Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, June 25. In the presence of 7000 spectators tho Maoris were again defeated, New South Wales winning by 14 points to 13, notwithstanding the fact that the New Zealanders played a better game than hitherto, with improved team work. The game was played on a sloppy ground, and this was expected to give the visitors an advantage, but it failed to do so. Tho strenuous attacking tactics of the local players enabled them to lead by 6 points to 3 at half-time. From the commencement of the second spell play was very forceful, neither side giving any quarter where an advantage was to he seized, but the superior combination of New South Wales enabled them to emerge victorious. For the home team Greatorex (2), Walker, and Crossman scored tries, Crossman converting one. For the Maoris Bevan, Mill, and Gemmell obtained tries, Pin© and Taiapa converting two. The final score was; New South Wales 14 points. Maoris 13 points. , RUGBY. STATE PRIMARY SCHOOLS’ MATCHES. Owing to the bad state of playing areas, there will be no matches played on Wednesday. ASSOCIATION, NEW ZEALAND DRAWS WITH N.S. WALES. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY. June 25. (Received June 25, at 8.50 p.m.) The New Zealand Association football representatives narrowly escaped defeat by New South Wales. The first spell produced no score, though the local men persistently peppered Craxton with shots from all angles. The visiting goalkeeper was compelled to concede a couple of corners, but otherwise he gave a fine display. Sherringham, who was endeavouring to emulate last Wednesday’s performance, was always troublesome. In the second half Campbell led his side in a number of dribbling invasions, in which he was ably supported by Innes and Dacre. The last-named, after an opportune dash, found the net. New Zealand 1 goal, New South Wales 0. The homo men vainly endeavoured to beat Craxton, but the goalkeeper, with Braithwaite, repeatedly repulsed the Blues. Ballard forced a corner from a long shot, but the Blues cleared thi goal. Just before time was called Lennard beat Craxton with an awkward ground shot, and the gam© ended: New Zealand 1 goal. New South Wales 1 goal. —A. and N.Z. Cable. PRIMARY SCHOOLS’ HOCKEY. The following is tho draw for the second round in boys’ primary' school hockey; Section 1; Albany A v. Cavcrsham, Normal Av.
