"THE CLOVEN HOOF."
. j. SPORTS PROTECTION LEAGUE CRITICISED. (By Telegraph.—PreS3 Association.) Duncdin, March M. In tho course of her presidential address at (he W.C.'J'.U. Convention- this morning, Mrs. Cole, of Christchurch, made special reference to the leading questions of the time. They had, she said, to recognise that tho present political position made it almost impossible for them to expect much attention to be paid to their demands, or that provision would be made for suggested reforms. The Sports Protection League's ideals wero _ subjected to somo very caustic criticism. It hid, under a harmless pseudonym, its real intentions. . Tho league claimed . that it existed for tho protection of sport, but, in spite of all protestations, tho cloven hoof appeared, and the remarks of a member of tho Christchurch League confirmed tho union's belief that tho league was organised for a definite political purpose, viz., tho support of tho totalisator. The league should be called the Totalisator Protection League. The address, which was of n most comprchensivo nature, was exceedingly well received.
