Do YOU KNOW?

That there has been for the past
two years basketball league per-
forming in this city and that from that
league there sprung last year a team
which won two championships in Mil
waukee contests.
That this league is supported by
certain business men in this city who
have been large hearted enough to
give the boys start.
That this league has in the past two
years played every Thursday evening
and intends to do the same thing this
coming season.
That a charge of ten cents admis-
sion is made at the door, to defray the
expense of referee, balls, etc, and you
can come any time after 700 P. NJ.
and stay as long as you wish up to
1890 p. NJ. and see some real basket
ball.
That any one who knows anything
about basketball at all is welcome to
come and play or watch the games.
That the games this year start with
a practice game Thursday night, De
cember /. This game will not count
in the series but is merely to see that
the teams are fairly evenly matched
and to see how the men perform and
do what re-arranging is necessary to
balance the teams.
That the main object is to get the
young fellows of the city together and
create some interest and from them
take the seven or eight best men and
make up a town team that will make
the teams around here sit up and take
notice.
That the games are played at the
High School gymnasium and the fell
lows are looking for the town to show
their colors.
Come out and pick the winners.
