shown by the text of an appeal. which
is now being widely circulated in
Great Britain. It is signed by Sir Ar

Can we not find among our rich
men some one who will make games
his hobby and be the financial father
of the team How could a man spend
money better? Failing that, we must
all make an effort to secure ample
funds for doing everything which
money can do to put the British flag
at the top in Berlin.
