Co. swamped C-, B. & Q. to the tune of 24 to 9, making the sixth defeat for the railroad men—how ever their spirits are not dampened, and they expect to make a much bet ter showing the second half of the season. In the first game Captain Venning, of the Black and White bunch, show ed bis masterful engineering of the team by keeping the fighting spirit np to the very last second of play, and McQuoid who has become so popular as the accurate "shot" rolled In seven more marks on his record. For the Hulskamp team, Hassett led the list of basketgetters, with four. "Steve"' ha« always played guard before, and his work at forward shows he is an *n round player. Captain Sheldon played his usual good floor game. Second Game. fn the second game there were many "time-out" calls for men who were momentarily Incapacitated, but the damage done was in each case only slight. Each man on the railroad team played hard and deserves commenda tion. The M. R. P. men were lack ing in team work as Is the usual case, but the three front men, aided by long passes from the backs, each ran in a lot of good shots. It is claimed that Captain Paul King can get three times •s many shots at the ring as any man on the floor lo the league, unless It be Venning, for he seems to be every where at once, and his solitaire team wojfc Is about all they have. Harring ton and Murray were accurate on the close shots they were allowed, and Knapp and Schmidt at guard were al-jM. R. P. Co ways on the job. The game between C., B. A Q. 5- r. .-tea Ft? kk W.
