(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) BRISBANE. The New South Wales Rugby league team was too strong and too fast fot Queensland in their return match on Saturday. New South Wales won, 30-2, at Lang Park after being held to a 12-3 victory on the same ground on Wednesday night. The match ended in a near riot, the referee (Mr K. Holman) being escorted off the field by police under a barrage of beer cans and bottles from Brawls broke out on the ground as part of the irate crowd chanted: “We want Holman.” Mr Holman had sent off four players three from Queensland and one from New South Wales.
