METROPOLITAN LEAGUE.
O.K.'S AMONG SEVEN CLUBS IN NEW ORGANISATION.
Established for this season only as friendly competition among clubs able and desirous of continuing to play football, in spite of the suspension of operations on the part of the organisations to which they belonged at the outbreak of the war, the Metropolitan League has a membership of seven, all within a convenient circle comprising border portions of London, Middlesex and Surrey. The seven clubs are: The Old Kingstonians, Tooting, South Tooting, Summerstown, West Norwood, Wimbledon (and Southall- not mentioned in report).

Lightfoot, L.F.A., the O.K.'s representatives being Mr. D. Judd (president) and Mr. C. Brookwell (Hon. Sec.). Mr. J. T. Clarke, 22, Sackville Gardens, The Drive, Ilford, who was some years ago a member of the FA. Council, and about 15 years ago hon. sec. of the Southern Suburban League, was appointed hon. Sec., and fixtures were arranged, the matches to be for points only, there being neither trophy nor medals offered in connection with the league. The Old Kingstonians first match will be at home with West Norwood on Oct 24th.
