The Association football players held
another big meeting at the Scottish
Thistle Club rooms last night, the place

eager to do all in their power to help
the new league along. The meeting
was held under the auspices of the old
Hawaiian Association Football League.

After Secretary Piianaia had read
the minutes of the last meeting, re-
ports of committees were listened to.

mittee on teams, stated that already

record breaking season
Morse's aggregation is combination
of Hackfeld & Co. and Theo. H. Davies
& Co. players, the two firms having
combined for the Association season.
Anderson's batch is recruited from
the newly formed Makiki Club.
1t was decided to admit the above
teams into the league and also any
Others which should make application
to the secretary. 1t was also decided
that the filling of the teams should
be voluntary on the part of the play
ers, and not arranged by the league.
Messrs. Morse. Anderson, Blackman
and Goudie Will form clubs, which will
elect their own officials. From them
the officers of the league will be elect
ed.

1t was moved and carried that the
officers of the old league continue to
act until the clubs affiliated with the
league have elected their officers and
a new set of league officials is appoint
ed at meeting to be held on Monday

j. F. Fenwicke, chairman of the COM

to the champion team, reported that
there was pronounced sentiment in
favor of individual mementoes to each
member of the winning team, to go
with a cup. He said that whereas a
cup became the property of a club,
an individual token of prowess would
be greatly treasured by the possessor,
and could be taken with him wherever
ne went. Such a souvenir in years to
come would awake pleasant memories
OF hard fought "socker" battle in Ha-
wall nei. Mr.. Fenwicke said that the
committee had looked into the matter
of gold and silver badges. but had
found that the prices charged here for
such articles were exorbitant He
suggested that failing badges, league
cups be presented to players on the
winning team.
AS the money for presentations comes
out of the league funds, to which each
club contributes, it depends largely on
the amount of money in the treasury
as to what form the souvenirs shall
take. After considerable discussion.
the matter was left over until the next
meeting.
After a vote of thanks had been ten
dered the chairman the meeting adj
Journed until next Monday night at
the same place, the secretary being
abjured to inform every association
football player in the land of the date
ana place OF meeting, in order that at
the next gathering of the clans all
shall be present or accounted for.
1t is probable that the season will
open and close with International
matches between England and Scot
land, such games however, will not be
played under league auspices.
Association football is practiced at |
Makiki on Monday, Wednesday and |
Thursday afternoons, and all interested
are invited to turn out and take a |
kick.
