Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright* LONDON, May 1. The weather at Wembley was dull and cold for the Rugby League Cup,; final, in which Wigan beat Dewsbury, by 13 points to 2, before an attend- 1 ance of 40,000 spectators. The game failed to reach the expectations of a. close, exciting contest, as Wigan, with five players recruited at considerable expense from England, Wales, New Zealand, and South Africa, had little difficulty in beating their, opponents,whose team, with one exception, were all born within a few miles of Dewsbury. Prominent in Wigan’s thirteen were Sullivan, Ring, and Bennett,; who all toured Australia and New Zealand, and two New Zealanders had a' big share in winning the game, L. Brown scoring a brilliant try, and L.Mason, the giant Maori, doing splendid vork both on attack and defence. Wigan scored two goals tries.—Australian Press AssociationUnited Service. THE!
