In connection with the game on Saturday it is timely to say a few words with regard to the police. Never was there greater inefficiency displayed by any body of men detailed and exhorbitantly paid for light duty. All that was required of them was to keep the grounds ciear of non-paying spectators and to see that the audience did not encroach upon the limits of the playing field. What did they do ? Several of them stood aimlessly about at one side of the field and allowed the crowd to jump over the ropes and towards the last of the match even stand within the fair lines so that several times they interfered with players running for fair balls. When appealed to to keep the people back they did so in such a listless, dont-care manner that the crowd paid scarcely any heed to them and did about as it pleased. The treasurer of the foot ball association ought to see that the police do their duty if they are to be paid for services as such and not as mere spectators of the games.
