The winning streak OF the Boys
club was broken last night after
having been extended 10 Is games
but it was no disgrace TO lose 10 the
Boston Boys club, for the Hub
team proved by far the fastest quin-
tet the locals had ever faced. Ref
cree Nate Avery. who has been
handling a number of college games
this year, said after the contest that
the Boston team was faster than
any of the college teams ne has
seen. The New Britain boys showed
their worth by holding this team TO
, one-point margin and hope to turn
the tide when they meet again in
Boston on March 10.

of the drill time now is being given
over to training of the gun crews and
fire control forces. This training now
is being done aboard the Allen. which
Is berthed at the Washington Navy
Yard, following her return from Nor.
folk, where she underwent an exten-
sive overhaul to put her in the best of
condition for service with the Atlantic
scouting fleet in the maneuvers this
Summer.
Comdr. Smith has laid down a pro-
gram for gun training which will give
each division two consecutive weeks
of drilling at the guns aboard the
ship, so that they may have a better
opportunity to train themselves and
become acquainted with the intricate
mechanism from the fire-control sta
tions to the trigger in the hands of
the gun pointers. The gun crews
have not been finally selected. but all
of the men are being tried i'm each
position, so that they will be finally
assigned 10 duties for which they
seem best fitted.
Navy yard workmen started last
week on the work of constructing an
indoor rifle gallery in the armory in
the Washington Navy Yard. so that
the men may show their keenness
with the rifle. 1t is probable. it was
said, that the range will be completed
by June /. and then firing squads will
begin practicing Immediately. The
officers of the battalion point out that
this firing will give them an oppor-
tunity of ascertaining who are the
best shots with the rifle, and from
these will be selected the gun pointers.

the weekly drills.
Lieut.. Harry J. Nichols, executive
officer of the battalion, pointed out
that during the new regime attend
ance at drills has been better than at
any time since the World War, more
than 100 men reporting in uniform for
drill each Monday night. The men
are given a full period of intensive
drilling, and once each month they are
given an athletic meet, which has
proved a great attraction not only to
the old-timers, but to the recruits who
are getting their first taste of naval
training.
The increase in division personnel
also will permit each division to have
a larger number of men on the annual
cruises than heretofore. and it is be.
'lieved that very few of the men will
be unable to go. All of them. it was
said, have expressed a desire to go.
but personal business sometimes inter
fcres with the plans.
There has been great demand for
places on the ship this Summer be
cause of the fact that target practice
will be held with the big guns aboard
the destroyer Allen. A keen spirit of
competition has grown up among the
members of the three divisions in their
gun training. to the end that each
