EASY FOR TROY PROFESSIONALS

II was a case of Lamb, Lamb,
Lamb at Festival hall Saturday even
ing when the local Independent bas-
ketball team went up against the All
Troy professionals and were defeated
by a score OF 80 to 10. Lamb gave
an exhibition of the game as II Is
played by a man strong enough to
shoot in spite of difficulties and sufii-
GENTLY accurate to make most OF ms
shots count. In spite of Ellis's good
attempts to cover Lamb made IL
baskets and undoubtedly could nave
made more had he been SO inclined.
To speak plainly Brattleboro was not

of the contest lying in the remarkable
skill which the visitors displayed. In
comparison to their skill even the
much vaunted Boutwell, looked like a
simon pure amateur although he
worked like Trojan and was fire.
auently applauded for his determine
ton i'm the face of overwhelming diff
culties.
For that matter all of the local
team tried hard enough and showed
no signs of quitting when 1T became
evident that they didn't stand a
ghost of a show 1t was simply case
of being up against the real thing,
and Brattleboro is far from the gen
uine article when professional bas-
ketball players are taken into con-
sideration. Aside from Lamb. who
was the star of the professional ag-
gregation, Evers and Waterman din
the best work Both secured several
difficult baskets and stuck TO their
opponents with a tenaeity which pre-
vented any thought of easy shots. AT
center Brattleboro had the services OF

ton. Mass. For player of small
stature ITCHY showed himself pow
erful worker but he was Handicapped
bv not knowing his team mates ana
in consequence frequently made the
mistake of passing the bah to the OPP
ponents. Boutwell, gave EVers run

legged. allowed Attorney Richard P. Evans,
who represented the petitioner, to traverse
the return of the superintendent on the
question of fact as to present condition of

In lunacy.
Assistant District Attorney Charles A.
Keigwn represented the hospital authori-
ties at the hearing, and maintained that
as matter of law the detention of a soldier
who became insane during the term of his
enlistment or for period of three years

DIR. White, In his return, stated that
Kuhlcke was held under a commitment

INCREASE OF SPURIOUS COINS.
Extensive Counterfeiting of English
Sovereigns Reported.

More disconcerting to the foreign visitor
who is not conversant with English coinage
than to the native will be the announcement
that there is more spurious money In cir
culation in London just now than was ever
known In that country.
Not only that, but the art OF false coming
is more near perfection than ever. The
police estimate that the ranks of smash
ers'' are being augmented yearly, and as
soon as the police smoke OUT one coiners
den they become aware that another has
sprung into existence, the rate of increase
being greater than at any time during the
present generation.
It is estimated that there are no fewer
than two hundred persons now engaged IN
England in private coming, counterIeltlng
and uttering bad money, and or that num-
Der probably two-thtrds live IN LONDON
The number of private minis Is propapiy
not far short Of one hundred.
The London police are puzzled how TINS

necessary are very expensive and the FISK

game has shown.
There is also now recrudescence OF
