 Society Gambling House
 There is great deal of talk just now about night clubs, but the most mag niicent and in fact deadly of these the public and the powers-that-be know any, thing of. for the very good reason that 1t is private enterprise run as an or dinary smart household on a magnificent scale. Soon after the outbreak of the war 1t occurred to a certain peeress and some of her friends. who are all well known to be women of enterprise with organizing and administrative faculties that II would be a cute dodge to start a night club among their immediate friends and theirs. They were clever enough not to register nor to draw up any deeds, but this did not prevent them rom sending round circulars stating the nature of their venture and claiming large subscription. Forthwith big house was taken near tube and a Metropoli- tan station. and furnished richly with every known luxury. For the advantages set forth 1t is to be seen that the en- trance fee of 20 guineas and the subscrp- tlon Of mere 10 were moderate in the extreme.

By RICHARD F. LUSSIER

A. c. has an excellent chance of being broken. The usual social dance will follow the game.
 For the past few weeks the proteges of Physical Director Doc Glow of the Birmingham Athletic club have been hav- ing things quite their own way in the basketball world. All corners were met and defeated with facile deftness. Last week the B. A. C. sweled their list of victories by taking into camp the Recre- ation boys-an alleged championship ag- gregation under the direction of z. Nes- DOT. In excuse for the defeat of his team Nespor said;
 The Birmingham Athletic club is play ing 100 per cent better basketball now than two weeks ago. We simply struck the team at it's best and were beaten
 However, the title to the city amateur basketball championship is still obscure. The Central High school team contends that it has a chance while the Seniors" of the Young Mems Christian association, who have defeated the High school ag- gregation, claim that they are the only undefeated team in the city, and there fore the city champions.

 "He made a most excellent executive head and conducted the Southern league through many stormy times, ; said MT. Galloway. "He was on # the league is going to have to look long and far to find man who will capably fill his shoes"
 No other Southern league leaders were reached last night on the subject of the successor to the late President Kava- naugh.
