In the undernoted championship table the Training College—New Lynn and Green Lane—Papakura fixtures arranged for yesterday are not reckoned. New Lynn arrived at Victoria Park, and not finding Training College there left the ground. Training College had assembled at the Domain, but by the time New Lynn had reached there (having ascertained a fresh draw had been made, and that they were not required to finish Saturday'*} match with Harbour Board), the majority of Training College players had gone back to Narrow Neck Military Camp. Papakura had already arranged an outside game, before having any knowledge of a special championship series for the King's Birthday. Positions of teams accordingly are : — * Ist Ins. Ch. P. W. L. W.
