Field. The Capitalites had won the
first game with the Baltimore club by
a wide margin.
The addition of Mary Adams, for
mer Al-American forward, to the
Oriole lineup tightened up their of
fensive game and gave the visitors
the edge. Play was fast and each
team penetrated frequently to the op-
posing circle. but alert defensive work
kept down the scores.
Miss Adams drove the ball into the
net for both of Baltimore's goals Alice
Nicoll scored for Washington.
One of the outstanding features of
the game. in addition to the splendid
team work shown by both clubs. was
the exhibition of skillful cooperative
passing given by Mrs. Charles Boehm,
right wing. and Miss Adams, right
forward. in the visitors line. The two
worked together perfectly to carry the
ball through for the goals which
spelled victory.

BASKET PROS LOSE
MARSH, COLLEGIAN

The problem of finding center
looms all the larger for the Washing
ton club today, following the forced
return of Hayward Marsh to Topeka.
Kans Marsh. aged 20, and feet
. inches tall, was sent back Saturday
when the local managers found he
was excluded from the American
Basket Ball League.
The Kansan, who starred for the
undefeated Washburn College team IN
1925, can not play for the local club
since he has not yet finished his col
lege course.
Nothing was known of this when ne
reported for training, and his el1gi
bility was not questioned until George
j. Woodward, athletic director at
Washburn, wired to George Marshall
owner of the Washington club:
"A Mr.. c. n. Olson, claiming tc
represent the Washington profes
sional basket ball team, Is in our part
of the country tampering with col
legiate basket ball players and espe
cially with men who have two and
three years of college competition
left read the wire.
He has induced Marsh, one of our
star players, who is only sophomore
to go to Washington. Is there not
some agreement between organized
professional basket ball and the
National A A. U. regarding the
solicitation of men who have not
finished SCHOOL,"
The facts were verified by Capt
Ray Kennedy, who Immediately
bought Marsh's return ticket te
Topeka, Kans.
Practice was resumed by the Wash
ington club candidates at the Central
High School gymnasium this after
noon, and the first public practice will
be held at 8 o'clock tonight in the
Terminal Y. NJ. G. A. gymnasium.
