WEST FRANKLIN.

At the town hall Wednesday evening
the sturdy bunch from Franklin con-
quered the equally sturdy five from Bar
Hsrbor Y. NJ. G. A. at basket ball. After
| the first half the game was never in doubt.
|Although the score OF the game was close,
| it was decisive. Bari Harbor probably will
arrange another game with Franklin to
settle the mooted question Of supremacy.
The hall was filled, and but forlthe cold
weather conditions, doubtless the build
ing would have been packed. Promptly
at $50 O'Clock the game commenced, after
usual imposing preliminaries, and from
the start developed into an exciting, lively,
earnest and rough contest. The boys were
not 'roughing it'' to any extent, but they
were keyed up to such pitch that they
were regardless OF the technical part of
basketball, and went into each scrimmage
with unusual and undated vigor, thus
bringing down upon themselves the cold
eye of Referee Silk or Umpire Webb.
Bar Harbor scored first blood when
Carter dropped the ball into the basket,
but Franklin evened upa little later when
Rollins shot in pretty one. Many ex-
pected Bar Harbor to strike its gait the
second half, but, as in the first period, the
teams played much the same sort of a
game. The half started with rush.
For Franklin there was no particular
star The team played better together
than ever before and passed better, but
there is plenty to ilearn yet, and some Of
the team realize it. This team, if it con-
tlnues to improve in the coming week as
rapidly as it has, will give surprise to
the surrounding towns. The score:
