In the first place, the Yankees
and Aloysius lads assumed they
were the best teams in the city. The
Yankees got away with their first
game against the Aloysius lads. win
ming by three points.
Then the Aioysius lads defeated
the Yankees In a holly contested en-.
eagement by q single point. In the
meantime, "Smutty" James Grace
A. c. lads walloped the Aloysians in
the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium and
then arranged for game with the
Yankees which will be played tomor-
row In the Central Coliseum.
The other might the Knights Of
Columbus five. which organized late
in the season. went after the
Aioysians and handed them a SUE
prising trimming by a score Of Is
to -. This means another engage
ment and possibly two for these
teams.
The Yankees and Aloysius play
ers have arranged to settle their
argument on March 16 In the
Ryan gymnasium at Georgetown
University. Through the courtesy
Of tho Hilltop authorities the
teams obtained the gymnasium.
Two years ago the teams met
there In Q deciding game, which
the Yankees won.
The Yankees appeared to be going
back until they played the Vaga.
bond team at Annapolis, Nd, the
other night and ran up a 48 to 20
score on the team which gave the
crack Naval Academy five a tight
run early in the season.
From indications the Yankees have
struck their stride and will be hard

play their best basketball against
the downtown men.
The Grace A. G. players tomorrow
are expected to give the Yankee
men q stiff engagement and II they

ing the Grace players and eliminat.
ing them from consideration for
championship honors az far as the
Yankees are concerned.
1t is announced today that Off
cials for the coming Yankee-Aloysius
game have been agreed upon. The
men have been drawn from Balti.
more and Washington and were
agreed upon by both teams without
dissent.
With four teams appearing to
be on even terms from records
and scores made this season, IL
has been suggested that next sea
son o league be formed ut the
start Of the campaign with an.
other club In order to determine
the title here. 1t Is probable that
the suggestion will be made to
four or five teams by several men
interested In forming an independ.
ent league here next season.
In this connection 1t is pointed out
that there are several teams In ad.
dition to those already named which
appear to be well-balanced enough
90 form another league.
From an analysis of the records
Of Washington teams made against
Baltimore clubs 1t ia apparent that
the Monumental City men are
stronger for the reason that they
play in leagues and have the best
sort Of competition all season long
stepping out of the league engage
ments for out-of-town competition
every little while.
Neither the Yankees nor Aloysius
men have had any sort Of con-
sistent opposition from teams in
Washington and the engagements
with tho Caseys and Grace players
have been more in the nature Of
surprises than anything else.
1t IL true that the Casey five Is
formidable aggregation and has
won q number of first class con-
tests, but II IL doubtful IL the team
will class in the long run with the
Yankees.
The contests in the next two
weeks are sure to engage the atten-
ton Of q host Of fans and will
make for some spirited competition.
Tomorrow's game Is expected to be
we'll attended while the March 16
contest on the Hilltop Is sure to
draw q capacity house.
