of the business men5s class have taken
peculiar liking to cabaret singers and

numbers on the program will be sew
eral songs by noted singer imported
for the event.
The interest in the Comm1cial Bas-
ket Ball league of Y. NJ. G.. A. was at
top notch pitch last night when more
than three hundred spectators filled
the Association gymnasium to witness
the initial contests of the season. 1t
was expected that the teams would be
unable to demonstrate any great team
qualities in these initial games but
during the course of the evening many
spectacular plays were pulled off and
the work on the part Of the Bank,
Price and Ship teams was noticeable.
As individual point winners Gill OF
the Price Shoe Company, and Brooks
and Baker of the Bank team were the
particular stars.
The first game between the Fry e
Drug Store and Watt Shipp Company
was won by Watt Shipp Company. Al
Ian Carson, the tall center for the
shipps. Gagged three field baskets in
the last minute and one half of the
game and thereby won for his team.
The score was 1911.
The second game between the Price
Shoe Company and Hauser Bros. was
won by the former by decisive score
of 1874. Captain Utter showed good
form for the first night and the teams
appear to have the possibilities OF a
strong pennant contender.
The third game, between the Capital
lirbn1 q q III
won by the bank by the score Of 23.T.
At no time during the game was the
game in doubt, the bank seeming to
score at will. Captain Turner Of the

his first game and the team was con
siderably weakened by his absence.
