REMUERA SPORTS GROUND.

I notice in your issue of the 27th that » member of the_ Newmarket Borough Couttal' stated at jta last meeting that the Auckland _. _ 6irls' Athletic Association had practically *. killed hockey in Auckland by fairing away- ~" "~$ the Remuera sports ground. Now, although .-i the Girls' Association was partly to blam«. it niust not be charged with the whole'responsibility. The deadly blow was administered by the Dilworth Trust Board.. I do not doubt v- - that tne Hockey Association was behind tha legal action taken,, and now that it Bai ;.;_Z succeeded in having the grounds kept for game? 1. -I for fifty years it is rewarded by having " * - another so-called, sports body take' it. ThS > x: Dilworth Trust Board .'gave as ' one of * its ,£%■ reasons for turning, out the Hockey Association that the ground should be in the hands of .a ?. body financially strong enough to make the fullest use of it. On its own admission the Girls* Association is financially the wfea&est amateur sporting association in Auckland,, and. ." •. many are predicting that it will cry "Enough" after?one season. The point is that it should .: paddle its own canoe and not ask the public to P a .V- STICK AND BALL.
