TIIE TAKANAKI CHAMPIONSHIP. WAIMATE WINS THK Si:.\ll-FINAL. WAIMATK 20, TUKAPA U.

No one, not even tin- most sanguine supporter of thi' doughty Wainiale team, could have had the remotest auticip.itiuii of the Wiiiiuali'-'i'ukajKi rout at Manilla yesterday. Several old footballers liavi' boi-n appealed to, and none cau recollect tin' final in the cup contests having been won by 20 points to nil as this game was. The win. was 100 decbav, to admit of the slightest quibble, and, i'ven hail the Tukapa team played wi'.h extraordinarily good hick, the position I could lianlly have been reversed, though I the surprising score of the Wainiate team might have been kept down. The | Tukapa team travelled by the e.sprcis train to llawora yesterday morning, thence by brake to Manaia, arriving there about 11 o'clock. Manaia was en fete. Flags were flying in all directions, and many a strange device bore testimony to the interest of the l'iaius City I in the national game. Verandah-poiis I were decorated with black and blue,] the colors of the home team, while erstwhile Kew Plymouluitcs braved the storm of criticism and floated the T.i-

kapa colors in the breeze. At 1 ."jO , o'clock, the time fixed for the commencement of the game, the shons closed, and, as heralded by sundry trumpeting:! and tunings, the Jlanaia Brass Band moved up to the Wainiate Hotel to escort the competing teams to the ground. Tukapa players kept the crowd—and the bandwaiting. The players were played to the ground, Half-back Frewin acting as drum-major, and the ball was not set in motion until fully twenty minutes after the advertised time. There was an atI tendance of about five hundred people

on the Domain ground, which was ■" excellent order, and all in favor of the visitors. It was generally expected that the match would be simply a struggle by the Tukapas to keep the game open, and equally strenuous endeavors on the part , of the home team to confine play to the forwards, for their pack was generally reputed to be a fine combination and in excellent training. Odds on the teams were even, if such a phrase can he used. Whilst the Waimate suuporters belie -/ed in the prowess of their team, they were not so sanguine as -to lead them into any rash statements or acts beforehand, and it was commonly conceded that tlia winning team would notch victory by onlv a few points. But the weight and dash of the Waimate pack, match.'J against an admittedly weak and very light forward rank from the Northern Division, upset even the wisest considera 1 1 tions." They were all-powerful. They , pushed-the little town fellows over in the scrums and beat them for the ball, descended in a solid mass among the backs, and upset the usually fine combination of Mynott and Co., and they managed, as a rule, to keep the ball at toe until they had established a good lead. Then, surprising even the Mani'a folk, the'home backs were given chances behind the trouncing forwards: they opened up the game, aiid the Tukapas were soundlv beaten, possibly became they had been so hardly worked in stemming the invading tide of forwards in the earlier stages. On the whole game 1 Waimate won easily, and, with one or two notable exceptions, they played the game cleanly and honestly, well mcritling the win. The. following teams lined out: Tukapa—Full-back, Honeylield; three-

xukapa —Fu. Honey lieiu, Jireequarters, Hooker, Hardgmvos, Stoln - ; five-eighths, Mynott; half, Frcwhi; wings, Courtnev and McLean; forwards. Jones, Ward, *l!alfe, Seamark, Walsh, Loveridgc, Johnston. Waimate— Full-hack, Kyan; llin?i|uarters, Prince, Pini, anil Metili; liveeighths, Franklin; half, Christie; wings. Mirehali and Uvan; forwards, Wilson Mnflitt, McKay," Young, Davis, llourke, and Tamu.

Tukapa won tlie toss; ami chosp to play with the sun at their hacks, which also gave tliein the advautage of a slope towards the southern goal. Waimate kicked off, and tiie forwards straightway took tli« ball U|) to the visitors' :V.>, louth-in-goal quickly resulting, llar.lprraves' kick-out sent the hall out at halfway, but the. line-out favored Wainmte, the three-quarter line indulging in a paying run which was stopped by Stolir bringing Ryan down. Frewin s'-H up an attack, but the Whites wcie powerless against the bulky Black for-, wards. Hooker eventually saving with a line kick. Tight forward play ensued, until Courtney foreed his way through, lint I'rince saved with a drop-kick to the line. A scrum saw the ball shot out to Frewin, but the Blacks were on liim in a trice. An exchange of kie':s resulted in Tukapa's favor, and they set up an attack. A fine effort was a run which started in a pass from Frewin to Mynott, whence the ball was transferred to Hooker, Hardgraves, and Stolir, the referee wrongly ruling that the last pass was thrown forward, and robbing the visitors of what looked a certain score, Stohr having only one man to pass ami plenty of room. Utohr made another attempt, but was compelled to kick. A rebound amongst the attacking forwards gave Taiuu a chance, and with a headlong rush he placed Tukapa on the defensive, Hooker kicking to the line. A short rally l>y Tukapa ended in Prinze securing ami kicking out. Christie, at half, got the ball and cut through a scrum, finding the line at Tukapa's 25. From the throw-in Wilson secured and dashed off, meeting with little opposition till Frewin stopped him and the Tukapa forwards reversed the moveinent. For a minute or so there was a series of mistakes. The Tukapas oveiran the ball, and l'ini missed it. But he recovered himself, and with Young and Christie rushed through an unprepared team, Young scoring an easy try. Franklin goaled.

The Black forwards rushedthrough and grounded the ball on the line. From a serum Christie got the ball and sent it to Franklin and Jlculi, the latter scoring. The kick at goal failed.

they attacked strongly. Reckless passing in the tliree-([uarter line spoiled an opportunity. Another chance came to Mynott, hut his attempted high kick dil not come oil', the hall going across the chalk line, where Wainiato forced. A kick hy Mynotl failed to lind the line: and Jlyan returned lo lloneyfield, w'io mulled, and Titkapa forced. 80011 aft-r resinning, I'iui had an unsuccessful sh.jt at goal from halfway, and Tukaoa forced.

Myno'.t tried cutting in and kicking high and short, but he was not supported as lie should have been. A loose rally by he Tukapas brought play right up to the goal, but McKay and Tamu turned I lie tide, l'ini following with a lovely li'te kick, llanlgraves had a long shot \t goal, but missed.

On resuming, Hooker and ileuli h:i' a. sprinting match, the hitter beiu caught ami grassed. Christie took ill bail from a ruck and passed to Frank lyn, who beat four or live of the Xu liapas, owing to their wretched dispia, ot tackling. A rough-and-tumble on th goal lino gave IJirehall a score, but ho' it was obtained could not be ascei tained, as the crowd closed round i front of the press representatives. -N goal was kicked. Xukapa tried agaii but Pini converted the defence into ai luck, play reverting to halfway. Th Whites were quite unable to keep t'l home team out, though the backs mad frijijuenl attempts to clear their ten: tory. The visiting forwards by Ihi time appeared to be thoroughly don aud Jlyuott and Frewin—and, for Ilia matter, the backs generally—had n sound butter between them and th heavy home forwards. Under these en cumstaiices the Blacks opened up th »ame more. From a scrum Chrisli passed to Franklyn, who cut in am beating a couple of men, passed to Pin who galloped in, bringing the score * 17 points, Franklyn failing to increit -. the score. From a lot of loose pla; Franklyn, Pini, and Jleuli executed i »ood passing run, the last-named scuv Fug. McKay's kick went wide. In th Eew minutes that remained Hollatt mi! rowly missed notching another thre points for Waimate. Play was in mi.i lield when the whistle sounded no-siiU Mr. A. E. Urwin acted very impartiall; »s referee. For the winners Villi was the pi'ii jf the backs, playing with great vigo uid using his pace to advantage. Eyan it-full and Christie at half were ailst ;ood on the attack, but their defensive 'owers were not severely tested, s. •omparisons can be made in such a set )f forwards tho palm should be given U jourke, McKay, Moli'alt, and Taiuu, tiiv tftcnvn "Soot showing some of hi' ild form. Tukapa's best man was My mtt, whose, heady play and resourcefulless were principally responsible tor the act that onlv in points were scored ..ainst the visitors. Frewin played olidlv, but he was smothered by t.ie .ppos'ing wings in close play, Courtney ml McLean not shining except in the nose. Stolir. Hooker, and llardgraves i-ere all safe, but they were not rammed with opportunities. The weak pot in the team was at full-back. 1»3 onvards were outclassed, but they forked bard. ..lones, Seamark, Hallo, nil "Ward were the l>est of them.

Wainiute has now to play off wit Okato, the winners in the Western Div sion. THE VETERANS' MATCH. STAR v. TUKAPA.

A large crowd assembled at the Hecreation Sports Ground yesterday afternoon to see the "Old brigade" chasing the oval, and the proceeds of the game, which totalled over £«", will prove a welcome gift to a well-known footballer whom sickness has laid aside for many months. The appearance uf the doughtv heroes of days gone by wis the signal "for mighty cheering, young- , sters picking out tlie "old men" and ' wives their beefy-looking "hubbies." The cream of the ''lms beens" ami the "used to was'' donned their war-paint and took the Held in brave style. The cynosure of all eyes was Barney O'Dowda, who, bv dint of strenuous training had lined himself down, to 17, stone. "Massa" Johnson looked trained to the hour, and his 'Taritutir' runs were tiro feature of the game. Jack Smith (in a ilar'mg red singlet) outrivalled the glare of the sun, and big Don "Watson strove hard to keep his pantry within the bounds of an ordinary jersey. "Large sizes" in jersevs were" wanted everywhere. Clem Webster donned his pre-historie panls, "Tanner" licudall's toggery were lilloi to bursting point, and the land-sharks who "bunged into it" were very far from being lisb out of water. There I was an ugly rumor -afout thai Jim I Clarke had sold the game, it being :illeged that Jim is open to sell anything, but from the strenuous way in wlneli he rushed through the paralysed atmosphere it would appear he played Hie hardest game of his life. inch put plenty of "foot" into his work, and Way was ;i long way the smartest of the Black vanguard. The presence of ilil'.v, McLean, afid "Coaly" Hoskin in the teams led to loud shouts of, "Where arc your grey hairs?" and "Garni You ain't gettin' the old-age pension!" After the. teams had been "shotted,' an extra huge plate being necessary to get "Spud" Murphy's bingey into the picture, "Uippo" Smith removed Uus false teetli and the veterans took the Held. "Spud" Murphy booted off and ."Hippo,"."Jnchy," and Jim Way, the latter running as if there were a lire in town, rushed the ball into Tukapa s !£."), "Massa" Johnson shying badly and Woods taking root in a soft puddle. "Clarkcy" secured from the eusuni,' melee, and, after a dashing spurt, so.! the ball on to Rocji-, who gathered no moss as he rolled across the line, scoring first blood. "Clarkcy" tried at goal, but the posts were in the wrong position. I'm on their mettle the Tukapa forwards hustled into things pretty considerably, Barney O'Dowda boring his way through the Star defence, ably seconded by Don. Watson and "Tanner" Hernial!, and the ball went out in the Blacks' territory, from a scrum on the line Kidland transferred to 'Woody," who sent the leather along to "Hilly," who scored in good position. Barney O'Dowda, who had now developed stringhalt, took the kick, but again the goalposts were; in the wrong place. With stores level excitement ran high, each team bullocking into the tussle with a marvellous disregard for the other fellow's feelings. The battle raged for a long time in front of the Blacks' posts, and O'Dowda made a brilliant attempt at potting, the resulting "grassy" mixing things up in great style. "Massa" Johnson secured, but fell at the first hurdle-, Webster taking up the running, but the Karawa was delayed by Murphy booting the oval in the direction of'Onchunga. The Black backs rushed in to do or die, but "Hilly" smartly intercepted, and passed to "Tinny'' Smart, who put a length of electricity into a dash which carried him over the line. O'Dowda took the shot, but failed to •strike oil." Sharpened by the sudd m turn of fortune, "Hippo," "Coaly" and "Fireman Jim" set oil' with a "death before dishonor" whirl, and play settled down to Tukapa's goal-line. Scrums followed, the weighty lllucs pushing the Blacks until they collapsed in a heap, ■f'.lark Smith standing bv in readiness to register the deaths. Bendall relicv.-i. but Jack Smith hurled piny back to Tukapa's 25, but failed to register "an increase" in the score. "Stoney" Wall marked within striking distance, but Mclean, whose best girl was allowiug him to plav in "just one match," failed with the kick, itarawa Webster mane a fast run down the held, but Sheridan, who was as solid as a rock, stopped him on the line. The ball travelled rapidly amongst the Tukapa backs, I'nrilutu Johnson nearly "getting there," i but there was no second dividend. Another attack on the opposite side saw "Tinny" ross the line, but "IIrill'o" couldn't Ibid his whistle, and a force-down restiit-d. Then Stars took a turn at attacking, and Sheridan had a (>lace-kiick J'j'ohi half-way. The colored gen'lenian mi-s----ed the ball completely and turned » "pearler," but recovering himself in true acrobatic style, got bis kick in and soon after made,'a wild rush for the line., Jack Smith's conspicuous singlet was in the van when Star forwards rallied, but Don. Watson and O'Dowda headed a counter rush, and "Bus" Slandish notched another try. "Massa" did a good gallop along the line, and half-time sounded.

It was a stirring sight, aim hostilties waged furiously.

SECOND GRADE O'BRIEN SHIELD WON BY STAIi. A SURPRISE PACKET.

The play-off for the O'Brien Shield be- • tween thu above teams was played on , the Recreation Sports C!round .yesl'ir- , day. Splendid weallier prevailed, and tile ground was hi very fair order. The Stars had the best of the game all through, and llicir victory came as a surprise tu their most ardent supporters, who looked upon a win for Tukapa as a foregone conclusion. The forwards on both sides grafted hard, but the Blacks had the upper hand in the tight play, enabling them to pen Tukapa o'j their line for the greater portion of the second spell. On the Star side McLaivn was the pick of the back division, while Lowe and Orant put in solid work. For Tukapa Stohr played a flue game, his line work being splendid; but he was too closely marked to be dangerous. Dynes and Stannering were also prominent. Mr. Ueorge (jrillitlis controlled the game. Star won the toss and played with tic sun at their backs. Stohr kicked oil', and play was taken into Stars' 2j. Frum a scrum MeOiven shot the oval out tu Stohr, who punted high. Lowe obtained a good mark and relieved from a dangerous position. Jones secured from a line-out, and broke away with the bail at his feet. -McLaren saved, but was penalised for lying on the ball. Stohr took the kick and landed a good goal. Tukapa 3, Star 0. On resuming play was held ill the Blues' 25, where Star were awarded -a free kick. Boulton made an unsuccessful attempt at goal. Line work between the 25's followed. McLaren secured from a scrum and shot the oval out to Harvey, who cut in and. licatiim several opponents, crossed Uu-. line but lost the ball, and Tukapa forced. Stars held play in the Wins 25, anil were several times dangerous, but failed to score. From a line-o.it McLaren marked, and Pearee landed tho oval across the bar with a good kick. Tukapa 3, Star 3. Half-time was called a few minutes later with play in neutral territory.

In tlii' second spell the lilaeks sent u .1 :i deadly attack, and kept the Blues pinned oil the line tor the greater part of the time. A passing rush initiated by .-UcLarcn jilaced the Blues in difliciiltv through Shields waiting for the bull'to go over the line, Stohr saving with a good kiek into touch. Time and again the Star hacks got the hall, l >ut just failed to score. Eventually, however, from a scrum McLaren secured, and, dodging round the side, touched down near the corner, l'earce took lie kick and the ball struck the post. With d few minutes to go Tukapa transferred play into Stars' 25, but only once we.e they dangerous, and time was called without further score.

CLEAN BUT VIGOROUS. BRITISH CAPTAIN OX OI!R FOOTBALL. A FAREWELL INTERVIEW. ■ Prior to the departure of the Victoria to Sydney on Monday evening last with the members of the British Rugby team on hoard, n Pressman interviewed Cuptain Harding on liis impressions of New Zealand football. Willit struck the British captain most forcibly was the perfect state of fitness of every man who took the field against the British team, in marked contrast to the condition 01 players in England and Wales. Such a thing as getting a side together for a week for speeial training, as was the ease of the New Zealand teams in the first and third test matches, was unheard of in England, no matter how important the match. To this fitness lie attributed the high standard of play in New Zealand, which was of a. considerably higher average level than obtained in England and Wales Forward play in the loose, said Captain Harding, is exceedingly good, the dribbling rushis being strong features of the best packs. The line-out work is also of a high standard. Particularly was this so at Auckland, with the tali, raking forwards. Fn scrummaging, however, the Brithh captain claimed honours for the British team, which, he said, proved superior in getting the hall to any packs met on the tour, which he attributed to the British system of (lacking three men ;'n the front row in opposition to two. Harding stated that the close work on the line-out in New Zealand spoilt the game, and was not of a sporting character.

Fn regard to tile New Zealand hacks. the most striking feature to the British captain, was the straight running. The Holding was good, and the kicking up to a fair standard, hut there was much rdbni for improvement in touch-finding, in which department the British excel. Tackling is solid and deadly throughout the whole Dominion. Captain llnrdinu was interested at the latitude allowed the wing-forward, as he was committing a grave breach of the rule in obstructing the opposing half. n,. would like to see the wing- forward play done away with in New Zealand. Passing ami general handling of the ball in New Zealand was excellent. Speaking generally, !:e found the play throughout New Zealand very clean, though vigorous, hut Ihe wing-forward tactics spoilt a lot of open play. Respecting government of I lie game. Captain Harding said the referee shouhMie the s„lc timekeeper. Referees, in giving rulings in New Zealand, give

their decisions according to the letter of the law, and not enough in the spirit of the game. With reference to the spells, Harding was of opinion that only two forty-minutes should be played, and he does not consider the practice prevailing in tin; Dominion 0 f teams leaving lite field at half-time a good one. The idea of louch judges carrying two Hags he thought a good one, and would recommend it to the authorities in England and Wales. As to the system of replacing an injured player, Captain Harding said it was quite foreign to England, although it would have been of groat benelit to the British team on the New Zealand tour, when they frji|tic.ntly played the opposition with only fourteen men, The grounds generally were good and the arrangement of matches excellent. In conclusion, he thanked the authorities and the people of New Zealand for their royal treatment on the tour, anil lor making the British team's stay a most enjoyable one wherever the team played. The treatment of the spectators was excellent; especially was this the case in the second test match at Wellington, when tlie British team was fighting hard for victory.

The methods of our represcntativ Kugby footballers have, become a piii lie "scandal (says the WellingW times). The -clement of rough playf deliberate malicious dangerous roug Jay—is entering into the game to sue n extent that there are many peopi ormorly enthusiastic supporters of tii .astimc who declare that they will nu :o to witness a football match again, i he ordinary club games private veil .ettas are frequently fought out uiuh! over of the rules of Rugby, and man; if the injuries inflicted on players ar uite deliberate and quite intentional kit when this element is introduce uto international contests the result i o create a scandal, and deep-rooted am nositics which live and grow. It i iow nu open secret that the Angle Velsh combination suffered very seri ualy from the downright malevolene if members of the teams with whoi. hey came into conflict, ft is not, t ur' disgrace, be it said, a mere ehapte • f harmless accidents which has deprh d the British combination of some q ts best men. In nearly every mat?! accidents" liave occurred which couii ilive been avoided if the local reprcseii u lives had played the ball more am he man less-that is to say, if they halaved like sportsmen instead of roughs i-ith chivalrv instead, of brutality. 'l'll tigma of this sort of tiling unfortunat, v 'permeates the whole Rugby game. 1 s unfair that it should do so, but i oes.
