HONG KONG FOOTBALLATION.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING..

DECREASE IN REVENUE: ECONOMIES SUGGESTED.

The annual general meeting of the Hong Kong Football Associa- tion was held in the offices of the Association yesterday, when Mr. H. M. Dyer, C.B.E., occupied the chair. Others present included Messrs, J. Ormiston, H. MacTavish, R. K. Duncan, G. T. May, H. K. Lee, T. G. Stokes, F. Smith and W. E. Hollands (hon, secre- tary).

Considerable discussion was aroused as the result of the pro- posed change of the rulo regarding the transfer of players; the amendment was defeated but all the other proposed changes' were passed.

THE CHAIRMAN'S SPEECH.

Mr. Dyer said:-Gentlemen, The and report and balance sheet for the year ending May 31," 1930, have been in your hands for the prescribed period, so following. the usual procedure I will, with your permission, take them read.

As arranged by the counsel, we hawever have received the special report on the finance of the asso- ciation from our treasurers, Messrs. Percy Smith, Seth & Fleming, to which I will refer in a summarized form.

At the 1st June, 1929, the halance at the credit of the association's account amounted to $9,508.14. Subsequently the balances on the interport account of $6,750.84, and the Hong Kong Football League account of $3,125.70 were trans- ferred to the association account making in all an opening balanco at credit of the association of $19,393.48.

During the year under review the excess of expenditure over revenue amounted to $7,32119 made up as follows:-

Interport Here This Year. In the current year, the interport games, being held in Hong Kong, should result in increased revenue; a decrease in the expenditure can be expected as no passages have to be met, so that at the end of the 1930/31 season the Interport ac count should show a substantial balance at its .credit. We have estimated the surplus at $2,000, and taken this amount into estimated revenue for 1030/31.

The total decrease in revenue in 1029/30 as compared with 1028/20 was $10,079.47.

CHINESE CLERK SHADOWS

A THIEF.

Wong Kan Cheung, a clerk living at 53, Leighton Hill Road, wak congratulated by Mr. R. E. Lind he displayed in causing the arrest sell yesterday on the public spirit of a thief.

From the evidence given, it would appear that a Chinese, carrying d. auspicious-looking pargel, passed Wong's doorway on Sunday! Observing the man's furtive looks, Wong thought it worth his while to follow the man.

Probably aware that he was being shadowed, the man discarded his parcel on to a clump of bushes and hurried on, but Wong hadhimi arrested and on retreiving the parcel found, that it contained pair of trousers.

The arrested man was sentenced to six weeks imprisonment, his re cord showing for previous convic tions.
