Sporting Editor Of The Times:

In your article in Sundays Times
giving an account OF the discussion
over the decision of the board in regard
TO the game between the Corcoran
Cadet Corps and y. NJ. C. A. basket
bali teams <On Nov. s, al their meeting
on Friday last IL seems to those who
follow the sport very closely that the
board In its deliberations overlooked
the most important question at issue
if the game is to be maintained on
solid basis
| refer to the standing of the referee
IN the game. This gentleman is ap-
pointed by the league in good faith, and
scheduled for the different games. He
is supposed to referee that game to the
best of his ability and judgment, ac-
cording 10 his Interpretation of the
rules The board who appointed him
tc this position are supposed. or at least,
ought TO be expected. to sanction and
approve his decisions whatever they
may be. and accept them as right, or
dismiss him from the position if he
t. not qualified to fill it. but in no case
should they reverse the decision of
referee. II certainly seems a bad move
for the sport.
II the decision OF the referee is not
upheld, what is the use of having a
referee at all? He certainly will not
put his heart IN his work, nor care
how his decisions are made, simply be-
cause he knows that any decision he
may make can and will be changed
upon the protest OF some disgruntled
players, or managers of the various
teams concerned, and consequently he
becomes but a flgure-head and will be
useless on the floor, and a target for
criticism from the hot-headed players
and a disgusting sight 10 the spectators.
The result of the decision in question
is very apparent in the games played
since that time Nov. 81 There is a
protest before each game from the cap
tain before the teams line up for action.
This necessarily takes the interest out
of the game before IL has started. The
players cannot, and as a matter of fact.
DO not give their best efforts. because
they do not feel sure the game will be
counted If won by them; this, together
with the feeling OF insecurity of the
referee in regard to his backing tends
10 break up the game and Kill interest.
just at this time IL would seem that
4 concerted movement on the part OF
all concerned in the affairs and we'll
being OF the league should be to per
petuate the=sport and place IL on
ganized this season is the best the
city has ever had. the teams are more
evenly matched than ever before and

LEWIS IS CONFIDENT
OF VICTORY TONIGHT
Has Improved His Defense for Scroggs'
Special Benefit and Can Still
Hit Hard.

Danny Lewis is a confident young
man in discussing his fight in Baltimore
tonight before the NOnpareil Athletic
Club with Harry Scroggs. Lewis has
been working hard with Billy Peyton.
and in his boxing has shown an
improved defense. He says he Will
keep his head and display the same
Improvement when he enters the ring
There has been ample evidence in
past fights that Danny could hit hard
enough, but his style OF handling him
self made IL necessary for him TO take
great deal Of punishment in order
to give any, and this has counted
against him. His manager, Ristie
Leonard. has been devoting especial
attention TO this weakness, and is as con-
ndent as his charge that ne will deliver
the goods tonight The Washington
scrapper will be in the wind-up Of a
good program OF four elght-round
bouts. and should he win tonight will
have no trouble in getting other i'm
portant engagements In Baltimore
Lewis and Leonard will leave this
afternoon over the Baltimore and Ohio
at o'clock In she Monumental city
they will meet Ristie Leonard's brother.

morning that he was on his way from

basketball team writes. explaining the
ground on which he protested and on
which the Capital City League directors
took the game from the CorcOran Cadets
and gave it to the Y. VI. c. A His
letter is as follows:
Sporting Editor of The Times:
After reading your article in today s
paper in regard TO the protested Cor
coran-Y. VI. c. A. game OF November s,
/ find it does not give the protested
play. 1t occurred IN this manner: While
in the act Of throwing a goal j was
fouled by a Corcoran player, in spite OF
which the ball went into the basket.
The referee would not allow the goal.
which should have couDsed according TO
section 81. Basketball Guide.
/ disputed his decision and asked him
to stop the game so ! could show him
the rule book, which he refused to do
The assistant manager Of our team then
came on the floor with the book, but
was ordered off by the referee. This
goal would have won the game, as II
ended in tie.
Throughout the game the decisions OF
the referee were unfair 10 US and were
greeted by Kisses from the crowd, even
Corcoran rOOters.
As your paper does all II can 10 pro-
mote athletics in the District, 1 wish
you would give these full particulars of
the game
Respectfully,
