Newcomers to Wellington cricket this season include G. A. Rotheram, an English county player of a few seasons ago. This cricketer played for Rangitikei after his arrival from England, and subsequently went to Askland. It is stated that he will be playing for Petone from next Saturday. He was in the Cambridge University eleven before playing for Warwickshire and with the latter county he gained splendid figures as a bowler as well as doing fairly well as a batsman.
