America plays some queer pranks with New Zealand news. Recently, in THE SUN, we published a photograph of a trout stream, reproduced from a New York paper, which labelled it, “A N.Z. Shark Farm,” and another of a dog drawing a milk-cart, which the American paper gravely informed its readers was a common method of delivering milk in the city of Auckland! Well here’s one better. It is reproduced from a New York paper with the heading "When Antipode Meets Antipode” and shows the final Rugby test between the Springboks and All Blacks as “A ROUGH GAME OF SOCCER!” One wonders what Americans would say if the baseball game was described as rounders.
