HEARING OF EIGHT
 CHICAGO PLAYERS TO BE HELD SOON
Trial of Alleged Game Throw CTS Will Follow Soon After
 the Preliminary Hearing
By Associated Press

Chicago December 2S.--The preliminary hearing for the eight Chicago American league baseball players and five alleged gamblers. who were indicted by the Cook county grand jury in connection with alleged throwing of games in the 191s worlds series. will be held within three weeks, and the trial will begin shortly after. States Attorney Robert F. Grove announced tonight.
 MT. Grove assigned George k. German, second assistant states attorney, to handle the case, and ordered him to pre- pare for an immediate trial. Mir. Grove refused to say whether Hartley Replogle, former assistant states attorney, who handled the grand jury investigation, would be connected with the prosecution of the indicted men. German tonight said he had not had time to go into the case thoroughly, but expected to devote the next few days to a study of the grand jury investigation. He refused to discuss the trial of the Pacific Coast league players, wherein the judge ruled that throwing games was not a criminal offense, but said that he would ask att torneys for the records so that he could see what bearing it might have on the trial here.
 Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Williams confessed their share in the scandal to the grand jury, and Oscar Felsch was quoted by newspaper reports as confessing to them, but Felsch. Buck Weaver, "Swede'' Risberg and McMullin have officially denied that they were guilty and have engaged counsel. Jack son and Williams also have been quoted in press dispatches as saying they would be back in baseball next sea- son. Chick Gandl. the eighth player indicted. has not announced his plans in regard to the trial.

Shake-Up in Cage League Standing
 Expected Tonight
CITY LEAGUE STANDING

Beginning of play of the third week of the local City Basketball league season finds the Central Y. M. c. A. and Sloss- Sheffield tied for top honors in the standing, each having won both it's games.
 The standing of the league seems due for a little shake-up after tonights games. however, as evenly matched teams will meet, and the victory has just as much chance of resting one way as the other. Sloss-Sheffield, one of the leaders. for instance, is meeting the Bir- min gham- Southern Reserves, and the latter quintet has shown power in the one game it has played The Reserves stand an even chance of beating the Sloss-Sheffield boys which would bring the Panther quintet up to tie with it's opponent for second position, and, if Central "Y" loses, to a triple tie for top honors. Central t'Y" is meeting Adam son Motor Car company. however. and from past performances is doped to win.
 North Birmingham Community "Y," which has yet to break into the win column will meet Stockham "Y'' and has an even chance of winning.
 The complete schedule of games to- night is as follows:
 Central "Y' vs. Adamson Motor Car company.
 Stookham "Y', vs. North Birmingham Community ''Y"
 Sloss- Sheffield By-Products vs. Bir- mingham- Southern Reserves. Hardfought games should feature to- nights programme. as the teams have settled down to the grind of the season and are beginning to flight their hardest. There will be a merry scrap all the way through the season, and if the bottom teams break into the win column to- night they will be almost on even terms with the leaders. with as good a chance 1 at the title as any.
