The touch judge refused to make a statement. The League authorities are inquiring into the incident.. Gardiner, interviewed, said: “The touch judge signalled a try when Ellaby crossed. I disagreed and said so. The judge said, ‘Keep your eyes open you dirty dogs.’ I lost my temper and struck him. ’ ’
The\“ Daily Mail” says Gardiner Avas disinclined to leave the -field. He and the referee went off arm in arm amid cheers.
