Defenders Still Champion.

The long expected meeting Of the De-
tenders basket ball team and the st.
Clair state champions took place at
ST. Johns hall OH Stone avenue last
night and the visitors We're defeated.
The hall was packed with local en-
thusiasts of the game who came with
fish horns, tin cans, and whistles to
root for the South Side favorites. The
game was called at $40 p. m. and
within a few minutes the st. Clair
team made the first basket scoring,
two points.
This nerved the local boys and they
started in with vim. Two baskets
were scored in short order and then a
point was gained on foul. Shortly
after play resumed Morris, the star
player was injured and had to retire
from the game. A substitute was put
in and each side scored Il basket be-
fore the end of the first half, making
the score IA in favor Of the Defen-
ders.
Boland took the place of Snyder in
the last half and it was quickly seen
that the visitors were outclassed.
Baskets We're thrown in quick sue
cession by Kane, Tiguc and Boland
and the ball was in the vicinity of st.
Clairs goal nearly all the time. Six
teen points We're scored by the De-
tenders during the last half and the
visitors only succeeded in scoring once.
making the score % to in favor of the
locals. That their victory was popu-
lar was shown by the noisy demon-
stration made after the game.
Kane was the hero of the hour as
he scored on less than fourteen points.
Tigue and Boland also played in eX-
cellent style and had four points each
to their credit. The visitors played
fast gentlemanly game. Their show
ing would probably have been better
but the fact that they played a hard
game in Providence during the after
noon and also lost their best man in
the first half. The teams lined up as
follows
Defenders-Kane. centre: Prender-
gast, right field; MOriarty, left guard;
Snyder and Boland, forwards.

calling home of French credits seems to be for the purpose of meeting heavy losses incurred by French capital by over-ipvestment in Russian industrials.
 The Economists Franchise estimates that the shrinkage in valuation of Rus sian enterprises in two years is not less than 60 per cent, which would represent losses to French investors and speculat- ors of $200, ,Oo0.000. The long process of liquidation in Germany also continues, following the collapse of the speculative imitation. The maturity of obligations at this and in these two countries, and Great Britains continued necessities for the conduct of military affairs in South Africa indicates a strained period at that time, which is likely to be reflected over the whole financial world. As to imme- diate money conditions in New York, the government surplus is making renewed demands upon the market, now that gov ernment bond redemptions have ceased. the receipt of over $2.000.000 Australian gold this week having failed to offset this drain.
