N.Z. LEAGUE TEAM.
ONLY THIRD RATE. IMPROVEMENT NOT MAINTAINED. (Sydney Sun Cable.) (Received Oct. 11, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 10. The Daily News says the New Zealand League team is distinctly thirdrate. They did not maintain the improvement shown in the tost match. Their failure in the scrums was nothing compared to weakness at the base of the scrummage. Cole and Webb were negligible in defence and ineffective in attack: During Davidson’s half-hour’s absence owing to a dislocated thumb, Warrington scored 11 points. Even after Davidson returned, and was playing on the xving, Warrington was supreme. Despite his injury, Davidson was New Zealand's best player after Gregory. Gardiner's prowess was over-rated.
