Cricket 1905

S ept . 21, 1905. CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 431 met Messrs. Roderick Murchison, Jas. M‘Laughlan, and C. Forrester as repre­ sentatives of the Melbourne Cricket Club. The delegates went really further than had been originally intended, and a basis of agreement for the settlement of all difficulties was drawn up. This proposed settlement provided that the Victorian Cricket Association and the Melbourne Cricket Club should each appoint one representative for Victoria on the board of control; that the Melbourne Cricket Club should control the financial arrange­ ments of international matches inVictoria, and should allow the association a per­ centage (to be agreed upon) of .the profits of international matches in Victoria; and should grant the use of its ground for interstate matches as heretofore. This basis of agreement was submitted to a number of members of the association, but the clauses as to the finance of international matches were not agreed to. The delegates met again, and a definite offer has now been made by the Melbourne C.C., which should have the effect of bringing the settlement to an head. The club declines the offer of a nomination of one of the Victorian delegates, but offers the use of its ground for intersate matches on the terms which now exist, viz., that the association take all the profits. With regard to international matches, the club is willing, no matter how an English eleven comes out to Australia, to grant the use of its ground for matches, and to hand over to the association and league clubs 75 per cent, of the gross “profits. The delegates of the association and the club will meet during the next day or two to deal with the question.— Australasian. The Victorian Cricket Association met on August 10th to receive the report of the delegates to the conference with the Melbourne Cricket Club, which bad resulted in an agreement being come to on the question of the Board of Con­ trol. Mr. L. A. Adamson presided. There was a full attendance of delegates. The chairman reported that the recom­ mendation of the delegates was that the constitution of the Board of Control should be altered so as to give the Mel­ bourne Cricket Club one independent member on the board iu addition to the two representatives from the Victorian Cricket Association. The club was pre­ pared to allow the use of its ground for interstate matches as heretofore. As regarded international matches, the M.C.C. would charge 20 per cent, of the gross takings; the balance, after the payment of expenses, to go to the association, but ihe M.C.C. would not participate in the balance as a member of the association. This matter was, of course, dependent on the New South Wales Association accepting the proposal for separate repre;entation of the M.C.C. Mr. E. E. Bean moved: “ That the secretary of the Australian Board of Con­ trol and the New SouthWales and Queens­ land Cricket Associations be informed that this association’s representatives will move at the annual meeting of the board in September next that the clauses of the constitution be amended, so that the Melbourne Cricket Club may te ad­ mitted to the Board of Control and be given one representative thereon.” The moticn was seconded by Mr. Eilis (Fitzroy), and carried unanimously. Mr. M. Fitzgerald said the thanks of the association were due to the delegates who had succeeded in bringing the estrange­ ment to a conclusion. The Melbourne Cricket Club had met them in a most generous manner. The club had been forced into a corner, and had had to fight, but it was satisfactory to know that all breaches had been healed. Mr. C. Nodrum : What is to happen if the New South Wales Association does not agree ? Have the delegates any proposals ? The Chairman: It would be inadvisable at this stage to suggest that New South Wales will not agree. (Hear, hear.) Mr. E. E. Bean : Even if New South Wales does reject the proposal, both the association and the M.C.C. are eager to preserve peace, and a modus vivendi will be found. Adelaide Observer.
