An amazing story of the career of Henry Anderson Conroy Irving Eustace, aged 22, who was charged with attempting to obtain nearly £7,000 from Mrs. M. B. Stirling, a widow, of Doncaster, was told at the Old Balley recently.

The prosecution alleged that Eustace, posing as a wealthy Mrs. Luard Thanked.

Grounds.

With regard to the Management Committee's comments on grounds, as a referee, Capt. Austin suid he would also like to draw the atten- tion of Clubs to such matters as goal-nets, corner flags, flags to de- note the halfway line, etc.

Capt. Austin mentioned that at one time during the past season the ground of Club'de Recreio FC. was allowed to get into a very had state and was quite unfit for League matches. He-nine mention. ed the grounds on Happy Valley Racecourse, as being very trying to referees. lie particularly asked Clubs to comply with the rule re- garding the provision of an efficient linesman.

Fixtures,

With regard to the League Fix Lures, Capt. Austin stated that no less than 17 matches were unplay ed, and in respect of these, 34 points had been awarded 10 opponents. He mentioned the pos- sibility of Clubs, perhaps, winning a trophy on such "eumshaw” points. Many fixtures were not played on the datos fixed at the beylning of the season.
