APPEARANCES ON TOUR
Tliree of the British players on Saturday—H. M. Bowcott, C. D. Aarvold, and Q. E. Beamish—played their fifteenth niatoh of the tour, a record which indicates the value of these throo players to the side, considering that twenty matches have been played. They are closely followed by several others, but quite, a number of the tourists have made comparatively few appearances in matches on the tour. The record of appearances is as follows:—H. M. Bowcott 15, G. D. Aarvold 15, G. K. Beamish 15, A. L. Novis 14, D. Parker 14, B. H. Black 14, Ivor Jones 14, J. A. Bassett 13, H. OH. O'Neill 13, J. L. Farrell 13, J. S. B. Eoeve 12, K. S. Spong 12, J. C. Morloy 12, H. Row 11, W. B. Welsh 11, P. F. Murray 10, H. Poole 10, D. A. Kcndrcw 10, J. MD. Hodgson ■ 10, T. C. Knowles 9, a. A. Martindalo 8, P. D. Prentice 8, H. Wilkinson 8, T. $. Jones-Davies 7, M. J. Dunne 6, H. C. S. Jones 6, B. Jennings 5, G. M. Bonner 4, and W. H. Soboy 1. Several of the players, of course, would liavo made
more appearances but for meeting with injuries. Tho player most affected is Sobey, who was injured in the first game of the tour and has not played since. It has been a great disappointment to followers of tho game in New Zealand to miss seeing the Sobey-Spoug combination in action, and tho two players themselves no doubt regret being unablo to operate together on New Zealand fields of play. Appearances in the scries of Tests havo been as follows: —For Great Britain: J. A. Bassett 4, H. M. Bowcott 4, C. D. Aarvold 4, K. S. Spong 4, H. R6W 4, D. Parker 4, H. OH. O'Neill 4, B. H.
