TONIGHT THEY STRUGGLE.
A Big Athletic Event at the Armory
The Progra mme.


The final preparations for the grand
basket ball meet at the Armory this even
ing under the auspices of the \. NJ. {. A.,
were finished yesterday. W. II. Lewis,
who has been working hard 10 make the
meet success. took rest last night and
had the satisfaction of looking upon d
carefully prepared programme that IN
cludes other interesting events than the
series of basket ball games. Mr.. Lewis
said last night that the first event would
be called at exactly o'clock. This Will
give an opportunity 10 see the Eallard
Athletic Club and the Seattle High School
basket bali teams try conclusions. Inc
High School boys are much lighter. but
they have players that are very quick ana
active. The great game of the evening Will
be between the 5. A. G. and Y. NJ. c. A.
regular basket bail teams The 5. a. {.
will not have Collins and Fredericks, but
in their places are Emmett Russell and
Dawson. two of the best players IN the
city The y NJ c. A team is good one.
but the S. A c. men have had better adj
Vantages on passing, and its members are
older men and Will probably play stead
Ter game.
The wrestling match between +. Leather
and Prof. Trenaman has fallen through,
owing to financial matters. Trenaman be-
ing in athletics for money did not care TO
wrestle unless he WAS paid for his work
The Y. NJ. G. a. did not feel able to meet
his terms. Mr.. Lewis said last night that
although Leather was out of condition he
would have wrestled.
The most novel thing on the programme
is the obstacle race. the only thing of its
kind ever given in the Armory. Following
are few things TO be done in the race
After starting from position on back on
floor, go through ladder, over I00-foot
horse. through barrels. run length of Ar
mory backwards under 500-foot net nailed
e.
Among those entered are Beck and Elanck.
Of the Y. NJ. e. A; Bruce and Whalley,
Y. NJ. c. A.. and Brewer, of the high
school. The big floor space reserved for
the game has been fenced in and there viii
be one row of reserved seats under the
gallery. Reserved seats are on sale at the
Seattle Hardware Company and the Ding
ley-Harwcke Company stores. Music will
he furnished by Wagners First Regiment
orchestra.
