May presiding the year 1925 were as follows:- over a fair attendance, comprising Convicted by Ordinary representatives from the various clubs in the League. He was sup: ported by several members of the Commitier, and Mr. W. E. Hol- Jands (Hon. Secretary).
The CHAPMAN proposed the adoption of the annual report and statement of accounts, to which re ference has previously been made in these columnes.
In doing so he commented that since the report had been in the hands of members St. Joseph'a College had been "suspended from the League for failure to comply with certain rulings, including the non-payment of a fine for failing to complete their fixtures..
Finaces were not quite so good as they might have been. Paying out had been a little more than income, and they were not so well off as at the beginning of the season when they had a balance of $014, Las compared with a balance of $786 pow. The chief items of income had been entrance ex $540 and gate receipts from the Lenguo winners “v. Rest match amounting to $440, The principal expenditure had been. on medals, $516, and referees' fres, $148.
Mr. McTavish seconded the re- "port" and "wergants,-
Teams Which Back Out, Capt. Atsris (R. A.) made several comments on the report, and said that if clubs dropped out of the League it meant loss of games all- round. Under the Tiles any club could drop out without giving a reason. Four clubs had to with- draw last season, one from the Senior Division, entirely, and three were not able to complete their Aixture,..one from Junior A'_and. two from Junior B." The Inst thr were unable to play three games on their list.
It was a pity, he thought, that the only Navy Club in the League withdrew. In a Station like Hong Kong it was to be hoped that the Navy would do their best to keep at least one Club in the Longin.
The new rules to be submitted that evening would do much toward preventing clubs' dropping out of; the League Under this rule a club which withdrew from the League before the completion of the first half of the season, would have its
