IN A TURMOIL
MONEY WILL BE DIVIDED
AMONG PLAYERS.
Loving Cups Are Not In Demand In
city League at This
Time.
WANT NO POST SEASON SERIES.

In a squabble the city basketball
league broke up last night and as a
result no cup will be awarded this
season and after all of the expenses
are paid the money on hand will be
distributed among the players. The
action of the captIins in throwing out
the protested game split the league
and possibly next year may have q
bearing upon the reorganization.
The meeting OF the officials last
might was for the purpose of decid-
| ing what to do with the surplus in
the treasury. With the exception of
the c., c. and w. team, all of the
teams We're represented. Before dis
posing of the money the question was
up how to provide a cup. The pro-
posed open air game TO complete the
schedule OF eleven games was de-
clared of as the Chess team an
nounced firmly that the players would
not take part in another game.
IL was proposed by President Davis
that the c., c. and w. team be
awarded the championship of the
league for leading with ten games
and be awarded the cup. while the
High school team be gwen smaller
cup for winning second place. This
was satisfactory to Captain Brown
ing. of the High school team, but
when communicated with, Captain
Fisher. of the c.. C. and W. said
the team would have nothing to
do with a proposition in which the
High school team was concerned. It
was then declared that a cup would
not be awarded.

"HUGH b. CRAIG. Treasurer"
On account Of the interest shown
i'm guiding the league, and the time
he had devoted to il the captains pro-
posed to give President Davis a re-
membrance of their appreciation OF
his efforts. but he declined TO enter
tain a motion to that effect. Presi-
dent Davis said he regretted the
affairs of the league had become so
lentangled at the close OF the season.
as he said he had tried to be fair to
every team. He thanked the players
and officials for the consideration.

of the c.. c. and w. players. Dur
ing the season he offered his resigna-
ton as president. but retained the
