Association will not mis- tha understand me when I Bay 1 Link they will be wise to amend the pre- sent ruling. The practice followed by sister sports Associations in Hong- kong is that where a player is a member of a club allated to the Association, that player automatically becomes a a member of the Associa- tion, with all the privileges the As- sociation offers. This appears to be reasonable, and it is a system which 1 am sure would prove popular so. far as it affects billiards players and the Billards Amociation in Hong- kong. Clubs amilated to the H.K.B.A., pay a subscription of $10 yearly, and members of those clubs naturally feel they are being a wee bit exploited if they have la pay W. Kershaw and J. R. Leitch v. A.

The position would be bet- ter met if the rule laid down that (all members of clubs affiliated to the H.K.B.A., were automatically mem- 'bers of the Association, but that any- body who was not a member of un afllinted club, could become an in- dividual member of the Association by payment of stated subscription. This would enable the Association to impose a flat rate entrance fee for their tournaments, thereby getting rid of any heart-burning which the present methods might engender,
