FOOTBALL.
AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION. THE FOOTBALL EMBARGO. (Received this day at 9.45 a.m.) LONDON, July IG. The “Athletic News” doubts if much success should have resulted from the Rugby League Clubs’ efforts to secure Colonial players, even if the embargo had not been reimposed, for the minimum terms demanded by the Sydneyites exceeded the maximum ideas of tiie few clubs whose financial position permitted an exchange of cablegrams. The signing on fees demanded ranged from five hundred to a thousand pounds, in addition to prohibitive playing terms and the stipulation that remunerative employment was essential apart from football; also travelling expenses out and .home. A representative oi a leading organisation here declared that the demands •were impossible and lie was glad that the embargo had been reimposed.
