!: BASKET
BALL GAME,

Wilmington, SO: Chester, %. That
tells the story of the basket ball
game last night at the Pyle Cycle
Academy. 1t was not evena a good
practice game for the locals got tired
OF throwing goals and helped Chester
to try and get score. But the visi-
tors, although they tried, could not
shoot into the basket. The feature
of the game was the shooting of Bren
nan, who threw thirteen field goals
the largest number ever thrown In a
league game by an individual player.
The game was witnessed by the
largest crowd that has attended a
game this winter. The rush being
early, and it was 50 great thata grand
raid was made on seats. The manage
ment found it impossible to hold
seats that had been reserved for the
crowd was good-natllred, out for a
good time, and felt that everything
was a Christmas present and took a
seat even if there was not a coupon
to show for it. The management did
the very best it could under the cir
cumstances, and a large majority of
the crowd assembled TO appreciate
the difficulties and filed no protests.
1t is likely that after the first of the
year, the seating arrangements and
the method Of reserving seats will be
changed. 1t will be something on
the order of the base ball games,
'tirst come, first served except for
some chairs,
Shortly after the first half started
twas plain that the Wilmington team
had it all its own way. The first
half ended with the score % to y.
. Brennan in this half had shot six
goals and it was suggested to him that
he beat his record of eight, made in
the game against Trenton, For the
first few minutes of the second half
he played defense. The ball was pass
ed to him. frequently the full length
of the cage, and before long he had
added seven more goals to his credit
and leaving defense he and Reynolds
played forwards, leaving the shooting
to Holt and Hackney. The former
got six goals and Hackney got five.
Wilmington had such an easy time
rolling up score that they tried to
give Chester some. The ball would
at times be passed directly to the
visitors and they given a chance to
shoot. If they missed they were given
another, which they frequently miss
ed and then ''lkey' Charlton would
get the ball, make pass the full
length Of the cage ahd allow either
Brennan, Holt or Hackney to Show
how shooting should be done, Sha iier
of Chester, made one pretty acciden-
tai shot. throwing one through the
basket from nearly the centre OF the
cage. The next game in TINS clly
will he on saturday night, when VIII
mington will play oil the lie game
with Camden. The prospects az,
that it will be Il hard-fought contest
and well worth seeing
