Local basketball enthusiasts will
be glad to know that John Howe VIII
be i'm the game again from now on,
succeeding Ferriter as captain of the
Independents. Although not so ag-
gressive as some of the other local
players Howe is undoubtedly the
best center in town and in team work
he is without an equal. Ferriter will
not play with the independents here
after, and it is likely that Riley will
be used as substitute, Stafford going
to his old position at guard.
The All-Troy professionals Will
play the Independents in Festival

team will be made up as follows;
OBrien, center; Evers and Lamb,
forwards; Waterman and Dickey,

Shelburne Falls Tuesday evening
and defeated the athletic club team of
that town by a score of A to 20. The

fessional team which appeared here
last season.

monia are but the result of a ca
tarrhal condition, which is in
reality an internal scrofulaa If the

pneumonia. Mucu-Tone will do it
because Mucu-T Tone clears the sys-
TEN of every trace of catarrh al
germs, tones up the system, shakes
off hanging on tag-end coughs and
colds, revitalizes the entire system,
