He spoke of the formation of junior and juvenile sections and the desire of the league to open out these branches and en- courage the boys learning the game. The City League will undoubtedly carry at least one junior section, but it is hampered at the present time by lack of suitable grounds. With the City League, the Mercantile, the C. 0.B.L. team, the Sunday School Lea- gue and the County League all play- ing games and practising, matters will be rather difficult to straighten out in regards to grounds but every effort will be put forth to secure a fitting and amicable arrangement. Entries of teams were recelved trom A. Davis & Sons, 4th Hussars, Athlefics, and Circle-Six. In the order named they were entered by James Quinn, F. D. Vanluven, W. Palmer and T. Mounteer. The Cir- cle-8ix will play in the senior section provided no junior sections are avail- able, but should ground be secured it is understood that they revert to juniors. Managers of junior or juv- enile teams, or parties wishing to enter the same, should get in touch with T..Mounteer as soon as possible and convey their intentions. Certifi- cates were given out to the clubs en- tered, to be filled in and kept as re- 'cords of players. Every player in the league must have an amateur card from the A.A.U. of C. and the steps necessary for this may be tak- en through any official of the league. Nominations were taken for the offices of first, second and third vice- president and will be held open un- til the next meeting, when be closed and voted upon. surmise as to whether Wolfe Island would go with the county or the city this season but the matter was not officially recognized, Wolfe Island not baving signified any intention of en- tering the city group as yet. -------------- Sons of Scotland, held their month- ly meeting on Thursday evening, af- they will|contrary, There was some discussion and |O°f Sir Michael Sadler Coming.
