.
