PAYMENTS TO AMATEUR PLAYERS.
IMPORTANT.
An amateur player may have paid for him, or have refunded to
him:—
(a) Railway, motor, tram, boat, etc., fares, or other necessary
expenses, actually incurred by him in travelling from, and
to his home or work, for the purpose of playing in a match.
(b)
Hotel expenses, i.e., necessary meals during the day and
sleeping accommodation, if absent for more than the day,
during the actual and necessary absence from home, for the
purpose of playing in a match.
Extravagant or unnecessary expenses must not be paid by a club,
and every amateur player must give the Secretary of his club a
detailed statement of expenses incurred, with a receipt for the
sums paid to him. It is the duty of the Club Secretary to ask
for such statement and receipt, and to keep the same for produc-
tion at any time, if required.
Payment for loss of time, compensation, consideration or
remuneration of any kind, other than the items included in (a) and
(b),
automatically makes a player a professional, and renders both
him and his club liable to punishment.
