LORD HAWKE NOT
WITH THE TEAM
Was Injured in Hunting Accident
Just Before They Left
England.

Lord Hawkes. team of famous crick-
eters, although minus their leader, ar
rived in Honolulu on the Oceanic liner
Ventura last night on their way to New
Zealand. Lord Hawke is not with the
| team. He broke his collar bone in a
hunting accident just before they left
England so that he will be unable to
play with the team while they are
piling up runs in the Greenland of the
! South.
| The team is now captained by P. F.
| Warner, a fine batsman, and well
known IN the amateur cricket clubs of
England. Another star man is c. ].
| Durnup, who holds a fine batting rec
ord. He is one of the three players
who made over 1000 runs each in first
class cricket during the last season.
The other two were Trumber, the great
Australian batsman, and Abel. An
other fine player in the team is Z. L.
| Taylor, a crack all around amateur.
| He was to have played in the big ALL
England team against Australia but
| at the last moment stood down. E. NJ.
| Dowson, another crack amateur, is to
| Captain the Cambridge eleven i'll the
big English struggles next year.
The other amateur members of the
team are A. E. Leatham, F. L. Fame,
b. j. T. Bosauquet, P. r. Johnson, A.
D. Whatmsn, and J. Staining. There
are two professionals in the eleven,
Messrs. Hargreaves and Thompson.
Eighteen young Britishers, residents
Of California, tried conclusions with the
Hawke aggregation in San Francisco
during the stay of the team there, but
the boys from the Old Country easily
defeated them. The Californians were
all out for 125 but the English team
made 155 and had three wickets to
spare. Warner made fifty-two runs and
Bosauquet fifty while Thompson, one
cf the professionals, had to be satisfied
with goose-egg.
While the team is not nearly repre-
sentative English team it is said to be
rafting good amateur team and con-
tains some of the strongest men from
the English county and college elevens.
The boys Cined at the Hawaiian hotel
last night and many of them stated that
While the team is not as strong as the
one Maclapen took out to Australia it
is quite capable of doing up the New
Zealanders
Capt. Warner expressed his regret
last evening that the ship did not reach
here in time for meeting between his
men and the local cricketers He said
that despite the fact that they had been
on the water for so long, they would
have been delighted to have a chance to
show their form against any local COM
bination
1t is the plan of the men to stay in
New Zealand until the end of February
and then go to Australia. They will
sail from Sydney, according to the pres
ent itinerary, on the Vancouver liner
leaving April 10th. There is chance
that they may be compelled to take the
direct route home by way of the Suez
canal. If they come this way they will
endeavor to arrange with the Sydney
office that they will be given the clear
day here in order that they may have
a match with the local players. The
cr1cketers were met at the hotel by rep
resentativeS of the local club, and were
entertained during the evening. They
will be shown about the island this
made so that there will be a game
should they go through this way in the
spring. Mr.. Warner was most en-
phatic in his expressions of regret that
they could not play this time, and hope
full that there might be a game when
next they come this way.
