STRONG LEAGUE TE_Ji CHOSEN.

It is a tribute to tlie I letorinn xooioan

League and the A'ictorian Football Asso

tion that each of these leading football

organisations has given up what is gener-

ally regarded ns.the best football day of

the year for the annual match for charity.

This will take place on the King's Birth

daj- holidaj--nest Monday-on the Carlton

ground. Football crowds are generous,'

and, given good weather, there is certain

to be a large crowd at the game between

representative teams of the League and

the Association on Mondaj-. The hospitals

should benefit considerably.

League selectors-Messrs. D. Crone. A.

Dummett, and J. Irvine-have not under-

rated _ the football ability of the strong

Association representatives, and have

selected a well balanced and strong team.

The team, in fact, providing the men

selected show- good form, is. the same as

that which will represent Aictoria against

«South Australia in Alelbourne on the fol-

lowing' Saturdaj-, June 11. A splendid

'The League representatives have not j'et

trained together, but it is expected that

they will begin to-morrow. As the Mel-

bourne ground is not yet available, the

training will be on the Albert ground, on

St. Kilda road. For the encounter against

South Australia tlie Victorians will be

training there on Tuesday and Thursday

Association Enthusiastic.

Great interest is being taken in the out-

come of the match by Association sup-

porters, and thej" ave expected to be weil

represented at Carlton on Mondavi There

is n feeling-of optimism that, from the 35

men available for selection, a good team

can be chosen, and if the weather is fine

tiley believe that the Association leam will

not be disg iced. It is generally admitted

that the team will be much stronger than

the one that was defeated in the last

The plftj'evs will train at the Brunswick

ground to-night, after which thej' will be

entertained at tea. This will be followed

by a general discussion on tactics. The

selectors will complete their task this even-

ing, and it would not be surprising if the

ST, KILDA lias had moro than its share of mis

fortune with injuriée, nui! the casualty-list ssas

increased last sveek. Arthur" Roberts, who had

ribs brokeu, svas much improved j'osterday, and

Whitehead recovered sufficiently to enable him to

resume training. Chapman (knee), «Scanlon

(ankle), L. Jones (leg), and Forbes vvill not be

available for the match against >"ortli, Mel-

bourne. La«t night a clearance was granted to

J. D. Kennedv to Mitiamo.

usual. Tlie committee has not received any

application from him for a clearance to another

club. Utting lias recovered, and will be avail-

able- next Saturday, but Collins (lee) and

Ashby (knee) will be prevented from playing be-

SOUTH MELBOURNE officials' are faced with

a problem in regard to Diggins, the champion

forsvard. He ss'ill not be eligible for inclusion

in the team until, a few days befove the vital

match with Geelong on June IS, but as he will

not have liad any match practice before then

the oftlcials are naturally hesitant about including

him in the team for such an important game.

Beard unfortunately injured his foot at work

yesterday and svill not play on Saturday. Brain

has recosered from the concussion sustained last

Saturday, but w11! probably rest on Saturday.

Robertson did not train last night, as he is rest-

ing nu injured fool. The club "last night cleared

Mcpherson back to Castlemaine.

MELBOURNE has been unfortunate with its

number of injured men. but moat of them ale

making good progress, and the tide is expected

be playing for some »time), Kinnear (sprained

ankle), anti Ogden (cuLovej^the e.ie). Tymms,

Steele, Solan. Hooper, Pemberton, Beames, Pick-

the training list, nnd his clearance iB expected

to go through to-nUilit. The club svill has'c a

theatre party at the Tivoli Theatre to-night.

day (June 6), when it will play a game against

a combined team from the Midland League in
