FOOTBALL,
Monthly Meeting of Local.
Association.
The monthly meeting of the Hongkong Football Aescoiation was held yesterday evening at the R. E. Theatre Wellington Bar raoke, Mr. R. Hancock presiding over an attendance which included Mr. Frank Browne, Commander Billie Hamilton and Captain Robertson, as well as the usual representatives from the various langues.
Mr. F. W. Eager, the Eon, Beorelay, Imported that he had written to the Shanghai Asanoin tion asking for a date to be fixed for the Interport visit but up to the present no reply had been received. As far as Hongkong was concerned preliminaries were already well in hand and every one was asking when the Shang. hai team was coming down.
The President said that the Shanghai team were at present in Japan and probably that was the reason why they did not reply. The Secretary remarked that that could hardly be the reason why they had not replied to any of the four letters, which he had eent.
It was eventually agreed that a wire should be sent to the chairman of the association in Shanghai asking for a definite, reply in view of the urgency of
the matter..
The secretary reported that the Boys' Own Club had paid their affiliation fee but there had been a deal of correspondence over it "He enquired whether the meet. ing required the same to be read, but this was dispensed with.
It was also reported that the Small Ships' League had also joined the Association which meant the further addition of nine naval clubs.
To meet the expressed desire of Army and Navy Festions Com wander Baillie-Hamilton and Lieut. Jenkins were added to the referees' board to deal with matters concerning offences by Army and Navy players which came before the Board.
The formation of a Benevolent Association which
also brought up for direussion was postponed until the next meeting, Mr. Browne remarking that in view of the sympathy which was shown by employers to civilian players he did not think it was st all necessary as far as they were concerned:
