The evening of August II, 1904, will
long be cherished in the minds of our
basket ball enthusiasts. On that
evening the star game of the season
was played and Won by the Wildwood
team in a ''pitched battleu with the
Jasper Athletic Club, of Philadelphia,
champions of the American League.
The game was so fine it really seems a
shame that both teams could not have
won. The playing was unusually
clean throughout the game and was a
topic for comment. Every player act
ed gentlemanly; but nine offences were
called by the referee during the en-
tire game, an unusually small number.
THE FIRST HALF.
After the referees whistle had given
the warning signal that the time was
ripe to begin playing, the boys took
their respective positions on the floor,
the whistle blew again, the boys got
busy n he basket ball was on its
zlg-zag journey across the floor. 1t
TOOK several seconds for the boys to get
warmed up to their work but the game
started off in an ideal manner. Peni-
no landed the initiative ball in the
basket, scoring two points for Wild
WOOD, bringing a rousing cheer from
the loyal rooters and a subdued hiss
from the enylous supporters of Jasper.
now began the real playing. Clever
hoor work was paramount. The JAS
per boys made two baskets and one
ioul goal, while Wildwood kept in the
lead by just three points. Jack Wick
capped the first half by a goal just be-
lore the whistle blew, leaving the
score standing 5 to 8 in favor of Wild
wood.
During the intermissIon a delight
lul series of moving pictures were
viewed by the spectators.
SECOND HALF.
AT the sound of the whistle for the
beginning of the second half, both
teams seemed to realize that there was
some hard work ahead and no time to
1901 away. They played accordingly.

vent to their exhuberant spirits inloud
nurTahs and yells, Jasper receiving a
good share. Jack Wick christened

sSe gd half, adding two points to
Wndwood,s score. Schwer followed
