CRICKET.

IREDALE'S APPOINTMENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, December 15. Mr Frank Iredale, the ex-interna-tional player, has been chosen as secre. tary of the Cricket Association. THURSDAY v. SATURDAY. A match has been arranged for Christmas Day between teams representing Thursday and Saturday players. The match will be played on the Sports Ground. The Saturday team will be selected by Mr. K. Bain, and the Thursday team by Mr D. CVe.gg (Inglewood), Ifr'is understood that players who par. ticipate in the game on both Thursdays and Saturdays are to be available for [election with the Thursday eleven. The representati. e tJam to meet South Taranaki will in all probability not be chosen until after ibis match. 'i'HE HAWKE CUP. To-day the Wanganui team will be called upon for the first time this seasen to defend the Hawkc Cup. South Taranaki, who are the challengers, have a strong team this year, and are confident of putting up a big fight for supremacy. The result of the match will be awaited with interest locally, as North Taranaki have challenged Wanganui for the Cup, the match to take place at a later date. Should the Cup go to Hawera, the match which has been arranged between North and South Taranaki, to eventuate at Hawera on Janu. ary 1 and 2, will probably be made a challenge match. Cricketers should, therefore, keep in practice.
