KING'S DOUBTFUL TRY
(Received August 7, 1 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Commenting on yesterday's match the "Sydney Morning Herald " says: "Tho visitors have some very good reinforcements. Oliver mado some fine 5.010 dashes, and Lilburne is still a heady and solid five-eighth. Though Corner is not a Kilby, he sent the ball out sharply. Smith is fast and very clever in his work of cover defensive. The newcomers in the forwards, Barry, King, and Leeson, all did woll." The "Daily Telegraph" says that New Zealand went very close to increasing its tally on a number of occasions, but the ledger of missed chances just about balanced up, as New South Wales let just as many opportunities slip byThere was an element of doubt about King's try. Beforo King crossed there did not appear to botany doubt that there had been a knock-on infringement. The "Labour Daily" says: "King's obvious knock-on escaped the notice of the referee. The display of yesterday's All Black side fell' sh'oi-t of thefifteen which defeated New South Wales on Saturday, Kilby, Pago, Caughey, Max, Knight, and Manchester particularly being missed."
