The L. c. A. Basket Ball team
went upto Hard wick last week We'd
nesday. They went with fear and
trembling, as they had been assured
that at the "Granite City" they
would run up against the real
thing" But their courage was good
in tn hopes that they might make a
few scores. How they came out is
so we'll and amtsingly told by the
Hardwick Gazette, which had its
sporting reporter en- the spot that
| we give its report OF the game here
with:
That sensation for which call Hard
WICK has been watching with eager
| interest, as per Hoppy, the st. Adams
Messengers Especial correspondent, ="
was pulled off at S. of V. hall last even
ing. A basket ball team from the
academy in the pretty little village of
| Hyde Park, down in "Spunky La
moille," yoked up their oxen to grand
pas old pung, and whao. hished the II
miles of highway that separates that
| little calf skin village from this city.
The visiting youths managed to dodge
the trolleys and steer clear of bucco
games until the hour set for contest.
They appeared in the arena in all their
fresh young strength and litheness, and
at the sound of the whistle began the
game at a pace that made the Hoppy
gang tired. Hyde Park was quick in
offensive and defensive work, played as
a unit and rubbed into their adverse
ries for fair. When the slaughter was
over the score stood 81 to in favor of
the country" boys. Hops team got
two points on fouls. If the other 40
games scheduled by Squire Hopkins re-
suit as favorably as this initial game he
will have reason to feel great pride.
About 100 witnessed this sensation"
