0RIENTS PROVE EASY.
Brooklyn Basketball Team No Match for
Dominioans on Locals Court.

Despite their advantage in point of
weight, the O%rients, OF Brooklyn, were no
match for the Dominican basketball team
in the game or the, locals court last night,
and the visitors were showed under by n
score of IS to 10. The Orients proved an
aggregation Of husky players and looked
good before the sound of the whistle, but
the locals went after them from the word
go and once they were started there
was no stopping them.
1t was fully three minutes before Hen
ringer started off for the home players
and scored the first field goal. During the
fl st three minutes tie visitors covered up
their men In ideal style. TIL Domlnicans
were very fast and their team work made
the husky visitors look rather awkward
chasing their opponents UP and down the
large court. The Domlnicans finally broke
up the visitors defense, demoralized their
team work and proved tina they were in-
ferior to the locals in every department OF
The game. Then fancy and long distance
shooting came in. When Henninger start
ed to- shoot the first goal it was followed
by a shower OF field goals. Then the home
players. seeing what they had up against
them, eased up a little and did fancy
work. In the meantime the best the WIS.,
itors could 10 was to annex two points.
The score ended in this period 30 to 2 In
the home players favor.
The final period was livelier and more
interesting. The visitors pulled themselves
together and displayed more skill in han
ding the sphere. Their team work was
much better and they gave the Dominicans
a better game. All Of the points the home
players got they had to work for, while
the Orients managed to secure 10 points.
Byrnes, who played only one half, secured
six baskets, while Henninger shot eight.

game. Following is the lineup:

ENDS
ABRUPTLY
in DISPUTE
Entire Nous Players Refuse
to Abide by St. MichaeI's
Officials Decisions.

The much talked-of basketball game be-
tween the st. Michael's n Entre Nous
teams at Harmonic Hall last night was
brought to an abrupt end on account of
a disput five minutes before the expiration
of the time limit. The score at the time
was 16 to 8 in favor of the home team,
n the Saints had glowing visions of a
victory over their old rivals The diff
Guilty arose over the decisions of the
referee whose verdicts were considered
unfair by the Harrison players.
The st. Michaels had their rep
resentative officiating as referee in the
second half. after acting as umpire in the
first period. He called many fouls and the
visitors objected strongly, finally refusing
to play because they claimed they were be-
ing unfairly treated. The particular trouble
that caused the game to stop was when
Hill, of the visiting team. dribbled the ball
down the floor and shot for a basket. The
referee decided that 1t was a held ball,
and awarded the st. Mlchaels a free throw.
This angered Hill, and he left the floor.
The Entire Nous players and management
afterward claimed that 1t was not because
of this particular decision that they re-
fused to continue the game, but because, as
they claimed, the incident to which they
objected was only one of many decisions
which they felt were not right.
There was a big turnout to watch what
was expected to be n fast and warm CON
test. In the first half everybody was sat
isfled. The players went into the game IN
earnest and roughed it up in great style
Jerseys were torn and all sorts of aero
bate stunts were performed. Fast work
was In evidence from the start. Soon the
visitors began to show TO the front, but
then fouls were freely called and the dis
lputes began. The Ncrowd apparently
thought that the Entire Nous five was
right, for sympathy was shown for the
visitors.

When Spring Came.


That was cold and lonely winter
for the old man. The bay mare stood
In the stable and whinnied for Seffy,
The old house was full Of harsh
echoes. Its spirit seemed to have
gone. Seffy's father knew now what
a rare thing is joy--and what Joy
GUS creature Seffy had been.
The ground was hard to till. And
often he thought about what he had
said of Seffy's mother.
Then he would toll up the steep
stair to the garret-he had become
quite feeble-and take out Of an old
German chest a daguerreotype of her
with Seffy in her arms. And some
times he would cry over 1t until his
beard was wet.
God bless you, my little boy" he
would sometimes say, that you cared
for her more than I did. You nefer
called her no names.
"I didn't know / could be so mean
to the dead-who don't deserfe 1t, and
can't talk back. And, God-a'mighty!
II any ones to be called names, it's
me!-not her nor-you, Seffy, nor you!
For l expect I'm murderer"
And sometimes, when his loneliness
was too hard to be borne, he would go
out and sit for hours and talk to the
old bay mare--about Seffy. He fancied
she quite understood, and I do, too.
When the spring came he plowed
alone. And this was hardest of all.
To plow around and around his vast
fields with no one to meet in the
other furrow--no one to talk, to smile,
to laugh to-then, when noon came, to
sit under the shade of some tree redo
lent with memories Of the pretty little
boy, where he and Seffy had sat, from
his childhood to his manhood, and eat
the food which choked!
oh, II he could only have laughed
at himself, at Seffy, at the mare, at
anybody or anything! If he could only
have laughed!
And he knew that every animal on
the place wondered and hungered for
little Seffy and questioned him with
pathetic eyes, while he, at first, guiltily

Seffy laughed at the absurdity of
the thing. But it was unmirthful.
Gosh a mighty! On time like this
you ken laugh! You right, you amt
no good-no, begoshens! You air an
idiot and fool! You no man! No,

Then, as his wrath mounted, he
raised his huge fist and threatened

your head! l can't stand you no

He roared ominously; for Seffy,

father, was looking straight up at him

parted, his throat exposed. Slowly, as
his parent heaped contumely upon
him, his sensitive young face whiten.

his father mentioned his mothers

But he stood without fear under the

"Yes." said Seffy, turning dumbly
away.
There was no doubt that he meant
to go now. His dumb acquiescence in
his sentence raised his fathers wrath
to fury.
"Yes-go, and be mighty quick

1t was all so utterly unbelievable
that Seffy turned back. This ravine

reverenced the memory of his mother
and had taught him to do soto men

old man had turned, but Seffy came
close and touched him gently. The
caress only maddened him. Seffy
cowed at the passion on the face of his
father. He raised his fist.

-If you don't" But the boy could not
