at present
The Pennsylvania Company has had
the matter under consideration ior
some time, and has had strong desires
to erect a creditable building for its
employees, but no action was taken. ow-

be taken relative to the erection of
such a building.
The association at present meets in
Yardmaster Cantwelgs office but as
the new overhead system will result in
fits being razed, the organization will
have no headquarters. Accordingly. it
is probable that the railroad company
may erect a building before the pres
ent headquarters are done away with.
Railroad men have long wanted suit
able quarters. and a petition was got
ten out some time ago and signed by
600 men, who agreed to pay SO a year.
providing the railroad company would
build such. but for some reason the
matter never materialized.
The association is in a nourishing
condition. and great interest is being
manifested in the religious services.
Those who are at the head of the or
ganization believe that with the cree
ton Of an association hall, provided
with reading rooms. gymnasium. etc.
the body would become a strong one in
a short time.
There was a large attendance at the

Gate Recent Subject

Managers of the American Basket
ball League held a special meeting in
Philadelphia yesterday in the Office Of
President Crowley, which was called
principally TO discuss the question Of
guarantee and percentage.
The Trenton Clubs representative
wanted the rule amended so that in
future the visiting club could have
either 80 per cent of the gate or the
option of a fixed guarantee of Sl5
whenever the percentage did not equal
this amount. 1t was decided by a
vote of 4 against 2, to retain the per.
cont. system Of dividing the receipts.
The Trenton Club transferred the
December 20 game with Chester. which
was to have been played on the latter's
floor. to December 21, at Trenton. and
the Trenton-Wilmington game at
Trenton, originally scheduled for De-
cember is. was transferred to Deem
ber Is.
William Jacob Scheffler, who is gem
orally acknowledged to be the best ref
cree on the stan. resigned because of
