SPORTS.

The Baltimore Athletic Club was
the scene of the organization of the
Army and Navy Basket Ball League
of Maryland. The league is made up
OF team from each of the following
camps: Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
Edgewood Arsenal, Curtis Bay, Ever
green Hospital. Fort McHenry, Camp
Holabird. Reina Mercedes (training
ship from Annapolis) and Camp

Camp Meade is represented by the
Base Hospital team. which has so
far made a good record, with three
victories and one defeat. This one
defeat was received at the hands Of
the boys from the Reina Mercedes.
The victories are two from Fort Nc
Henry and one from Evergreen Hos
pital.
The first victory was at Evergreen
Hospital, when the Meade boys won
out by a score of 80 to 81. For the
Meade team, Ford, Gaul and Kinkle-
stein were the leading lights. For
Evergreen Hospital. Andrews and
Brauer led the scoring. Solomon of
Meade also did some good work for
the Evergreen Hospital, when, in the
last half, he received a ball and, see
ing that his goal was SO far away,
he concluded it would be easier to
put 1t in the Evergreen basket, which
he promptly did, much to the enjoy
ment OF the spectators. which. by the
way. were largely rooters for the
home team. But they needed 1t. SO
we should worry. The lineup was
as follows:
Meade-Gaul. right forward. four

Next in line Is the one defeat at
the hands of the Reina Mercedes. at
Annapolis. This game was played
at the Bladen street armory. on the
large gym" floor there. In fact. It
the floors that the Meade team had
been using that 1t completely upset
their style of playing: however the
Meade boys stuck together and fought
to the very last. This kept the game
interesting. in spite Of the fact that
the naval bows won by 80 points. The
one outstanding feature Of the game
was the clean, open playing which
continued throughout the whole
game For Meade, Gaul. Ashman and
Williams led the scoring; Finklestein.
Williams and Dunton were put 10

forwards and center. Mercer and Ben
