LEAGUE FOOTBALL
NO TEAM TO AUSTRALASIA. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright SYDNEY, February 6. The Rugby League has received confirmation of the Northern Union’s refusal to send a team to Australasia on the terms offered. The union objects to the condition permitting the free admission -of League members to matches.
A prominent leaguer declared that the union’s demand is the greatest extortion ever aimed at in the annals of sport, and that if the league conceded it, it would amount to a surrender of the principle and independence that, locally, would detrimentally affect the well-being of the game. He anticipated that negotiations would be broken off.
