NEW ZEALAND SPORTS PROTECTION LEAGUE.
It has been predicted that the greatest fighting organisation yet formed in the Dominion is the New Zealand Sports Protection League a federation of sportsmen followers and supporters of sport, the policy and magnitude of which must appeal even the dullest imagination. In the forefront of the League is a Board of Control consisting of Sir George Clifford, Hon. Dr Collins, M.L.C., Messrs H. D. Bell, K.C., C. P. Skerrett, K.C., and Mr J. H. B. Coates, gentlemen who each have made their marks in their respective callings and whose names stand for moderation and justice. It is not difficult to conceive the influence the League is going to exercise in the near futue. For years pa3t the liberal-minded section of the community have been protesting individually against the extreme aggression because they knew and felt that if allowed to continue to work in their own way without opposition the extremists would have the majority act according to their desires. The comfort is that the Sports Protection League is rapidly becoming a powerful organisation and will be able to checkmate effectively any further move of the small but misguided band of enthusiasts. A meeting to consider the matter of forming a branch of the League in Te Kuiti will be held in the Town Hall on Tuesday, 14th, at 8 p.m., when the general secretary (Mr A. A. Paape) will give an address on the aims and policy of the League.
