Discuss the Climax Claims.
There was quite lively meeting Of the
County League last evening, and it may be
accepted as a fact that things are not going

Thompson, of the Climax team. demands a
revision of the schedule and the majority
of the League are opposed to any change.
They so decided last evening. and the Gil
max lot threaten to withdraw. Manager
Thompson also claimed at the meeting that
two of his PLAYERS had been taken from him
