New Sportsmen for Wellington

New Sportsmen for Wellington.

Wellington—Suprema a Situ—is to receive the benefit of its central position in New Zealand by securing the presence of a large number of young athletes who have linked up for training as policemen. From far and near they have been sent to Wellington to undergo searching training and as most of them are big, husky lads with more than average sporting records the Capital City will reap the benefit. There is already talk of a Police Sports Club being formed. In the past, New Zealand has had some wonderful athletes from among the ranks of the police. To mention but a few: Peter Munro, holder of 29 New Zealand and 5 Australian and New Zealand athletic championships; Jack M'Holm, holder of 12 New Zealand and 3 Australian and New Zealand athletic championships; E. G. Sutherland, holder of 13 New Zealand and sundry South African and Scottish athletic championships. Football, cricket, swimming, and athletic clubs in Wellington have been strengthened by the influx of the young policemen of to-morrow.
