Washington Y. II. c. a. quintet downed
/ Baltimore Central Y. NJ. c. AS five here
/ last night by the score of % TO 10. before
a crowd OF 500 enthusiastic partisan root
ers. More than $50 persons braved the
storm and accompanied the crack Monu-
mental City team. fully expecting to be
rewarded with a victory.
/ The game was bit rough. and several
times Hix-up threatened. but the boys
Of both teams were so Jealous 20 keep
on the floor that tempers we're curbed in
! the nick Of time
Washington won by superior team work
and more accurate shooting Jones. Greg
han, and Hubbard scored ali the points
/ George Reyes made his first appearance
/ in a basketball uniform for several
weeks and was assigned the job Of keep
ing tabs on Kreiger. whom, It viii be
remembered. made q runaway race Of
the last game in Baltimore. putting his
team in the lead and finally landing Il
winner That Reyes was equal TO the
task is shown By Kreiger's total Of Two.
and both OF these we're scored By the big
fellow with a Washington man clinging
/ 10 his back.
Three Goals for Fry.
Fry was the big smoke for the visitors.
1 especially during the first ten minutes OF
play, when he seemed 10 be in about
eight places al one and at the right
time. for three clever goals came in quick
succession; also a free toss after Fowler
had foUIed
Tho game opened by Krieger gong
down for the count with a straight finger
10 the eye. II looked for a minute as II
his lamp had gone out for keeps. but he
stuck 10 his task. and managed 10 keep
GoiE-; untH things looked brighter To-
ward the end OF the game he was able
70 lccate the basket for a couple OF
goa s.
Fredericks became hot under the Pic
cadiliy. and struck a FitzsimmOns atti-
tude until the thought dawned upon him
that one punch would have been good
night and out of the game The punch
was never delivered.
Referee Hughes o. n.
The half closed Is 10 in favor OF the
home team. Referee Hughes left the
floor in just as good shape as when he
entered Not single decision was cues
toned This speaks wen for Hughes
Jones landed the first seal for Wash
ingtCn In the second period after two
minutes Of play. and then TIE psoA -,;iick- (
ened- Clever passing stunts py members
Of both teams brought the crowd 10 It's
feet time and again At one period the I
score was as close as . 70 = In favor
Of the home team. but CroEhau. Jones. /
and Hubbard got busy. and soon put the
game on ice. The visitors worked with (
a vengeance to tie the score. but their
Efforts we're unavaiiing. The Washington /
backs frightened I'D Ike The proverbial I
clam. every man vas covered. and when 4
the hnal bell rang q mighty shout arose !
Physical Director Beckett was probably 1
the happiest man in the place. He had /
not forgotten the. previous game in Bal /
umore, when big Krieger and the "bazeo !
band caused his team TO hit The t0bOg- /
gan.
Fine game. worth the price. and every /
body satisfied was the popular verdict.
