TWO MATCHES PLAYED
IN Y.M.C.A. HAADBALL
Marcallino and St. John Win Their
Contests = Championship Is in
Doubt.

There were two matches played in
the Y. NJ. C. A. handball tournament
yesterday, and both of them were
won easily as far as actual scores go.
But the games were much closer than
the reports would indicate, and there
were many long rallies before some
OF the aces were decided.
Marcallino met Webster first and
the former managed to win by the
score of 81 to Z. The second game
was bit closer, and Webster got to
16 before Marcallino went out.
The other match was between
Ewaliko and st. John, and the lat
ter won out by scores of 81 to IL
and 81 to ~. The two games were
worth watching, and Ewaliko
brought off some really good shots
during the match. The play all
round, right through the tourna-
ment, has been fast, and some fine
exhibitions have been given.
The championship is still much In
doubt, as every player has to meet
every other man Up the competition.
The court suits the Y. NJ. C. A. men
well, although the Marines found
themselves much at sea when they
played the second half OF their match
on the gymnasium alley.
