WELLINGTON.

(By "Dunno.") CORINTHIANS 4, ROVJORS 3. Joe Lewis' mob nearly met their Waterloo at ilu< Rustn Reserve on Saturday. Hovers were reoily unlucky to full to draw with the competition loadons. Rlekerby. though he leads v hittmeIp.hh Jiff In other respects, still showed that ho Is ji member of the Wandering Hand Society. His handling of the bull In the penalty area cost his Bide a goal. "Dim no" ImsUMis to congratulate Hick, nit learning ho got spliced on .Saturday. It's up to him to resign from (he above Society now. Atn afraid Roberts tCnrrlwO must now count himself amongst the basin ens. He pluvial ii rotten pnu 1 i«n Saturday, and "Dunno" wouldn't vivo v cupful of boiled »n«>w fur his i-haticu of selection m the South. m twun.

ristians pulled the fat out of the lire times without number. WANDERERS 0, SWIFTS 0. A very ordinary imitation of soccer, so "Dunno" won't waste any time and space, on it. Where did Swifts dig up the new inside right? He was only guilty of touching the ball once, or rather he was not guilty — the ball touched hiriu ' . BBROOKLYN I, PETONE 0. The only goal m this match was the result of a bit of hard luck. \ Guthrie, Petoho's goalie, chose to leave his post to clear a corner kick, and before he could get back Kelleway, for Brooklyn; dropped the ball into the net. Bad shooting cost Petone the match for .they had quite the best of things after the interval. ' HOSPITAL 2, THISTLE 0. Thistles tasted their second defeat at Porirua and pretty well suicided their chances for heading the competition this year. "Dunno" was pleased to find Bill Phillip's amongst his old team after a long retirement. He played a rattling good game, oven though "he Is a married man." Bill has now got to shout that new "lid" he bet he would not play again. Hughes scored one of Hospital's goals. Must have been training a bit to achieve this. If he hasn't, i hope he will take this tip and do a bit. Ho wants It badly. Daily played a slashing game for Hospital. Selector, Jim Paton, was out there and so Dally must be i\ moral, for a cap this year. Chief Armourer Hawkins, of H.M.S. Psyche, was again seen m tho role of referee. Both the teams and the yappers ou the line were absolutely unanimous m the opinion that Mister 'Awkins gave the most Hnlshed and capable exposition of this dlfncultl^art aeen m Wellington for years, an' years, ah' years. "Dunno" would like to see this gent, Jn charge of a Brown Shield match. : : ! It is proposed to send a Wellington Rep. team on a. Southern tour sometime m August, and the question as to what extent the players will have to share m the' burden of* expenses Is exercising the minds of quite a few. Certain people reckon it's up to the W.V.A. lo provide all the mbnlsh necessary, as they consider the W.P.A. is holding very well at the present time, und It still has two dates on which It can charge at the Basin. The team is to consist of 13 men, and they will play at Chrlstchurch, Dunedin and lnvercargill. The lowest the trip, which will last 10 days, can be done for is somewhere m the neighborhood of £110. Against this, Otago has guaranteed the sum of £30, and Canterbury and Southland, although they have not j guaranteed anything, should furnish £25 and say £10 respectively. This would leave about £55 to be found by the W.RA. The W.F.A., however, does j not look at all kindly on "purling up" this sum, and the 13 players chosen are j to be asked to cough up three ."quid" ; per man to lighten the loud. Such be- I lug the case, tjje chosen ones should J not grumble, as they are getting v j cheap holiday at that ilgurc and seeing j a bit of the country. j Munawatu may send a rep. team . down this year. The idea is to pit tho | Pulmerstonians against a First Divl- j slon team -or a Wednesday rep. U-am, ; Burly Bill Duncan, tho financial wizard I who keeps an eiiic^'eye on the inonish- j hugs of the W.P.A., has worked out ■ tin- trip to an exact kolcucc. It is «ald j that Treasurer, Bill has discovered that | if t hi* Countrymen come down by the mi In which arrives at Wellington at 12.25 p.m., the mutch can ht> commenced at «ay 2 p.m.. and the cow-chasers can -be pushed back Into the AM p.m.. puff-puff, and there you are! The protit thereof from this match should be (exceed ingly great. ! At the recent mooting of the New Zealand Council, v, letter was rend from ' the English Football ASHOClutlbn, Lon- I dop, m answer to an Inquiry, statins that m England if a player was ordered off tha Held for misconduct he was not HUitpentlod until bin cast- had been dealt with. Tho New Zealand Council m receiving "the letter, passed a ro»<>lutlon to the effect that any New Zealand player ordered off the Hold for miWonduct waa under suspension until ills cuko whm heard by the Association concerned, a proviso being made that the association conmned should hear the plnyoifs cuhc within live days after j the a|U?ged offenci*. On top of this < ruling" of the Now Zealand Council, ' "Dunno" Is Informed that a member j of thp W.R A. l» tabling :i motion that a p'«>er having been ordered on* the < Held for misconduct Ik not under mm- j pension unll! hia ou^c l» FINALLY ; DEALT WITH. "Dunno" wanta to j know the true import of "finally dealt j •with." Does it moan that If a player, .ordered off tho Held for mjßdemcvn,nor, nppi-nlx and appwilH, until hIH cn«o 1h llnally .sent over to the English mijthoritifM, hf.cnn H«!|) on playing all die time?
