- nee more the Seattle Y. NJ C. A.
basket ball team has proved its
right to the title champions of
Washington and British Column
~ bia' by defeating the strong
James Bay team of Victoria, on
their own field. by a score of 4 to 8.
The Victoria team returned home Sat
urday afternoon and was given an ova-
ton by the enthusiasts, who have fol-
lowed its work since the days of the
games with the Seattle Athletic Club.
The personnel of the club is as follows:
temple. Mcdonald. Moldenhour. Myers,
lney.
Seattie's victory was a great surprise to
y toria, az the players OF that city
tlr ght their club invincibe on the home
81 ands. The score shows. however that
the victory was won after one of the most
hotly contested games on record. So
strong was the defense Of both teams in
the face of vigorous attack that neither
side threw a goal from the field In the
second half not point was scored al
though the battle ragged fast and furious
Both baskets were hesieged, but the ball
did not get chance to settle.
The scoring was confined to goals
thrown from fouls and It was due to good
work by Temple In dropping the leather
ball into the goal that gave Seattle the
victory. Nine fouls were called on Seat
tie players. Perhaps It may be well to
explain that when a foul is called on a
player the opposing side IL given free
throw for goal. From fouls Cousner, of
Victoria, threw two goals and Stiphes. OF
Victoria, threw one goal Each goal
thrown from a foul counts one point.
While nine fouls were called on Seat
, lie, only seven were called on Victoria.
ct Temple threw four goals, giving Sc
/ tile four points and the match by one

trained.
From present indications Seattle will
witness two or three first-class basket
ball games within the next six weeks.
The Portland Y. M. G. A. team is anxious
to regain Its prestige. and naturally looks
to the Seattle Y. M. G. A. team for the
opportunity. Seattle has given the Port
land boys a few lessons in basket ball on
scientific lines. and will probably attempt
It again In this city Christmas night. The
game will be played in the Y. NJ. c. A.
gymnasium. unless other arrangements
are made.
Spokane has taken up basket ball. so

this really healthful, clean and exciting
game win become general In the Pacific
Northwest. How strong team Spokane
can boast IL not known, but desire has
been expressed for a game with the
champion Seattle team. The cost OF
transportation. no matter whether the
game Is played In Seattle or Spokane,
will be the principal obstacle TO be over
come In the preliminary arrangements.
The appointment OF ID. A. Upper as
game warden Of King county Will be
warmly approved by sportsmen who obey
the game laws and desire to sec others do
the same. Mr.. Upper is an enthusiastic
hunter and high-class dog fancier The
public has seen and heard considerable
about him In connection with his position
OF secretary OF the Seattle Kennel Club
and acting secretary Of the Pacific Coast
Kennel League. He Ia possessed OF those
qualities which make man strong
friends and bitter eremies such q man
IL required for the game wardenship OF
King county. Mr.. Upper t. fearless ana

East and Middle West this year there has
been a marked Improvement In the pro-
lection Of game. Numerous arrests have
been made, and the judges have almost
invariably imposed severe fines. In King
county the matter has reduced itself
down TO the point that the law must take
its course. King countx has an opportu-
