TWO GAMES OF
BASKET BALL.

AT Inc vest Lnu NSdulUk NOOu
there was a double-header baske
ball game in which the first tear
OF the reading room defeated the
i All-Collegiate five Of Philadelphi;
by the overw helming score Of q t.
7, while the other game ended in ;
tie between the second. or Hob
West End team and Company H o
New Castle, by score of II TO II
The game was full of interesting
plays and the two hundred or more
spectators enjoyed themselves,
while they contentediy ate peanuts
and thought Of the times when the
"Forty Acres" turns out at the
ringing of the Water Witch fire bell.
1t took no ire.bell last night to
get the crowd, Tor some of them
came all the way from Ivy Row.
The pretty n aidens from the west
ern section we're as plentiful as
daisies in Rockford Park on Decor
alton Day, and if there was any
maiden present last night too de-
n1ure to yell. she applauded with
her hauds until her dainty gloves
were split. The~young women Of
the Highlands, Kentmere. Forty
Acres and other places on the map
Of the WI stern part Of the city know
good basket bali, and that is why
so many players of the West End
Reading Rooms have standing in
vitations for supper on Sunday
evenings. where pretty maidens
live. The boys appreciate tbess
invitations as much as the young
women appreciate the fine playing
Of the boys. Y
The big event Of the evening was
the game between West End aud
All.Collegiate OF Philadelphia.
Judging from the score it 10 safe 10
say that the All-Collegiate should
attend some college where basket
ball Is taught before they tackle
West End again.
FREDDY" Holt, who has had his
permission from the American League
to play with West End framed and
hung in the parlor, made his appear
ance in last nights game and he play
ed a fast game. "Freddy" has GER
tainly developed since he got into
league company and last night he tried
to equal the record made by Brennan,
of the Wilmington team, for Holt
last night threw seven goals from the
field and three from fouls. !
Only one thing occurred to mar the
game and that was an accident to
Clough. He sprained his ankle and
Brown had to take his place.
What promises to be one of the
best basket ball games of the Ameri-
lean League season in Wilmington,
will take place to night in pyle's Cy-
Gle Academy, between Wilmington
and Camden.
The object of the game is to decide
the tie contest the two teams played
early in the month; when both sides
to get twenty points. The
team which has now become
known as the Philadelphia five, since
the Penn Whcelmen, went to work
around the circuit, are de-
terminrd to capture to nights game
if possible, and Wilmington is equally
determined to have to stay at home.
If the locals win it will place them
many points toward the top line of
the league.
With IA victory to night, and if the
league at its next meeting awards the
locals the protested game of last sat
urday with st. James, it will
place this city on the top, ahead of
all Others, by good sized margin.

cd Remains Were Inferred.
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-Henry Hol
burn of 143 Ainslie avenue. Brooklyn
received letter yesterday from biz
son Frank, whom he thought he had
buried last March in the family plot al
Cyprus Hills cemetery.
The letter was dated San francisco
and stated that the writer was well
and prosperous. He asked his father te
look up his wife and tell her that he In
tended to send for her and their two
children very soon.
This communication threw the Hol-
d burn household into great state of
mind. They were perfectly sure that
Frank was dead, and they had been re-
ligiously visiting his grave and putting
fresh flowers on it every week.
The reason they thought he was no
more was that a year ago last Septem-
ber he went away. telling his wife and
other relatives that he was going to
look for work. He had lost his place In
jewelry store in this city and was
disgusted because he could not get an-
other.
After he left months went by and no
word came from him. None knew
whittier he had gone. Last March one
of the family read In the newspapers
of thSfinding of the body Of man
frozen in the Hackensack meadows.
The description Tailed with that of
Frank Holburn. and some Of them
went to see the body.
1t was in bad shape; but, from some
scars, they decided TINT it was he, and
the father brought it over to Brooklyn
and had 1t inferred. The widow tried
to collect insurance from the Legion of
Honor, but failed for lack Of proof Of
death. There was no doubt, however,
in the minds of any of the family that
Frank was gone for good.
Now comes the letter. There Is very
little of explanation in 1t. The writer
says that he has been around the
world The presumption is that lie
shipped on sailing vessel and has
Just reached Frisco. He does not say
why he kept silent SO long His wild
ow" will go out of mourning. and she
has already written him to either come
back on the first train or let her know
where she can find him, so that she
may start with her children to see him.
