TWO EASY GAMES.
Y. m. C. A. Basket Ball Teams
Win HandiIy.
Stall WARTS ARE WCTORS
Regulars Defeat Fast Ingram Quint
by Score Of 80
to 10.

The basket ball teams, the StaIwarts
and Regulars both representing the Y.
NJ. c. A. won their games in the asso-
citation gymnasium last night. The
Stalwarts trimmed the Memorial A. c.
by the score Of % to 10. The Regulars
then defeated the fast Ingram quint
by the score of 80 to 10. Both games
were under the auspices of the City
League, in class A.
In both games the teams representing
the Y. NJ. c. A. had little difficulty in
winning their games, the result Of each
never being in doubt. The opening con-
test was the closest, the fast Memorial
quint putting up a hard game against
the Stalwarts. The second game was
more one-sided than the first one. but
despite this, was without doubt the
best of the two. In this contest the
team work and passing Of both teams
were good.
In the opening game German and
Almon. both wearing the colors Of the
Stalwarts. were easily the best play
ers The former, besides playing a fast
defensive game. put the ball into the
basket seven times, while the latter
made four goals from the floor.
For the Memorials Murphy and Dona-
hue played the best. Both played a
fast defensive game, and but for good
work the Y. NJ. c. A. lads would have
rolled up larger score. The lineup

The second game in which the Regulars
took Ingram into camp was the main at
traction of the evening. and we IT was
expected that the Y. NJ c. A. five would
win. but few thought the score would be

a ragged. listless game, and by the time

The Regulars played in true form. an
from the very beginning of the contest it
could easily be seen that they were too
much for the northeast lads. The team
work and passing was unusually good.
Frazier Hall and Walk for the Regu-
lars did the best work for their team.
The former made six goals. while Hal
and Walk are each credited with four
apiece. Most of Frazier's goals were
from difficult angles.
For Ingram, McCaffery did the best
work. The former Eastern High School
boy was here. there and everywhere al
the time. He broke up a good many trys
for baskets and prevented Y. NJ. c. A.
from making a larger score.

The Giants undoubtedly put the

York beat Pittsburg. Chicago beat

teams with more regularity than did

In Claude Hendrix the Pirates have

Hendrix can bat like an outfielder,

This was the emphatic statement of
the president of the Cubs yesterday in
reply to reports hat he was to be
connected with Fogel's charges that
the umpiring In the National league
was not honest during the season just
passed.
The talk about taking away fran
chises is puerile. foolish and silly. The
National league will not try to TAKE
way anybcdy's franchise and there
is not the slightest likelihood of its
doing go or trying to do SO. The MAJ
