Nutmegs and Vikings Hot on Trail of Victory from the Kenilworths and Ploneers This Evening. Another big crowd is expected at the basketball games in the Y. M. C. A. gym this evening, when two contests that have much bearing on the league championship will Dbe staged. In the opening clash between the Kenilworths and the Nutmegs, the hoys from the North End will make a strong bid to garner the hon- ors, and as the Kenilworths have been meeting with much stronger op- position than earlier in the season, the followers of the green sweatered lads are hopeful of victory. The Piopeers who by their recent defeat of the Sovereign's block aggre- zation have, jumped into a tie for the championship, will encounter the Vik- ings who have yet to win a game. The Swedish athletes have however shown | much improvement in their play and have forced all opponents to top speed of late.

It is expected also that the commission will grant the request. It is expected also that the comumission will grant the request that the major leagues cannot draft a player until he had played on a Class AA club for more than one season. The Class AA circuits are more than eclated with the concessions which have heen granted by the ¢om- rission and it develops that the most important of all is the permission granted to Secretary John H.
