had some highballs, he said. and
Mrs. English discussed her mar.

About 4:45, he said, he went

manager Of the apartment house
banged on the door and demanded
to know where Mrs. English was.
But the story told the police by

 CAUSESSCRAMBLE
City League Managers to Meet for Split COn-
 fereneCe Tonight
BY HENRY McGRATH

Tonight's the night when the managers of the city amateur bas- ketball league teams gather at Hamilton park for the final settle- ment and with but a few short hours remaining there are rumors that both managers, Myles Kelley of the Brooklyns and Will Gau- ghan of the Irish- have will be inevidence at the East End municipal recreation hall. Kelley stated however, that the session would have the appearance of a Sunday school, just 50 long as the Brooklyns collect.
 Vote Not Recorded
 Manager Gnughan has taken taken several things of the past to heart. believing that he alone is re- sponsible for the situation now prevailing when in all reality he has had little to do about the re- arrangement of the finances. The action was taken at a meeting that was attended by five managers and all with the exception of Mir. Kel- ley voted for the change. This, &C., cording to the other four means that the percentage split be divid- ed according to the standing at the completion of the first series which was taken by the Irish and the B. A. C. finished in a tHe for third place with the Sacred Hearts and Carripgtons. The Hills were in sec ond place. The second round or tourney m oney was to be .Iplit eight ways evenly. Having an opin- ion that the teams eliminated at the offset due consideration was given them as holders of league franchise. Thus and according, Manager Kelly seems to be alone in his stand upon this particular issue and Gaughan is on the band wagon. If the more critical fans were to judge by this arrangement the Irish are right and Gaughan Is entitled to applause for standing up for his rights against the sea soned champions
 Both he and MT. Kelley have been considered justly to be the scrappiest pilots in the circuit against others and when they were pitted in the same argument some- thing had to happen. And it did. Kelley Firm
 Of Manager Kelley's stand on the matter 1t might be well stated that no record of the said vote was made nor were the bylaws of the leaguec hanged to meet with such result. As 1t happened the secre- tary was absent from the only meeting which was attended by q quorum since the beginning of the season. Manager Kelley continues to carry on because he believes no such agreement was made and in- asmuch as there Is no official rec ord of the same, the E. A. c. spokesman adheres to an age old principle that to the victor belongs the spells.
 Bill Derwin will preside over to- nights meeting which will start at 8 o'clock.
