“LANGUAGE!”
The police will be instructed to investigate complaints of “language” being used by football players who frequent the Devonport Domain on Sundays. The subject led to a discussion by the Domain Board on Wednesday of the stopping of play on Sundays. Cr. Walsh: The boys get fresh air exercise. We do not want to chase them off the Shore. Cr. Falla: But the board controls the ground. We want to stop this sort of thing. Mr. Aldridge: This is a seaside place: we cannot be puritanical. The Auckland Football Association is to be requested to take more care of the cricket domain, which is allotted the association. It was reported that while play was suspended at most of the city grounds last weekend matches were played off at Devonport.
