Basket Ball.

The P. A. c. basket ball team
played the crack first team of the
Yantacaws of Hackensack, February
IS, at the Armory, and received a
scar in the shape of a defeat that
will last them whole season. The
score was 40 to 80, which indicates
the erratic playing forced by the
dancing floor of the Armory, a place
wholly unfit for basket ball. The
first half resulted in score of 10 to
II, while the second made the total
40 to 80, not very creditable score.
The floor is wholly unfit to develop
the fine points of the game, which is
full of sharp halts, quick rushes and
rapid recoveries in relaying and pass
ing the ball Unless thoroughly &C
customed to the floor, no team could
make good progress. Speed is next
to impossible, with all the chances
favoring the home team, which is
used to the style of play demanded
by the peeled-onion surface. On a
more tenacious floor the P. A. {.
would turn the tables on the 4anta-
cans. The score:

Policeman J. c. Bum. Of the First pre-
cinct, won the fob match at the revolver

defeated Capt. Sheridan Ferree, for sew
eral years champion revolver shot Of the
District, Lieut. Alderman. Lieut.. Holt.
Sergt. Blshon. Private Atkinson, and
other crack shots OF the National Guard.
The match consisted Of twenty shots
fired at the standard American target re-
duced to twenty yards. The distance was
fifty feet, and the arm the .5S-caliher
Colts OF Smith & Wesson revolver is
sued to the regular army. The prize was
a gold fob. donated by members OF the
club. The design represented a miniature

out Of a possible 100 Lieut.. Holt made
50. There was some little excitement as
the members Of the club found that Bum
and Atkinson had tied for first place,
and an exciting second match between
the two vas anticipated.
At the last moment a rule OF the club
was recalled that handicapped Bum four
points. because he had won the cup on
four previous occasions. This cut his
actual score down to s., and the cup,
which he had never won before. was
given TO Atkinson for one month, when
he will be forced 10 dispute its possession
