NEW CRICKET CLUB.

PHOENIX STARTS WITH STRONG MEMBERSHIP. (From the Levip Chronicle). In support of the recent prediction that cricket would be in the forefront of summer sports in the 1926-27 season a new club—the Phoenix—has come into being with an assured membership of 20 members. Mr D. S. Mackenzie, who is keenly interested in cricket, conceived the idea of forming another club and a meeting was held in Mr C. 11. Bould’s room on Monday night to bring the preliminary arrangements to a head. Mr ’ Mackenzie occupied the chair. The first muster will, in all probability, be held on when' it is likely that the Phoenix team will play Levin. After a good deal of routine business had been discussed, the personnel of the club’s executive was considered, and from the names which appear in the undermentioned schedule of elected officers it is plain that each officer is one who is interested iu most branches of sport, both winter and summer. , OFFICERS.
