AUCKLAND CONTROL BOARD. 1 TWO PLAYERS SUSPENDED PROGRAMME FOR SATURDAY. " I regret these things" remarked Mr "■ G. Grey Campbell, chairman of the Auck - s land Rugby League Control Board, las evening, after inquiry in committee int< >' the ordering off of players in the Marist e Mount Albert match at Carlaw Park 01 •8 Saturday. The speaker added that while it might be said that such unfortunati incidents were not confined to their gam< ), this season, the interests of sport generally ■'> were not served by such lapses, whicl ' were to be deprecated. Herring (Mount Albert) and Carte: .] (Muriels) were suspended for one playin; i, Saturday, and Flaunagan and Hassai (Mount Albert) were severely repn ? manded. The last mentioned did no ' appear, but sent a letter apologising foi I his absence owing to his work. Y Pride of place in Saturday's games was g allotted to the match between City Rover* 0 and Richmond, with the I'onsonby-Mounl ' Albeit fixture as curtain-raiser, am , Marist and Newton on No. 2 ground. The Taranaki Rugby League advised itc \ acceptance of a match against Auckland on Saturday week, and the South Auckland League advised that it was consider ,' ing tho same proposition at a special r meeting. A letter from the Mount Albert Club in connection with a communication from the ~ Taradale Club (Hawke's Bay) for a match j with Mount Albert at Auckland wae 1 recommended to the New Zealand Council Mr. J. A. Redwood, who managed the t Richmond team's visit to Wellington, said , the game was not of high standard, and ? the Wellington team was at least to be congratulated upon it« defence. Dustin, ', the Wellington captain, was a player who ' seemed likely to go far in the game. The ' Wellington Control Board made splendid , arrangements. The Richmond Club thanked the board, as well as the New Zealand Council for the opportunity to 1 travel, and hoped that the match would benefit the code. Incidentally, Mr. Red- ' wood said he had had a telephone ring from A. E. Cooke that evening denying some aspects of an interview attributed to him. The report arose out of a complimentary meeting at Masterton at which 1 no reporters were present. The chairman, in acknowledging the remarks, mentioned that the Richmond tour was the result of a Wellington | request for the team's visit. It was decided to send a letter of thanks to the I Wellington League. | In reply to a letter from the secretary j (Miss A. Twiname) of the Auckland Ladies' Hockey Association, inquiring as t< the possibility of a curtain-raiser game at Carlaw Park in August, it was decided te advise that the Rugby League programme was full for the rest of the season. Howover, to assist the association to send a team to the New Zealand Ladies' Hockey Association tourney at the end of August, it was decided to vote a donation of ogs. The Auckland Cricket Association grate fully acknowledged a similar donation. It was divided to draw the attention of the junior management to the request of the Pukemiro Club for a match in that district, and also to atlvise senior club* in the same direction. The City Club reported (hat when its wing three-quarter. .1. T. Hapai. had a clear run in on Saturday, he was suddenly tackled and stopped for a try by Johnstone,, of Newton, who was receiving ambulance attention on the sideline, t< which he returned after the incident. The matter was referred to the Referees' Association, although it had no bearing on the match. Reinstatement: IT. T.
