'NOTHING UNTOWARD'
MANAGER'S STATEMENT
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
I :,.-.. AUCKLAND, August 6. }: Any suggestion of roughness or foul play was flatly denied by Mr. W. Poppelwell, co-manager of the English League team, in an interview tonight regarding the match against South Auckland. ' ■
He said that he was very surprised to hear there had been any ill feeling in the match. He had seen the~game, and there was no untoward incident.
The statement that Brough would take his team off the field was absurd. In England both the captain and,the team would be suspended sine die if they walked off the field.
Several-players of the English team supported Mr. PoppeLwell's views. They said Brough had no intention of taking, his team off the field. He merely questioned the referee over a decision.
