The classic of the basketball court—the Jewels against the Original Visitations — takes place tonight at Arcadia Hall, Halsey street near Broadway, Brooklyn. Jack Dempsey will throw out the ball.
The Visitations won the professional championship in 1932, and the Jewels took the title last year. Mac Kinsbrunner, Allie Shuckman, Matty Begovich, Mac Posnack, Rip Gerson and Georgie Slott will take the court for the Jewels. The game will be played for charity.
