Mr. She agreed that indirectly the sub-committee could act for the Council, but unless it came before a full meeting the matter could not be said to have been dealt with by the Council.

The question of making the drow for the Senior and Junior Shields came before the meeting, but it was decided to delegate the task to the League Management Committee.

The three professional players are scheduled to play matches in Shang- hai on November 0 and in Hongkong on November 9 and 10.
