ENGLAND IN SPORT.
RUGBY TEST VICTORY.
LONDON PAPER'S COMMENT
(Received Juno 23, 0.45 p.m.) LONDON, Juno 23,
The Morning Post says England has taught tho world how to play in the intervals between work, but she cannot expect to hold all the world championships and must not be disheartened if Bobby Jones, Walter Lindrum and other virtuosos win in individualistic pastimes which have become whole-time jobs.
England is more than holding her own in great team games, says the paper. Tho glorious victory for British Rugby in New Zealand is especially pleasing in view of tho f:'.r*t that Sobey is laid aside owing to his injury. Tho All Blacks were only beaten after a thrilling game by tho narrowest of margins, but it was a game which was a real test of tho virility of tho British race.
