The Conshohocken Basket Ball team
will open the Interstate League sea-son
on Saturday evening when they
day Penn Wheelmen at Natatorium
Hall. Philadelphia.
The Interstate League held an ini-
•niiaiit meeting on Wednesday even-
•ng at the Tannhauser Wheelmen, rep-resentatives
being present from Con-shohocken,
Hancock, Penn Wheelmen,
Tannhauser Wheelmen, QermantOWO
Y. M. C. A.. Mlllville. Mercer County,
Penn Treaty and Philadelphia Wheel-men.
The most Important question Of Ihe
evening wasthat of living the contracts
if some of the players Who have been
.laimed by two or more teams. As in
' , case of Bothesby, who signed a
contract to play with for both the
Penn Wheelmen nnd Philadelphia
Wheelmen teams early iu the season,
mere were several other players In
similar positions, nnd it has been left
io committee to decide as to which
club the said players belong.
The way in which things looked thuc
evening nt the meeting It is nearly an
assured thing that the circuit, if pos-smle
will bo enlarged by the addition
of two or more clubs. The Men. r
County and Penn Treaty teams were
admitted as affiliated members to the
league, and as the Philadelphia Wheel-men
are in the same class as the two
former ones, the circuit stands a good
i bance ofenlarglng.
