THE LEAGUE CODE SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIP MOUNT ALBERT TO MEET MARIST The senior championship of the Auckland Rugby League will be continued at Carlaw Park to-morrow, when keen contests are anticipated. The championship is at a most interesting stage and the winning team may not be known at the conclusion of to-morrow's series, owing to postponed games the previous Saturday. The principal attraction to-morrow will be between Mount Albert and Marist. and a bright 'lame should result. Mount Albert will be keen to win in view of a possibility of its playing off for the championship with Manukau. The latter is at present leading by a point and should win against Newton to-morrow in the game on the No. 2 ground. This would necessitate the match between Mount Albert and City, providing the former beats Marist, being played. The points of the leading teams are as follows: —Manukau, 17; Richmond. HS; Devonport. lfi : Mount Albert. 1 City and Richmond will play the curtainraiser to the chief game, while Ponsonby and Devonport will meet in the early match on the No. 2 ground.
