 The town seems to have gone wild over basket ball, or at least anyone who visited the armory Saturday even- ing would have thought so for it was filled to the utmost capacity, up stairs and down, and it is estimated that nearly 1000 were present to wit ness the second game for the cham pionship of the borough between Co. Ks and the T. A. B. teams. The first game a week ago resulted in tie, while Saturday evenings game was won by Go. K by g. score of to g. The military boys were the first to appear on the floor for practice, and were greeted with applause. The T. A. B.'s appeared little later accom- panied by their mascot. The Yellow Kid was impersonated by Master Cox. His goat did not take kindly to so much publicity and soon retired from the floor, but the Yellow Kid remain ed in a prominent position until the game was over and then he divested himself of his Mother Hubbard, as the mascot business had not proved sue cess. The game was a hustling fast one from beginning to finish, and at times rather rough. The umpire did not see all the fouls, but did some of them, and Co. K scored two points on fouls, while the T. A. B.'s only got one, although they made three attempts, The game at the latter part of the l first half was interrupted and stopped | for time by reason of a counter eX- citement of a fight in one corner of the | armory, where Officer White was hav- | ing a tustle with Thomas Doonan. | There was quite little excitement for a few minutes, when the young man was hustled out of the aI-mory by some | of his friends and the game was re- | stunned. At the close of the first half | the score was to 2. The second half resulted in Co. K getting another goal from the floor, and the T. A. B, s | scored one point on foul. There was great cheering when the game was over The umpires were Morgan of New Haven for the T. A. B.'s and John Clarke for Go. K. Dennis O'Brien was | referee.
