FOOTBALL
THE COUNCIL CRITICISED
EARLY
REFEREE'S & CLASSIFICATION
[By "Rover"i
After all the nice things I had said about the composition of the Football Association Council, all of whom I know personally, I did not expect so early in the season a decided division of opinion between the Council and other enthusiasts in and outside the Coun- 'ct, whom I know to have the interests of "soccer" largely at heart also.

There is no doubt that the veriest man in the street" realises the poten- tial power of football, to augment the funds of deserving charities.

TWO LONG SHOTS
"
ODDS OF 200 TO. 1 IN THE ST. LEGER
TRIGO JOINT FAVOURITE
Two of the candidates in the St. Leger are quoted at long odds of
200 to 1.
Mr. Frank Haytor has issued the latest ante-post betting list, which has been lengthened since last week, following advice from Home, to 46.
For the last of the English flat racing season's five classics, Walter Gay appeared as favourite at fives last week, with Trigo (the 33/1 winner of the Derby at Epsom second favourite at sixes. Trigo now occupies pride of place jointly with Walter Gay, the latter having eased to 6/1.
Hotweed was fourth in the list seven days ago at eights and this. one has shortened a point to stand equally with the filly, Pennycome- quick (for which there is change),

But there must be a limit. We do not wish to go back to the old days of football management-"Go as you please." The Clubs have had their op portunity. They have elected a Coun- elt who will think all ways fairly. Of that I am certain. They will entertain British, Portuguese and Chinese ideas, also Naval and Military, all in the same spirit. They will adjudicate in all contentions' questions in the spirit Some of the other quotations of tair play. The Council is so cos- look to be very tempting. In a race mopolitan they could not do other which will be very open because wise. They cannot judge from a pre-there is no real outstanding "horse judice point of view. They must judge in the interests of football generally the Clubs and the eporting public.

Letters about a differenc of opinion have already appeared in the Press. and possibly will be answered officially by the Associaion,

The project turned down by the As- sociation is a praiseworthy effort by its promaters, but the Council must *tand on its authority, not on its "dignity" as suggested, and it must rule in accordance with the facts, it has in its possession.

This, I believe, they have done, with no wish to "foul" or favour anyone.
Your Clubs elected the Council to control football. Please don't criti- cise unfairly, if your first sugges- tion is not unanimously popular.

of the year," it cannot be said that any entrant still in training is alto- gether out of it.
Incidentally, Mr. Jinka, winner. of the 2,000 Guineas but an also Tan in the Derby, stands "ateady" at twenties.
Mr. Haytor's quotations are ap- pended. Prices subject to market fluctuations; a quarter the odds for a place; market prices for those not listed; no ways barred. The race will be run at Doncaster on Sep- tember. 11.

The Press notices of the meeting do not make it clear whether this was carried out or not. If it was it would be dealt with, with other matters of a similar nature. In any case, I am given to understand that a prior pro- posal to the one, under discussion, back-. ed by one of our honoured Vice-Pre- sidents, was definitely turned down with much regret, and on the face of this I think the Council were absolute- ly justified in the course they took, much as they may have been in sym- pathy with the objects of the proposed competition.

The charity under discussion is a good one. There is no need for its promoters to abute one lota in their energies for the same. They can go on and
run privately, but they not expect the Council to depart from their attitude of strict impartiality in all matters connected with official foot-. ball in the Colony.

Accot's "ladies" day" Was favoured with a continuance of the brilliant weather, the occasional clouds and the cooler breezes be- ing a welcome relief from the pre- vious day's blistering sun-bath. This was in sharp contrast with last year's experience,

The crowds seemed even greater than on the previous days, and it was a happy idea on the part of the management that kept the band playing on the lawn until after alx o'clock for the benefit of those who did not care to join the early rush for the trains back to town.
