Brattleboro Athletic association was
present at the basketball game Sat
urday evening and succeeded in add
ing about 25 new members to its al
ready large list. The association Is
certainly starting out well and ought
TO be of great benefit to local amateur
sport
The St Johnsbury Company ID team
is already beginning to talk about what
it will do to Brattleboro in the first
of the games for the state champion
ship which takes place here the sec
ond week in March. The local players
are not saying very much but they
are practising regularly and all have
good appetites.
The crowd which attends the basket
ball games would appreciate 1t If the
Y. M. c. A. players would be little
more prompt in getting in place after
the referees whistle has blown. On
several occasions the visiting team has
been obliged to stand around for sew
eral minutes before the local men put
in appearance. Promptitrde in start
ing a game Is almost as important as
in starting a railroad train.
Principal Hawthorne sends the fol-
lowing communication to the sporting
editor of the Reformer: 1t is a matter
of regret to those connected with Lee
land and Gray seminary that there
should have been any dissatisfaction
with the game with the High school
team. We have always tried to use the
visiting team as well as we could and
have never been accused of resorting to
unfair means to win a game. All the
teams before this have taken their de-
feat in a sportsmanlike fashion. As
to the umpiring called in question, ev-
eryone knows that an official has bet
ter opportunities to see fouls than the
PLAYERS or spectators, and an official
will call what he sees whether the
team likes it or not. We should be
pleased to meet any team In the league
on their home floor il the chance Is
given us. We have played several
teams from Brattleboro during the past
two years and II would seem that we
should now be given a return game.

SUBSTITUTES FOR THE SALOON.
Rev. n. r. Miles's Address Before the
w. C, r. U. Last Week.

The address of Rev. II. II, Miles be-
fore the w. c. II. y, last Thursday ar
ternoon was heard with marked IN
terest by n good audience and was ex-
cellent In every sense. His subject was
"Some Substitutes for the Saloon" II
was handled in practical manner ana
replete with helpful and earnest sug-
gestions. He said AT the outset that ne
had borrowed extensively from reports
of those who had studied" the saloon
question in large centers Tor the pur-
pose of furnishing salutary substitutes
and quoted from the condition OF New
York city when Seth Low was mayor
to illustrate what could be accomplish
ed In short time.
Bringing the whole subject to con-
clusion Mr.. Miles emphasized happy
homes, wise parents who study tenn
perament and furnish necessary diver
sions. and occupations for young minds
as well as bodies Competitive prices
and places for harboring unmarried
men, where cheap lunches, hot conee
and wholesome amusements and read
ing matter are supplied and where men
might smoke If they chose are valuable
substitutes. Mr.. Miles spoke OF the
saloon offering free lunches with ilve
cent mug of beer as illustrating the
shrewdness of the traffic in It's knowl-
edge of human weakness. The pro-
prietor must lose money on one glass.
but he knows that his customer once
inside will drink many more with ms
companions Those who would furnish
an antidote must do 1t at a minimum
cost and enter the field to stay.
Mr.. Miles's paper was full of prac-
tical ideas. and many more people
should have been present and CLEANED
a few of the many points presented.
Following this address, Mr. Wilbur OF
the Salvation army gave brief his
tory of his own life and conversion
from the saloon to life OF sobrety
and work for others. Rev. +. w. Lewis
will speak before the w. c, L. u.
Thursday. Feb. 25, and Rev. f. i.
Mathison will follow with paper in
March.

Aceles ARE DEFEATED
Local Y. NJ C. A. Team Trims Them
TO the Tune Of 21.11.


The local Y. M. C. A. basketball team
downed the agriculturists from the
Massachusetts college Saturday even
ing by a score of 21-11. During the
first half the "aggies" got the better OF
the argument the score ut the end be-
ing &c in their favor. ELLIS was the
only Brattleboro man to score In this
half while Ahearn tailed twice from
the floor and Quigley converted two
free tries into points. In the second
half the local players found them
selves" so to speak, and scored 10
points to their opponents Ave. While
the contest was extremely fast ana
characterized at intervals by brilliant
passing on the part of the home team
1t was married by the unusual amount
of dirty playing that appeared. March
was the worst offender in this respect
having 10 fouls called upon him. An
earn and Quigley were also inclined
toward too much rough house but
neither was as bad as the Brattleboro
forward.
Both teams began the contest with
all sorts of speed but the blocking or
the visitors was so close that the nome
team got very few shots at the bas-
ket during the first period. Indeed 1t
was not until about the middle OF the
second period that Brattleboro showed
its usual form, and the brace at TINS
point was due in large measure TO
the steadiness of Howe, the old reliable
center. He and Ellis worked together
beautifully in passing, and whenever
Howe secured chance to score ne
almost invariably made good. Four
goals from the floor and one on a free
try were put down to his credit In TINS
half. Ferriter and Stafford played the
game necessarily but their hands were
full in Quigley and Ahearn. March
made one brilliant goal from the floor
but wasted too much time in unsports-
manlike tactics.
The local league contest was be-
tween the Catholic union and Com
pany I teams both of which showed
an entire lack Of practice. Little or
no team work was manifest, and at
times it was difficult to tell whether
the men were playing basketball or
leap frog. The score at the end of the
first half was &c but the militia men
finally won 1912 by the good shooting
of Trendall and Stevens. The sum
