A LARGE LEAGUE FORMED. [United Press Association.] AUCKLAND. This Day. At the invitation of the Citizens' League a large meeting of the representatives of various sporting associations w.:s he. I'd last night, at- which it was resolved to form a Mutual Sports Protect ion Association.

Racing, boxing, coursing, billiards, am! others, had alreadv received unwelcome attention, and in due course further branches of sport would doubtless be attacked. The Committee considered that it was time that sportsmen should assert their right to conduct their own .-.ports ami combat interference, on the pari of p' np!e who did not interest themselves in or support any branch of sport.
