Om(t, organiser for the Northe-n League. safd that the New Zealand League was willing to assist Wellington in the matter of advice and finance. the rules of the game provide that nobody should get any compensation for playing in their leisure time, and no man drew anything for Saturday afoernoons. The men were only paid when on tour and losing wages. Any man who relied on making money enough to keep him by playing the game would be making a great nil stake. The ground bogey would be done away with for this season. .Nominations were received from tour clubs, and it was decidel to commence training immediately.
