Friendship's Fertility
TO some men is given the sublime faculty of unconsciously tending
the fertile tract of personal popularity, reaping untold crops of fellowship and unsought favor. \ The list of mankind reveals the identity of a few who are honestly entitled to the appellation "sportsman," and we find among Dunedin's quota the name of Frank Williams. "Bash" Williams was a foundation player of the old Albion cricket club, from which his then obscure identity blossomed into a New Zealand selectorship and a pleasant entree into cricketing companionship throughout the country. A tailor m his spare time away from score-books and pavilion parleys, he has woven for himself a handsome garment of substantial friendships, calculated to withstand the wear of numberless years.
