OPENED WITH DEFEAT.
7rattleboro Athletics Gave Long Shots
Preference Over Team WorI<-HoIyo<e
Took Seasons First Game 80 to 10.

The basket ball season opened We'd
nesday evening with a game in Festival
hall between the Brattleboro Athletics
and the st. Jeromes of Holyoke. the
amateur champions of New England last
year. The Holyoke lads won 80 to 16.
There was a good attendance in spite Of
the bad weather. The Brattleboro team
consisted of r. Boutwell,, who played
with the Bratteboro team a part OF last
season, his brother. II. Boutwell,. and
three other members OF last years team
Riley. Stafford and Ellis. Both teams
showed need of more practice. The
Athletics lacked good team work and took
many long chances, which usually failed
to count. The visitors put up a better
game at blocking and passing Shea was
not covered as well as the others and
made seven goals. The summary:

BASKET BALL OPENING
ALL-rRoY TEAM THE WINNER.
erattleboro Professionals Put up a Fine
Game and Made Their Opponents
Hustle-1lo Crowd Present.

Bratteboro's professional basket ball
team, under the management Of Allen and
Cobb, opened the season in Festival hall
last night and lost to the Ail-Troy team
SO to 80. While victory for the Inde-
pendents. as the Brattleboro team will
be known, would have been more pleasing
to the crowd, the Troy bunch had to fight
hard. and 1t was anybody's game up to
the last two minutes OF play. With a lead
OF two points Troy gathered in flne shape
for the final struggle. Ed. Wachter and
Snow scored in succession. and II was all
over. 1t was close contest and the audi
ence, probably the largest ever present at
basket ball game in Brattleboro, was
enthusiastic, particularly toward the end
OF the game. Troy's victory was due to
tritie better team work. The all-round
work OF Kennedy was a notable feature
and Longs blocking was particularly
good. Henry Martens and Haggerty ex-
celled In making baskets for the home
team.
Three of the Brattleboro team are from
Springfield, Mass. They are Henry and
Charlie Martens and Florence Haggerty
George Davey is from Newburyport. He
has had wide experience in professional
basket ball Harry Long is one of the
best pitchers in the Connecticut base bali
league and occupies the box for the New

 Such weather plays havoc with water pipes and ma kes the plumber smile. It has again given the skaters recreation and they will be doing fancy stunts on the surface of White river with a few more days like this.
