Squabbling for the Spoils. Sydney, Tuesday. R. Jack, who conducted the early negotiations for the visit of the Maori team with Asher, has brought an equity suit against the latter and the members of the team claiming commission on the takings. After Jack initiated negotiations the matter was taken over by the New South Wales League. Plaintiff claims that he agreed with Asher to take five per cent of the team’s gate money and divide the commission with Asher for the latter’s part in completing the arrangements. Asher, in a letter, alleges that he offered Jack 2 per cent of the team’s share of the first gate and never agreed to pay commission. Defendant was allowed 20 days to enter an appearance to the suit. The following will represent Albion Juniors against Awahou on Saturday : —E. J. Walker, Rimmer, Robin, Gibbous, Furrie, Cook, Cummerfield, Mansell Withers, Rimmer, Rauhihi, Bowe, Webb, and Martin; emergencies : J. Walden, Evans, and G. and R. Walker.
