SENIOR PREMIERSHIP TO-MORROW'S ATTRACTIONS RICHMOND TO MEET MANUKAU With the premiership honours still in tho balance, keen competition can be expected to-morrow when the second round of tho Auckland Rugby League's senior championship will bo continued. Richmond, which assumed the lead last Saturday by defeating North Shore, will meet a challenge from Manukau in the principal attraction at Carlaw Park. Richmond's prospects will bo favoured by the majority of Carlaw Park patrons, but Manukau, whose form has declined in recent matches, is capable of staging a revival. Both teams are noted for their froe handling, and a fast exhibition should result. North Shore has slipped badly and will require lo go all out to hold off Ponsonby in the curtain-raiser. Marist and City should bo evenly matchod in tho principal gamo on No. 2 ground, while Newton inay find difficulty in disposing of Papakura in the early match.
