Basket Ball Committee Rules
Teams Must Play
Even With Only Four
Players.

The "fu" epidemic is playing
havoc in local "Y" basket ball circles.
Nearly all teams are handicapped

None of the cases is serious and it
is expected that all of the players
will be back before the games next
week. A number of the teams in the

with their regular lineup and can moi
sign additional players in time, they
must either forfeit the game or play
with the urnber of men available.

their players, McBriN Graham and
Eckstrom are on the sick list. The

forced to forfeit their game last
night to the Omaha National Banks,
as they were unable 70 sign addi-
t;onal players and were not notified

will stand as postponed game,
since it was called off before the
COMMITTEES acted.
But one game was played last
night in the Greater Omaha league
that between the Beddoes and the
Townsends, which resulted in vic
tory for the Beddoes by the one
sided score of AZ to 20. At no time
of the game were the Beddoes in
danger Of losing, playing the Gum
hers off their feet from the start.
Klepser and Red Phelps were the
point getters for the Beddoes, the
former making 10 points. while
Phelps made 10 points of the AZ. The
game was rough dtumble al
fair throughout. personal fouls be-
ing numerous. The Townsends we're
somewhat handicapped as the result
OF several Of the players being sick.
The guarding of konecky and
Trumblc also featured for the Bed

On British Soil, Americans Demand
 Irish be Freed

Montreal, June 7.-Despite the fact that they are on British soil, certain delegates to the annual convention here of the American Federation of Labor today launched their fight to get the federation to reaffirm its en- dorsement of the Irish republic and demand that the military forces of occupation in Ireland be withdrawn by the British government.
 Peter J. Brady, New York, repre- senting the allied printing trades headed the delegates presenting res olution on the Irish question, which charged the English government Is seeking to "destroy through military forces the republican form of govern ment already established by the Irish people" and urged: "that the Irish people be allowed to guide their dest'- nies and that all possible aid be rem dered the peoeple of Ireland" It was referred to committee.
 Delegates sponsoring the resolution declared they would not be deterred from denouncing the English govern ment and its Irish policy because they were on British soil.
 Among other resolutions presented was one from the garment worKers delegation from New York, asking the convention to demand that the block lade against soviet Russia be lifted.
