Turner's Falls "a, Athletics %.

The Athletics suffered second de-
| feat ut the hands of Turner'S Falls
Tuesday evening in a fast and close
game with the final score "a to %. The
war was waged in the local territory
with hardly a cessation of hostilities
from start to finish. IL was rather hard
to swallow defeat by one point but tho
visitors earned the game. The local
boys played rings around their oppon-
ents in tho first half and rested on
their laurels in the second. Davey, who
was playing at center for the first time
this season with the local team,
showed that he has not lost any of his
old time form and speed. His work
was pleasure to witness. He played
straight basketball and left the mixing
up for others. While Mclaughlin had
it on him ON the bat-of, Davey out
played the visiting center all through
the game and quit with five baskets
against his opponents none. Bogglo
| for the visitors was star, shooting six
baskets and being in the thick of ali
team work. Boutwell, was against Do
ran and did not make a reputation foE
himself, although he looped one from
the backfeld that was corker Riley
played his man to standstill and left
him hard and fast aground with four
baskets for Riley, NIKE for Mccarthy.
The game started in slowly with
both sides apparently sparring for an
opening. Riley took the ball on NEE
pass and dropped it in for the first
score in less than 80 seconds of play
but Brown put the visitors ahead with
pair of baskets in quick succession.
! Dayey then came to the front and
dropped one in followed by Riley. Do
ran and Boggio then succeeded in Gag
ing one each and Davey Gagged nice
shot. Boutwell, electrified the crowd
with his shot from the deep backfieli
and Davey finished the half with two
snap shots from the sidelines which
both tailed. The half ended with the
score of Ia to s in favor of the local
boys.
Before the second half had fairly
started Boggio dropped in three IN
succession after which collection OF
fouls Melted the Athletics one point.
Riley was the man with the stuff next,
getting a pair of baskets. Then Bogglo
dropped one in from the corner after
the whistle had blown which by rights
should not have counted. However,
the game was allowed to go on. Doran
then handed Boutwell, tin can and
dropped in couple, and Stafford put
his team one ahead with pretty shot.
Davcy apparently placed the Athletics
on easy street with lucky toss, but
Boggio brought his team within strik-
ing distance and Brown followed with
the winning shot The summary
