INJURED FOOTBALLER. GUEST OF THE TEAM. AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE PLAYERS. [By Telegraph.—Press Association! AUCKLAND, Aug. 9. One of the most excited passengers on the Aorangi from Sydney to-day was Fred Tottey, a former New Zealandcr, who has come to join the Australian Rugby League team for England. Tottey was selected for the Kangaroos as a three-quarter and sent his wife and child to New Zealand. He then met with the misfortune to injuro an ankle in an important match, so severely that the Board of Control had to drop him out. Members of the team guarantee"}! up to £ls a man out of the money due to them at the completion of the tour for Tottey to accompany the team as their guest. His ankle is still in plaster.
