Ex-Soccer Pro.

Only ex-professional players on the Football League referees' list are George Jones, a Nottingham Forest half back just after the war..and Albert Rawson, former Sheffield United and Barn- for nine sley centre forward, who has been acting on the line years, but still has to be given charge of his League match.

Bolton Wanderers have suffered relegation, from the First to the Second Division more times than any other club, They have descended five times, and they are going the right way to make it six this year.

Unbeaten at Goodison Park this season, Everton are enjoying for exactly a their longest run of immunity from home defeat quarter of a century. In season 1911-12 they went to April 13.

The dismissal by the Executive Council of the Mamak Hockey Tournament of the protest lodged by the Central British Association concerning the ineligibility of a player included in the Radio Sports Club team in 'the deciding championship match last Thursday gives rise to much comment. a few seasons ago when players in the Mamak Hockey Tournament were registered. This season they' are not registered.

greatest latitude. It does not dis- pose of the protest in the strictest legal sense.

How does the present issue differ from this?

The match played last Thursday was won by the Radio by three goals to nll. They included in their team Channan Singh ap-

parently with the full knowledge that he had" played previously for another Club in the same Tourna- ment. But they did it uninten- tionally.

MACAO RACE MEETING

Draft Programme For May 9

May

The programme of the race meeting of the Macao Jockey Club to be held Areia Preta, Macao, on Sunday, 9th. May, at 2 p.m.. is as follows:-

Machine Gun Troop. Race (Un- official) Winner $75. Second $40. Third $25. Fur China Ponies, bona fide Troop Ponies to be approved by the O/C Machine Gun Troop. Catchwelght 175 lb. Entrance $3. Seven Furlongs.

stands to reason that such a step should never have been taken.

HE DID PLAY

The crux of the issue is the fact that Channan Singh did play for another team, and irrespective of registration, the Radio Sports Club, in my opinion (which is shared by many), should not have played this

man.

The decision of the Executive Council in dismissing the protest lodged by the Central British Asso- ciation is indeed amazing. What does the decision come to? It can mean this, and only this, that a player will be able to play for any two teams in a hockey tournament provided the team that fielded him did it without intention and with. assurance to that particular player that "there was nothing at stake."

It is of Interest to note that rule 29 of the Mamak Tournament states that a player may not play for more than one club in one sea- son without the permission of the Executive Committee and the clubs concerned.
