put a proposal to the meeting to look into the books of Eastern,

Mr. Brown said the question as brought up in Eastern's reply was not raised by Kwong Wah. His request to the Association to look into the matter was that if that quest on was not raised why did Eastern answer in that manner,

The Chairman replied that un- less a prima acie case was mad ou, the Assuringon could not make investigations into the affairs of any club on any funsy suspicion alone.

Mr. Brown sa:d he brought up the question only as atter of principle. He said that early in the season there had been a great teal of unpleasantness adding that a first division club was stripped. of all its players. He felt that if one club. deliberately went to an- other and got players to handicap club the Association the other

should do something.

Mr. J. McKelvic replied that at the close of the season players were free to play for any club as they were amateurs.

Proposed by Mr. J. Skinner, and seconded by Mr. McKelvic, a solution was passed that Eastern be asked to reply direct to the point raised in Mr. Brown's letter.
