BASKET BALL DISPUTE
Both CUNTS Claim District
Supremacy-Series May
Decide Championship.

Georgetown's big squirt in intercol-
leSiate basket ball circles last week
and the y. NJ. c. A. CUNTS victory over
the CAROLS have put the goai-tossing
enthusiasts of this city all agog over
the prospects of another series OF
games between these two teams, such
as the three battles held two winters
ago. Inc Blue and Gray's announce
ment that it would disband at the end
of the present week by no means pre-
cludes the arranging of a set of cham
pionship battles, and 1t is also believed
that Supervisor Beckett of the Y. M. c..
A. will consent to the listing of such
events.
AS things stand at present 1T Is a
highly problematical subject as to
which of the two teams is the stronger.
The collegians have been playing an
erratic game all winter. and the same
may be said of the wearers Of the tri-
angle. However, the annexing Of both
the Baltimore Washington and the Dis
trict titles by the association team has
given this aggregation pretty sub
stantial claim on the Washington all
around championship. it's contentious in
this respect seeming even more weighty
than the iil1toppers' claim to the
honor by reason of conquests over Gal
I
mus the matter stands at present.
Followers of the two teams are making
all sorts of claims as to their relative
strength, and enthusiasts in general are
meeting. Two years ago the series be-
tween these two clubs resulted in ono
of the most closely contested CAM
paigns for basket ball glory ever seen
of circumstances at present there is
every reason to believe that three
games this winter would be every bit
as attractive.
the Georgetown quint is willing to ar
range dates without further delay, 50
that it is not at all impossible that the
series will be listed before the end OF
the present week. If they are played 1t
is likely that the first contest will take
place at the Arcade and the second at
the y. NJ. c. a. Should a third battle
be necessary this will also be moro likely
to be played at the Arcade than any
where else. as the floor Of the amusement
house is far more neutral than the one
in the association building.
Further information in regard to the
games will be awaited with expectation.
Their arrangement this week will mean
that the Hilltoppers will tighten up again
on their training. as they have an old
grudge to settle up with the association
team, for the \. NJ. c. \. at present
holds two victories to their one. AL
though the District series with Carroll
Institute is not yet complete, the cham
pionship is practically settled. and 1t IS
not thought that any delay will have to
be tolerated on account of this. Indeed,
it would not he surprising to see the
first of the big battles within a fort
night.
This evening Georgetown plays the Bal
timore City College team at the Arcade.
the game starting promptly at Q o'clock.
The visitors victory over the Mount ST.
Mary's quint. which team in turn de-
feated Baltimore Medical College, marks
a roller skating race will take place bs-
tween Moore, a local lad, and Donnelly.
the southern champion.
The two basket ball teams Will line up
