Mr. Pryde said that forged tickets. constitute a serious mafter and steps should be taken to give the public a fair deal.

PUBLIC WARNED
Mr. Pryde said that the public had been warned many times through the
medium of the press, who have always: co-operated, to purchase their tickets direct, but the habit of the public of: buying their tickets from these racketeers has added greatly to the aggravation of the situation.
Greater precautions will be taken at the remaining representative games. this season.
It was also stated that half of the tickets had been taken by affiliated clubs prior to the booking being open- ed to the public, and that the remain- der were sold out shortly after book- ing was opened.
A letter was read from Area Sports Board in connection with the stands, which collapsed during the final of the "Sunday Herald" Cup game and asked for some contribution towards- the cost of rebuilding same.
It was regretted that the letter could not be entertained but one member could. suggested that some assistance

Mr. Wong Ka-tsun said that if the stands were unsafe before the match the responsibility did not fall on the Association.
