TO CAPTAIN M.C.C. TOURISTS IN NEW ZEALAND

INDIAN SIDE TO TOUR ENGLAND

Calcutta, June 28,

The possibility of an M.C.C. visit to India in the cold weather of 1930-1931 looms larger than ever and it is now safe to say that there is every likelihood that the M.C.C. will send a strong team to tour India and Ceylon from November,

1930, to about February, 1931.

At a meeting of the Bengal and Assam Cricket Association, held here this evening, the proposed itinerary was discussed. The Board

of Control have suggested Decem- ber 30 to January 20 but as this will seriously interfere with the Bengal Lawn Tennis Champion- ships, which are run anuually by the Calcutta Cricket Club at Eden Gardens it was decided to inform the Board that those dates were en- tirely unsuitable. It was suggest ed that Calcutta should be visited from December 20 to January 10.

Indian Tour

The itinerary of the tour will fol- low on the lines of the last oc- casion, but fewer centres will be visited. It is certain, according to present suggestions, that games will be played in Karachi, Lahore, Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Rangoon, and Madras, before Ceylon is visit- ed.

A meeting of the Indian Board of Control will be held in England on August 19. It has been decided to ask Mr. S. C. B. Lee to represent Bengal and Assam.

of

The meeting further considered the proposal of the Board of Con- trol that an Indian team should visit England in the summer 1931, and it was decided that in view of the fact that the M.C.C team would be here early in 1931, A. E. R. Gilligan, the captain of tour in England were arranged for it would be more suitable if the Sussex, has accepted an invitation the summer of 1934.

Accused denied the offence and said that she was never in the shelter but was asleep at the time when the officer boarded her vessel, which was anchored outside.

Lance-Sergt. Wotton said that as he entered the shelter a number of sampans scattered. He noticed that accused was one of the bunch. Outside he managed to arrest her.

The coxswain of No. 9 Police launch said that he saw accused being arrested outside the shelter. He did not see her inside at all.

Accused in stating her case denied ever having been inside the shelter. She had anchored her sampan out- side.
