The Northampton Y. NJ. @. A. basket
ball team was at the mercy of the local as
sociation's combination for 40 minutes
Wednesday evening, and when the visitors
finally emerged from the fray 1t was with
five points on their string against 81 which
had been thrown in by their opponents.
The Brattleboro boys appeared TO have
awakened from the trance In which they
we're enveloped at Dartmouth and Yer
mont Academy. Sanders, one of the fast
est players who has ever worn Brattle-
boro uniform, captained the Northampton
team, but his presence was not enough TO
lead his men to victory, though he pre-
vented his opponent, Allen, from making
more than two baskets. As a team Brat
tleboro was far superior to her opponent.
Every man 'got into the game" On the
contrary, some Of the Northampton play
ers, especially the forwards, appeared to
be asleep during most of the playing time.
For a few minutes after the opening
whistle was blown neither side seemed
able sufficiently TO gauge its accuracy in
shooting TO cage the ball. Northampton
scored the first point on free throw by
Sanders, but Corser followed Immediately
with a goal for his side which evidently
broke the ice on the top Of the Northampton
basket The Brattleboro boys began TO
score;about as they pleased and continued
to do so all through the game, with the
exception of few minutes in the begin
ming of the second half. At times the
whole Northampton team seemed utterly
helpless, and the local boys could pass the
ball from one end of the hall to the other
without break. In spite Of Brattleboro' s
easy victory her men we're none too accu-
rate in securing baskets, and had they
taken advantage Of a third of their
chances the score would have been aug
mented considerably.

Mayor A. II. Leader and Chief Of Po-
lice Miller OF Reading. by Chief Dolan
requesting their presence here during
he electrical convention. and that they
also bring along their crack police

him the best police nine in the city.
and that they were already practicing
for the proposed game. Mayor Leader
and city officials would also accom-
pany the party. and that later he

partments are strangers, but the good

ly. was dismissed by Judge Ball in

The shooting occurred some weeks

handling a pistol The facts brought
out at the time led the authorities to
believe the shooting was intentional,
and Lewis was held to await the re-
suit of buttons injuries. He was later
arraigned on a charge Of murderous
assault, when Dutton was pronounced
out of danger by the Delaware Hos
pital physicians and was admitted to
bail.
At this mornings court Willis was
able to appear. and testified that the
shooting was entirely accidental on
Lewis part. The two boys were sit
ting on the bank playing humble
peg" and when it came buttons turn
to pull the peg" he could not get it
out of the ground with his teeth.
Lewis had the revolver in his hand at
the time, and said to Dutton, wait a
minute, Willie. I'1ll get it up with
this, meaning the pistol. He then got
on his feet and discharged the weapon,
but the bullet, instead of striking the
mark, entered buttons neck behind
the ear. So far it has never been
found.
The location of the wound and the
course the bullet took, a downward
one, bore out buttons statement, and
Lewis was discharged.
