FOOTBALL.

THE "ALL'BLACKS." By Telegraph—Press Association. Received July 29, 11.20 a.m. BRISBANE, July 29. The Courier, commenting on Saturday's game, says: "Considering that the New Zealanders played two men short, they played a game of which they can feel justly proud." The Daily Mail says:—"Queensland is to be congratulated on their excellent fight in the second half, and had they played with similar dash in the opening stages they would have been nearer to their opponents' score at the finish. But it must be remembered that in losing two men New Zealand was greatly handicapped. They are to be complimented on the plucky finish of their thirteen men."
