ATHLETES AGAIN BUSY
WITH INDOOR CONTESTS
COrcOran Cadets Tie UreIl Rifles for First Position in
National Guard Basketball League-COmment
on Local Sports

Last week marked the resumption of
indoor athletic games i'm the District.
and the revival of indoor baseball,
which for a long time has been practi-
cally dead. A series OF games has been
arranged between the Young Men S
Christian Association and Carroll Insti-
tute teams. The Y. NJ. c. A. team so
far outclassed the others In the District
Indoor Baseball League last year that
all interest was lost in the sport, and
the organization was not reorganized
this season. The first game Of this Sc
ries was played last night.
Both basketball leagues took a rest
during the holiday season and no games
were played until last Tuesday.
Corcorans Move Up.
In the National Guard Basketball
League the Corcoran Cadet Corps team
has tied the Urell Rifles for first place.
Each team has won five games and lost
one. and it is a toss-up as TO which
is the better. with the First Battalion
team rating as good as either. The
Athletic Association five has also to be
reckoned with. as it shows great inn
provement with each game. Prof. JOS
eph Koran. the physical director of the
Guard. VINO mas the a a DoN . IA
charge. and Captain Clum seem to be
working wonders with them.
One disagreeable feature has crept into
the work Of the players since the holt
days 1t is roughness of play, although
undoubtedly unintentional AS the season
grows older and the race wakes closer,
the boys put their hearts more in their
work and play harder. BY doing this
they often commit fouls unintentionally
and mar the games. Colonel Brett, the
president Of the league, has sent notice
to Orlando Ross, the official referee,
warning him against this roughness
and a determined effort Will be made 70
suppress it, The attendance at the
games in the National Guard League
has greatly increased, which testihes
to the popularity of the sport. The
new rules of the league, which do away
with the old boundary line, and playing
an opponent, seem to have met with the
approval of the public.

Entertaining Features.

Pleasant and entertaining features
which have been introduced between
the halves are wrestling and boxing
matches. In each instance evenly
matched men have been put on the mat
and canvas and good contests have peeh
the result. Prof. Joseph Koran is now
assisted in his physical culture work
by Kid Sullivan, the Washington
pugflist. who hammered Joe Burnstein
until he quit in nine rounds, and VINO
recently put Sammy Meyers-who boast
ed of having been in over 25O fights
without receiving a knockout BLOWN
the land of dreams in the second round
OF what was scheduled to have been a
dfteen-round bout Sullivan is now
matched to fight Jimmy Briggs, the
Chelsea lad. who is hailed as a conner
IN the featherweight class. Briggs has
stalled of McGevern and several other
good men Under the tutelage of Kid
several Of the boys have developed into

Washington. is instructing the boys In
mat lessons. Mr. Mackey was up TO
within a week ago the welterweight
champion Of the South. but lost his
title 10 Frank Lynch. Of Baltimore. In
a bout held in the Monumental City.
Since the acquisition of Sullivan and
Mackey to the stan Of instructors, the
membership OF the athletic classes has
greatly increased. Ever class nlgft
there are now nearly twice as many
members as heretofore.
