|Title=a league membership needs to be divisible by four
|Text=<p>...the Association will be very cautious about increasing its membership beyond eight clubs.  It was found, last year, that any number not divisible by four, made a schedule exceedingly awkward.  Ten would be as bad as six, as was determined by the St. Louis meeting.  The only increase allowable or possible, would be twelve, and it is safe to say that the Association do not hanker after an increase to this number.</p>
