CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

Tykes and Ponies Meet Again END OF LEAGUE CLUB SEASON 'TIIL classic ot the club football season -will be staged at 1 Carlaw Park tomorrow, when the Ponsonby and Marist Leaguers will meet to decide the champion of champions honours. Another bright and spectacular display G f the code can well be expected and although the Ponies will field a strengthened side, after last Saturday’s display the odds must go slightly in favour of Marist. 1 his will be the last of the club competition matches for the season.

Anu uieru is itiugii ax siaKc tomorrow. Apart from the Stormont Memorial Shield which is decided between the winners of the competition championship and the Koopc Rooster winners, the .side to clinch the honours tomorrow will be the first chosen to meet South Sydney, and consequently has an opportunity of defeating the crack League combination of Australia. Last Saturday Marist well deserved its win, but it was certainly the general impression that the Ponies did not produce all which they are usually capable of doing. Lelgrosso complained of an injury and was off form, but to tho interested fan everything did not appear to be O.K. There ■was something missing with the Ron- ; sonby side. It seemed to be somewhere in the rearguard division and no one noticed this sooner than Cardiner and some of his fellow forwards who, in order to attempt to right the balance, played like men inspired. It is thus possible, that if Ponsonby is playing its usual game tomorrow, exhibiting some of that brilliance which won for it the championship, then Marist is going to meet strong opposition and will probably go down.
