tors, mi any of whom Were ladies, the mo st
hutly contested game of the basketball ex-
hibitiun series was played last night in the
Infantry Arnory, between the Infantry and
Eastern Athletic Club teams, and was Won
by the former by Score OF . 10 l.
\ Lack of knowledge of the new rules, and
n disposition on both sides to play fast
ball, resulted in somewhat more than
ordinarily rough game, and by no means the
class "T game intended by the league TO
he played this season. With Il fuller knowl-
edge Of the new rules before the season
begins the teams will be able To play
game that Will be enjoyable alike TO
spectators and players,
The Infantry team was handicapped by
the lack of four OF its pla yers, bat Havcns.
Burnett, Irwin, and McCathran proved TO
be capable substitutes.
Two free throws were allowed, but no
goals resulted from them.
Burnett, OF the Infantry, made the two
Goais scored for his side, and Fred Raah
made one for the Easterns. j. S. Robin

The second football game of the inter
class series of Georgetown College came
off yesterday afternoon between the classes
of 81 and '9S, and when the referees

to 0 in favor OF '9S.
The game was a decided contrast to
that of last Sunday between the freshmen
and sOphoInores, as IL was long drawn
out, tame as is possible for u football game
To be, and Inarred from the beginning with
unnecessary disputes and considerable slug
ging.
a most unfortunate accident occurred
in the first half. Delany, 81, left half,
while mixed up in scrinnmage, had his
collar bone fractured. The injury was
not serious, however, as the plucky half

O'Leary, '9S, was knocked out on three
different occasions, but resumed play each
time. Two players We're ruled off the
field for slugging, SO altogether the game
was not a pretty one to look at. There
was n good sized crowd in attendance, but
the weather was almost too warm for tn c

was very little roofing.

BLAME THE REFEREE.
Centrals Lost n Close Game to the
Maryland AgriculturaliSts.

The football team OF Central High School
played close and exciting game with
Maryland Agricultural College yesterday
afternoon, at College Station, Nd. The
game was arranged on very short notice,
capt. jolly receiving telegram, asking
him to play, yesterday morning.
The good game the high school boys put
up was a surprise to every enc and although
they were defeated. it locked very much like
the game was lost to them through the
partiality OF the referee. In the first half,
Capt. Jolly made several splendid runs
and also scored the touchdown, from which
goal was kicked.
Cabrera of W. A. c., also made a bril-
liant furty-yard run and touchdown, but
the try for goal was u fcilure, making the
score ut the end of first half G-4 i'll favor
of Central.
In the second half neither side scored
and as it was almost too dark to see the
ball the Central team insisted that the
game be called. The referee refused and
upon his awarding NJ. A. c. the benefit of
Il decision on downs another delay was
caused. The referee was firlp, however,
and a few moments later Lewis of NJ. A.
C. was pushed through center for touch
down. and goal was kicked making the
final score 1916 favor of NJ. A. c.

A BALLAD OF srHE BIKE.

No antidote could soOthe, sustain
The fever in my burning breast;
On every detail-lamp and chain
l dwelt till 1 could find no rest,
And, lest the malady should strike
My yearning, tottering brain,
finally bought bran new bike,
And learned to ride amain.
A fiend upon the wheel grew,
And soon acquired each cycling feat;
l scorched, we gods, simply flew
Adown the crowded street;
The number manned l never knew
! rocked of neither limb nor life,
But of the victims not few
l counted in the strife.
Oh, those were thrilling times. indeed,
Talk not of battles stern array
For horror mount the silent stecd
And madly plunge into the fray:
Nor man, nor child, nor woman heed
Swoop down upon them unaware,
Nor slacken once thy lightning speed,
But leave them dying there.
Alas! that joys like these should stop,
As oft in life they do;
Alas. that should fall kerflop-
MY tire was punctured. tool
Right at the feet of mister Cop
Who forthwith run me in,
And there took another drop,
For I was touched for ten

Prince, those happy days are ended,
My silent steed stands idle, rusted:
The puncture hasn't yet been mende,l.

One of tho vagaries of Memory.

A child of American parents was born
tn Spain, and although the language OF
the family was English, she learned to
speak Spanish huontly. She then TO.
turned to America and went into board.
ing school where French was tho only
language spoken. OF course hearing no
Spanish, the child gradually seemed to for
got it. Her knowledge of French was per-
feet and that she used rs we'll as English.
When she became On elderly lady, hor
health failed her, and she sank into con-
dition Of physical and mental weakness.
After time her attendants observed that
she seemed not to understand anything
that was spoken in English, but conversed
In French with ease, and comprehended
whatever was said to her In that tongue.
At last she lapsed into q long interval OF
semioonsoiousness, during which sho I'm.
derstood nothing. During the last days
OF her life she suddenly rallied, and her
command of Spanish came back to her, SO
that she talked fuently In 1t and thor
oughly understood it. AS case of mental
lapse and popularity of memory, this is
considered quito worthy OF note.--New
York Ledger.
