TEST RUGBY TICKETS ON BLACK MARKET
AUCKLAND, Sept. 21. With all seating on the stands for Saturday's Australia v. New Zealand Rugby Test booked last Saturday, a few reserved tiekets are now appearing on the blackmarket — at double the original price of 10s. The Auckland Rugby Union stated today that there was no blaekmarketing. The secretary, Mr. D. B. Mulvihill, said . he went through the queue which formed for booking seats at Eden Park lash Saturn day and recognised most of those waiting as genuine JRugby enthusiasts and patrons of the game. One man who had two spare ticlcets for-sale, told a reporter today that he stood in the queue for an hour and bought four tiekets — the maximum | number allowed for one buyer — and then got a boy to buy him two more.
