season was in a suit Saturday night prac-
tiCing with the Regulars. II Allen gets
back in trim by the time the Georgetown
games are pulled of, the Regulars will
get a good man.
BY winning on Saturday night from
Carroll Institute the Y. NJ c. A. Regu-
lars clinched the pennant OF the Wash
ington City League. Both teams have
had to play their best to win from one
another. The Carroll team won only
one game out of the four that were
played.
Martin. of Georgetown. and Campbell,
Of Virginia, had it hot and heavy in the
game that was played Friday night Both
of the players were on the go from the
time the whistle blew until the bell rang.
Campbell had a shade the better of the
contest, but Martin took his medicine like
a man.
The fight in the National Guard League
lies between Company Fl and the Corco-
ran Cadets. Both of these teams out
class the other quints, and It will be a
toss-up as to which will win the next
game.
The Georgetown Props are having trou-
BILE in finding any team that is willing to
meet them in their own gymnasium. The
PrepS have g3me with Eastern High
School and this promises to be one of the
best that has been played this year in
scholastic circles
The NJ. A. c. team which played the
Georgetown varsity last week, gave the
followers of basketball a sight that was
good to behold. Both teams were off
color, but played the game. and the
whirlwind finish that Georgetown un-
corked in the final half was enough to set
an of the basketball bees buzzing.

there will be no more wedding out done.

copal lads have a capable catcher. The
infield will be Davidson on first, Small at
second. Crane in the short field, and Stone
at the third sack. AS all these men are
veterans, Coach Green will have no trouble
with the infeld. The outer gardens will
be taken care of by Hayden, c. Lock-
wood, Robinson. Rist, and Powatan. AS
all OF these men are fast and are good
