sterdam, 10. 1t is said that the WISH
tors were played out from hard
game with Fort Edward the evening
before, but it seemed as if their play
ers did not class with the local cracks,
who made baskets almost at will. The
games real feature was the work of
young Gill at right guard for the sold
/ iers. He threw IL baskets, a total Of
+ 81 points. A commentary was that
his opponent got five baskets, or 10
points, which was Amsterdam's total,
no other visitor being able to drop for
a count. The score might easily have
been 20, but the locals took occasion
to practice up bit of password, CIV
ing a very clever exhibition of that
sort of game. Ely and Willis played
in the second half in place of Fair
banks and Shelter. The score in the
first was "a to g.; in the second, 80 to
2, Amsterdam making its lone basket
