BASKET BALL.
Wilkesbarre Monarchs Defeated by the
Crsscents Wednesday Evening.

CreBcents Wednoaday Evening.
The second game OF basket ball was
played at Krell's hall Wednesday even
ing and resulted in victory for the
| Crescsnts by score OF 1S to IL. The
game attracted a large and enthusiastic
audience.
The Monarchs, of Wlkesbarre were
the opponents Of the local club and
were sturdy and agile team. The
Crescents showed up in fine form and
the improvement in team work was a
noticeable feature. They also wore, for
the first time, their new uniforms, con-
sisting OF an orange Jersey with black
stripe across the breast, with an orange
&C. in the centre; black trunks, black
and orange stockings, and the regula
tion suction rubber shoes. The team
looked neat and nobby and played a fast
game from start to finish.
The Wilkesbarre boys PLAYED hard,
although it was plain from the opening
that 1t was an uphill contest with them.
Referee Herbst called the game and
the fun commenced by Centre Welsh
sending the ball into Wikesbarre terri
tory, where, after some passes by both
sides, it was secured by O'Donnell, who
succeeded in shooting for the first
basket, amid tremendous applause.
The playing by both sides was all that
could be expected until the end OF the
first half the score then being 10 to
In the Crescent's favor.
After preliminary practice by
Wilkesbarre on basket throwing at the
north end of the hall time was called.
Jacquot substituted O'Donnell as
forward. With determination plainly
to be seen Wilkesbarre made vaIient
effort to retrve their waning star and
turn defeat to victory. The Crescents
met them more than half way and
proved that it was not in the timber to
the tune Of to points for the half.
For alleged holding on the part of the
home team Referee Herbst allowed the
visitors four free throws, three of which
we're successful baskets. The final
score was 1S to II.
During the early part of the second
half Captain Cope had the thumb of his
right hand displaced. 1t was bandaged
by Dr. Ellis, who occupied seat on the
stage, aftcr which the game proceeded
without delay.

In spite of the assurances of the st.

from the Finnish capital show that the
whole population of the Grand Duchy still
offers firm resistance to The new army

element, Of rowdiness. The people who
took part in them were drawn almost ex-
clusively from among the better classes.
The crowds were eventually dispersed by
the police and the Cossacks, who behaved
with the greatest brutality and struck
down old men and women and even chill
dren with their terrible whips The
semioficial account. which appeared, in the
Finnish Gazette of the disorders at Hell
