We have given the matter deep consideration and base our decision

on the following t

1-That article, as at present constituted, is loosely worded" and may be an interpreted as to allow the playing of casual visitors to the Colony, in which entegory we place Mr. Liu, but 2-That in the opinion of this Committee the intent of Article

is to the effect that only bona fide residents of the Colony are elegible to play and we recommend that the article be amended so to rend "in" order to avoid future mis-

understanding.

That we find the Dragons at fault in ant putting Mr. Liu's name before the Committee for his elegibility to be passed on and that the best interests of baseball in the Colony are not acived in playing casual visitors to Hong Kong in
