NEW ZEALAND TEAM DEFEATED BY SOUTH MAITLAND (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, June 13. {Received June 13, at 9.45 p.m.) The South Maitland Coalfields eleven defeated the New Zealanders at Gessnock by 1 goal to nil in a match full of interest. The teams were as follows: — New Zealand. —Zuill; Stone, Gerrard; StenhouSe, Christie, Crabbe; Ives, Blackie, Burton, Kershaw, and Groves. South Maitland. M‘Nabb; Evans, Whitelaw; Porteous, Aylor, Shakespeare; O’Neill, M‘Garvie, James, Lannard, and Kempe. James, who scored the only goal, was the o ly forward thoroughly to test Zuill. Just before the interval James sent in an oblique shot, which Zuill did not attempt to stop. A few minutes later Zuill had to dive full length to deflect tne ball out of the net. Play was open throughout, but only occasionally was either goal in danger. Ives and Zuill created a very favourable impression. Christie’s failure to move forward with the rest of the team sliced interceptions to be made and lost opportunities for the visitors, who were very unlucky not to win, as they were by far the superior team.
