Walker, secretary of the Los Angeles
Cricket Club. has been received by the
secretary of the California Cricket Asso-
citation, announcing that the southern
club will join the association. The Los
Angeles men are anxious to send q team
% San Francisco to try conclusions with
the city players. The visiting team would
include the best men available in South
crn California. As the arrangements
could not now be completed before July
!. the next public holiday available Is
September Q. An objection to the latter
date is that polo races take place at Santa
Monica on Admission day. and several Of
the best criCketers in Southern Califor-
mia VIII be taking part in them and SO
would have to be omitted from the crick-
citing team. The southern men would like
TO have three days cricket. and suggest
two days match against one of the city
clubs. and a one-day contest with a
scratch eleven made up of any city Crick-
eters who could get holiday for a game.
