Basket Ball.
The Guard. Defeated in a Close Game

The Guards Defeated in a Close Game.
Everyone expected TO see a fast game
of basket ball when the White River
Junction Athletic Association team and
the Company D team met at the armory
Saturday night, and nobody was disap-
pointed, for it was by far the fastest
game ever played here The teams were
splendidly matched and the fact that the
guards were defeated is not in the least
to their discredit for they played mag
ni6cent game from start to finish, There
was a half hours delay in beginning the
game, due to a discussion over a techni-
cal point concerning the choice of referee,
the visitors claiming the privilege OF
naming that official Tor the entire game.
Captain Beck of the Guards refused to
play under those conditions, and it look
ed as though the game might be called
off, but fortunately the Junction manage
meut decided to accept the Guards terms
and the game was played with Guy II.
Abbott of Dartmouth as referee during
the first half, and the Guards man,
Ernest F. Tinker officiating during the
second half.
During the first few minutes the Guards
had quite lead, but this was soon over
come, and during the remainder OF the
game there was never a time when there
was difference OF more than three IN the
score. the Guards leading when the score
was not even. At the close of the last
halt the game stood 20 to 20, and,
according to rules, it was continued until
one team made three points. Up to that
time the contest had been intensely eXcit-
ing, but the excitement became greater
when the visitors scored on foul and
the home team added one to their score |
by the same met hod then, by one of the |
best PLAYS OF the evening Hough made a |
basket Tor the Junction team and the |
game was theirs with score of "a to 81. |
Following are the players and the record |
of the game:
White River Junction, Miller, center; |
A. Hougb, Y. Ahern, forwards; Jamason,
L. Ahern, guards.
Co. d, Heath, center; Beck, Parks, for |
wards; Sulloway, Wright, guards.
Goals from floor, W. r, J., Hough 2 V.
Ahern /. Co. D, Heath l, Parks l.
Goals from fouls, W. r, j., Hough 9, Mil
Ter 6. Co. D, Parks Is.
Referees, Abbott, Tinker
Umpires, Vose, Gum.
The visiting team, which holds the
state championship for this season, is
made up OF gentlemanly players who
know the game and play to win, and
we hope to see. more games between the
two teams next season. The Junction
boys were accompanied by a crowd of
admirers, and several were present from
Lyndonvile and other places. The audi
ence was a record breaker tor local bas
ket ball games.

Superintendent Folsom, Assistant Geo.
Cree, Z. c. SpauIding and Charles Sew
erance were in town yesterday Their
business here was to look over the build
ing and perfect plans for the improve
ments on the station here. 1t was de-
cided the first Of January to make sew
eral alterations on the building, made
necessary by the large amount OF bust
ness done at this station, and lumber
was sent here for that purpose. The
delay in operations has been caused by a
question as to how extensive repairs
would be made. 1t has now been de-
clded to dig cellar under part OF the
building and move all the heating appa-
ratus thereto,
The partitions between the two main
| rooms will be taken out and the closets
moved. 1t will make one large and mod.
ern waiting room, which will be fur
nlshed with new and up-to-date seats
The ceilings will be lowered and hard
wood floors will be laid. Supt Folsom

SELECTIONS.

God wants selfdenying giving. Who
can look at the Japanese temple, with its
coil of rope,-larger than a ships haw-
ser, and weighing ton and half, made
from the hair of Buddha's worshippers,
and used to lift timbers and stones to
their places in the temple building, with
out feeling the rebuke implied to our self
sparing gifts? The wealth of church
members in Protestant communities is,
by the census, at least $40, 1000, 100000.
Theircontributions average one-sixteenth
OF cent for every dollar, or one dollar
in about 81 600.
The credulous believed that King Mi
das turned whatever he touched to gold ;
but a more wonderful power is that
touch of conservation which transmutes
the common gold of the market place
into spiritual force, mighty in the re-
demption of the world from sin. This
power is Gods blessing upon the grace
ofgiving.
1t is we'll to be dilgent in getting as
Gods steward, but the ultimate end OF
all must be giving. One of the most
faithful stewards of the wealth of the
present time began life as a young man
with the prayer, Lord, give me a hand
to get and a heart to give" A man
may get earnestly and be rewarded by a
large income as a result but he may
also live in a simple, mex pensive manner;
and yet il there is not a corresponding
earnestness in giving, he falls short as a
steward.

LESSON THOUGHTS.

While God may employ it for his glory
and the growth of his kingdom he will
not accept that as gift which does not
include also the giver. The Macedoni-
ans first gave their own selves to the
Lord"
The man who gives the most and who
really feels the sacrifice the least is he
who "lays by him in store, as God hath
prospered him."
