CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN NbiwW YORK DISTRICT BOARD

Our members are about the same as last year. We have 46 in all, 7 new, and
58 renewals and 1 transfer. There were 3 dropped and 4 transferred to other dis-
tricts.

We have held but two regular meetings, one before the season began and one
at the close of the season.

There is but one examination each year, and that at the close of the season.

The matter concerning members who solicit games at reduced rates was dis-
cussed, and it was the opinion of all those present that such action was in viola-
tion of the spirit of this association.

We are happy to say that secretaries of all leagues in our district are
favorable to approved Central Board Officials and the general reputation of mem-
bers of our board is of the best.

SOUTHERN NEW YORK BASKETBALL OFFICIALS

The Board has completed its third season, with twenty-five active members and
one honorary member.

The Fall Interpretation meeting, conducted by H. B. Ortner, was largely at-
tended, as coaches, players and all interested in basketball were invited.

We published a book similar to that of the Maryland Board including a list
of our officials and distributed them to all leagues in our district.

Nine candidates took the examination in the fall, three being accepted.

WESTERN NEW YORK DISTRICT BOARD

Active membership of seventy-eight officials, residing in nineteen different

the practical test, of which eight were successful and one failed.
