"GRAB, GRAB, GRAB!"
LEAGUE FOOTBALL MATTERS. Auckland, September 22. In the course of an explanation of the recent friction with the New Zealand League, and of the criticisms which have appeared. Mr. Miller, on behalf of himself and his co-manager (Mr. Blue) said that the statement inferring failure on the part of the New South Wales team to adhere to the financial agreement concerning the tour was absolutely contrary to fact.
After referring to the attitude regarding.money matters of the New Zealand team in Australia, Mr, Miller said, "It appears to 'be a case of grab, grab, grab with the New Zealand Council, and I hope in the interests of and for the good of the game that it will not continue. The other centres of the Dominion do not appear to be satisfied with the way in which' matters are being carried on at the headquarters of the League."
Mr. Miller said he did not make the statements with any feeling of antagonism, but simply to clear up any misapprehensions with regard to the conduct of the tour so far as their league was conceded.
