FOOTBALL.
TOUR OF THE "PRO-BLACKS." MATCH AGAINST SALFORD. BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. Received February 5, 10.45 p.m. LONDON, February 5. The New Zealanders, says the "Sportsmen," seem to put forth their best efforts against the strongest opponents. In meeting Salford they were thought to have an exceedingly difficult task, but playing thoroughly good football, they won by the convincing margin of three tries to a goal. Playing with the wind in their favour the colonials soon became aggressive, and after Messenger had failed to land a goal from a mark, K. Wynyard crossed the Home line after a fine run by Rowe. The hard ground was evidently to the liking of the All-Blacks, and they maintained a marked superiority. Before the interval Messenger put on a second try. After changing ends Salford were conspicuous, but the only real advantage gained was a goal kicked by Lomas from near the half-way line. The New Zealander3, however, more than held.their own, and before the close added a third try through Wrigley.
