The success of the Indoor football tournament at Madison Square Garden this week has resulted in talk of the formation of an indoor league. Plans have been offered and at a meeting on Satuntay night all details will be ar- ranged for a league to be composed of teams from New York, Boston, Phila- delphia and Buffalo, The game played in the Garden last night was between two of the smaller organizations, It was not the drawing card the contest between the Syracuse and New York teams was on Monday night. The Knickerbocker Club, of New York, defeated the Warlow A. C., of Whitestone, by a score of 12 to 6, It was a well-fought game and was well worth the cheers of the 3,000 spectators. An added attraction to the tournament will be offered to-night. While the date was not originally scheduled, the man- agement has felt so much encourage- ment over the success of its efforts that in deference to the earnest solici- tation of the players and many patrons of the games, the Garden has been secured for an extra night and a pro- gramme of football excellence arranged. Two games will be played, one be- tween the Emmets and Kickhams, under old Irish rules, and the other between the All-Syracuse team, made up chiefly of old college stars, and a picked eleven from the New Yorks and the winning team of last night.
