A FOOTBALL DIFFERENCE.

(To the Editor). Sir.- Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable columns to express an opinion re Ihe bombshell which was dropped by the local Siils-Union oil .Monday uipht last on the Kiwi Football flub. At the saitf meet in-; Kokalahi Club were awarded Saturday's match with Kiwis, by default, moved by .Mr Stalfoid, seconded by Mr C0111.,0n. ~on. As to "here they secured the fixture to obtain a Jorleit, the nieinl.ors id' the Kiwi football Club, are at a loss to know.

Tin* I'nioii ill it.s Inst mooting set down its fixtures, and. accordin'' to its paper report, the Senior fixture "’its slated iis '‘Senior Fixture", Mr A. Sunnier leleiee. Well. Mr r.ditor. ;is to hmv the I'nioii nliieiids made ihe ahnve read Kiwis v. Kohiitahi, ]iuz/.les me. The same thine is in the minute he ik of the Fiiioit. The Kiwi Foothall (In'.', I am aware was not officiallv notified repnrdiiio their fixture, and were absolutely unaware fit their having to fulfil any fixture with Kokata’ni. until Saturday mornino ill lU.flO o'clock. Kokatahi. mi the other hilll'-l. Imre a player. who is a mouther of the I'nioii. who informed them oiler the meet inn that the fixture for Saturday liith., was Kiwis v. Kokatahi. while the minute hook of the s.aid meeting tontained no statement of u lixttire whatever. Kiwi C lull obtained no details of the nicotine from any men he;- of the I'nioii and went hv the paler repnrt. which, as 1 have previ10'siv stated does not mention a Kiwis v. Kokatahi fixture.
