The Naval Academy basket ball team
plays the big game of it's season to-
morrow. meeting the Yale quint at An
napolis. The Sailors have been playing
Pennsylvania in their most important
contest of the indoor schedule, but the
Quakers this season refused date.
Those in charge of sports at Annapolis
were glad to get Yale as their most
worthy opponent.
The Navy has played four games, and
won them all, though it had narrow
escape in one contest during the holt
days. 1t opened the season with a one
sided victory over the Johns Hopkins
University Independents and shortly
after that defeated St. Johns of An
napolis in a well played game. During
the flag end of the holidays the City
College of New York visited Annapolis
and the result came near being disas-
trous for the Sailors, they won by a
margin of only one point-24 to %.
Wednesday of this week George Wash
ington went to Annapolis and was
treated to a decisive beating, scoring
only three goals from the floor.
Nays real chance for comparison
with the big Quints comes with the
game tomorrow. Yale always is we'll
up among the leaders in intercollegiate
basket ball. and the Sailors figure to
gain considerable distinction by reason
of the victory they hope to win.

CHESS CLUBS IN TIE.
No Decision Reached in Match Be
tween Local Bodies.

The great match between Washing
tons two leading chess clubs, the
Washington Chess and Whist Club and
the Capital City Chess Club ~as played
last night in the rooms of the latter
organization, and proved in every re-
spect memorable battle. With the
score to 8 in favor of the Washington
Chess and Whist Club. Stephenson of
that club. with the exchange and
pawn ahead, made one of those mex
plicable oversights to which not even
the greatest masters are immune, lost
a clear rock and the game. This unex-
pected victory rendered the match
drawn BATTLE to 4--and it is safe to
say that local fans have never seen so
intense or interesting a match. Later
on a return match will be played at
the Washington Chess and Whist Club.
Following is a summary of the play

After losing the first game of their
match with the Westons last night in
the District League the Royals came
back in great style in the second and
third. winning the last two contests
by big margins. Pop Halleys team
scored only 43s pins in its opening
game, but in the second and third reg
lstered 595 and 605. There was not
much to the match after Halley's play
ers got warmed up to their work.
Earl Lewis was high man for the
Royals and Pratt for the Westons. The
former got a count of 30 in his first
set-to, but in the second and third
registered $50 and 13S. Pratt rolled
12l, 11S and 115 for set of 354. Car
roll and Haley got totals of $40 or
more for the Royals. Halley's games
were 1o4, 121' and 115, and CarrolPs

Next season will be the most pros
porous the Washington base ball club
has experienced in several years. in the
opinion of President BENJAMIN S. Minor.
In 1916 the books of the club showed a
balance on the right side of the ledger
of about $4,000. and President Minor
believes the net earnings of the club
this year will greatly exceed that fig
ure. In discussing the outlook for base
ball in general and the local club in
particular. Mr.. Minor today said
With one exception. every club in
the American League drew larger
crowds last year than in 1915, and there
are good reasons for anticipating that
still further advances will be made in
the approaching season. The one eX-
ception referred to was Boston. and 1t
fell but little behind the attendance
mark of the year before
evidence is at hand that interest in
base ball everywhere is reviving. and
the gratifying attendance figures for
the American League last season can
not be attributed solely to the close
race which developed. although that
undoubtedly was a factor. No reason
Is apparent why inc eiSSS-iN''iiNN 49,,
year should not be even greater than
in-1916. and should another close strug-
gle for the pennant be Witnessed it
would be no surprise to see new high
record for attendance established.
II think the prospects of the Wash
fngton club exceedingly bright With
six of the other teams il was con-
tender until within very few weeks
of the end of the campaign. and IL VIII
open the coming season stronger anu

one which started last April. Leonard

not appear to be a poor batter by any
means Smith did enough timely mt
ting to justify hope of an even better
showing by him, and ii seems 70 be
generally agreed that Rice is natural

That President Minors optimism re-
garding the prospects of the club is
shared by the other stockholders was
made evident at their annual meeting
Tuesday. when ii was voted to pass a
dividend and apply the protts OF last
season to the Indebtedness of the club.
Mr. Minor said he had not found an
opportunity to examine the new con-
tracts, which recently arrived. but had
been assured they were an improve
ment over the old-form documents,
which were held to have been lacking
in mutually. He said the contracts
