Dunedin, May 24. The selectors of the South Island team, which will play against North Island at Christchurch on June 3rd, met this evening for the purpose of selecting players. The names of 25 players have been provisionally selected, and will be forwarded to the New Zealand Union. The men will be called upon to sign a declaration to the effect that they have not made any agreement to go Home with the proposed professional team, and that in the event of their being picked for either inter-Island matches or for the team which will visit Australia; they will undertake not to go to England with the professional team. If any refuse to sign the agreement they will not be allowed to play in either of the matches, hence the action of the selectors in choosing so many. mmmmmmmm^ m^,. mmmmmmmmm .
