champions of the teams gathered there in the tournament. By the score of 23 to 25 Douglas lost to Metlakatla and by 10 to 25 to Wran- gell. The first game was close clear to the finish and very exciting, first one team and then the other being iE the lead. The second game with Wrangell was a hard played game throughout, the Wrangell team on ac- count of it's greater familiarity with the hall were able to score, frequent ly from long range basket throwing and although closely checked by the Douglas players when the ball came within their territory, they failed to intercept the 30 and 40-foot throws of the home team.
 In speaking of the trip, Superin- tendent. Mitchell expressed himself well pleased with the results. A good time was shown all along the line, he said, and everyone was fair ly treated. The games were all we'll refereed and our boys received some valuable experience which they need ed, he said.
