With the end of the first, round of the Auckland Rugby League championship in sight, several teams are chasing the leaders, Richmond, the latter s defeat last Saturday providing added incentive. Strong sides are in opposition to-day. and there is every indicaiion of spectacular football beinir' witnessed.
Mariukaii. the volatile Maori side, will make an appearance against Newton in the principal game on No. ! ground, and this contesl should feature \irile forward play and bright initiative among the backs. The Manukau forwards may have an advantage, especially in the tight, but Newton's backs can be depended on to offer stout resistance. Bright back play can be expected in the meeting of Ponsonby and City in the curtain-raiser. The result should hi n arc on the ability of the City forwards to offset Hi- cleverness of the Ponsonby backs. Richmond should win comfortably against Mount Albert in the main game on No. '2 ground while North Shore should also defeat Papaknra in the early fixture.
