 At Benedict hall, Millerton, N. Y. March G. The Millerton girls J. U. F. and Sharon's U. s. and Go. met. The good practice which the U. s. and Go. got before the game with Roy Klebes as coach was agreat help. This being the Millertons first game we wish to congra- tulate them on the way which they kept Sharon down in the first half, the score being 4-2. During the 20 minutes or last half, some very interesting team work and passing was done by U. s. and Go. The leading feature was the goal which was made by Miss Hotaling from a throw over her head this caused ap. plause from both Sharon and Millerton.
