will use all the jam nce 1 possess to cut

the worst offenders. I will encourage in

I wish to see the 6anadian Lacrosse
Association the leasing association in
the Dominion. It h s been so in the
past, and nothing bu the strictest en-
forcement of the rule will make it so in
the future. I am st ugly in favor of
amateur lacrosse, an believe that the
senior clubs should t be allowed to
run the association. If we must have
I professional lacross. , those interested
I should separate tlmselves from the
10. L. A. or amend tie amateur rule and
say it shall not appl • to the senior series.
There is no doubt but a large majority
of the supporters ofiour national game
in the towns and villages throughout
the Province, are i1 favor of amateur
lacrosse. and the 10..sidential rule that
has so often been d -feated at the C.L.A.
convention has gro vn in favor so rapid-

it one of the rules of the association,
