NO DEFINITE

Further steps to reorganize the
Industrial Baseball League were
taken at q meeting In Bohnsack's

Works YER represented and the
subject of reorganization and begin

that will probably take part, NO def

1t appears likely that the league
will once more become active so as

 Thus the rules of the game were for mulated. But the greatest question was that of the goals. Old games were brought before the observation and thought of the committee in the search of a suitable goal for this game. The committee found that wherever goals were in a vertical plane. swift passing or throwing involved more or less rough ness in close proximity to the goal. The committee decided that the goals must prevent players from covering the open ing After th;s had been decided the committee agreed that the goal must have something to retain the ball so that it would not hinder the officials
 The first basketball game was played with crude implements The organizers could not get the ball they wanted, so football was used. For the basket or goal. a peach basket was nailed up at each end of the floor and the game proceeded The name of ''basketbalf was given the game on this account.
 Basketball was, for tine most part, planned around a mahogany table. Every detail of this national game was planned and formulated by the committee, under Mir Naismith. in the office of President Gulick Interest in basketball has never Jagged since it's introduction at the Springfield Training school in 1892. To the followers of the sport in Bir- lningham it may be recalled that bas- i ketbau was introduced in Birmingham In l 1893, at the old Athletic club. Basket ] ball is the only modern game
