THE ‘SPORTS SPECIAL’
FIRST ISSUE SATURDAY NEXT BIG SEASON AHEAD The popular sporting journal, ‘ Sports Special,’ issued as an affiliation of the ‘ Evening Star,’ will commence publication on Saturday next, April 17, with the opening of what promises to be the most important football season in New Zealand history, and, by reason of our tenure of the Ranfurly Shield, in Otago history, too. The visit of the formidable South African Rugby side, the battle for the shield, the Dominion tour of the finest Soccer team ever to leave England’s shores, and the fortunes of the New Zealand cricket team in England will be the highlights of the year, and the arrangements already made assure to ‘ Sports Special ’ readers exclusive and interesting stories of these campaigns. Other exclusive features will be announced in due course, and it can be said without challenging contradiction that the general sporting news services tapped by the ‘ Sports Special ’ will be even more complete than in previous years, while illustrations will be a cardinal feature.
The ‘ Sports Special ’ will be published throughout the season as close to 7 p.m, on Saturdays as is practicable.
