he enters the ring tonight at the

Another serious attempt to organ
ize a four team basketball league
in the city is being made, with a
hope that four local fives can be
induced to take the floor in the
high schooy gym. the coming week
and play the first games. Angelo
"Shiek" Rocco, manager of the
PIeasantville Cardinals. is behind
the movement this time.
The four cams invited to enter
the league are the Pleasantyille
Athletic Association, Mainland
Post Of the American Legion, the
First Baptist church. and the Pleas
antivIlS Cardinals. Managers of
each of these teams have been
sent letters asking them to come
into the circuit.
Managers of the Legion team and
the Acey five have also been asked
to give two of the four nights they
have the high school gymnasium
each month for league purposes
The Acey management, Somers
Steelman, has agreed to this ar
rangement, and it is expected that
the Legion five's mentor, Charles
Beauthias, will take similar action
before the weekend is over
The schedule which has been ar
ranged by Ruocco has each team
playing six games, meeting each
of its rivals twice. Two games viii
be played each League night. Ar
rangements are being made to
secure a suitable prize for the win
ner of the circuit. The champion
ship Of the league will be decided
in six weeks, ending the games
sometime early in March, or just as
the cold weather breaks in this
section
Nj. Ruocco suggests that each
team of the League must also post
forfeit money, ten dollars, which
will be returned Immediately after

middle of the floor and tossed his
four turkey" shots through the

Maroon net during the game, SO
closely were they guarded.
1t seems too bad that Capt.
"Bili"Green had an off night,
and was unable to drop the
ball through for his usual num-

gave a fine exhibition with his
five out of five foul goals, and
three field baskets Bradley

two field goals, one a long one,
and the Maroon guard shot a

Once more followers of sport here
are trying to get a basketball
League which would decide the
championship of the city under
way. 1t is proposed that four teams.
the Legion, First Baptist, Acey
and Cardinals, organize into a four
circuit league to play six weeks,
one game a week. Contests would
be played in the high school gym
nasium.
This time it seems that the
league is almost sure of being a
success. A schedule, which seems
satisfactory, has been arranged,
and final plans will be made as
the first games are played either
Wednesday or Thursday night of
the coming week in the gymnasium.
Managers Of the four teams
mentioned will have much to
do with making the league a
success or a failure. Mainland
Post and the Aceys have been
requested to give their night
in the High school gym twice
a month for league purposes.
They are expected to comply
with this request.

We HAVE always believed that "a house
divided against itself can not stand" but
we are learning from many of the best
houses this Spring that frock thus di-
vided can not fail. Black and white
are a stunning combination for frock
of this type, while a smart contrast is also
achieved by using light and dark shades
of some rich color. or by combining a
blouse of metallic fabric with a skirt of
satin crepe or velvet. But though di-
vided in shade or material, this gown is
united in chic. For the upper part
boasts the stylish dolman sleeve, while
the skirt has both smart tiers and front
drapery to proclaim it newest of the new.
