Basketball and Baseball Leagues.
The District Amateur Basketball and
Indoor Baseball Leagues will hold
meetings next Wednesday night at the
Y. NJ. C. A. to consider the respective
schedules being prepared by Mr.. Beck
EFT. who was charged with this duty.
At this meeting the officials proposed
for the championship games will go over
the rules with the delegates and receive
a correct Interpretation of them as the
leagues understand them. This will do
away with all misunderstanding about
the rules when the contests are on and
should considerably tighten the work of
the officials.
The season promises to be an unusual
ly active one with five bowling leagues;
two basketball and an indoor baseball
league, all going at one time in ad-
dition to the numerous other contests
of various sorts.

the giants will take part. The event of
the day. however, will be the 5mile
special invitation run. in which Alexan-
der Grant Bowen. Peirce. and some OF
the Metropolitan cracks will enter.
