RANFURLY SHIELD
AUCKLAND DEFEATS HAWKE'S BAY.
AUCKLAND, August 13. Tho Ranfurly Shield match, between tho reps, of the Auckland and Hawke's Bay Unions, was played here to-day and resulted in a win for Auckland by 11 points to 3. The visiting team was a good combination, but the conditions wero against good play, the ground and ball being very greasy, while a- heavy shower of rain fell in the first spell. The game, apart from this, was tame, and no really brilliant play was shown. After to-day's exhibition Auckland's chance of holding the Shield after the Wellington match seems small. Tries wero scored for Auckland by Mayer, Wylie and Morse, Cunningham converting one. McEwan scored a try for Hawke's Bay.
