AGGIES AND I'll"
DIVIDE HONORS
Aggies Win Boys Game
But Ell Paso Girls Defeat
College Opponents.

The high school basketball teams
went np to Mesilla Park on Saturday
and played the A & NJ college fives in
me afternoon. The boys game proved
very exciting. but the more accurate
basket throwing Of the Aggies gave
them a victory by a score Of 20 to p.
The Aggies pulled to the front in
scoring on foul throws. The Tigers had
fully as many foul throws as their op-
ponents, but whereas the Aggies hardly
missed a basket, the Tigers were rath-
err wobbly and scored only two. Aggies
gathered eight points by this means.
Play was fast throughout the game,
which was featured by hard, close
checking The Aggies had the advan-
tage Of their own floor and playing b.
daylight was rather new performance
for the Tigers.
Lieut. I. N. Swing, of the Fourth field
artillery, refereed the game and gave
satisfaction to both sides. The chief
kicking was over the crediting of a goal
to one of the Aggie forwards instead
of to a guard who claimed the honor.
In the game between the Hi" girls
and the girls Of the college. the FL
Pasoans were more fortunate and won,
to g. This game was quite as exeit-
ing as the others and both teams played
well.

united EMPIRES
BEAT SOLDIERS
10Th Infantry Loses, 2 to 0,
in Close, Hard Fought
Soccer Game.

United Empires now have the first
blood I'm the city championship series
with the 18th infantry. The first game.
played at Rio Grande park week ago,
resulted in a tie. one all. The same
teams met at McClOskey's field on Sum
day and this time the civilians won by
a score Of ? to 0, but only after very
strenuous battle.
The teams were well matched but the
Empires had what little luck there
was Art Spicer and Johnny Howe
kicked the two goals for the victorious
team. Bennett was back in the game,
despite a sore knee. and put up some
clever soccer.
Fans who attended had plenty OF ex-
element and there was more OF the
fancy stuff than has been usual Of
late. The attendance was very fair as
the hackers of the army team turned
out in force. They brought along a
volunteer orchestra and there was
lots of fun in the bleachers.
San Antonio Wants Series
The secretary of the San Antonio
league is in communication with the
officers OF the United Empires regard
ing a series OF games between all-star
elevens from FL Paso and San Antonio.
An all-star team from Ell Paso would
naturally include several Of the bril-
liant performers from Camp Cotton and
Fort Bliss. There are five teams in the
San Antonio league and they have some
remarkably good players Miami and
MoTenci are also negotiating for games
and the only obstacle is the matter of
heavy travelling expenses for the visit
ing teams.

THERE are now three postponed
games in the City Basketball
league. The officers of the circuit
should compel the teams to play out
the schedule hereafter. These post
pOnements do no good. If the teams
agree to play in the league, their
league engagements should take pre-
cedence over exhibition contests.
ONLY 81 Federal league ball play
ers have been signed up by the
major leagues. Probably ten more
are wanted. But what becomes of
the other 100 or more players who
were turned loose when baseball
peace was effected?

around Cincinnati are to have a
school of their own next winter.
Miller higgins, of the Cardinals, is

then how to get the best results from
amateur players. Cincinnati has a
