GEORGETOWN VS.. Y. M. c. A.

The second game in the series between
the Central Y. n. c. \. and Georgetown
University teams to decide the basket
ball championship of the District, will be
played in the y. N. c. A gymnasium
next Wednesday evening. The outcome
of this game will determine whether a
third contest will be necessary to de-
eide the championship. inasmuch as
the Blue and Gray quint won the first
game by 4 margin of one goal In an ex-
ira period.
That these two teams are unusually
well matched is evident from the re-
suit of the first game, when the score
was tied at the end of the regular
period of play. The men of both quints
are determined to win the second game
which will probably be one of the hard
est of basketball matches of the year
The association five has already won
the championship of the Washington
City League. and they are confident that
they cannot only defeat the collegians
next Wednesday night, but that they can
also win the third game and thus OBJ
tain a clear title to the District cham
pionship.
Both teams have been going at an easy
pace since the first game and will be
in the best possible condition for next
Wednesdays contest

HAVE STRONG TEAM
Prospects Bright for Fast
Nine in Maryland City.

Frederick Md, March n-Since the
announcement several days ago that Ha-
gerstown will be represented by a semi
professional team baseball fans have
stirred things up in this city. a can
VaSS has been made. with the result that
prospects are fairly good for the reor-
ganization of the old athletic associa-
ton and another team.
The sport is handicapped by the alb
sence of Col. E. Austin Baughman, the
playing manager of last years cham
pionship team. Others. however, have
taken hold. and financial aid from prom
inent citizens has been promised. 1t is
understood that a further canvass win be
made, and if encouragement keeps up it
is almost certain that the city will have
another team.
Hagerstown is going ahead with it's
team. A new park is being built and
equipped Winchester, Va, and Waynes-
boro, Pa, are organizing. and Cham
bersburg, Pa, citizens are inclined to-
ward putting a paid team in the field.
There is also talk of forming a league
made up of the above cities.
Frederick fans are figuring on a sal
ary limit with four games each week.
They propose to give every subscriber of
a certain amount the privilege of Vot-
ing on matters relative to the organi-
zation. Athletic Park, with its fine equip
ment can be secured, and now all that
is needed is the team.
number of Frederick's old stars are
now in the city and are willing to sign
up. Among them are Dick Nallin. Cy
Malone, Sammy Peaster, and Hauver,
of Myersviile- Grove, another star play
CT, is at home in Middletown. Ray Nor
gan and Eddie Dugan would like to play
