tation of their school in athletics by adj

A large attendance was attracted by the

An Attractive Sight.
Prior to the game Mr.. Joyce carried his
class of young ladies through an interest
ing athletic drill. and in connection with
Ted. Clifford, a 12-year-old boy, gave an
exhibition of tumbling and vaulting, the
work of the boy being remarkably clever.
The young ladies were attired in dark blue
or brown gymnasium suits, loose and
roomy, the trousers reaching to below their
knees, and they made most attractive ap-
pearance. The members of thu two basket
hall teams were attired in like manner
their hair unrestrained save by ribbons.
The colors of the Central team were white
and dark blue, while the Carroll Institute
team carried yellow and white.
Neither team had enjoyed as much prac-
tee as they had desired, but when play
began it soon became apparent that tbs,
team work of the Centrals was much more
uniform than that of their opponents.
The play of the CAROLS also indicated
lack Of practice together.
CAROLS Win the Toss.
The Centrals lost the toss the CAROLS
taking the western goal. The ball had been
in play but minute or two, when it was
cleverly caught by Miss Tyndall, who
aroused the enthusiastic cries of the Cen
trail contingent by throwing goal. Then the
ball Travelled from one end of the field to
the other across and back, for nearly the
length of the inning. when Miss Sanders
won the enthusiasm of the Central school
by making goal by a magnificent throw
from nearly the center of the field. The
first inning closed with the score to 0 in
favor of the Central team.
During the intermission the girls drew
on sweaters or coats and rested by throw
ing themselves on the floor. When play
commenced in the second inning Miss Shir-
ley Potter playing center, while Miss Bah
cock went to right forward. both teams
played with greater determination. But
while Miss Shirley Potter cleverly threw
a goal in less than half a minutes play
her team could not overcome the lead of
their opponents, who steadily increased
their score

Captain Retired, --''".t S'i'
When play was resumed in the third inn
ing, Miss Shirley Potter, the captain Of the
Carrots, was missing, her exertions in the
previous innings having compelled her TO
retire. Her place was taken by Miss Byrn
who returned to the game, and the CAROLS
played desperately to reduce their oppon-
ents lead Yet, desperately as they strug-
gled. the CAROLS could not successfully
Withstand the excellent team work of the
Central girls, Miss Tyndall throwing two
goals before the last inning closed one
from the center of the field, the final score
being II to =.

The members of each team played unex-
pectedly well, the catching and throwing
OF Miss Tyndall being excellent. The inter-
ference of Miss Gray was unusually clever.
while the great all-around work of Miss
Shirley Potter, captain of the CAROLS did
much to save her team from a shut-out
The work OF Miss Bryan was also very
good, as was that of Miss Sanders
Another Contest Probable
Another game will be played between The
two teams in the near future it is ex-
pected, and it is probable that it will be in
the afternoon or evening, when the young
ladies hope to have the boys of the high
schools present, as well as their friends in
general.
