THE LOCAL F. A,
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
REPORTED.
The annual report of the Hong- kong Football Association states:
The year under review has been
at Nanking in which, two sampansquito a successful one, due in a large Hank on June 19, though exag measure to the loyal co-operation of gerated reports are printed in the officials of all clubs. Chinese papers that a Japanese: steamer sank sampans at Nanking, thereby causing the death of Aeveral noted Chinese, the real state of affairs is as follows, ac cording to the chief mate of the N. K. K. steamer Nan Yang Maru:-
The Council met on ten occasions daring the year to transact tho general business of the Association, which included the arrangements for the Interport games with Shanghai.
The
Emergency Committes met on seven occasions to deal with eleven cases of misconduct by players. One wus cautioned, seven were suspended for various terms, and two were fined. Although the cases of misconduct on. the field were considerably less last year than the two. previous years, than considerably moro abeuld be in such they are
Binal area. The Referees Committee met on three occasions during the year.
In the early part of the season there
"The Nan Yang Maru touched at Nanking on June 19 on her way downstream, and halted near the N. K. K. hulk in order to come alongside, when we were informed that the hulk was hot in readincas to receive our steamer. In view of the water at that point being 25 fathoms deep and a strong easter-was again" shortage of referees, ly wind then blowing, we began but matters adjusted themselves bo
fore the season was half over. to move our ship slowly towards the upper part of the river.
"Just then, one of the sampans which had gathered along the star- board of our steamer left its side, was carried away towards the crowded
and lay Pampuna alantwise to our ship.
"Seeing the danger, we imms- diately stopped our engines, but unfortunately two sampans cap- sized. There were two persons in one of them, and seven or eight on the other. Two coolies belong ing to our ship were saved and carried on board our steamer.
"Our steamer lost no time and threw down life buoys, while sam- fans which happened to be near by, a Customs launch, and a launch belonging to the Japanese destroyer Isokuze Furriedly proceeded to their
rescue.
"An official of the Japanese Con- sulate, who witnessed the accident from the N. K. K: hulk, Mr. Tabu, the Commissioner of the Custom, and the Captain of the Isokazo's Jaunch, both of whom engaged in the rescue work, declared that all those who fell overboard from the samjians were saved.
"But, as some said it appeared that one had been drowned, our steamer set back to the hulk, and stood there for over two hours. As no one was found, we began to weigh anchor, entrusting the matter to the bulk master. Chinese ship examiners who happened to be on the hulk told us to wait until they received instructions from their headquarters.
"At about half pust two a Chin. ese officer informed us that, as the matter was not clear, our ship might leave the port, adding that the negotintions on the matter would be conducted afterwards.
"Our steamer left Nanking at 3.16 the same afternoon. One of the two sampans which overturned Was towed to the shore by a Cps- toms launch, while the other was towed to the shore by the Isokaze's launch."
