The evening times., 1896-05-14

jhere should be twelve clubs, but as a
number of the applicants were beyond the
age limit the board of directors at last
evenings meeting concluded that 1t would
De better to begin playing with ten clubs
| rather than accept teams whose members
are over seventeen years.
The Radfords wanted to join the league,
out a few questions of its representative
disclosed the fact unau IT'S meinDers are
far over the age limit and consequently
Ineligible.
The board of directors made careful in
Iuiry as to ages, and If 1t has been de-
ceivei in any manner by Misrepresentation
The club which has been guilty OF such ac-
lion Will be quickly dealt with. 1t is the
purpose of the bnarI TO carry out the origi-
nal proposition and see that every club
gets fair play.
Investigation has shown that the teams
are gentlemanly boys, whose wish it is to
elevate the game by honesty in every re-
specJ. The teams selected are made up
chiefly OF schooiboys, AM they are bright
ot of youngsters. Parents can feel salts
fed that their children will be treated Just
ike men, and every effort will be made
| % promote their interests aud put their
game on the level of National League CON-
sests.

TROPHY FOR THE LEAGUE.
The announcement that q design for a
trophy had been selected, and was now in
the hands of the jewellers, was received
with great deal of qualification by the
representatives of the clubs present, and
all expressed a determination to strive
hard to possess it. The trophy is being
made by r. Harris & Co, and when COM
PictSu "'h 'c oh tDeIT VIII
dow. A fun description, together with
picture OF the prize, will be printed in
The Evening Times in a few days.
The officers Of the league will leave
nothing undone In the way of advancing
the Interests of the boys in the national
game. and will insist upon the strictest
discipline among the league members.
Competent umpires will be on hand, and
each contest will be governed by the
same rules in vogue in the National Lea que.
1t is not the purpose of paying the UNI
plres for their work, as it is not deemed
advisable to enter into a contract of this
kind. 1t is hoped that the men who have
handed in their names will do the work
without pay, and in that way not only help
themselves, but assist in developing the
youthful pla yers.
Efforts are being made to secure en-.
closed grounds, when an admission fee
will he charged. The money thus de-
rived will be used for the purchase of balls
etc, and whatever remains a t the end of
the season will be equally divided among
the clubs then in the league.
