the worlds history.
While thousands perhaps have been
executed, the list Of victims is far less
appalling than the ruthless in
which political prisoners have been sent
to death without a semblance of legal

OF
BASKETBALL
LEAGUE
Is Assured, With Six Or Eight
Of City's Leading Institu-

BY BOB PIoUE.

For the purpose Of formulating plans
for the proposed city basketball league
which is to be organized in Memphis
this year, a meeting will be held by
the athletic heads Of the different
schools Of the city one evening next
week. The proposed organization will
be gone into thoroughly and all de-
tails threshed cut. The meeting will
be held at the Y. NJ. c. A.
The proposition, which was set forth
in these columns a few days ago, has
met with unanimous approval Of the
hundreds Of basketball rams and play
ers all over the city, who are eager
that the league be formed in order to
assure a high class article OF the bas-
ket game this fall and winter. r. W.
Tapp, athletic director at the Y. NJ.
c. A, is heartily In favor OF Il, and
is lending his efforts toward the or
EaniZation Of the league, which he be-
lieves will prove a boon to the sport
lovers Of Memphis.
There are good basketball players
without number in Memphis who could
he secured for such a league, and that
at least six strong teams could he
formed is the belief Of those who are
IN thorough touch with the situation.
The proposition il to organize a six
or an ~eight-elub league and to play
regularly scheduled games every week
in some local gymnasium. Small ad-
mission prices would be charged and
thereby the incidental expenses OF the
league could be betrayed.

100000 In RING

GREAT LAKES NAVAL TRAINING

Great Lakes fight circles are humming
with activity following the announce
ment that navy fighters are to show
at the London ring for King Georges
trophy next month. A hundred thou
sand dollars In mitt talent is displayed
dally In the big gymnasium. Fights
that retail for a five spot and up in
civil life, are open and free to the gohs
every afternoon. Not one bout-a half
dozen or more.

Great Lakes have been invited to
send a team of five box fighters to
London for the interallied ring tourna =
ment, The request came from ,Ad-

the bureau of navigation. The selec-
lions are being made by Commander
John B. Kaufman, athletic officer, and
are nearly certain to include one ban
tam, one heavyweight, one lightweight,
one weller and a middleweight.
As rs more or less famous profess

is rarely seen In the ring, The boys
are serious. The reputation of Great
