SWIMMING TROPHY.
WANTED BY WINNERS. Per Press Association, AUCKLAND, Sept. 21. Although Auckland won the Yaldhurst swimming shield in the national championships last season, the trophy has not come north yet. ■No one knows where the shield has gone. Tho championships were held in AVeliington, and the la%t heard of the shield was that it was on exhibition in a shop window. Inquiries by the Auckland Swimming Centre have brought no information from the New Zealand Swimming Council, the Canterbury Centre (which previously held the shield) or the Wellington Centre. Apart from the value of the shield, Auckland may have merely a name to defend in the approaching dominion contests in Grey mouth. The Northerners are wondering from whom they should next inquire. . . The tardiness of -some provincial sports controlling bodies in yielding trophies to the winners can be amazing It was manv months, for instance, before . the Auckland Cricket Association received the Plunket Shield, won in 1927 from AVeliington. Several requests had to be made before the shield was forwarded.
