Matches.—The Match Committee _s iKinded a request by the Wairarapa Union for a match In Auckland on •Scptouiher 11 <>r 18. The Tarannki Union Intimated that its rep. team could not visit Aockland until August, and then only on a Thursday. The committee was unanimous that a Thursday match was not agreeable to Auckland. Mr P. McKlwaln was appointed manager of the rep. team to visit Thames. Referee* for Rep. Matches.—The N.Z. Tnion intimated that it had decided to select referees for rep. matches. The committee unanimously disagreed with the N.Z. Union's action, and considered that the N.Z. Union had the right to select referees only for the Ranfurly Shield pames. It was decided to support a protest by the Wellington Tnion against this decision of the controlling body. •Tnder 20" Reps.—lt was announced that as Sacred Heart College teams were on holiday, the arrangements for a match between a team of "tinder 20" reps and a combined college team could not be made The committee decided to endeavour to get a combined team from the King's College and Grammar School to meet the "under 20" reps. Miscellaneous.—Grafton club withdrew its third grade team from the competition A request from the Parnell thirds for certain referees was received. An offer of Mr W. Marshall to place his motor car at the disposal of injured players each Saturday was gratefully accepted.

NORTHERN TJNTON. SENIOR MATCHES RE-CASTED. The Management Committee of the Auckland Rugby League met last night, Mr J. „rlaw presiding. Messrs. C. Sinclair and W. Pearce waited on the committee to discuss misunderstandings in connection with the Post and Telegraph Club. One stated that the P. and T. Football Club was. or had until recently, been under the control of the P. and T. Social Club, and asked the League to recognise that social body: while the other gentleman contended otherwise. The committee decided that the matter was one outside its jurisdiction, as it could recognise only registered and affiliated bodies, but the deputation was advised by Mr Carlaw as to the course most likely to avert further friction. A member of the City senior team, who answered a summons to appear before the committee for using bad language to a

nno umpire, was admonished and warned, (adman, of the Ponsonby team, was suspended from playing until he appeared before the committee to answer an official report that be had threatened to take his team off the field last Saturday, on account of a ruling of the referee: the committee emphasised the necessity of players recogBising that teams must keep faith with the pnhlic. It was stated that the Grafton club had decided to withdraw its senior team from 'he competition, on account of the thirteen having p, ipn serionslv weakened by sereral causes, the chief being the absence of members with the touring team in Australia. The committee derided to re-cast arrangements for the senior matches, so that all the teams left in might have a pam» each week. The re-draw resulted: — June 2S.—Ponsonhy v. Newton. City v. Maritime.
