SIR-Anyone who knows any "thing about local cricket and is interested in it to the extent of reading "R. Abbit's" excellently informed and most admirably writ- ten Notes to the Daily Pre must agree with him wholeheartedly in all that he has written with refer to the Interport Selection Committee. What puzzles me and others interested in why rooin is not found on such's Committee for such an enthusiast "R. Abbit ** himself, who is obviously at least as well qualified as anyone in the Colony to act. in such a capacity. I do not know, "E. Abbit" per- sonally, but as one who very highly appreciates his Notes it seems to me that he is much more qualified to act on the Selection Committee than most of those chosen to serve on it. Perhaps it is not too late to substitute him for one of the potential interport players, whore such a Committee inclusion on seems rather, absurd.-Yours. etc..
