In the unavoidable absence of Mr. S. V. Gittins, the chair at yesterday's meeting, held at the Victoria Recrea tion Club, was taken by Mr. A. Barrette, Hon. Secretary of the Vic- toria Recreation Club, original spon- sors of the League, while others present were Mr. M. M. de V. Soares (V.R.C.), Mr. H. Winglee

(South China A.A), Mr. S. T. Cheung (Chl- nese Bathing Club), Mr. S. F. Hon (Chung Shing Benevolent Society), Mr. Y. S. Lam (Hongkong Univer- sity) and Mr. R. Goldman (European Y.M.C.A.).

It was decided that Clubs wishing to participate in the League, but who were without playing pitches of their own, be admitted. This ques- tion was raised by Mr. M. M. de V. Soares, and Mr. H. Winglee sald South Chinn Athletic Association were willing to loan their pitch to the University, who were without a pool or plich.

The Clubs were unanimous in their decision that a Committee of Ave, including a Chairman and a com- should bloed Secretary-Treasurer, control the League, and the follow- ing were elected to stand for the first scason: Chairman, Mr. S. V. Gitting (V.R.C.): Hon. Secretary-Treasurer, V.M. (European Mr. R. Goldman C.A.); and Li, R. de W. Waller, A.; Mr. Ip Kun-yim (C.B.C.); Mr. M. M. de V. Soares (V.R.C.). It the Navy decided to enter the team, it was proposed that a Navy representative be co-opted to this Committee, but it-was-not-proposed to enlarge.upon it to any further extent.
