League, but any criticisms of it must be accompanied by sugges tions for improvement and criticisms made in ignorance of the position. One of the sugges tions thrown out was that players are under some system of slavery: That is perfect nonsense-nothing of the kind."
Sir Charles said that ilubs had to spend thousands of pounds in repairing their grounds and in get- ting their teams together, and they had to have some security at the end of the season" to keep their players, for it would be the height of folly to leave these dubs at the whim of the players. That is the only matter," he said, which can in muy degree be described as slavery, and the Football Associa- Lion are prepared to take the full responsibility of maintaining that system. Everybody is on the look- cut for a perfect transfer system, and I can tell you for one I bave not one." He had been looking for improvement in that direction for a long time. Helpful suggestions would be most welcome to the Foot- ball League.
He said without hesitation that transfers could be justiñed as a matter of principle. As he had already said, he was against trans- fer fees of such figures as £10,000, for in his opinion no player in the world was worth anything like that price. If a club is sufficient- ly foolish to give. £10,000 för a player," he said, it deserves to helet in, and I should not be sorry if it were." The objection raised to extravagant transfer fees
was
that they gave undue ad- vantage to wealthy clubs. On the surface that would seem to be some. thing of a truism, but as a matter of practice it did not work out that way. They had only to look at the positions in the League tables at the end of last season,
when they found many poor clubs naur the top and wealthy clubs in lowly positions, and the same thing appertaining this season, to see the truth of his statement.
"Objection to transfers comes from rather a peculiar source, in one respect at all events. One of the greatest critics has been the Dean of Durham. If I may be permitted to make a little com- parison, I venture to say that the practice of the Church, of which the Dean is a member, involves the same principle of transfer that we have in operation in football. And it is no detriment to the Church that it is so. We know very well that promotion, which is transfer
in another, form, comes sometimes,
The
*knock-out system was adopted in the Tournament, and Ng Tai Ping and Wong Mo Ping (Canton Ping
Pong Champion) were qualified for the final. This was very keenly contested. Ng Tai Ping showed an exceptionally brik liant defence and his accurate drives had the Catton Champion guessing. Ne beat Wong by 16-18, 107, 106 and thus gairs the title of Kwangting Provincial Ping Pong Champion.

Mr. A. Kingscott, treasurer of the Football Association, also re- ferred to the question, and said that the more they went into it the more some people would think there was something in it.
