SURPRISE IN CHURCH LEAGUE
Hanscom Park Methodists Defeat
First Methodist Team.
ONE TEAM STILL UNDEFEATED
Thjs week Promises 10 he Busy
one Among Amateur Basket
Ball Fivcs-New Team
Enters the Field.
Standing OF the Teams.

The defeat OF the First Methodists at the
hands of the Hanscom Park Methodists
last Tuesday was one OF the greatest sur
prises in the Church basket ball league.
Starting the season late the Hanscom
Parks have made wonderful strides ana
at present are considered one OF the
strongest fives In the league. Every
team in the organization has met defeat
with the exception OF the First Chris
tians The Christians have played only
the weaker teams but during the next
few weeks they are matched against two
OF the stronger fives.
Some of the Church league players are
among the best in the city with the
First Christians are the Weigle brothers,
having the reputation of being two Of
the most aggressive players in the town.
Evans at center also plays a strong game,
while Logan and Curtis, both new men,
are showing up in fine form. The Chris
tians have an advantage over the greater
number of other teams in that their play
ers are more experienced.
Another strong Team.
The First Methodists also have a strong
team. Miles and Hobson are two of the
best players in the league and II Is
through the playing of these men that the
Methodists are keeping in the fore part
of the race. Hobson 10 the smallest
player in the league and seems to have
a knack OF lodging At present he is
