1t looks as if the chances of pulling
off the deciding game for the basketball
championship of the District between
the Corcoran Cadets and Carroll Insti-
tute are slim.
Representatives of both teams have
conferred over the ACCESSIBILITY Of play
ing the third game of the series and
cannot come to an agreement. Carroll
Institute first wanted the game to take
place in the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION gymnasium. but the Corcorans
would not agree to that hall, saying
that II was too small and that the Car
rolls, who have often played there this
year. are familiar with il. while the
COrcoTans have never played there and
would be under q disadvantage.
Capt. c. z. Edwards manager Of the
COrcOrans, proposed Washington Light
Infantry armory as the scene of the de-
Gliding battle but insisted that the Car
rolls stand the responsibility for the
rent of the hall for that night and even

were the challenged team. To this James

Complicated. indeed. Is the story of
two amateur baseball teams of Wash
ington. both of which until few days
ago were saddled with the important
name of Young Eagles.
The original Young Eagles had won
several games this season, and were
well advanced on the road to fame In
amateur baseball circles. when-horror
of horrors-the discovery was made that
their name had been stolen by un-
scrupulous contemporaries, who re-
ceived challenges addressed to the only
and original Young Eagles. and lost
several games. The original Young
Eagles came to the conclusion that the
Young Eagles had no right TO the title
of Young Eagles. and the Young Eagles
challenged the Young Eagles to q game
of ball. the team losing to drop the
name of Young Eagles.
Fierce Struggle
A few days ago eighteen Young
Eagles averaging eleven years of age
lined up on the common, rolled up their
sleeves. and prepared for the struggle
OF their lives. WheI noses were count
ed after the close of the long-to-be-re-
membered contest, it was found that
the 1OunR Eagles naQ scored sixteen
runs TO fourteen. made by the Young
Eagles. None of the spectators, who
were moved TO no small degree of en-
thusiasm by the game. appeared 10
know where they were at, and several
Of the players were of the same befud-
died condition CO mind. AS no chess
master or other person equally capable
of deciding seemingly impossible argu-
ments was on hand, a committee Of five
of the older spectators was selected 10
decide which of the teams bearing the
same name had won.
A Solemn Moment
With as much solemnity as II Presi-
dent were being impeached. it was de-
cided that the original Young Eagles
had defeated the Young Eagles. who
had stolen their name. and the latter
agreed TO drop their title and play I'M
