TO by the v. NJ. &. A. Champions.
The unbeaten and apparently unbeat.
/ able Brattleboro Y. NJ. c. A. basket ball
team downed the Springfield, Mass,
| Training School Wednesday evening at the
armory, % to Z. The game of basket ball
had its origin at the training school and
that institution has always been represent
| ed by strong players. The Fitchburg
! Athletic club was scheduled to play here
and letter received Wednesday morning
announced that the team was coming A
message was received at II o'clock stating
| that the Fitchburg players could not leave.
Capt. Daniels used the long distance tele-
| phone and when the situation was ex-
| planned the Training school agreed to help
Brattleboro out of the predicament
The Training school players were large,
finely developed physical specimens, and
| thorough gentlemen. They played clean,
scientific game, but were not so agile as
the smaller opponents, and were also han
| dicapped by the slippery floor, which
showed the effects of waxing for the dance
last week.
In few seconds after the ball was in
play Capt. Daniels made long throw di-
rectly into the basket. The spectators
were fairly wild with enthusiasm, but a
few moments later showed their good will
toward the visitors by giving them SINH
lar ovation when Schumacher made the
basket and tied the score. Goodhues
throw from foul gave Springfield the lead,
but only for a short time. The first half
ended with a score of to > in Brattleboro's
favor Springfield was unable to make a
goal from field in the second half, and the
accurate throws of Daniels, Dunlevy and
Howe gave the home team IA more points.
The playing of Daniels and Dunlevy
throughout the evening was simply phe-
nOmenal, equally good in offensive and de-
fensve work, and their throws for baskets
were the best work ever seen in that line
at the armOry. Howe, as usual, was much
in evidence. Sanders and Cundff played
well, but had hard men as opponents. The
Springfield official, Mr.. Brown, drew the
lines rather fine in calling fouls, but each
team received the same kind of treatment.
Bratteboro has a basket ball team that
has license to play any organization in
the country, and Capt Daniels will ell
deavor to secure a game with one of the
strongest organizations in New England
Yale, New Britain, Springfield Y. NJ. c. A,
or one of the teams in the city league at
Worcester.

two games for one admission. The first
contest was between teams of boys nine to
- years, and resulted in a score of u to 0
in favor of the team captained by Charles
Stolte. The boys under Capt. Stoltes d.
rection played like veterans. The specta-
tors were greatly amused at the clever
work of Charles Dunlevy, aged 9, verta-
BILE lilliputian, who was hardly larger than
the ball.
The winning team included Charles
Stolte, Harry Conland Charles Dunlevy,
Arthur Hough and John Fenton. The
other team was Ralph Pettee Captain,
Frank Allen, Will Long, Fred Coleman,
Ernest Harris. Stolte and Dunlevy each
