years, having established a record for

Yankees pitching staff by the acquisi-
ton of reliable veterans, such as

afterwards they were in the market to
I'LL this need.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
MAKE PLANS FOR
BIG CAGE LEAGUE
Season viii Open January 6.
League to Be Composed
of Six Teams

The Y. NJ. c. A. Sunday School Bas
ketball league held meeting at the
~" last night for the purpose of
drawing up rules and making prepa-
rations for this season. From the
things that were done at this meet
ing and from the interest that is be-
ing manifested by all teams, officials
of the league are expecting one of the
most successful seasons that they
have ever had.
The teams that were represented
at the meeting were as follows: Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian, Seuthside Bap-
list. Ruhama Baptist, First Methodist
and Henley Memorial, whose teams
are already in the league. AS there
must be six teams in the league, one
moro team will be selected later.
The Representatives at the meeting
foted to start the season on Friday
night. January s, at s o'clock. The
season win continue until every
team in the organization has played
every other team In the league two
games. Ihls year, as in the City
league an admission fee of 10 cents
viii be charged and viii go toward
the general expenses of the league.
Each team is required to put up 4
deposit of $40. SO of which will go
toward general expenses. The other
So Will be returned at the end of the
season to each team, provided that
this team finishes the season in the
league. If the team does not finish
the SIS will be forfeited.
Any player who is not at present
on representative team of Brming-
ham Southern, Howard or any other
college is eligible to play in the
Sunday School league. Any person
above the age of "a years Will be
ineligible. and anyone who is absent
from Sunday school three consecutive
Sundays is ineligible.
The prospects are that, with the
large number OF men going out for
each team and with the ideal playing
conditions which now exist, that this
year should be the best that the Sun
day School league has ever had. The
brand of basketball played thus sea-
son is also expected to be consid-
erably higher than that that has been
played in the league in the past.
There will be another meeting on
Tuesday, December 81, at the Y. NJ.
c. A. for the purpose of drawing up
a playing schedule and determining
just what team will be the sixth
team in the league.

MISTAKE IN CAGE
GAME DISCOVERED

Goodwater, December 2o.-tspe-
cial.)-There was published recently
an account of the basketball game
between the State Second Agricul-
tural school at Lineville and the
Goodwater High school at Goodwater.
oAs was stated, this was a hard
fought game from start to finish, and
at the final whistle the score, as
shown by the seoreboard, stood FL to
10 in favor of Goodwater. One of the
Iineville players said that he had
thrown three field goals and had
credit for only two OF them.
After the two teams were dressed,
n discussion began as to where the
score was missed. The following
from a letter from the coach of the
Goodwater team explains 1t:
II think l know where you lost
the two points. 1t was a short goal
pitched directly after Haynes and
Sprayberry had jumped in scrim-
mage. The reason sprayberry yelled
it didn't count was because Haynes
struck the ball as it was going up,
the referee failed to see It. l am
sorry 1t came up, but your score
keeper should have called time out
and have Strengthened 1t out. / can
assure you that our man is straight
and 1t was no intention of his to beat
you out OF the game. He misunder-
stood it himself" Sprayberry is a
Goodwater player.
Lineville folks wis hto express their
appreciation here for the treatment
received at Goodwater and the gem
tlemanly way in which Mr.. White has
acted with reference to the score.
Lineville has the best team 1t has
ever had, and will tack up with any
high school team in tho state.
