AFTER THE GAME.
Miibury Basket Ball Admirers Discuss
Points ills Start,

Millbury, Jan. 15.-Today the prin-
cipal topic of conversation upon the
streets was the basket ball game in the
hall last evening The gamefwas by
no means a credit for either team to
win, as all the goals were made on free
tries for the basket. There is much
talk of arranging game between two
teams for date after the schedule Sc
ries has closed. From the game last
evening, it is evident that both teams
were evenly matched. Crossman and
Hehir are considered as the best men
in the game. During the game last
evening many fouls were called on
Hehir which were unjust, and for this
ment say that they were dissatisfied
with the umpire. The public opinion
seems to indicate that DR. Bowers UNI
PRED a square game.
The league has arranged so that
each team must play two games with
every team in it, so it is expected that
other games will be played between
the two teams after the pennant has
been decided.
The news that the various mills Of
the town were to start up, has caused
considerable joy here, and the older
citizens are looking forward to the day
when Millbury will return to it's old
place among the records of the county.
The cotton mills start up Monday
morning, and the general opinion is
that it is only to run out the stock, but
many are inclined to believe that
the whole machinery of the mill will
be started within a short time.
