up.

The Ramblers, plagued by fi- nancial difficulties. presented an ultimatum to the league. The club would drop out. the Amherst rep- resentative stated. unless they were excluded from the arrangement whereby the home club pays the visiting club 10 cents for every ticket sold at each game.

Moncton Hawks are not affected by the arrangement. having been excused before the schedule opened in October.

THREATEN T0 FOLD

From the Amherst proposition. there resulted a lengthy debate during which the league threatened to fold. since it was doubtful that a three-team league could be oper- ated and there seemed to be no possible solution to the problem.

At first both Charlottetown and Fredericton reJected the Amherst request. The Amherst representa- tives, refusing to back down or compromise, explained that they were already in the red and could not hope to carry on under present conditions.

They stated that the 10-cents-a- head setup was making them lose money, since they Were Daylni 011'- more than they were taking in.

Furthermore, added Gunnar Galin of Stockholm, the smaller tennis countries may be easily tempted unless bigger tennis pow- ers assist them.

"In recent months I have seen Russian officials at important ten- nl.s tournaments all over Europe," Galin said. "They are always talk- ing with sponsors of these tourna- ments about a plan for a strictly European competition with some new trophy to be set up as the prize:

"1 am sure up to now these Sov- iet representatives have reecived little encouragment but I wonder how long it will last.''

Galin said it was his understand- ing that Russia is anxious t.o enter international tennis competition but the Soviet takes a dim view of the Davis Cup which has been domin- ated by America and Australia in recent years.
