THE ALL BLACKS.
AUSTRALIAN' AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION FORTY-NINE TO NIL. VANCOUVER. Fob. IT The New Zealand All Blacks defeated a picked Vancouver team by fortynine points to nil. Nine thousand people witnessed the match, being the largest crowd that ever attended a spoi ting event in Vancouver. The visitors showed the local men how the Rugby game should be played, running up the highest score of their tour.
The sporting experts are loud in their praises of the New Zealander’s work. A feature of the game was a try scored by Nejiia. He sneaked up quietly on the three-quarters players, and before the Vancouverites knew what was happening, he had the ball over the line.
Richardson, of course, was absent, owing to his broken leg. Porter s training accident injury is still painful enough to keep him off the field.
