 The basket ball season opened in this city last evening under the most favorable conditions. Waterbury won the game, but only after stubborn fight. The New Haven team put up a pretty fair article of basket ball, but improvements could be made all around. The first half was almost a walkover for the locals, who scored Il baskets to 5 for the New Raven team. In the second half, however, the New Haven bunch took brace and shortly before the time was to ex- pire the score was tied, 22 to 22. This necessitated overtime, and after two minutes of play Armbruster threw the winning basket.
 Ryno and Knight of the local team were the stars and the work of the for mer As guard was marvellous. He was forced to retire because of an in jury to his knee and Armhruster took his place, which gave that player the chance to have the honor of winning the game. Knight threw 12 of the local baskets and played good game throughout. The other local players also put up a good article of basket ball and after a few more games will undoubtedly round into winning form. The New Haven team could be inn proved in places and probably will be. Waterbury. New Haven.
