the game OF basketball In Detroit. two
teams will struggle on graphite floor,

city, their first opportunity TO see last
years champion Ave, strengthened by
the addition OF two OF the best play
ers OF the strong YIN. c. A. and
Friendship fves, In action. II will
give chance TO see how the game
can be played on a graphite floor, the
only one in Michigan. except that at
Port Huron.
Shower baths have been installed at
the rink for the use OF the players
and they will be used for something
else than to get mere perspiration off
the hot bodies OF the players. II the
game Is at all strenuous the men are
likely to resemble bunch of coal
miners after hard days work.
II anyone takes Ii into his head to
slide along the floor on his ear, he'll
nave bOule OlHcI mar DcoiucS o.
scratch or a bruise for souvenir.
He'll have visage like a soft coal
handler.
The ID. A. C. FIVE has had the ad.
vantage of practice on the floor and
they pronounce II excellent for the
game. II will not permit the men to
slip as do polished dance floors where
games are often held.

TO give the ID. A. c. a good, stiff argu-
ment, according to the dope, George
Walker, Friendship player OF last
year, Is one OF the forwards. Bill
Lane, OF Burroughs fame, is another.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The stuck
market was practically notionless
again today, but prices on the whole
remained firm. Trading was dull and
uninteresting, and except for the
sharp decline in American Beet Sugar
stocks there was nothing in the
course of the days change 20 attract
attention. There was no pressure 20
speak of, and even the bear traders
did not bestir themselves as they did
in the markets Of a few days ago. In
the last hour OF trading there was
some heaviness, and few Fl the ac-
uYe shares closed fractionally below
the best Of the day. On tvs move
ment, however, the marker became
dull, with no pressure whatever. The
close was extremely quiet.
The money market was naturally
influenced by the arrangements to
meet the Dec. 81 settlement demands.
Call money loaned at IL per cent
again, but most Of the lorns were
made at a lower level. AMI before the
close loans were made as low as 1112
per cent. There was a fairly large
supply of money offered On call tfter

day, but no heavy advances were
made on time.

mont. w. Va. on account OF smallpox
many prevent the departure o. Bill
Louden, Tiger star second-sacker. for
Gulfport, Miss. when The Detroit club
goes south for the spring work next
February.
Louden has written friend here
that he Is worrying about his chances
for the spring practice this coming
season because some more cases Of
the dread disease In Piedmont may
force the establishment OF q Quarar-
tine of the town. (.
Already people can hardly get IN or
out of the town without getting vac
cinated or showing a certificate o{
health.
IF this burg gets any more cases Of
smallpox" writes Louden, ''I may not
get out OF town for spring practice
We are about quarantined here now
and can hardly get in or out Of the
town without getting vaccinated or
showing a certificate"
II the situation at Piedmont should
become so serious that Louden
couldn't get away to start the season,
II would prove a bad blow to the TiH-
ers. He is counted upon as practical-
ly sure OF his job at second base.
Coming to Detroit from the Newark
club, from which he was secured
through the draft, he made good his
first year with the Tigers. although
only after considerable effort He
started In at third base, but did not
remain there
When he landed at second base he
finally found the position TO which he
was most naturally suited and he.
made star second sacker. His field
ing is topnotch but his hitting Is nor
up to big league standard as yet.
No one has been figured upon TO
fill Iouden's shoes In case he
shouldn't be able 10 report. Wit and

HOCKEY LEAGUE

ARENA SEVEN MEETS A
MONTREAL TEAM TONIGHT
Detroit Seven Opposes Fast
Bunch From the Heart
of H0ckeyd0m

Is professional hockey destined to
supplant the amateur variety In the
United States?
That Is question which Is receiv-
ing serious consideration In several
American cities which have recently
acquired ice rinks and the hockey
spirit.
A six-team league with clubs in De
troit, Duluth, Chicago. Milwaukee
Cleveland anf Syracuse has been pro
posed. Distance however fail to lend
enchantment TO the view OF the pro
motors of this proposition. st. Paul
and Minneapolis might be better con.
sidered than Syracuse.
Duluth and Milwaukee are the lat
est of the cities mentioned to get In
closed rinks such as can be used for
hockey games.
Professional hockey once had hold
on the people OF the upper peninsula
which ii seemed impossible to shake
on However, the game became toe
time finally choked itself to death.
The amateur standing OF the Detroit
and Cleveland sevens has been ques
toned by Canadian teams. While they
may question the purity Of the hockey
they cannot question the ability OF the
players, as the professional teams ol
Canada have long been seeking play
ers on both the Cleveland and the De
troit aggregations.
The Detroit seven battles with q
Montreal team here at the Arena to
night while the Cleveland seven again
opposes a seven OF championship
caliber from Ottawa.
Detroit will present IT'S strongest
lineup against the Montreal septet
That star defense, Prout, Black and
Emery will furnish the wall the Can
adian forwards will have to break
down. Earlow, Johnson, Skelly and
Kennedy will form the offensive
forces FOR the Orange and Black
This Canadian team beat the Cleve-
land seven | TO 0 on Cleveland ice
last year, which is considerable boost
