The amalgamation of the District Basket
Ball League and the National Basket Ball
League, the two organizations that were

as foreshadowed in The Star a few days

the Washington Light Infantry Armory, at
which ten organizations that had teams
last season were present. S. Porter House
of the w. L. 1. Corps presided. while Will
lam Hemus of the Mount Pleasant Athletic
Club was selected as secretary. These two
officers and Capt. E. c. Edwards of the
Corcoran Cadet Corps were appointed q
committee to visit other clubs that have
applied for admission to the league, and
make a report on their eligibility for men,
bership at another meeting to be held soon
The delegates at the meeting were as fol-
lows: Light Infantry Messrs. House, Neu-
meyer and Robinson; Corcoran Cadets,
Capt. E. c. Edwards; Queer Wheelmen,
Messrs. Slack and Burgess; Mt. Pleasant
Athletic Club. Messrs. Warther, Helmus
and DIR. Hess; Eastern A. c., A. Raah;
Century Cyclists, Messrs Cobey and Good
ing; Washington A. c., j. 'Crupper: CITY
Post Office, Messrs. Mathews and Ferris.
There Is some opposition to adopting the
number OF players on a team fixed by the
rules OF the A A. U. A disposition has been
manifested to have more than fye the
regulation number. on team. 1t is the
belief of sincere friends of the game that
such departure would be a great error
and would seriously initiate against high
rank OF local teams compared with those
from out of the city.

NEW CUP DEFENDER,
Little Evidence at the Herreshofs,
That Work VIII Soon Begin.

special dispatch to the New York Her
aid from Bristol R. l.. says: The only
actual evidence that the Herreshoffs will
soon begin work on a new yacht for the
defense of the Americas cup lies in the
fact that large melting furnace and pot
have bean constructed during the last week
inside the boat shops. The pot will be used
to melt the lead for the keel, and it is
large enough to hold several tons of molten
metal
Work on the new yacht will not be begun
until the Defender has been put in prime
condition Whether the Defender will ar
rive in Bristol this week or not depends
upon the weather. Gales and storms have
ir:terfered considerably in the construction
OF the ways upon which the huge yacat
will be pulled out in her cradle. A new and
very powerful steam winch is being con-
structed in the Herreshoff machine shops
and Will be used. not only to haul the De-
fender up, but to let the new cup defender
down into the water without such an acci-
dent as befelI the Defender in 1885
A piece of aluminium cut from the side of
the Defender above the water line, arrived
at the Herreshof shops on Saturday to be
tested. 1t was found to be as strong as
when riveted to the yacht, it's tensile
strength being 3l,OD pounds to the square
inch HerreShoffs have been Informed that
the Defenders aluminium plating is in as
good condition the sample sent, with
the exception of the portion around the
stern aft of the rudder. The Defender has
been found to be perfectly water tight.
The new yacht will not be built for any
stated contract price. The Defender was
built on time work. with the price of ma
terial added. and liberal fee for the de-
sign. The new Defender will be built on
the same financial basis, which does away
with complications in regard to the altera-
ton of plans by the syndicate, or any
changes in regard to the material to be
used
