BASKET BALL LEAGUE.
VIII Be Discussed at Meeting Of En-
thusiasts This Evening.

A meeting Of the basket ball fans and
players of the city, who are interested
in the formation of local league for
the coming season, win be held at the
Church street gymnasium this evening.
It is hoped and expected that a large
number of players win turn out and
talk the matter over and get some defi-
mite idea of the formation of the league.
The present idea Of the promoters Of
the affair is to have fve.team 0ague,
and there is plenty Of good nsterial in
the city to make up atleast this humber
of teams.
The italian Athletic club has already
signiiied its intention of forming team.
as have other athletic organizations, and
it is expected that there viii be no diff
Guilty in securing sufficient number Of
players, who. with little practice.
would be able to give an interesting
series of games during the winter.
The intention Is to divide the players
on the Crescent team among the other
teams Of the league, thus making them
more evenly matched.
