PROVIDENCE.

The greatest game of basket ball that
was ever played in this section took place
last night between the North End Stars
and Turner'S in Company II armory. Both
teams went into the game with the deter
minaton to win. 1t was one of the clean
est played games and was devoid of the
slugging and tendencies to play foot ball
that has characterized the previous games.
Some time ago the Stars suffered defeat
at the hands of the Turner's, and with the
memory of this defeat still fresh in their
minds the Stars played with a vim and
determination that has seldom been wit
messed. The first half ended with bas-
ket to the credit of the Stars. During
the second half Steele, of the Turner's,
threw a basket for his team, tieing the
score. This half ended with the score
a tie, and when such is the case the rules
call for a continuance of play until either
side scores. The Stars, goaded by the
fear of defeat and encouraged by the
cheering of the spectators, now went into
the game for all that they were worth
and kept the ball around the Turner's
basket and took advantage of every OPP
portunity to try for a basket. After play
ing for nearly half an hour over time the
ball was passed to Captain Lewis, of the
Stars, who stood in the center of the hall.
With an open field and no one to harass
him. He threw a basket. 1t was one OF
the prettiest throws ever witnessed here.
Lewis was the hero of the game and the
crowd placed him on their shoulders and
carried him to his dressing room.
This evening the North End team will
play the Pittston team in Company II
armory.
