BIRMINGHAM BOYS’ ASSOCIATION
There is to be a meeting at the Birmingham Athletic Institution this evening of the newly-formed Birmingham Boys’ Association. No less than 170 clubs have become affiliated, and the intention is to form a series of leagues and competitions on the knock-out principles. The association will not restrict its energies to football, but will arrange boxing competitions for boys under eighteen.
