PROTECTION OF SPORT.
o LEAGUE’S ANNUAL REPORT. Wellington, May 23. [Per Press Association.J In its annual report, the committee of the New Zealand Sports Protection League'States: The branch, was formed when a ward of sentimentalism against sport was passing over the Dominion, and.it was felt that if the friends of sport did not resist, New Zealand was going to be a pretty dull place; apd its inhabitants were going to be fairly dull dogs. Since its formation, the wave of sentimentalism had subsided. The secretary had successfully launched some seventy-five branches in New Zealand, and all the machinery for fighting the trouble is ready. The main concern in the immediate future is to have the various associations of sport affiliated to branches. One of the principal ptanJiS should be to protect people’s rights' in the way of recreation, and if its only achievement was to preserve recreation grounds and parks from the cupidity of public bodies and to assist to obtain more recreation grounds, that alone would justify its existence.
