DELPHIs WERE A HOT BUNCH.

Took the Basket Ball Game Tuesday
Might from 5rattIeboro Independents
q to 1s.
The Brattleboro professional aggrega-
ton was up against a fast bunch in the
Delphi Athletics OF Bristol, Conn, Tues
day night, and while at the outset II
looked as though the Independents would
play all around the visitors the lead which
| the home team obtained al the start was
cut down rapidly and the game closed
with the Delphis three points to the good,
| the final score being 81 to is. Brattleboro
scored seven points before the Bristol
| teams turn came and the first half ended
with the score to 9. The team from
! the Nutmeg state included some of the
best men in the business. and when il is
| considered that the Independents have no
opportunity to practice together their de-
| feat is easily accounted for. 1t was their
lack of team work that cost them the
| game. Doran, of last years Bratteboro
team played as a forward for the Delphis
against Haggerty and scored seven baskets.
He was easily the star player on the floor,
although Charlie Martens put up an ex-
ceptionally strong game for Brattleboro.
With the exception OF one basket the
Martens brothers did all the scoring from
the floor for the Independents Fourette
was light in weight, but he did some fine
defensive work. Ii was a warm contest
and much enthusiasm was manifested for
both teams. The summary:
