TO DISCUSS BASKETBALL.
Meeting Tomorrow of Those Interested il
Wilmington City League.

A meeting of the managers of the Will
mington City League will be held at Neigh
borhood House, Eighth and Lincoln
streets, on tomorrow. Several important
questions will be brought up concerning
the coming season, among which is the
advlsability of continuing the age limit.
As shis was q constant source of trouble
and protest during the past two seasons,
the elimination of such a limit would
undoubtedly he welcomed by most of the
clubs.
Those clubs which were in the league at
the end Of the 1919 season will be given
preference among those applying. 1t is also
probable that the league will be cut down
to six teams, and the season shortened
All managers desiring to gain entrance
to the league, had therefore better attend
this first meeting, in order that the league
will not have to be altered as it was the
last season.

time he built up a reputation as

court benches of the state.
While he was a district judge Frank
Bailey was everything that the name
implies. He tolerated no legal quib-
blings and dilatory practices upon the
part of the lawyers who practiced at
the bar over which he presided. As
a result the court was always up
with the docket" with no long drawn
out cases hanging over and pending

to year.
AS another mark of his ability as

timisuc over democratic chances for
