The announcement of the Memorial
Athletic Club. Of holding its annual anna
teur wrestling tournament on February
has stirred up quite a little action
among the local mat artists.
Practically all the clubs and colleges
tons OF entering teams. and from all in
dications the matches promise to be the
most hotly contested ones held in this
city for Years.
Gallaudet has quite a squad hard at
work and these boys usually show up
to an advantage in all meets that they
enter in this branch of athletics. while
at the Y. NJ. c. A. Carroll Institute and
National Guard gymnasium all hands are
working hard in order to land the team
trophy for their respective organizations.
Joe Turner promises to spring a sur
prise as to the settlement Of some of
the classes. He has had some OF his
boys hard at work all winter and as no
one doubts Turner's ability as a wrestling
instructor these boys will probably be
strong contenders at the weights that
they enter.
The Memorial contingent is the largest
squad of bone twisters that has been
handled in the history Of the club. This
hustling aggregation has won the local
championship for the past, three years,
and from all indications this will be their
banner one, and while not claiming
honors before hand. they promise to
make things exceedingly interesting for
their competitors.
Roanoke is likely 10 lose its baseball
team Unless the Roanoke fans come
through with a little more financial sup
port. the Virginia League will lose Roa-
noke. This statement comes from one
close in touch with the affairs OF the
Roanoke club.
When the announcement of the sale of
Buck PRESLEY to Norfolk was made. the
fans began to grow worried. and the
officials of the club called a meeting of
those interested in the affairs OF tho
Roanoke Baseball Association. II was
decided to canvass the town. and IL il
appeared that a little more financial sup
port would be Forthcoming to again place
a team In the league.
But unless the club Is made self-sup-
porting Roanoke will be minus a league
ball club this year. And, according to
one who should know the situation, Roa-
noke will not have a ball club.
The Good Shepherd basketball quint
will hook up with the Aloysius five
Saturday night in the Gonzaga gym
nasium. This game should prove to be
a good one, as the Good Shepherds de-
feated the National Guard quint last
night.
Tonight the AIoysius five will meet the
R. R. Y. NJ. c. A. outfit in the Gonzaga
gymnasium, and the railroaders expect
to turn the tables on the churchmen. The
game will start promptly at O'CLOCK.
Cy Flynn. brother OF Jim Flynn, the
Pueblo fireman. who is well known to
followers OF local boxing, Will make
Washington his home. Flynn has opened
a pool parlor on the Avenue, taking over
the old Maryland Athletic Club. Flynn
expects to stage several smokers in the
near future for the benefit Of the club
members.
