ONLOOKER'S VIEWPOINT.
THAT LEAGUE PROTEST. On the subject of the Ponscnby protest against a decision of the referee in the match Ponsouby v. Marinte on May 21, a correspondent, James Ellis, writes expressing surprise that tha Auckland League could not decide whether the referee's decision that the Ponsonby full-back had touched the ball in Might was a question of fact or of law. He adds that looking at the play through binoculars he distinctly saw the flight of the ball changed by touching the fullback's right hand. On the same subject "Fair Go" writes expressing the opinion that the referee's ruling was a "most glaring decision given in favour of a Marist player for off-side play."
