EIGHTEEN-FOOTER CHAMPIONSHIP
o— APPEAL DROPPED IN AUSTRALIA DISQUALIFICATION OF TAREE AT AUCKLAND (Received July 19, 7.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, July 19. It was announced at a meeting of the New South Wales 18-Footers’ League that the Australian Board of Control had decided not to continue with B. Swinbourne’s appeal against Taree’s disqualification in the world championship held at Auckland in February. The Queensland and New South Wales members of the Board of Control agreed that although the conditions of the championship had not been carried out, it was in the interests of inter-Dominion sporting harmony that a decision in New Zealand should remain unaltered. Swinbourne has protested that the board had no authority to make such a decision. He had appealed to New Zealand, not to New South Wales or Queensland. As a result of the decision Swmb.ourne has resigned from the league.
