AS was expected the California

As Was expected, the california
cricket association, at its meeting
Thursday took cognizance of the
necessity of something to insure fair
play in the selection of the future
association teams. The trouble arose
over the fact that men were selected
on teams that had only played one
game here, and that these men dis
placed men of long standing with
splendid local regulations.
me amendment to the bylaws that
was passed Will mete out equality to
all. To be eligible for selection a man
must have played in at least two cham
pionship games,
The game between northern and
southern California that was to have
been played on July and 5 at Del
Monte has been abandoned, 1t is very
ton will send a team to Los Angeles
to meet the southern team. Negotia-
tions are now being carried on with
this end in view, and it is possible
the southern club will be willing to
defray a liberal proportion of the ex-
penses If the local association will
send a team down. 1t is proposed that
the team will leave here on the Owl
city on Tuesday morning, July 6.
