made the atatemrm. "1 played him

Al the time. Elliott said he waa
working under the assumption
Snapp would be too old In hla

waa Incorrect.
However, thla much iUnda aa the
alark truth. Mlloit and ne doubt
othrra connected with the league
hould hare been more emphatic,
rattier than make mere mention of
Hnappa Ineligibility In off-the-cuff
conversations.
It la difficult to determine riart

teat or when auch action wecurred.
Hut, unfortunately. II waa dona

Why No Proteit? '

Is that the league organisalion and

P. S. Snapp did not play in the

Huskies have one official win on Its

added that the PCL's present Gov

against the survivor of an elimina

The AA and International titllsts

anything about future plans of that
