CITY AND SUBURBAN.

FAREWELL EFFORT.

POSITION UNCERTAIN.

ANOTHER ONE-DAY SERIES

NO MATCHES ON" ATOIL 9.

Apparently owiir.' to the belief that the Domain had been booked for April 9 for the inter-collegiate sports (which arc this year to be held at the Kemuera hockey ({round on that date), the Auckland (,'ity and Suburban ( ticket Association resolved to wind_ up its season with two one-day series. The first ot these took place last week and next Saturday Green Lane is drawn to play l'onsonby.

Owing to the altered circumstances the position may be reviewed by the association, but even if a two-dav fixture be interposed, tireen Lane must still retain the championship won last year, as the points at present are: Green Lane 34. Manukau 26, Brixton 23. K.V. 21, Ponsonbv li). Mount Roskill 13. '

Of course, two more one-day series could still be played, and it would then be possible for the championship to be affected. Or. on the other hand. Green Lane might be called upon to play The Rest. 'I his. however, is mere conjecture. Although the association has made no announcement the general belief is that the season will close as arranged with a oneday series on Saturday next, and that teams will not be called upon to ulav oil April 9.
