SPORT IN AUCKLAND. Press Association. AUCKLAND, Oct. 13. The unfavorable weather in Auckland for weeks past has prevented much cricket being indulged in, and has delayed the preparation of the grounds. Provided next week is fine, however, the season will probably start next Saturday. The delay of the Now Zealand Hockey Association in alloting the Provincial Shield in unfavorably commented upon. Auckland naturally claims that its representatives having received the greatest number of provincial wins is entitled to the shield. > ■ The Management Committee of the Auckland Rugby Union, after a lengthy and exhaustive investigation, have exonerated the Auckland representative football team which toured the South from the charges of rough play levelled against the men in two out of eight matches played. From the evidence adduced and tho reports received as handed to the press, says the “Herald’s” football reporter, tho committee could not come to any other conclusion than they did—that the charges of rough play made against tho Auckland team' are for the greater part unwarranted. The evidence adduced, including the reports of the several referees, points to the fact that tho Auckland team relied almost entirely on its fast and weighty forwards, their play being hard, and against lighter opponents, possibly conveyed tho impression that such play was rough. The committee is further of opinion that in the Canterbury and Otago matches tin each case an Aucklander was ordered off the field) inasmuch as the reports of the respective referees stated that they had occasion to caution both sets of forwards, tho comments of tho Canterbury papers were uncalled for and unfair.” Tho allegations were first made presumably on the strength of a man being ordered off tho field in tho Otago match not for rough play, but, according to the roferee, for illegally charging an opponent after ho had parted with the ball. This is a fine distinction, of course. When the allegation of rough play against tho Aucklanders was made it had to be backed up, and'the hard gamo played by our forwards was consequently made tlio most or Auckland has developed the forwarc •ramc to such an extent for sonic sea sons back that- we have attainec great reputation for this class of play but, unfortunately, our back gam has been neglected. In the .South however, the back play lias been dc veloped and Aucklanders know tliit Consequently our heavy, fast vail guard took the games in tho bout fnt"o their hands, and when the; bumped into lighter men tho latte had to give way, and when tlies light men found tho earth the crow started tho cry of “rough play,” an all followers of the game know win a football crowd is when once startel In tho case of Canterbury the cron apparently looked for trouble fro the beginning, and with such an o ject- in view seized on tho least o portunity In fact, their condu was such'that the Christchurch p pers even had to say something abo the unsportsmanlike behaviour of section of the crowd, and let us ho the ill-feeling was kept among tli section, and that it was an incons: erable one. Tho decision of t Auckland Management Coihmittee a welcome one, and I hope the nee sity will never arise to hold a fi ther investigation into the sa question. The Star writer says i inquirv of tho A.R.U. Mnnagemi Committee into the charges of rot

play levelled against the Auckland representatives has resulted m tho disqualification of AVilliams for a year. Taken on tho wholo, tho reports of the referoos, other than Messrs Evans and Macdonald, were very satisfactory, and indicate that in some games at least our men played a clean and fair game.
