CARROLL TEAM NOW
IN FIRST PLACE
Leads in Washington City
League by Winning From
>StaIWart Five.

Carroll Institute basket ball quint went
into first place in the Washington City
League last night by defeating the fast
Stalwart five in one-sided contest, score
A to IT. The game was played In the
gymnasium Of the Young Mems Christian
Association.
The game was one Of the best played
in the circuit this season despite the fact
that the Tenth Streeters had a walk
away. Carroll showed unusually good
and proved conclusively that It will be
strong contender for the championship
Of the league. A better balanced team
could hardly be gathered to gether from
among the local goal tossers.
The defensive playing of both teams
was remarkably clever. although the In
stitute lads had shade the better of the
argument from the very beginning of the
game. The teamwork of both fves was
good, and some Of the passing and goal
shooting was the best ever seen in the
association gymnasium.
Carroll was, unusually lucky when it
came to shooting for the baskets. More
than half of. it's trys weres from difficult
angles and good distance from the bas-
kets. but a majority Of them were true
and went into the baskets. The Stall
parently easy chances went wild.
The Stalwarts fought hard all through
the contest and deserve lot of credit
for their pluck, although it was apparent
from the very beginning Of the game
that Carroll would win. The Y. NJ. c. A.
boys played better during the last Ave
minutes of play than at any time during
the battle, but the squirt was too late
to do any good, as Carroll had too big a
lead to overcome.
The defensive playing of Beaulac and
Shalin of Carroll was easily the feature
of the game. Downey and Croghan, too
deserve a lot of credit for their fine goal
shooting. The former put the ball into
the basket eight times and the latter five
times. The lineup and summary fol-

When the subject was preached some

The American League was in desperate

we're members Of the circuit whose funds
were depleted. Only too well members of
the American League circuit know how
close the hammer fell to the nail when
John ]. McGraw made the famous christ

almost at the very moment that Mcoraw
made reference TO the troubles Of the cir-
cult the Athletics began to play better
ball, and with that Improvement the
American League began to be more sue
