Proposed Sub-associations’ Competition. MANAGEMENT GF GAME. The proposal from the West Coast that the Canterbury Association .establish a competition among its sub-asso-ciations similar to the Hawke Cup competition was dealt with at a meeting of the Canterbury Cricket Association last night. The letter suggested the inclusion of the South Canterbury and Asnburton minor associations in the competition. It was stated that su.ch a scheme could not be started this season, and that there was little likelihood of the South Canterbury and Ashburton Associations joining in. A decision was made to send copies of the correspondence to the associations and sub-associations mentioned in the letter, and t.o state that a conference would be arranged if considered necessary.
