severest handicap that could be placed

Basket Ball.

The Cardinal Hiawatha basket ball
team won it's first intercity game at home
Saturday night, when it trimmed the
Dunbar quint from the Monumental city
by the score of % to Is. The Dunbar
boys arrived in Washington fresh from
a victory over the strong intercollegiate
team of Philadelphia in Baltimore Fri
day night and fully expected to duplicate
their winning here in Washington. The
first half ended in favor of the visitors
by a score of to Z, but in the second
half of the game the home boys let loose
and threw nine baskets to two fed goals
and four fouls by their opponents. The
Dunbar players were much heavier than
the boys on the Hiawatha quint. but this
was not enough to Offset the speed of the
lighter players.
Henderson and Holland shot fewer
goals. but the passing and speed of these
two meant much to the winners. Mabry
and Miller We're in form, but. as the game
! progressed, grew weak in spots. Lewis
did not play up to his usual standard but
was in the game at all times and scored
more goals than anybody else in the
contest. The Webb brothers were the best
for the visiting aggregation in field play.
while Jones scored six out of nine
chances from the foul line. Only four
field goals were thrown by the visitors
yet. considering the strange court, they
did we'll.
1t was proved that the Haiwatha team

1t is notat all unlikely that one or two
deals will be pulled off here during the
meeting. Chicago and New York are
dickering. it Is said. and it is more than
probable that some sort of swap will
be made while the rival managers are
here. Cleveland, too. is willing TO
listen to reason and while it is by no
means confirmed that Lajoie may be
found with some other team next season.
it is an open secret that New York would
welcome him and is willing to make
rather convincing offer for the big
Frenchman.
Griffith. of course. is not in the market
He announced some time ago that he
would stand pat with the material he has
on hand But for all that he is not being
overlooked by the other managers who
have hopes of building up their teams
There have been innumerable inquiries
from his rivals to whether he has any
youngsters that he wants to get rid of.
There appear to be several players whom
Griffith drafted wanted by some of the
other clubs. Especially is this true OF
Connolly and Wellchonce, the two hard
hitting outfielders who were secured from
the Montreal and Nashville clubs, re-
Spectively.
But to all these overtures Griffith
makes the reply that he will not make
another change in his roster until after
the training season. He proposes to look
at these players before he makes any
disposition Of them, and 1t already seems
an assured fact that many of them will
be carried through the season if they
give any signs of being promising. The

after May 10. but he is sure to carry
maximum number if he has promising
youngsters, as is indicated by the boost
he hears about them.

will Schaefer be there but Altrock is also
to report Griffith notified Altrock to
