Some weeks ago we gave prominence to an article dealing with the prospects of a few Ceylonese being included in the Indian team to tour England next year, and we also announced that a well-known local Parsee gentleman, Mr. F. E. Yaid, had informed us that a Ceylonese team was to be invited to participate in the Bombay cricket carnival next September. We were all along con­ fident of this, that given opportunities there was no reason why a few of the best Ceylonese should not find inclusion in the Indian team. The standard of Ceylon cricket has often been tested and in recent times it has been shown to be of a high order. What is required to ensure enhanced success is the arrangement of outside tours. The suggestion came from Bombay a month or two ago that the Ceylonese should take part in the forthcoming tournament, in which half a dozen or more Indian combinations will participate. We were assured that if the Ceylonese only performed as well as they did in 1906 on Indian wickets the chances of inclusion of a few of their side would be great. Provided the money necessary for the expenses of a tour is forthcoming— and that cannot exceed R3,000—we know of no reason that would stand against the best Ceylonese combination going over to Bombay in November to measure their strength with that of the pick of India. The experience gained from such a trip cannot be adequately gauged, and its use­ fulness will be proved in later years when the Ceylonese will go forth to conquer “ wider worlds.” We have the assurance of one of the most esteemed European cricketers in the Island that were the Ceylonese to prove their mettle against the crack Indian teams in November he will do all in his power to persuade the Marylebone Club, of which he is a member, to guarantee support to a Ceylonese team to visit England five years hence. What greater incentive could the Ceylonese have than this, to fit them­ selves by dint of steady practice for the big ciicket that they would have to indulge in, always provided the money is forthcoming ? This last seems to be the cruv of the whole question, but we hope it will not be said to the lasting shame of the Ceylonese that they failed to realise their obligations to their fellow countrjmen even though the matter involved was one of sport. Even in these days of hard struggle for existence there are many who have been blessed by specu­ lation on the Stock Exchange, and it is to these who can afford to give liberally to such a fund that we appeal for support. The sporting man in less favoured circum­ stances will not grudge to subscribe his mite, if he is appealed to by^ interested ones, but the chief support must naturally come from those who will not feel the pinch of a generous contribution. We shall be always happy to lend our support in the interests of true sport, and a project like this is one that we shall use every effort to assist .—The Ceylon Sportsman. BOOKS RECEIVED.
