FOOTBALL J. Sinclair, last season’s New Zealand full-back, is now a resident of Hawera, and will bo available for Taranaki this season. « « « • A contemporary remarks:—Hawke’s Bay players are keen, but evidently Taranaki players are keener. Already there have sevon-a-side tournaments in tho butter province, and the Club games which have taken place have seen the various teams at practically full strength. Taranaki football in tho past few seasons has fallen somewhat from its high estate, but if enthusiasm and hard work can do anything it will speedily recover its lost prestige. CRICKET William Rafferty, captain of the Wagga |(N.S.W.) Cricket Club, is 71 years of ago, and the oldest player in Australia. He has played with over tw-enty different Clubs in N.S.W., including the old Rodfcrn team, Middle Harbour (now called Manly), and Balmain, and has represented his State against Queensland. Two of his grandsons also play in the same team.
