There has been too much betting by players on the success of their club team in match games this season to make success possible. It is in direct violation of the constitutional law of the association. But that fact that has been apparently ignored by the club players interested. No player should be allowed to be interested in any bet on a game in which he is a participant. And yet hundreds of dollars have been invested in this way this season, causing the loss of many a game from their anxiety to win.
