THE "MARK"
UNIFORMITY DESIRABLE
"Could not the referees attempt to get uniformity in regard to the giving of 'marks' (fair catches)?" asked Major T. J. King at Tuesday night's meeting of tho Wellington Unions-management committee. "It -is now a positive danger. One gives a mark and another disallows it. If they could only havo a practice it would clear the air." The chairman (Mr. J. Prendeville): There is certainly a difference of opinion. Mr. D. Calcinai (representative on the committee of tho Wellington Referees' Association): A mark is giveu if the referee sees it, if the player is standing stationary, and if he makes a heel mark as he catches the ball. Other members of tho committee gave instances of players claiming apparently fair "marks" in the course of recent club matches, when out in the open, without having them awarded. Other players were given tho verdict in very doubtful cases. It was decided to ask the Keferees' Association to endeavour to secure uniform rulings.
