TWO TEAMS ARE TIED
Reds and Blues Have Each Won Three Games and Lost Two-Scores of the Games Already
 Played.

There were two more snappy games of basketball at the Athletic club last night, the Reds winning from the Whites by a score of 21 to 15 and the Blues from the Yelows. 16 to 9
 The winning teams deserved their vic tories, both playing more scientific games than their opponents. The Reds in par ticular played an exceedingly pretty game passing the ball all around their oppon- ents. The Blues played peculiar game, letting the Yellows do most of the ag- gressive work, but at critical moments getting in a few clever passes and goals therefrom.
 The Yellows were active enough, but somehow did not seem to hit the basket. The Whites were strong and aggressive but threw the ball too wild for success full goal throwing.
