RANFURLY SHIELD. AUCKLAND DEFEATS HAWKE'S BAY. By Telegraph—l'ress Association.. AUCKLAND, Saturday. The Ranfurly Shield match between the representatives of the Auckland and Hawke's Bay Unions was played here to day, and resulted in a win for Auckland by eleven points to three. The visiting team was a good combination, but the conditions were against good play, the ground and ball being very greasy, while a heavy shower of rain fell in tbe first spell. 'lhe game, apart from this, was tame, and no really, brilliant play was shown. After to-day's exhibition Auckland's chance of holding the Shield after the Wellington match seems small. Tries were scored for Auckland by Magee, Wylie and Morse, Cunningham converting one. McEwan scored - a try for Hawke's Bay.
