Lovers Of Basket Ball Practfcing on
the New Game.
The lovers Of basket ball Of the c. A. c.
are at it every Monday and Thursday after
noon after $50 o'clock. Inspector Cross
ley is hard at work perfecting his men for
the next ladies' day, which will take place
some time in the near future The
brother act in which Messrs Sewell, Ross
and CrosSley taker part promises to be a
good one and several new features have
been developed. 4. e. Bayne has started
in gymnastic work for the first time and
promises to turn out WELL He is the high
est forward somersault man now in the
club. Howard Allen and Dave Reynolds
can be seen nightly on the floor and Allen
promises to make a fine all-around athlete
while Reynolds is doing well on the flying
ring. Arthur McElhone is practicing
steadily on the high leap and promises to
make strong bid for the gymnasium rec
ords. If Royce Hough, the present holder
of the record, wants to keep it he will have
to get himself into great deal better con-
dition than he is in now. Last summer ii
was this very same reason that prevented
him showing up well at the games in Penn
sylvania. There are others who will also
do well to look out. "Midge" Ross is show
ing up fine as top-mounter in the brother
act, and Creig and Harmon are also doing
well in the practice work.

will do next year.. Prof. Sims insists that
they will come back to their old love and
help to make the corking team that is
promised for next year. OF course the &.
A. c. people claim that they will not desert
them, but the Y. Nj. c. A. will offer very
strong bait next year This will be in the
shape of the facilities which Instructor
Sims will have to offer his boys for the
better convenience in playing the game A

cinder running track will also be laid out,
and inside of IL will be located the foot ball
field. Instructor Sims expects to have a
QUOT ground. and some half dozen OF tennis
courts will also be laid out Altogether 1t

doubt, be the means of bringing back to the
association many of its former members
who left it to join other clubs where they
could have plenty of room for track ath-
letics The cost of such field will be very
expensive, and some idea may be gained of
the money needed when Atlantic Park cost
