The Y.M.C.A. will promote a city basketball league for men, a senior girls’ league, grammar school leagues for boys and girls, and a Sunday School league for boys 16 to 20 years old.
The team representing commercial basketball players will play visiting teams on Friday night of each week. Each team in each league will be headed by a captain and manager. These officers will meet November 1st for the purpose of organizing and appointing officials, and establishing rules for the league. These rules will prohibit transferring players and will regulate practice periods and playing schedules. The purpose of the league is for furnishing helpful recreation for many times the usual number interested in basketball. Official cups furnished by athletic houses will be on display in prominent windows down street. These cups will be given to the teams winning in each league.
