MORE CLASS To
OUR BASKETBALL

That there are now at least four
basketball teams In Detroit OF strictly
first class Is an obvious conclusion
from the result of the game In the
Burroughs gymnasium wednesday
evening in which the Spaldings, in
their local debut. played the Burroughs
team TO a standstill and won out by
two points in the closing moments or
play.
Only a few years ago all the first
class basketball In the city was con-
fined to the local Y. NJ. c. A. and even
then that team was frequently de-
feated by state opponents. Then came
the ID. A. c. and its state champion
ship teams The Burroughs Is now
able to take care of about anything
outside Detroit, with a fair chance
against either d. A. c. or Y. M. G. A..
and the Spaldings are apparently a
shade better than the great shop
team.
The Riversides, Y. NJ. c. A. Seconds.
Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. and
Deltas are also in a class but very
little removed from the others men
toned.
Never before has Detroit enjoyed
the prospect OF so much high-class bas-
ketball as in the season now getting
into full swing.

BOSTON. Jan. Dan Kelly has de-
cided to retire from athletics. l think
Dan Is making a good move. The for
mer western flyer shows that he has
gradually fallen OF In his athletics
and champion. after he once loses
his enthusiasm for the game, has no
right to stick. Kelly was a fine cham
pion In spite OF all the knocks he re-
ceived over his 8 3.6 seconds record.
He is one of the best, and while many
Of us fasteners cannot believe his 100
yards record. still we have to take
our hats of to him In the broad jump
ing line.
A man who can jump over "a feet
is a real champion and he deserves
much praise. hope Dan will have
more success in his new profession
than he had in trying to make good
after his alleged 8 3-5 seconds record.

public is prematurely excited over

fellow never did anything startling be-

down now. Let him alone. Let him
tackle some of the second and third

patrick, of Northwestern university.
Evanston. H., came to Philadelphia
yesterday in search OF line
coach for the westerners for next
season and as a result the choice
seems to lie between four University
of Pennsylvania stars.
Dr. Kirkpatrick went at once to
Mike Murphy. and PENIS famous
trainer recommended four men to him,
Hollenback, Draper, Pauxtis and Zeig-
Ter. DR.. Kirkpatrick saw all OF these
men during the afternoon and is said
to have held out good tempting Of
fer.
Hollenback would probably accept
the position IL 1t should be offered to
him, for the Cincinnati proposition
which he had in view has fallen
through, Capt. Burch. of last falls

coach the Ohio boys next year.
