FOR BASKET BALL LEAGUE.
Baltimore and Washington Teams to
Join Organization,

BALTIMORE, Md, November %
Plans are on foot for the formation of
an intercity basket ball league with teams
of Baltimore and Washington as men,
bers. Prof William Becker of this city
is one of the prime movers toward the
organization of the league and already
has six local teams willing to join it.
The teams are the Sterlings, Aeolas, Tux
edos, st. Joseph's. Lyceum. Federas and
Southerns, all of which are now members
of the Junior Basket Ball League of Bal
timore. 1t is probable that the Wash
ington City Basket Ball League will be
the other member. The teams of the
intercity league will also continue MEM
bers of their respective leagues-that is,
the local teams Will continue as members
OF the Junior Basket Ball League, while
the washington teams will remain as
members of the Washington City Basket
Ball League.
a meeting of the Washington City Bas-
ket Ball League has been called for to-
night in the boardroom of the Washington
I. NJ. {. A. at s o'clock. Nine teams
nave made application to enter the inter-
cry DIVISION: Six Will be selected and a
schedule will probably be made up calling
for the opening game of the series during
the first week in December. The repre-
sentatives of these teams can scure a
copy of the constitution and bylaws by
applying to Mr.. w. c. Thacher, president
of the elague. 1t will be necessary for
all teams to subscribe to the constitution
and bylaws at this meeting.
Prof William Becker of Baltimore has
already gotten his teams in shape and
has secured a silver championship loving
cup, eight medals for the winning team
and three silk banners for the best three
teams in the 100. 135 and 150 pound class
He has drafted the constitution and by-
laws, which have been accepted by the
members of the league. The local league

INJUNCTION REFUSED.
Coffroth Will Pull Off Papke-Ketch-
ell Battle as Scheduled.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, November %
The application by John ]. Gleason for an
injunction to prevent William Papke and
Stanley Ketchell from fighting tomorrow
under the auspices of James J. Coffroth's
club was refused by Judge Sewell The
contest therefore will be held as scheduled
for the middleweight championship. Glea-
son originally made the match for his
club, but Coffroth by offering better in
ducements snatched the battle from Glea-
son. Great interest is displayed in the
mill and. judging from the advance sale
of seats, there will be $4,000 when the
men enter the ring.
In spite of the fact that Papke put
Ketchell away in twelve rounds the last
time they met and that Ketchell has
taken of nearly thirty pounds in order
to scale at 15S. three hours before get

NOTES ON WESTERN.
BUSINESS GAME.

Although the Business team of this
season presented strong front ard
gave Western the hardest fight the
Stenographers have given the boys
across the creek for several wears.
nevertheless the Georgetown lads ex-
perience and superior knowledge of the
game told in the end. Business out
weighed Western, but relied too much
on the general ability of its players,
displaying very little headwork, stupid
plays resulting of which its opponents
readily took advantage.
"Micky' Guy, the diminutive quarter
of Western, was out of the game
owing to a lame back sustained IN the
Technical game. His position was ca
pably filled by Capt. Obenchain. who
ran the team with rare judgment
spectators that he has few equals In
high schools in running back punts
He is very active in picking out open
ings and taking advantage of them.
Greer, who has been holding down
the center station for the Stenogra-
piers in their last few games, was much
in evidence in this fray by his clever
work on both the defensive and often
sive. The big fellow displayed some
classy Speeu III SettlIS GOWN on g,
and frequently broke through the
line, throwing an opponent for a loss
The Georgetown boys were greatly
strengthened by Robesons return to
his old station at fullback. His con-
sistent line bucking was mainly re-
sponsible for Westerns first score.
Robson also has very few high school
equals as a punter, and responds read
lily with a clever boot when called
upon.
Rawlings. the st; Ir back of Business
resumed play yesterday for the first
time for several weeks. being unable
to play sooner on account of an INJURY
to his knee. Coach Palmer stationed
him on end. and he was much in the
game by his excellent playing, while
his punting was a large factor toward
keeping Western from scoring more.
Capt. Rathbone was also continually
in the limelight with long runs and
strong defensive work. The slim lead
er strived hard to bring his team home
a winner and he seemed to be in every
play.

Edward Harris Coy, Yale 1910 was last
evening elected captain Of the Yale foot

no surprise, although he was not unan-

Hatchetites Ready for Bucknell.


After the practice today at American
League Park Coach Nelson will issue his
final instructions to the George Wash
ington University foot ball team and
everything shall have been done within
the power of the able coach to render the
Hatchettes fit for the great battle to-
morrow at American League Park with
the crack team representing Bucknell
University. The work today will consist
of light signal drill. after which the men
will be dismissed until tomorrow. when
they will don their toys for the final
fray.
According to reports from the training
fed, the Hatchettes are in much better
physical shape than they have been for
some weeks past. Halfback Crafts. whose
condition has been the source of much
worry to Coach Nelson. has completely
recovered from the injury received in the
Washington and Lee game. and his ap-
pearance in the lineup will undoubtedly
send the Hatchetite stock booming.
While comparative scores are not al
ways conclusive. and such dope has been
frequently upset yet it would seem that
Bucknell has slightly the better of the
argument. having tied the strong Lafay-
cite team, & to q. and defeated Ursinus.

high. and 1.ehigh put 1t over Lafayette

defeat of Bucknell by George Washing

right at the top of the sO-called minor
colleges. Can they turn the trick? The
answer will be given at American League
Park tomorrow. The battle starts at 2:;}O.

BIOLOGISTS WILL INVESTIGATE
 WATERS IN THE RESERVATIONS

reservation is the Little Colorado, which, before it joins the Colorado, likewise sinks into a deep canyon whose walls are made up of vari-col- ored sandstones and limestone.
 Mountain groups like the Cariso and the Tunftcha mountains rise above the variegated desert that forms the greater part of the. reservations. These mountain masses are huge, fiat topped mesas. trimmed by cliffs that make them difficult of access. On some of them are few small laAes, and many of the springs that rise at the foot of the slopes leading to them are the sites of the temporary homes occupied by the more or less nomad- ic Indian races.
 During dry years the natural sources of water supply are made quate for the needs of the Indians and their herds, and the Indian bu- reau, which has conducted reclama- tion investigations in the past and is now planning to increase the area un- der irrigation by' constructing dams and canal systems, wishes also to in crease the number of places within the reservations where water can be obtained for range purposes. With this end in view it has asked that this investigation be made.
