The Season Will Open Thanksgiving
Week with Two of the Old FavOriteS
in the Lineup and Four New Players.

The Season Will Open Thanksgiving
Week with Two of the Old FaVoriteS
in the Lineup and Four New Players.
William P. Gray, manager of the Com
pany D Basket Ball team, has sent the
following letter to the St. Johnsbury
Fans" announcing the plans for
the coming season:
No doubt the basket ball fans have
been on the anxious seat for some weeks
to know Just who the players are that
will represent the town the coming sea
son, and as the opening of the season is
drawing near the names of the players
will be given.
The first is that popular player, Toby
Matthews. Toby needs no introduction
and as he has been rail splitting all sum
mer in the wilds of the Catskills, will be
in fine condition.
Next is the lighthaired boy, Wally
Swenson, and, of course, Wally is too
well known to have to say good things
about HIM. He is at present playing bas-
ket ball in New York and Brooklyn and
is still playing that whirlwind game OF
his.
Then comes a center man, Skeets
Wright of the Lauter Athletic Club 0
Jersey City. Wright is without ques-
ton one of the best centers in the coun-
try, tall, wiry, fine jumper and an ex-
cellent shot Last year he played Ed
Wachter four game, and outscored him
in all Of them. He also played Crowley
two games in East Boston and held HIM
down without scoring. You have all
seen him play against the St. ohnsbury
team last winter with the Lauter A. {.
Ward Brennan of the 23rd St. team, a
center and forward, comes next. He is a
very fast man, good shot and splendid
athlete
Next is Gus Kruger of Philadelphia,
one of the Central players and one OF the
very best guards in the business. Hehas
had lots of experience and is heady
player.
The next man is Callahan, guard
from the Lauter A. c., one Of the best
scoring guards playing in the east.
This gives the Co. d. team six as good
players as are on any team in the United
States. four Youngsters, full OF tight and
ginger, all with the ear-marks OF coming

Election Returns.

Music Hall was crowded to the doors
election night by an eager crowd and
several hundred were turned away.
After the moving picture show and some
excellent monologue work by Frank o.
French, the returns began to come in,
precinct upon precinct, and later in the
evening it became very evident that Mr..
Taft was the winner. The Passumpsc
Telephone Company furnished the re-
turns over their long distance wires and
after midnight gave the CALIFORNIAN the
complete returns by states, enabling this
office to produce Wednesday morning a
very satisfactory summary of the doings
the day before.
At the same time about % from here,
and as many more from Lyndonville,
were enjoying the hospitality of Hon.
Theodore N Vail at the House, Speed
well Farms, where the returns came
over a private wire from New York.
During the evening the gentlemen were
greatly entertained by music from the
big organ, and cards, billiards and gen
eral social time was enjoyed.
