Swinbourne’s appeal against Taree’s disqualification in the world championship held' at Auckland in February. Queensland and New South Wales members of the Board' of Control agreed that although the conditions of the- championship had not been carried out it was in the interests of infer-Dominion sporting harmony that tlie decision in New Zealand should remain unaltered.
