TO TUB KDfTOB. Tlii _l{ seem 3 a pity “Justice to All,” as he'signs, himself, does not give- your readers more particulars will’, regard to the Seacliff C'.ub seeing he knows so much about it. i>id not the Sea-cliff Club inform the O.h’.A. that it could not come to town to play its matches morn often? 1 think it did. Writhing has been said acair.st the sportsmanship of the players themselves, hut I do not think the manner in which the Seacliff Club is recruited can be truly sportsmanlike. In tne lust two years the eff-.rt has been to get a team together that would Ik absolutely the best in Mew Zealand, and to this end players have i»ecn procured who have just arrived Imm Scotland, in some cases at the cost of a Treat deal of trouble and expense. Lout year "the idea was that all three trophies 'were to go to .Seacliff but, sad to relate, only one went that way. Everybody wants to sec his own team win the cup, but I think the authorities at Seacliff should be satisfied with an average good team. East year I had the pleasure of visiting Seaclui during one of the "Soccer” matches, and 1 must "say I was well treated and had a icalty good time. The members of the team are a, hne lot and play the game to a man, and I can assure them I am not in any way up against them, but am certainly not in favour of the way m which the strength of (lie club has been built up. “Justice to AH” asks why the residents of Seacliff are deprived of a little excitement once a week in the shape of a footbatj match. I think that is easily answered. The Seacliff delegate told the O.F.A. that ‘‘Soccer” was first introduced into Seacliff tor the benefit of the patients. The residents, therefore, have not a say in the matter. 1 may aay that i shall again support this season the team which 1 supported last year, and although perhaps it is not ouite so strong as it was. I am looking forward to its playing Seacliff, when the public will be assured ot a good cxhiLotion of ‘‘Soccer.”—l am, etc., Interested. (This corrosnondence is closed. —Ed. O D.X.]
