inches.
Twenty-nine feet inches is fair
put of the 16-pound shot, and with more
practice in delivery J. S. Boxwell, the
winner at that distance should put it six
feet farther. K. T. Brooks, with 90 feet
IL inches, was Sc e nd, and is very
likely performer. None of the half dozen

Boxers and Wrestlers.
If the Boxwell brothers will take more
practice and learn few more holds they
will make clever wrestIers of themselves.
They are both strong and heavy and
should do well at the game.
J. 6. Boxwell won the all-around medal
by winning the 16-pound shot and the
heavyweight wrestling. The work of +.
]. Phillips in throwing the five possible
goals straight was clever ard should
make him a useful member of the bas

Washington Athletic Club.
The unfortunate ending of last weeks
game between the Washington A. c. and
Company A, First Battalion, which leaves
in doubt the actual winner of that con-
test. places the National Basketball
League in rather a peculiar position, and
the only way out of it Is to cancel this
game. as suggested by Captain Richards,
and have the teams meet again to settle
the disputed game.
The Washington A. c. team made
splendid showing in the league, and nm
ishes second. with five games won and
three lost, leaving out the disputed game.
1t was the great hope of Captain Rich
ards that his men would this season iand
a championship, and they started out like
winners until they ran up against the
Light Infantry. and then their hopes van
ished They did the next best thing by
beating out the Company A team, which
is one of the fastest new teams the local
game has had.
The Washingtons were strong in pass
ing, and their team work was also fea-
ture. Captain Richards, at right forward,
was always in the game, and piayea
fast game. He finishes second in the
standing of the league for goaling. having
twenty-eight field and four free goals TO
his credit: Moffitt, who plays star centre
made tweuty-one field and three free
goals.
The other members of the team are
Chism. Evans, and Garner, all OF. whoH1
