SPORT PROTECTION ASSOCIATION FORMED.
[PRES9 AHSOfTIATION.] AUCKLAND, August 20. At the invitation of the Citizens' Loague a large meeting of representatives of various sporting associations was held last night. It was resolved to form a Mutual Sport Protection Association. Mr Hacketts. the Chairman, said the trend of recent happenings had demonstrated that organised attempts were being made to cause grievous inroads in some of our most popular sports. Racing, boxing, coursing, billiards, and others had already received unwelcome attention. In due course further branches of sport would doubtless be attacked. The committee of the League considered it was time for sportsmen to assert their xipht to conduct their own sports, and join together to successfully combat the tendency to interfere on the part of people whp did not interest themselves in the support'of any branch of sport.
