To this and invitations were sent to masy, representative cricketers in these colonies, but the number of refusals have boen so great that Mr, Yearwood has been compelled to abandon the idea.
His failure is a distinct loss, for the opportunity of testing Jamaican cricketers against their rivals in the other colonies, bas now passed It would be ungenerous and urjust however to. censure those who have found it impossible to make the trip. Cricket with most of us is a matter which is sconda buisness and in view of the number of tours which the leading cricketers in the West Indie will be called upon to make in the near future they cannot be expected to undertake the Jamaica tour to the detriment of business. Many of the amateurs find it difficult, on account of expense involved to take part in tours at all, and were it not for the generosity of some of of our wealthiest cricketers lost to intercolonial cricket altoof the best men would be many gether. We would tberefore adyise our friends in Jamaica 10 forget their dissappointment and to wait until Barbados cans end a really sirsng team to do with her giants. It would be do battle bad both from the sporting and financial point of view, to send teada a side which could not glve a good game in Jamaica. West Indian team without Challenor would certainly be deprived of one of its chief attractions. The cricket loving publici in Barbados is anxious to maintain the most amicable relations with the cricket loving public of Jamaid, The Jamalca cricketers who vislied us lo 1925 showed all the qualities of good sportsmen and endeared themselves the to Barbados public.
It will bə ill advised on the part public crietics thing to cause enstragement between the two colonies. No discourtesy is intended and we bave no fear, but circumstances have been too strong for us; and we shall ask our friends in Jamaica to bear their disapolntment with equanimity.
Though a tour has been fouud impossibls this year we hope that in the near future Jamaicans will bave the opportunity of entertaining a team which is fully representative of the strength of Barbados.
