We asked Andrews by wire whether
his figures. which have been repeated in
several annual editions. were correct,
and he wired back that they were. He
said he got Johnson's height from a
man who saw the negro measured. An
other authority who was asked was
Billy Recap, Of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, one Of the most careful fight
writer's in the country. He replied that
he got it from the man who took the
pictures Of the Johnson-Burns fight IN
Australia. December 26 Of last year. that
Johnson was feet inches tall. and

MILITARY LEAGUE
ADOPTS SCHEDULE
Basketball NoviceS Among
District Guardsmen Have
Chance to Prove Ability.

At a meeting of representatives Of
the companies and the officers of the
National Guard Athletic Association, in
the Guard ArlnOry last Friday evening,
plans were formally adopted for the
formation Of a basketball league TO take
the place of the defmct Military
League, and TO be known as the Ma
tional Guard Athletic Association Bias
ketbaH League. composed of teams rep
resenting companies in the Guard.
Ii is the idea of the promoters of the
new organization to form a league com
posed Of players who have had little
or no experience at the game. and to
exclude all so-called stars who have
played in leagues in past seasons. For
the past few months interest in the
gymnasium has been tagging to such an
extent that the adVisablity of rOntinu-
ing the work was seriously considered
by the officer in charge. The formation
of the basketball league is, according to
the promoters, the first step toward 2
reawakening Of the interest Of the
guardsmen in gymnasium work. 1t has
been discovered that the reason for
many Of the men to neglect the gym
nasfum was the fact that there were SO
many experienced athletes that the
novices had little show.
For this reason the star players were
excluded from the league.
Capt. u. Spencer Bliss, Of the QUAR-
ter1naster Department. was unanimous
| ~ chosen president Of the new organiza-
ltion. with the following delegates to rep
resent the teams in the league: +. For
ester. Company E, First Regiment; j
E Dennis, Company G. First Regiment
/ II. Stull. Company II. First Regiment
and e She'd. Company c, First Regi'
ment.
Applications nave been received from
| several other teams in the guard, the
| Naval Reserves and Hospital Corps.
! A schedule Of twenty-four games has
| been arranged, to be played on Wednes-
day and Friday evenings. in the guard
gymnasium. rbe first game will be
played next Wednesday between Com
panies Z and G.
