OF the building refused to permit the
ballroom to be beautlfied.
Last evening the annual New Years
dance was conducted by the club.

In the Lackawanna region the Della

fifteen OF its collieres, but before noon

work them half the day. None Of the

The attempt to work the Schuylkill

BASKET BALL.
Crescopts Lose to Allentown by Score
of 8 to 7 In a wsli-Played Game.

Crescents Lose to Allentown by Score
of 8 to 7 In a Wsli-Played Game.
That FreelaLd's team of basket ball
all comers was proven by their excellent
showing against the -Collegans, Of
Allentown, yesterday afternoon. The
work OF the club was very good, con-
siderIng the training and superior con-
diticns generally of the boys from the
Peanut City, who have played the game
for several years.
1t was common talk before the game
that the All-Collegians would run a
score OF at least so points. The visiting
players themselves looked for a walk
over and came nearly paying the usual
penalty OF overcontdence. On the other
hand, the Crescents' ambition was to
win, and, while they failed, their defeat
brought with 1t no discredit The score
at the end OF the second half was to 7
in favor of the Allentown boys, bnt
until time expired so keen was the con-
test that victory was liable to perch
upon either banner. The large audi
ence present enjoyed the fine playing of
both teams.
The game set off at lively pace and
the Crescents were allowed free throw
on foul. Centre Welsh succeeded in
throwing a basket and scoring the first
point. The next basket was scored by
O'Donnell. Allentown, after many
good attempts, secured a basket. A
free throw for the Crescents resulted in
failure. A basket was then secured by
Allentown, but was not allowed by the
referee on account Of foul.
After playing some time the ball was
secured by O'Donnel, who threw for
and captured basket. The half ended
with score OF to 2 in favor of the
Crescents.
The second half opened with both
teams playing hard Allentown secured
a basket early and were allowed free
throw, which missed. The Crescents
secured the ball and succeeded In scor-
ing basket, which placed the score at
7 to In the Crescents' favor.
Allentown boys here pulled themselves
together and by fast work secured two
baskets In succession, which gave them
4 points additional, making a total of 8.
During this rapid scrimmage Centre
Welsh was thrown heavily to the floor.
His injuries are not serious. He was
substituted by Stolz
Each side threw baskets which were
not allowed, and three free throws al
lowed the Crescents amounted to moth
ing. When time expired the score stood
s to Z In favor OF the visitors.
The lineup was as follows:
Crescents. Positions. Al-Collegans.
