Nellie Cooke is No Judge of Sporting Announcers

To the Editor. Sir,-When Nellie Cooke, Glen Masiey, states that 1YA’s sports armouncer is one-sided, and then in a later issue of the "Record" coutradicts her own statement thus: "It was quite a change to listen to an announcer who was not for Walker" -or something to that effect-"as sorry to say, 1YA’s announcer is," she leaves herself open for criticism. I have noticed not one letter in your columns upholding her statement, but I have seen that readers have not been backward in praising him on’ his good work. If his favouritism for George Walker is so obvious, why is it that Nellie Cooke is the only person who

has made comment? [ will tell her. In the first instance (as anyone :can see by her letter issued a couple of weeks ago) she does not know ‘an efficient announcer when she hears one, in spite of the fact that’ she has been a regular listener, She places Mr. Hutter last on the’ list out of four announcers-a sure gign of her ignorance as far as judging announcers is concerned, Isee iby this week’s issué that Gordon Hutter is receiving about 500 letters weekly. Possibly these are com-

plaints -I am, ctc;,
