PROMOTER'S FIRM STATEMENT

AN EPIDEMIC OF LIVER DISORDER
By Dr. Quignon of the Faculty of Medicine. Paris
Just now i am kept very busy by
an epidemic of "liver" disorders- great many people feeling "out of sorts," blilous, depressed and unable to enjoy their food. Undoubtedly the best remedy for an upset liver is provided by certain famous Con- Unental Mineral Springs, but sçlenço has now made it possible for all liver sufferers to enjoy, in their hames all the benefits of Continental Spa treatment, at little cost. By re producing in crystalline form the essential principles of seven world renowned Spas, including those at Vichy, Carlsbad, Aix-les-Iining and Marienbad, Alkin Saltrates' provides what is probably the finest liver tonle and corrective known.

WILL BE TROUBLE
Another promoter told me: "The board may introduce this tax, but when they try to collect it there will be trouble. I should counter it by drawing up my fight contracts on forms of my own instead of on Board of Control forms, Whut right would the board then have to interfere with
and others?
There is no other sport in which such a levy is made, and in my Judg ment boxing, of all pastimes, is least ¦ able to afford one. Every person holding a board licence already con- tributes membership fees.
BRAKE ON ENTERPRISE.
It is unfortunate that the board has a bunk overdraft of £2,000, but whether the position would be im- proved by a tax on tournaments is questionable. My own view is thot it would act as a brake on enter- prise.
There is also grave danger that the imposition of such a tox will lead to revolt. The Board has had a stormy existence since its formation in 1926. Not so long ago it was on the brink
another such crisis.

is not, es Mr. George Shee im plied on Monday, a question of the Management Committee or anybody- eise connected with football prefer ring to limit the number of teams in a division, as it is bowing to in- evitable circumstances which demand special treatment.
CANNOT IGNORE OBVIOUS All are generally agreed that it is unfortunate a club should be denied admission to the first division. But If one cannot ignore the obvious. teams are to remain unlimited in the first division then there must be some curtailment of the exceedingly heavy programme of
of lengue, eup. Shield and Interport matches which hitherto has kept the football season going from the end of September to the middle of May (and longer if all matches had been played).
It becomes опе or the other. Either reduce compétitions or reduce your competitors. Unfortun ate, but unavoidable.
With this firmly fixed in one's mind, it is possible to avoid useless sido-issues and to concede one's personal feelings for those which will effect the most good on behalf of football in Hongkong.
It is to be sincerely hoped that the Management Committee will not take Monday's vote of caution, too much to heart, but will steadfastly continue 10 explore and bring into operation all means of putting the Colony's competitive football on a basis which will beneat the game.
It on top of this the board took a cut of 5 per cent., then there may be promoters who will decide that the game is not worth the candle. Few promoters are making a real success of boxing these days.
