MILITARY BASKETBALL.

The showing of the Ambulance Corps
in its game Monday night with Com
pany X was a great surprise to the fol-
lowers of this league. This team has
improved fifty per cent since the begin
ming of the season. All of their men
were novices at the game when they en-
tered a team in the league.
Company KS showing in the Monday
night game was somewhat OF disap-
pointment. They seem to lack some of
the spirit they showed in the early games.
They have several splendid goal tossers
on the team. but do not work together
as they should.
The game Monday next between Com
pany II and Company CorcoransD,
should be a hummer. Both teams are
fighting hard for the lead, and this game
will have much to do with deciding who
are the champions in this league. Both
teams are hard at work preparing for
the game.
In addition to the basketball game at
the National Guard gymnasium Monday
night. there will be an athletic exhibition
by some of the best talent in this vicinity.
under the direction of Profs. Koran and
Ross.
The First Battalion team Friday night
showed much improved form. The real
star OF this contest was Oliveri, Of the
Battalion team. His covering up and
following OF the ball at all times was
splendid. McElfresh, the other guard OF
the same team, also played good de-
fensire game.
It Is expected that the season in this
league win end about the sth or sth of
March. h y. sTUIL-

Business will not likely enter a relay
team ip the Georgetown meet, though
several individuals will enter other events
under the school name.
Eastern's victory over Western yester-
day just about winds up the high school
series. Eastern's next game will be with
the Cathedral School, next Friday at
TCnnallytown.
Among the fielding candidates for the
Business nine. Wood is expected to make
good showing. Last year Wood came
out near the end of the season and played
steady game during practice.
In case a good second baseman shows
UP among the Business candidates, Capt
Dodge will fill the position of short stop
Dodge plays a good infeld game, and
will in such an emergency fill UP the
only noticeable gap in the Stenographers'
lineup.
There is a surprising lack of sprinting
material at Central for the spring games
Both Fisher and Cullom are barred
through graduation with the February
class and until Fritz Reuter- removes his
deficiencies, the o Streeters will be prac-
tically without a single experienced short
sprint man.
In BoteIer and Armstrong the Dark
Blue and White have as good a battery
foundation as has been found in the
local schools for many a year. Boteler
has the reach. strength, and swing of
veteran and possesses control of a very
deceptive overland ball that is hard to
judge. He and Armstrong, considered
by many to be as reliable, are pretty sure
to come in at the seasons end as all-high
school selections.
The management OF the Central track
team is engaged in correspondence with
the Staunton Military Academy of
Staunton. Va, incident to the arrange
ment for a dual meet to be held this
spring, either here or at Staunton.
Should Tome Institute not have an ath-
letic meet this year. the CentraIites may
look about for new fields to conquer.
They will send a relay team to the
Pennsylvania University's relay carnival
at Philadelphia, and will in all probability
send men to the Columbia University
game in New York in May.

GALLAUDET TRIMS
MARYLAND QUINT
Battiste Plays Fine Game at
Center for Winners.

GaIlaudet College attested her basket
ball supremacy over Maryland AEFicul-
turaI College by completely outclassing
the cadets in stubbornly contested
game yesterday afternoon at the Aggies'
gymnasium, Berwyn. Gallaudet, 81; NJ.
\. c., q.
Both quints started the game on even
terms, and were not able to score for
fully five minutes after the starting
whistle, owing to tight coverings, but
Shipley broke the ice for the Aggies, and
Capt Arras followed with a goal for the
Buff and Blue quint.
For a time the Marylanders were in
the lead. but weakened toward the end,
GalIandet coming out on top, 3 TO IS,
at the end of the first half.
The second half showed better playing
and lesser roughness by both teams.
However. the Aggies were unable to cope
with GaIlaudefs superior teamwork and
lightning-like passes.
Indian" Battiste played a star game
at centetr for the victors, his almost
faultIess directing of the ball helping
the brilliant teamwork Of Gallaudet
greatly. Capt Arras was a tower of
strength at goal shooting, while DURAN
repeatedly spoiled the Marylanders'
chances for field goals by his sharp
guarding. In fact. the Buff and Blue
players showed better form against their
old-time rivals than the previous IS to 90
victory vat the Gallaudet gymnasium.
For the College Park lads Capt. Wood
ward exceIled at his position and in Gag
ing the ball from fouls, while GeoltZ
made the most field goals.

NEW PARK FOR RED SoX.
C. r.. Taylor Purchases Large Tract
of Land in Back Bay.

Boston, Feb. lit is generally under
stood that the purchase yesterday by
Gen. Charles r. Taylor of a large tract
of land in the Back Bay means that the
Boston American League baseball club,
of which his son, John 1. Taylor, is presi-
dent, will have a new park within. a year
or two.
From time to time it has been reported
that Ithe Red Sox would have new
grounds at Forest Hills, with concrete
and steel grand stands and bleachers. but
it is evident that the Taylors concluded
a location nearer the center of the city
would be more profitable. ~ -

ROWING COACH FOR YALE.
Fred PIaisted. Veteran Oarsman, En-
gagged to Assist John Kennedy,


New Haven Conn, Feb. 11.-Yale has
taken a radical step in its rowing policy
in engaging a rowing coach. Fred
PIaisted, veteran .oarsman. has lust
been secured by the university navy. He
arrived to-day and was given charge of
the class crew candidates at the boat
house. Paisted is regarded as one of the
best authorities on rowing in America.
Capt Frost. of the Yale crew, said to-
night. in speaking of his engagement.
''PIaisted was engaged to assist John
Kennedy in coaching the Yale crews, Ha
has been placed in charge of the class
oarsmen, who have not received as nuch
attention as the navy would like to give
them. His ideas on stroke will harmoniz.
exactly with those of Mr.. Kennedy, undo-
whose direction he will coach. He will
remain with the oarsmen all the season
His engagement. however, is only for
this year"

In one of the most thrilling basketball
games ever witnesses in the Young Mems
Christian Association gymnasium, the
Carroll Institute basketball quint pulled
out victorious over the Y. NJ. C. "A. Royers
by the tune of . to 20
At the start of the contest, the game
was far from being mild. continual foul
ing by both teams somewhat marring the
evenings sport. but altogether the game
was very fast affair from the blow OF
the whistle to the sound of the gong.
Carroll forged ahead OF their younger
ribls on the jump. but this lead was
but short lived. for the Y. NJ. c. \.
lads soon found themselves and came
back with rush. bringing the score up
to IL to in favor OF the Tenth street
five. Hall tied up the score with pretty
toss from the right side of the floor which
set the two teams on edge. BY short passes
and accurate goal tossing. the Associa-
ton team brought their total up to IL.
while the Carroll total only amounted to
l., the first half ending as Hall tossed a
neat free toss on McCarthys foul
The second half was one of the most
stubbornIy fought periods of play during
the game. First one team would lead by
few points only to have their lead cut
down with a shot from difficult angle.
During this half, Mccarthy was ruled
out of the game for rough work by Ref
cree Hughes. Wilkerson taking his place
at center. An easy shot by Mccarthy put
the Carroll team in the lead and free
toss by Collinsworth put the game away
for the Carroll crew. the ROvers making
desperate efforts to tie up the game, but
falling short by points.

Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-10-05

Life is too short to give up all to
business and nothing to pleasure
and rest Too many people defraud
their stomach, head and heart until
they have made a competency.
When they expect to enjoy the
pleasures of life they are generally
too old, or their greed for money
has dried up all the we'll springs of
their being and they are incapable
of enjoyment. Devote your bust
ness hours to business and your
leisure hours to innocent pleasure
and wholesome amusement and
cultivation of such things will
make life pleasant.
