Although I felt a little inolinod to alter the tealing af this paragraph se šovu as it was -writtou, suddenly becoming conscions of the in valuable Brooches, RINGS, CHATELAINES,
fact that it may be a little misleading I will venture to let it stand, promising that I have no intention of trespassing on the preserves of the many excellent writers whose duties are to deal with fenthalt "day by day," Certain
litle debatenble questions having recently cropped up, it may not be amiss if we quietly survey the situation with unprejudiced ininds. In the first place, I think the Lengue Commit- teamen are to be very heartily complimouted, upon the spirited way in which thay bare ud dressed themselves to the problem of disting with imported players on either side of the Tweed. The new regulation re the approach- ing of Scotch or English players, and the trans for of same, ought to work for the mutual ad- --varriago-of both.- I for one am nu-beliovor in this theory that Soollard has any monopoly of class players, and I am willing to odrait as myob with regard to England, Ireland, or Wales, Bat it is high time this posting business' wILA stopped, once and for all Big gates have been Tesponsible for the big wages.shoots, and the absurdly high figures put upon the transfers of players, because the amounts could never be. paid if the pabilo did not provide the where withal. A wage of £4 or £5 & work all the year rennd, with nearly four months' holiday thrown into the bargain, appears to my T- tutored mind princely terms, but whua it comes to bonuses for signing on, and extras for ginning, it is tife a publio protest was made. Why should any honourable employs osport additional payment for doing a thing for which ho han already boon well paid? The thing is absurd, Al the present moment football has scoured a firms and, in the main, a deserved hold upan a very large session of the British public who delight in spectacular entertainment. Brit it seems to me that the queadon mast moon ariso whether or not, the spectacles are too costly.
Thors should be rossen in all things, but whon £500 or so is needed for the transfer of a player from one club to another the bounds of that sweet reasonablences which should obtain in at walks of life are being overstapped. So much for the financial aspect. Another topie should like to touch briefly upon is the necessity for preserving a harmonious fooling between flas maangement cf the League and the clubs- forming the organisation. Candily speaking, I did not ky to see the West Broinwick Albion Club refuse to allow ous of its players to appear in an important fixture made by the Football League, and I am rather auxious to noe what will come of it. Ar. McGrogor has taken up a decided position on the question, and boldly sides with the Albion, and here I may as well say that I think he makes out. a good case in defence. Without discussing the pros, and cons, of the case. I am decidedly of opinion that a little more forethought and taut on the part of the committee would has obriated my such thing as a trial of strength between a single club and the League being rated, Suo CBS for the greater body surely cannot lie in that direction. It is pretty well known that this particular olub has had a long and arduous struggle for moro existenes, in spite of its glorious traditiong, and when it came a question of well-preservation perhaps the officials of the club could not look apa the matter quite so disinteratedly as some may think they might have done. Ree- ponsibilition art both ways, and I had rathor 260 the Lengos managers depending upon the loyalty of clubs than forcing through new lows of inpulsion. The founder of the Luagno argues rather prettily who ho onya there are thousands of people who look upon West Bromwich as a little spot in a remote pert of England, who love adhaired the plasky efforts of the Alaia year by year, and whose eyn pathisay guarrel of this kind would he sure to go with the little 'uns. Purlaps that may be no, the regrettable point is taut any pos sibility of such a thing should have arisen.
