1t is proposed to get right to work and
organize and prepare a schedule and
have the league season open as soon as
possible.
1t is proposed to have only one large
league this season instead of two as was
the case last year. 1t is thought to be
for the best interests of the game that
there should be only one organization to
control the game, and play all games In
one hall or gymnasium, and each team 10
play a game a week.
