THE LEAGUE CODE.

OPENING OF SECOND ROUND.

PONSONBY V. DEVONPORT.

The second round in the senior grade competitions of the Auckland Rugby League will be entered upon to-morrow, when the chief attraction will be the match between Ponsonby and Devonpo c. , When these teams met in the first round a great contest resulted, Ponsonby scoring a narrow win after Devonport had lost the services of two men in the second spell. The men from across the water will field at full strength to-morrow, and -will certainly keep the Ponies busy. City should have no difficulty in scoring over Xewton, while the third game between Richmond and Grafton should be keenly contested, with Richmond perhaps emerging victorious.
