SOCCER LEAGUE
DENIES CHARGES
Central Y. NJ. c. A. Team Treated
with Leniency, 1t Is
Declared.

Provoked not so much by the with
drawal Of the Central Young Mems Chris
tian Association soccer eleven from the
Field Club League, OF New York and New
Jersey, as by what they call the effort
made to evade the full responsibility for
their own shortcomings, the Crescent
Athletic Club, as winner Of the champion
ship, and the officers OF the league have
decided not to permit the published state
ment OF the Centrals TO go on record I'M
contradicted
Mr.. Humphreys. manager OF the Cres-
cent A. c. team, in commenting upon the
protest lodged against Danielson, Of the
Centrals. on the ground Of profession
alism, and which resulted in the deduc-
ton Of points from the standing Of the
Centrals, states that 1t was not leniency
that the latter wanted. but immunity.
Further than that he said that he. as
an interested party, had waived his vote
at the meeting Of the league. and that the
decision had gone against the Centrals
who. had they been influenced by feelings
OF tho best craftsmanship, should have
abided by II. Moreover. he added. the
Centrals were indebted to the league for
courtesy shown them in their admission
to that organization, the rules OF which
limited membership 10 field and country
clubs with private grounds, and also other
clubs Of amateur standing. The last
clause was added TO accommodate the
CentIals.
Mr.. Humphreys also pointed out that
after the player in question had been UNI
der suspicion last year the Centrals were
warned about him again early this sea-
son. in spite Of which he was played in
five matches. Also, he makes the i'm
portant point that the league started to
thrash the subject out early In Novem-
Der. at which time the Centrals fought for
penalty of points instead OF the 1C
strict reading OF the rule would call
for. subsequently, and after they were
defeated in their second game with the
Crescents, they changed their tactics and
strove for immunity Altogether, accord
ing to Mr. Humphreys, the Centrals
seemed to be out of accord with the prin-
ciples and spirit of the Field Club Soccer
