sOciation Of the District National Guard
has given Captain Edwards. president OF
the association. permission to order fifty
additional lockers and to arrange for
twenty-four more lights and more heat.
The lockers will be rented to members at
30 cents for whole year. certainly cheap
enough for each man to have a locker.
The gymnasium classes under the direc-
tion of Prof Koran are doing splendid

Light Infantry Team.
The Light Infantry basketball team
showed its strength last Wednesday when
it handily defeated the Washington Ath-
letic Club which made a runaway game
of II with the Crescents the week before.
II is GENERALLY believed that the Infantry
has the fastest team it has had since Il
came into the league several years ago.
Practice is Rad regularly by two teams
made up OF regulars and "subs." The
latter are all good players and will have
an opportunity 10 play in League games
Tierney has left the Infantry team to
play with Company \. First Battalion. Of
which he is regular member.
The Philadelphia National League team
said to be professional. has asked for n
game next month. The team will be ac-
commodated and date will be fixed next
week
The Infantrys rext game is scheduled
for December -. with the Government
Printing Office team.
Eastern tfhIetic club.
AT special meeting OF the board Of
"a
held last week. George Boyd manager OF
the basketball team. reported that his
teams share Of the receipts from the
games played in the Infantry Armory
would be only one-sIxih and as that did
not seem fair division the board prompt
ly decided 10 withdraw the team and no
titled the Infantry thst ii would not play
the game scheduled for last Wednesday
The resignation from the league was dated
December -. SO that the management had
plenty Of time TO arrange for another
game
The Easterns have undoubtedly one OF
the strongest teams in the city and the
games in which the team appeared in
former years. especially against the In
rantry, always drew he largest crowds of
the season. II Is unfortunate that some
could not have been made to
keep the team In the league and have the
admirers of the sport see the two cracks
come together in another championship
series.
Manager Boyd announces that the team
will keep up It's practice and will play
exhibition games In it's hall on + near
Second Street southeast, and to which
friends OF the team are invited without
charge. Games will be played Mondays
and Wednesdays Of each week. In al
dition 20 these the management will ar
range games with prominent out-of-tOwn
