| To-day there are at least four strong teams
| anxious for the honor of aying the
| champions for the championship.
/ The great stumbling block seems 10
| be the difficulty OF arranging for and agree
ing upon q date.
| The c. A. c. management in at least
| one instance rest ricted a willing rival
| team TO a certain limit of time in which q
challenge could be made. As that notice
| seems to have been a very short one, TOO
short 10 have received proper consideration
| and action it would be a nagnanimous act
on the part of The champions to extend
| the time limit aud consider in the order
4 of their receipt the claims of rival teams
for a game for the ehampio nship and then
I fix the date far enough ahead. but not uD-
| reasonably far. and give the players a
| chauc to properly learn their several parts.
WHO MAY HAVE THE HONOR.
| Again, il is urged that as there are sew
eral strong teams who claim a right TO
play the championship game with the C.
A. c.. that these teams come together and
| ARA nge for a series OF games among them
selves. and have it agreed. of course, that
the winner OF the series be the one to be
entitled to have the honor OF playing for
! the championship a'h iIe SuNtt iiophy
| which goes with IL.
Unless some such arrangement as this Is
! made provided there continues to be
i more than one aspirant fer the honor or
J kI.ockiRg the chip OFF COiunbia's shoulder,
there would always be a chance for dis
satisfaction and claim that the strongest
| team had not been pitted against the
! champions.
/ Line up. boys, and arrange this matter
at once.
A NEW RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.
| For several weeks football has been un-
der discussion among the members of the
/ Potomac Boat Club.
The club has IN its IA nks number OF
good football players. several OF whom are
| playing basket bail with some of the
| league teams, aud these players are now
! organizing a team to play game OF loot
! bail with the Columbia Athletics, and
| negotiations are pending looking to that
| end.
The strong rivalry between these two
clubs on the water would be easily trans
ported to The land sports and game
! between them woVld undoubtedly draw
OFT large crowd. ! many it iscstimated
that such a game won.i bc a great holiday
dra wing card, say for Thanksgiving day
and that the crowd would equal in size
the biggest da of ofthelobg-to-be-reinemb
played on and made n fixture for recent
Thanksgiving days.
DISTRICT BAsKBT- BALL LEAGUE.
The teams comprising the District Bas-
ket-ball League, start in this year with
an understanding as to the nature and
makeup OF the playing suits and if any
of the teams play IN clothes contrary to
those agreed upon, they do so to their
own disadvantage.
1t WAS never intended that suits as
thick and foruidlblc as football suits
should be worn in The game and these
have been happily barred by the league.
The canvas suit adopted with necessary
padding only, is proper for the protection
OF players, Lot against rough and brutal
playing, because this will not be tolerated
TINS year, but as protection against acci-
dental falls and stunihies and unavoidable
scrimmages.
The schedule just issued by the league will
be strictly adhered to- and failure OF
teams to be on hand at time aud place
announced. unless otherwise agreed upon
with proper notice TO all, viii rrsnlt in
their losing game by default The series
Will undoubtedly be an interesting one.
