Carroll institute.
The second defeat of. the season admin
istered by the Eastern Athletic Club to
the Carroll Institute basketball tsam last
Wednesday was as decisive as it was un-
expected. It is certainly discouraging to
the management. for the chances are that
1t will have to be satisfied with something
lower than fourth place in the League
standing when the season closes April 20,
by the way, with game between this
team and Central High School. The only
other game the team has to play is with

championship of lS9S-99 The only set OF
games remaining to be played by the team

the latter. Nbout a month ago the team
had considerable more of lead over the
Saengerbund than it Will finish with. The
Saengers made up the deficiency, and II
the schedule had week or two longer 10
run there is no telling but what the result
might have been reversed. The race has
| been an interesting one and the season S
bowling will undoubtedly increase the in
terest in an already very popular sport.

Queer WhccImcn.
The basketball team representing the
Queer Wheelmen has shown such decided
improvement in its work during the past
two months. and has won such decided
victories from strong teams that 1t is no
longer looked upon as an easy thing
upon which other teams may fatten their
averages.
Burgess has right along played a strong
game at enemy's goal and his goalng and
passing have been the features of several
recent games; Campbell and Kaufman
have been clever as forwards and with
Lotus al centre" have helped the team
to make its good showing.
O'Connor and SchwinghammeT play well
together as backs" and their passing has
kept down the score against them on nu-
merous occasions, and Saers at home goal
has played fast, clever defencve game.
The team now stands very good chance
of finishing in fourth place The only
ployed is with the CAROLS for April l.,
and this, like the former games between
these teams. will be hotly contested. as
they are well matched and play the same
style OF game. o. p. SCHMIDT.
