ran Cadets and the Baltimore y. VI. c. A.

ers have arranged 10 go go with the Ca
diets to the Oriole town.
The Baltimoreans have arranged TO play
the return game here with the Corcorans
on February II. This game will undoubt-
ediy be of great interest to local admirers
of the sport, as the Y. NJ. G. a. is con-
ceded to be one of the strongest teams in
the country. it having defeated all the best
teams in the East including the crack
teams representing Baltimore City Col
lege, Quaker Wheelmen, and Brooklyn y.
81 c. A. 1t suffered but one defeat last
year.
The Corcorans were in good shape for
the game arranged to be played on Fri
day night with the Quaker City Wheelmen,
| of Philadelphia, and would have given the
| visitors a good argument for the game,
| and it was unfortunate that illness in the
| ranks of the Quakers made a postpone
ment necessary. Captain Edwards hopes
| to arrange for a game here later in the
| month.
The Corcorans trip North year or two
| ago is pleasantly remembered by the
| teams they visited. Their popularity
| has caused a demand for games with them.
| and Captain Edwards has received invi-
tations to play his team in New York.
| Philadelphia. Brooklyn, and Baltimore. He
has also received a round dozen applica-
tions for games to be played here and
| hopes to be able to secure the National
| Guard Armory gymnasium in which to
play some of the games. as the Light In
fantry Armory has its dates nearly all
| taken up for league games and Infantry
drills.

| round player, has again taken up the
