SUSPENDED The cases of Humphries, Y.M.C.A., and Cotton, Onehunga, who were ordered off the field in a senior match last Saturday week, were dealt with. After hearing evidence, it was decided to suspend Humphries until Yugust 29, and Cotton for one playing Saturday. No action was taken in regard to a linesman who was also reported by the referee. An application from the Kiwi Club to transfer S. Rowatt and W. Rodwell from second grade to third grade was granted, providing these players played only in club competitions and not in knock-out contests. The North Shore Club was granted permission to transfer H. Smith and B. Moore from senior to second grade. G. Malcolm, Y.M.C.A., was transferred from third open to third intermediate grade for club games only.
