Bergeant Angus the newly- appointed secretary of the Police club, the omission arose explained that through the change of secretaries, he not baving been informed of the fixture in time. His team regretted the incident. It was decided to allow the match to be refixed, and notice was taken of the sporting action of the R.A. in not claim- ing the points,

Two complaints were received from referees as to teams having arrived too late on the bold to allow of a kick-off being made at proper time. Long dis cussion ensued as to the bast way to put a stop to this practice of old standing, and finally it was resolved that Mr. Eager should instruct all referees to report to League Secretaries in all cases of late starts, the actual time of kicking- off, the number of players of either side at the advertised time for commencing. and the cause of the delay, if known. It was also agreed that each club should be informed as to this, and that the Manage ment Committee had power by the rules to deduct points if engagements were. not properly kept.

A vacancy, on the Emergency Committee. was filled by the election of Chief Writer E. E. Smith, of the Tamar.

It was reported that the Lyemun ground was now ready for the playing of league matches

The Committee appointed Sergeant A. A. Wilson to represent the League at the coming conference with delegates of the HK.F.A, H.K.F League, and H.K.F. Club, to arrange preliminary details for the proved inter-port.match with Shanghai A

The usual exhibition match, Army z. Navy," was discussed, and decided upon. It is hoped to play this, as hitherto, on Boxing Day.

Long argument ensued on a letter from the Submarines as to the elimination of senior players from first Division matches Several attempts bad already been made to grapple with an awkward question which vitally affected the successful work ing of the League, but now it was unanimously decided that the secretaries of the four senior clubs concerned should forward to the League Hon. Secretary by 9.25 pm on Saturday next, a list of the players of their clubs who are recognised senior players, and that these men should be ineligible to play in the Second Division except with the special permis- sion of the Committee, previously. oblained.
