The financial report read by Secretary

total loss for the year of s6ss.77. OF
( this amount, however, $523.25 was paid
out for the athletic equipment fund for

the YEAR were s4.24S.76. while the re-
ceipts were only $3,55+99, returning the
| loss of s6SS.77.

financial gain was derived from the Met
ropolitan boxing championships, which
Returned a net profit of s495.3s, while
the smallest gain returned was on the

OF the nine resolutions proposed by
the various committees, TO be referred
to the national body for approval, and
later voted on. six were passed by the
delegation while the other three were
voted down.
The most important of the resolutions
which went through with the consent
| of almost every one present. but which
was strongly opposed by Murray Hull
bert, was that an athlete who COM
| peted in the junior Metropolitan cham
| pionships unless he previously had rep
resented his club in open competition,
be not allowed to represent that club in
the title meet. Another of the resolu-
lions to pass without delay was that an
| athlete competing in an out of town meet
and travelling at the expense of the
association, be allowed only three days
expenses This. however, only applies
| to Athletic meets within six hours rid
ing distance from this city.
Other Resolutions.
The other resolutions which met with
the favor of the delegates were that ir
case of death of any Of the officials
OF the association the president be
given the power to appoint their success
| sors. Also that the extra round called
J for in amateur bouts when the bout ends
! in n draw, be a three minute round
instead of two minutes and that fee
of 90 cents be charged all athletes wish
! ing to transfer their connections from
one club to another.
The recommendations proposed and
which failed to meet with the approval
| of the delegation, we're that a member
OF the registration committee failing
| to appear at two consecutive meetings
be expelled and that the club member.
| ship fee of the association be raised
from $3.50 to $40. Another which was
voted down was that all clubs holding
