While the time for basket ball Is now
quite IL ways off, nevertheless there is
considerable interest centering about
this game. Last year. Gardiner had one
of the strongest teams in New England
and gave all who attended the games
in this city a good exhibition OF the
game. 1t is now most probable that Il
team will be in the field this year, and
even stronger than the former one
1t is now hoped that Pitcher, the cap
tain of the last year Rrockton team Will
play with Gardiner. BY those who are
interested in the game, enthusiasm is
being shown and probably it will not
be long before a Gardiner team will
be announced. Negotiations are now
i'm progress for game with the Brock
ton team during the BrOckton fair week
and then results will be watched for.
