Light Infantry's Easy Victory.

The game of basket ball played Saturday
night by the Washington Light Infantry
and the Potomac Boat Club teams proved
to be another walkover for the former, the
score being 80 to in its favor. The game
was played in the Light Infantry armory,
and was witnessed by a large audience.
The Light Infantry lads outpointed their
opponents in every detail of the game, their
passing and throwing being marvels of ac-
curacy and, in addition, their reach being
far superior, placed a handicap in front of
the Potomacs too difficult to overcome.

Speare pitched a splendid game for the
local team, holding the visitors down to six
hits, but his support was weak and went
to pieces in the eighth inning, when six
runs were chased over the plate. Every
thing was progressing splendidly for the
home team until this inning, but the climax
was so startling as to dumfound the spec

hearty good will for the success of the
home team. The victors were jublant over
the lucky outcome of the game, but the de-

spirit. The feature of the game was the
strike-out record of eleven secured by

beyond doubt the legality of his opin-
