A meeting was called for by AFA secretary Herbert Turner to inform the New England representatives of the rules, regulations and by-laws of the organization. The meeting was scheduled for 8PM on Thursday March 8 at the rooms of the City Football league on Quequechan street in Fall River. However word was received late Thursday afternoon that the AFA met on Wednesday and decided because it was too late in the season, they would continue without the New England teams as they were beginning the first round a few days later on March 11. It was then decided by the members of the Fall River meeting to continue to conduct a tournament apart from the AFA and call themselves the New England Association Cup-Tie League. The officers elected were William Allan of Pawtucket as president, Nat Frazer of Boston as vice-president, Randolph Howarth of Fall River as secretary, and C.C. Murphy Jr. of Fall River as treasurer.
