game was witnessed by about $50
spectators in Grange hall. The
score was to 4, the winning team
including Mabel Hunt, Merle Titus,
Pearl Gibson, Florence Brown and
Florence Pratt. The players on the
other team were Edith Stolte, Meta
|
Margaret Averill. Miss Hunt, who
played with the skill of a professional,
threw two baskets in the first half,
making the score to 0. She also
Gagged the ball early in the second
half. Miss Edith Stolte's fast play
ing resulted in two baskets for her
side, and there seemed a good pros
pect of an even score at one time, but
toward the close of the game Miss
Hunt clincheu victory with another
goal from field. The plays were
loudly applauded and the comment
on the contest will be sure to arouse
great interest in the public game
which the young ladies will play at
an early date. Miss Ruth Hunt was
referee, umpire and timekeeper. At
ter the game a large part of the COM
pany Joined in dancing an hour and
half and others found diversions in
cards and billiards.
