UNDER LEAGUE RULES.

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE. The Management Committee of the Auckland Rugby League met last evening. Mr. J. Carlaw presiding. The Richmond Club wrote protesting against the match played between '■•J®; club's senior team and Marist Brothers Old Boys, being awarded to the latter, on the ground that Marist Old Boys played a. man who had been disqualified. Consideration of the matter was deferred until next week in order that the Marist Brothers Old Boys' Club might bo represented at the hearinir of the case. . The question of dividing any money collected at the gates at matches played .at North Shoro was discussed, a proposal being put forward that such moneys be divided among the teams engaged. An amendment that all collections be the property of the League was carried, the chairman stating that if the original proposition was given effect to it would mean that the teams accepting the money would become professionals.
