CONDUCT ON FIELD.

RECENT AUCKLAND CASES.

PUNISHMENTS CONFIRMED.

[BT TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Tuesday.

A number of cases of players who had been dealt with by tho Auckland Lootball Association for misconduct ou tho field, mainly disputing decision? of tho referees, was before the council of the New Zealand Football Association this evening for confirmation. While confirming them, the council admonished tho association for the inadequate punishment meted out to Tramway players in the recont match Tramways versus Ponsonby. Petone appealed against the decision of the Wellington Association in suspending Hanlon for the rest of tho season, for tho abuse of tha referee after tho match I'etono versus Hospital. Tho appeal was dismissed, but the appeal feo is to be returned. , Tho following penalties by the Auckland Association were confirmed: —A. Donaldson (Manurewa), suspended for one playing Saturday, for disputing tho refereo's decision after being cautioned; caution was administered to Tinkler (Tramways) for a similar offence, but without a previous caution. Tho Referees' Association is to bo notified of the omission by tho referee first to caution the player for this offence, as required by tho laws of tho game. Diamond (Tamaki) and McFadden (Swnnson), suspended for two weeks and ono week respectively, for similar conduct. The Auckland Association also asked for confirmation of the suspension of Fyfle (Tramways), who left tho field and then returned Mid abused tho referee, for which he wa3 ordered off, and was later suspended for four ilaying Saturdays. Spencer (Tramways), was cautioned for disputing tho decisions of tho referee, for which ho was ordered off. In the case of McElligott, which appeared to be a case of misunderstanding, no action was taken. While confirming the action of the Auckland Association, it was decided to write to that body, saying that the action of the Tramways Club in refusing to play the Chatham Cup tie constituted a serious menace to discipline. With regard to the recent incident 111 the Tramways versus Ponsonby match, the council says it is of the opinion that the punishmsnt awarded to Spencer and McElligott is absolutely inadequate. The South Auckland Association wrote suggesting that it should bo mado a major association, and allowed to compete for the Football Association Trophy, owing to lack of interest in the Brown Shield contest. A reply is to bo sent that this cannot bo done without a change in tho constitution. It was reported that arrangements were almost complete for the North Island v. South Island primary schoolboys* match at Wellington on August 30.
