SATURDAY'S SPORT

THREE FOOTBALL CODES The three football championships are maiing the deciding s-tages and the Kugby and League are in a particularly interesting position, while the Soccer table shows Thistle t'hree points clear of its livuls. At Eden Park on Saturday there should be good entertainment on Xo. 1 ground, where J'akapuna and Marist meet in the curtain-raiser to the Armv-Grammar match. There is only one point difference between five of the six teams in the first division; Otahuliii. which has not scored, will play Suburb:? on its own ground Sturgcs Park. Mannkau and Ponsonby will provide the main gaiiic at (arlaw Park and victorv for the toriner is vital to maintain its [dace in the leading four teams. Shore, which leads with Richmond, has the live while Richmond plays Marist. The principal Soccer attraction is the meeting of Ponsonby and Comrades, at Blandtord Park.
