LEAGUE FOOTBALL
WELSH CLUBS JOINING ? (“Sydney Sun” Service.) LONDON, December 3. . The Welsh Rugby Union clubs are likely to turn professional, and forrii a Welsh League, affiliated with the Northern Union. This will be inaugurated in the autumn, according to the '‘Daily News.” Although the names are not yet disclosed, a ground hivs already been engaged. . The New Zealand League team’s “international” match against Wales tp-morrow is expected to greatly assist the Northern Union’s propaganda for the development of League. The New Zealanders have shown such a remarkable improvement since peace was proclaimed in their camp, that they have an excellent chance of winning. The Rugby League’s hush-hush policy, regarding views expressed in official Australian and New Zealand letters concerning the two years’ qualification rule, is distinctly regrettable. Whatevei - the Dominions think, League clubs here will press for a removal of the ban. Wigan has already called a general meeting of clubs to consider the matter.
The New Zealand Lea "ue team to play against Wales on Saturday, at Pontypridd, will be: Gregory, Brown, Davidson, Desmond, Parkes, Brisbane Delgrosso, Henry, Devine, Mason, Mouat, Wright and Thomas.
