y; M;C. A. PLAYERS ORGANIZE LEAGUE

Six Basketball Teams Are Admitted and All Are Very Equally Matched. SQUADS CHOOSE COLORS

schedule is not yet drawn Up, but opening games will probably be played the first of next week.

The local Y. M. C. A. Is to have a basket ball league. That will be joyXiil news to every follower of the game In this city. And it wonft be any "one-horse" league, either. It will be composed of six teams and each team "will have a reserve list of nine players, so there will not be any lack of material. The league was definitely organized at a meeting of the athletic conomfctee yesterday afternoon. More than fifty members of the organization presented their najmes as candidates. It required a great deal of work on the part of the committee to arrange this list so that the six teams would be as nearly evenly balanced a possible. There are some members of the league who have bad practically no experience in the game. These are placed on "team? with men who have been in the ametfora number of years. ! Teams Well Balanced. Front comments that have been made, ttie lineup of the teams appears to meet with the commendation of the candidates. The names of all players were han'dled absolutely impartially. The athkfic committee was governed by the spirit of fair dealing and ttiis prevented 'any combination whflch might result in a cure thing deal or a frame up ' oJ any description. The candidates weAe grouped according: to their experience and ability and t&e makeup of each team was chosen by lot from the list obtained. It is the intemtion to play the opening game Tuesday evening, but the committee has been unable to arrange the schedule and this fact may postpone the opening, until next week. It has not been determined how long the league will conttoue. It is believed likely thaf. warm weatther will interfere with the Interest of the players and make the game onetoo strenuous, also. Th season now is almost over for the colVge teams, but it is probable that gmes will be. scheduled through MfcVch and April.- 4Each' team will pfay but one game each week and if the schedule extends through the two months, twenty-seven games will be p.teyed, each team playing nine. It miy be decided, however, to continue the season another week and provide for ten games, so that each team will meet the others twice. Teams Chose Colors. It has been suggested that the teams choose some color or the name of some educational institution by which to be known. If the college names are selected, the team bearing it will expect

ed to adopt the same color as that which represents the school. It Is expected that considerable rivalry will result from the league and an interesting sport provided. It is not to be expected that any sensational players will be developed .this season. .It is. begun too late, and too many of the players are inexperienced. However, fhc league will create - interest in -the sport that will tend toward the development of players, so that "next season a representative Y. M. C. A. team can be chosen. Lineup of Squads. The following are the squads picked: Number One E. Wevchman. Spangler, Compton, Porter, J Miller, -Farrow, Gillespie, HatfieW, Goebel. Number Two Bruoiion, Anderson, Cain, Dlngley, Metzker, Druley, Graves, Thomas, Crowe. Number Three Ma.vlatt, Taggart, Ackerauan, Kinsey, Iott, McConaha, Vereg,?e, Williams, Rerifleld. -Number Four R.

Herschel True blood and Vail entertained the audience in thie department of the water gamei H;ive Fancy Diving. In the fancy diving contest, there was a youngster about the size of a frog, named Rrsh Butler. He was the real thing in this line. The boy is about thirteen years old and displayed his ability by performing all the stunts of the older and perhaps more experienced shimmers. Ray Rogers and Richard Lackey also appealed to the crowd by i heir expert work. The others who appeared were: August Goebel. Howard Steinkamp, Stonehill Keates, Ross L;;ons and Roy Hobson. Assisting Mr. Vail in the exhibition of the various kinds of strokes were: Richard Lackey, Rush Butler, Ernest Moore. Ray Rogers and "Mike" Harrell, an Ea;tlham student. They Swam for Style. In the tweraty yard dash, no attempt was made by the contestants to show great speed. They swam more for style than time, but the pool was crossed in twelve 'seconds by Richard Lackey. Harrell won out , in .the distance plunge, not coming to the surface until thirty feet from the take off. Ross Lyons finished second. Hobson, Moore and Goebel also competed. One hundred yards were swum by Vail and Lackey as an exhibition. There was no intention of a race, but the pair sprinted the last twenty yeards, Lachey landing ahead. The distance was covered in 1:27. The under-water swim was won by Harrell. He covered about 0 feet, making a turn at theend of the pool. Keates finished second and Moore third. Goebel was an also swam.

FEAR FOB HEALTH OF KING EDWARD

Seems to Have Lost Interest In Things Which Used To Interest Him. ALSO LOSING HIS TEMPER

IN THIS RESPECT HE IS GROWING TO RESEMBLE MORE AND MORE HIS MOTHER, THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA.

By William True Hawthorne. . London, Feb. .20. Again is serious concern felt over the health of King Edward. His Majesty is still able to attend to his onerous duties, but it is noted by his intimates that he is much more easily fatigued than a year ago, and that he seems to have lost interest in many of the things which intensely interested him formerly. But what is regarded as an even more alarming symptom is that the king is growing irascible in temper. He is not always the "good fellow" which popular imagination pictures him. and during the past year be has often been 'grouchy" in the etreme. Resembles His Mother. In this respect it is remarked by old courtiers that the king is growing more and more to resemble his mother. The late Queen Victoria, despite her great kindness of heart and continual good deeds, had a temper which was not always kept in restraint and a tongue that was often caustic. And

when the queen was rn an ill-humor whoever was nearest at hand had to

suffer, perhaps one of the royal prin-

ces, perhaps the Prime Minister or perhaps a servant. The Queen was no respecter of persons. There is an old story of an occasion when Gladstone carried to the queen a bill for her Bignature. The measure did not meet with the queen's approval and she declared with great heat that she never would sign it. Demands Signature. "But Your Majesty," expostulated the great premier, "the bill has been passed by parliament, and you must sign it." Then the queen's wrath blazed to white heat. -Sir," she . declared, "I am the Queen of England, and no man can say must to me." "Madame," responded Gladstone quietly, "the parliament represents the people of England, and you must sign this bill." The queen signed the bill her throne would have been the price of refusal but it is declared that never afterward did she make any attempt to conceal her dislike of Gladstone. His Death a Calamity. We started, however, to discuss the health of King Edward. Statesmen recognize that the death of His Majesty at this time would be nothing short of a calamity to the British Empire, which is being held together by an exceedingly slender thread. The king's personal popularity, both at home and abroad, has accomplished more for the empire during the past half decade than all the statecraft and diplomacy of the several ministers. It remains one of the chief assets in home, colonial and foreign policy. To speak with perfect candor, the Prince of Wales, who would succeed to the throne in the event of King Edward's death, enjoys no great popularity, either at home or abroad. He isn't popular even with his own suite.

Yet the Prince of Wales means well, is of amiable disposition and high ideals, lacking entirely in those weaknesses which gave his father so much notoriety before he ascended the throne. He is wholly lacking in personal magnetIsm and makes no appeal to the imaginations of his future subjects. It must not be forgotten that the people of England are as much selfgoverning as are those of the United States. The monarchial form of government is maintained because of a sentimental attachment to the crown. Ask any British statesman what would be the result should that crown be worn by an unpopular sovereign, and he will only shake Ills head.
