NEARING THE END.

LEAGUE COMPETITIONS POSITIONS OF THE TEAMS. OTAHUHU LEADING TWICE. A feature of the junior grades this season is the close contests by the teams at the head of the various ladders in practically all the series. With the exception of only one grade— third grade A section—the issue is still in the balance. The class of players participating is as good as in previous years, and there are some fine juniors coming on. Papakura. who have been assisted by a former senior player in .T. Wilso« in recent matches, are the leaders in the senior B grade, and hold an advantage of two points over Point Chevalier with Green Lane running a good third. The Otahuhti teams are leading in the third and fifth grades and the third grade side is displaying very fine form. They have proved a very hard proposition and have established a lead of six points in the championship. The following is a list of the positions of the teams in the various grades up till this week-end:—■
