Sporting Notes.

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian o
this week contains portrait ant
sketch of the Company D basketball
team of that town. Up to date the
team has played II games and losl
only three, Brattleboro and Norwich
being among those to win. Company
D has scored sos points to its oppon-
ents' 346.
Unless there is a revival of base
ball interest it will be impossible to
run a team there this season says the
Greenfield Gazette. There has been
negotiation between Orange and
Gardner parties for the forming OF
league to include those towns in
addition to Greenfield, Athol, Bald
winsville and Fitchburg.
The third and deciding game of the
state basketball championship series
between the local Independents and
Company D will take place at st.
Johnsbury next Friday evening,
March 81. Manager Aliens efforts to
have the game played on neutral
floor were unsuccessful so he decided
to beard the lions in their den
The local Independents expect to
meet Bellows Falls in a third game
at Keene, N H., Tuesday evening.
If the arrangements are completed
large delegation will accompany the
team. On Wednesday evening, If Fes-
tival hall can be secured, an exhibit
ton game will be played with the
Home Culture club of Northampton
for the benefit of the band. Manager
Lawlor of Greenfield wants the In
dependents to come to Greenfield
evening for an exhibition
game with some New England league
professional team, and on its return
from ST. Johnsbury the team will
play an exhibition game
with Bellows Falls at White River
Junction. On the whole a rather
strenuous week.
Considering the interest and sup
port that has been given the various
basketball teams in the state why
not form a state basketball league?
We believe that such a league, with
/ schedule of four games with each
cam would benefit the sport in this
state. The team having the largest
percentage of games won at the close
If the season should be declared the
tate champion. This would be much
more satisfactory than the way the
championship is now won. Such a |

SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP
LOCAL TEAM THINKS IT HAS
CLAIM TO STATE HoNoRs.
Has Defeated Northfield and Water
bury and Has Tried to Arrange
Game With Edmunds High School
Of Burlington.

The Brattleboro high school basket
ball team made a pilgrimage to tn,
northern part of the state last weel
and came home with two victories t
their credit, defeating the Waterbury
high school by score Of Al to II
Friday evening and trimming North
/ field high school the following night
by a score of 30 to Is, In the game
at Waterbury Pierce as usual led his
team in the number of baskets, while
Scott and Rogers put up fine game,
getting into the team work effectively.
The game with Mortified was a
warm contest and the result was ex-
ceedingly satisfactory to the local
schoolboys. Mortified had won 10
out of IL games and had not been de-
feated on its own floor, having been
victorious over such teams as st.
Johnsbury academy, Montpelier SEM
mary and Norwich freshmen. The
Brattleboro boys did notably good
team work with every man in the
game from beginning to end. Rogers
put up great game, and Everleth
and Peach both showed up strongly
the latter giving promise of making
an excellent center. Pierce threw
three baskets and Everleth two,
which were not allowed because
thrown from out of bounds.
In view of this good showing the
local high school boys have feeling
of some right to the state school cham
pionship. Burlington high and North
field high have defeated st. Johns
bury academy, the only other team
likely to put forward any such claim.
Brattleboro has defeated Mortified,
and Burlington has declined to meet
the local school team either on the
University of Vermont floor, In Brat
tleboro or at a neutral point. The
local school team would like very
much to arrange game with Bur-
lington under almost any conditions
and feel that the outcome Of such a
contest would do much toward sat
isfactory settlement of the high
school championship of Vermont.

Uniform Fisheries Legislation.

the other states interested, and try to
secure legislation on the matter by
congress. He believes that the Ca

fact that one of the spawning grounds

CURE FOR HAY FEVER
Chas. Rhodes Says Hyomei VIII Give
Kelief-Sold Under Guarantee.

The season for hay fever is almost at
hand, ahd many people feel that they
will be obliged TO go away in order to
avoid the sneezing watery eyes and
other annoying symptoms of this dsa-
greeable summer disease.
Chas. Rhodes wishes to Announce that
when Hyonei is used as a preventative,
or cure there will be no hay fever. He
advises daily treatment for two or three
weeks before the usual time for the an
nual appearance of hay fever If this is
done, the attack will be prevented
However, If the preventive treatment is
not started soon enough, and the disease
makes It's appearance. use Hyomei six or
seven times daily, and relief will be
given at once.
There is no stomach dosing when
Hyomei is used. Breathed through the
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, its medicated air reaches the
minutest air cells, killing all germs and
soothing and healing the mucous mem
brane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81, extra bottles so cents. 1t is the only
treatment for hay fever sold by Chas.
Rhodes under guarantee to refund the
money If II does not give satisfaction.
