field in the basket ball game at the Elliot
street armory Wednesday night, winning
easily 20 to :. The Springfield team this
year is made up of Younger and smaller
men than in %, Ferre, Chapma and 9th
er cracks having left the association to
play with the Springfield Bicycle club.
The Bratteboro boys, with the exception
of Sanders and his vis-a-vis, were head
taller each than their opponents. This
gave them the same advantage that
Yale had over Brattleboro last year, and
they worked their high passes with great
success. The first half, with a score Of II
to u, was the interesting part, the last half
beng devoted in large part to "bunchyn
playing-that is, the men were coucen-
traled and the dashes, passes and team
Work which give the game pcluresqueness
were lacking.
Allen was the favorite with the crowd
and the most successful shooter of bas-
kets. He Introduced a novelty in his
throws with his back to the basket, four
OF which were successful. Sanders PLAYED
a fast aggressive but clean game. Corser
was very fast on his feet and rushed the
ball well, but missed easy chances for the
baskets. Howe and Cundif more than
outplayed their men. Shea and Moran
did the most consistent work for Spring
field, and Martens made one long spectacu-
lar throw to the basket in the last half.

The Fuller Battery boys played their
first game of the season Friday night. and
lost to Bellows Falls in very apgrayat-
ing manner, after victory had apparently
been gained. The Battery team opened
the first half with excellent PLAYING, their
passes keeping their opponents guessing
The score was soon 10 to in favor of the
Battery. At this point the visitors began
to play roughly, and the Battery bows
seemed TO lose their heads, for they abau-
dohed the tactics which had put them in
the lead and adopted the undesirable ones
introduced by their opponents. In this
rough and tumble foot ball style Bellows
Falls eXcelled, and made the score 10 to q
at the end of the first half Bellows Falls
continued to score in the second half, and
minute or two before time was called the
score was Is to 10, but Coane shot a bas-
ket from field and came within one of max
ing the game tie. Bingham was pushed
through one of the windows, sustaining
injuries which will prevent him from play
ing this evening.
