TEE LEAGUE GAME
ATHLETICS NARROW WIN. Athletio had the hardest game of the season on Saturday, and just managed to secure victory over Suburbs, bo they remain unbeaten to date this season. In the opening match Athletic met Suburbs, and the latter team put up a big score in the first spell, to the nil of Athletic, and it looked as if they had an easy win ahead, but Athletio cam© with a run at the finish, and secured the game by a narrow margin. Saturday's game was very different, for both sides were even throughout, and the final scores were only 9 to 7 in Athletic's favour. Athletic took up the attack at the beginning, and shortly after play opened Bradley drop-kicked a lovely goal for the side. The score was equalled some minutes later by Marshall kicking a penalty goal for Suburbs. The play developed along Suburbs' lino, and the team were compelled to force, Athletio, however, were soon back at the attack, and from a mark almost at half-way Bradley kicked a beautiful goal. Suburbs retaliated with some fine combined play, and the full-baok, Warring, scored the first try of the game. Campbell failed with the kick. This gave Suburbs the advantage—s to 4 —but a run by Strickland and Bramley saw the latter score for Athletic. Bradley failed with tho kick, but just on half-time, from a mark by TJtiku, he drop-kicked a goal, and the spell ended: Athletic, 9; Suburbs, 5. In tie second spell play was very even, and when George kicked a goal for Suburbs the side made a vigorous attempt to get ahead. It took Athletic all their time to hold the advantage till the whistle went, with the score: Athletic, 9; Suburbs, 7. Mr. S. Bruce was referee. PETONE V. HUTT.
