next game scheduled for the team is with
the Corcoran Cadets. If the CAROLS ex-
pect to make a good showing against the
Cadets they will have to ginger up good
deal. The game with the Mount Pleasant
Athletic Club was not up to the standard.
The bowlers took a tumble last Wednes
day when they dropped two games to the
Saengerbund's crippled team. The team
bowled two games below the 700 mark, and
the third one, the game it won. only slight
ly above that figure. Everybody tumbled
in the work. 1t was simply an off night,
all around and FOR the Saengerbund, too
Notwithstanding they took two of the
three games. The team still has good
lead with twenty-five games won and eight
lost with percentage of .757, the Saenger-
bund standing .667 with twenty-five games
won and eleven lost. The race is very
much more interesting than it is given
credit for and the loss of a brace of games
to the Washington Athletic Club tomorrow
night would considerably affect the Cor
rolls standing.

| Athletic COrcOran Cadets.
With only two of its regular team in the
game with the Easterns last Tuesday even
| ing the Corcoran Cadets won a very credit
able victory. The game was fast and
| snappy throughout, there was but little
| passing, and the change about of the team
brought in more blocking which evidently
won the game. good mixture of pass
ing and blocking is necessary when play
| ing certain teams, especially such fast,
| clever teams as the unfortunate Easterns
| The team will now settle down to good,
| hard practice two or three times a week
1t was rumored that there was dissatis-
| faction among some of the players, but
| as there appears to be no reason for it
| there is evidently no truth in the report
Manager Edwards has secured good man

| of Pennsylvania. He is fast on his feet
and shows up good in practice. and will
| very likely be seen in the teams lineup in
| the next game scheduled
Davis sprained his ankle in practice last
| week, but hopes to be in form again 81 ort
! ly. He is holding down his new position
| at centre in great shape.
Clark and Collins have retired from the
| team. This is to be regretted, as they are
| both clever players. The Deacon" says
| he wants to give some of the new blood i
chance.
Zell. Rowland, and Moriarty will be
| played regularly at forward and it Will
| make combination hard to score against.
Heffner and HindIey keep up their usual
| good work. Boulay still has Cuban fever.
| but his playing is at all times very clever.
The Cadets Will play the Baltimore Y.
NJ. c. A. a return here on March 10 at the
| Infantry Armory and an interesting game
is expected The visitors will have Har-
| mon as centre. He is one of the cleverest
! players in that position to be found any
| where.
Light Infantry Athletics.
There is little activity In athletics at
| the Light Infantry Gymnasium outside of
that furnished by the basketball team and
even this feature will be dull during the
coming week because the cycle show will
occupy the playing field.
On March s the League and the team will
| take up its work again with a game be-
tween the soldiers and the Mount Pleasant
Athletic Club. Burnett leads the League
with thirty goals landed in the present Sc

this line, and his good eye and height have

one of the most valuable men on the team
Kendall has developed into one OF the most
reliable centres" in the League. He
plays clean ball and is at all times cool
and uses good judgment in his work.
Much to the regret OF his fellow players,
Jimmy McQuade, the clever" back'' of the
team, has retired from the game for the
rest Of the season as result OF a dislo-
