THEY ALL WENT SOME.
Double Header Between HouGhton
Highs and L,Anse Highs
Splendid Attraction

Were they going some! Well we
should say SO. This is about the an
swer which was given an enquirer con-
concerning the double header basket
ball game which was played in the
Opera House Friday evening between
the girls teams of Houghton and
L'Anse H. S. and the boys teams Of
the same schools.
At $3.50 the game was called and the
girls were possessors Of the court
From the start to the finish there was
great playing on both sides. Houghton
showed good form and while L'Anse
was considerably the lighter of the two
teams they made up for this in their
speed and aptness in throwing baskets.
At the end of the first half the L 'Anse
team was much in the minority but
when time was called at the end of the
second half the score stood at tie.
This was played off with the result that
L'Anse made two foul goals on fouls
called by both the referee and umpire.
thus gaining victory over their op.
ponents. The score was Il to 19.
Then came the boys in all their
strength and agility, and no sooner had
the signal been sounded when a fierce
battle was raging. For time neither
side had much in the lead of the other
but the heat of the game waxed warm.
Houghton finally began to find the bas-
ket and run up the scores with rapidity-
Instead of this dampening the ardor Of
the L'Anse team it seemed to have
kindled new flame and like flash the
tables turned and in short time they
had tied their opponents and had few
points to their credit.
The second half was even better and
showed more careful playing on both
sides than the first, and having the lead
it was then an easy matter for the To-
Gals to pile them up, and when time
was called the score stood 81 to "a in
the home teams favor.
During the game, owing to tend
ency on the part of the referee to de-
lay in the blowing of his whistle when
the ball was disputed or held by
players of opposite sides, one or two
of the players got into little mix-up
but it was all over and out SO soou that
it was hardly perceptible, and on the
whole both games were fast and great
| ly enjoyed by the large number present
At the conclusion Of the game
the local teams entertained the
visiting teams to banquet in the
dining room of the Opera House, and
the occasion was one which will long be
remembered by those in attendance.
1t is with degree of considerable
pleasure on the part Of The SENTINEL.
that we are able this morning to con-
gratulale our teams upon:their successful
victory.

Almost every week we are in receipt
Of communications from persons who
are desirous Of reaching the public on
subjects Of vital importance to them

fails to sign his or her name, but in

official information Concernins Plays
and Conditions Arising IN
Games Of Basket BAN.

AS the result OF numerous questions
which naturally arise during the prog
ress of all athletic sports many times
one team or the other is unwilling to
accept or use the rule book. In q re-
cent game played between the L'Anse
H. s. team and another many Of the
most important rules were violated and
the opponents claimed many things
which were not only absurd but anus
ing. As result Captain Campbell
wrote to the Secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States
and has received the following reply,
which will be Of interest and benefit to
all those engaged in the sport.
New York City, March goth, 1903.
j. C. Campbell, Capt,
L. H. s. Basket Ball Team,
L'Anse, Mich.
Dear SIR
Your communication Of the 18th at
hand and the No. M. Spalding ball is
official.
Rule IL, section 10, does not provide
that q foul should be called on more
than one player guarding an opponent
provided he has not touched the ball.
Your Interpretation is correct
There is no objection to dribbling
providing the rule is not violated re-
garding two hands, etc. A man may
dribble the ball after catching it and
then pick it up and throw it to another
player. OF course he must only use
two hands simultaneously once.
Regarding your next question, one
official has no right to question the de-
cisions Of the other official. II the
referee called foul the umpire had no
right to question his decision and the
referees decision in this case would
stand.
Regarding running and catching the
ball while running, the rules, of course,
provide that foul should not be called
if in the judgment of the official he
stops as soon as possible. Of course,
this puts it up to the judgment Of the
official
It is not foul to knock the ball out
of an opponents hand, provided in do
ing so the man who has the ball is not
fouled, that is the player who is knock.
ing the ball out of his hands should moi
strike him in any way while he is in the
act of knocking the ball out of his hands.
Kicking the ball is foul. Ofcourse,
the question as to whether your man
kicked it or not, l do not know, but il
he did it was foul.
Regarding the duties of the officials,
it is the duty of both the referee and
the umpire to call fouls on both sides,
and there never has been and never
will be in the rules such rule as will
designate which side the referee and
which side the umpire will call fouls on,
They are both there to call fouls or
both sides as they see them.
1t does seem strange that the man
agement of any team would permit
such actions as you attribute to the um.
pire. II what you say IL true he should
have been removed from the game ant
some one else substituted. Such offic.
ials ruin the game and the spirit of the
players. If / were q member Of voul
interscholastic committee would GER
tainly vote to throw the game out ant
have it played over again.
Yours very truly,
George T. Hephron,
Secretary.

The Fish Trade.

As the PILOT has often stated, when
the railroad could begin handling
business from this bay, the fish trade
would assume much Importance. 1t
requires but hasty study of the map
to show that there is a large and
popolous territory that can be sup
piled with Gulf fish from this point
mu-l quicker, and at less cost, than
from any other point on the Gulf.
The short time the road has been
in operation, and dealers beginning
to forward fish from here, has dem
onstrated the correctness Of the
Pilots prophecies relative TO this
business.
Already the demand exceeds the
Iupply, and strong efforts are being
made to get more fish brought here.
One firm was short on orders on Sat
urday last over tiftv tons of fish. And
there are several firms dealing in
them, all of which undoubtedly were
short more or less.
The remedy appears to be in getting
more smacks, launches, seine boats
&c, with crews, engaged in fishing
from this point. With our two ice
factories there is no difficulty in get
ting a plentiful supply of ice at all
times, as low as it can be had at any
point elsewhere.
Probably when the Fall run of fish
begins there Will be more coming in,
and possibly dealers will come nearer
supplying the demand, but the latter
is going to increase steadily, and to fiji
it there must be a corresponding in
crease i'm fishing.

FLOWING WELL.

On Tuesday evening Mr. Hayward, :,
who is putting down the artesian well
at the Panama Ice Co.'S plant, struck
a flow of water at about 275 feet below
the surface that already gives a
strong flow out of the eight inch
tubing, of about 100 gallons per
minute.
The drilling Of this we'll has Deen
watched with interest by those wish
ing to know if it was practicable to
get artesian water in quantity here,
and as to what there was beneath the
surface in the way of rock formations.
For the first 90 feet nothing was
met with but the fine sand found
everywhere just beneath the soil
along the beach. At about 100 feet
they began to 90 through shells, con
sisting of scallopps, oyster, star fish,
and barnacles; similar in all respects
to those now found on the beach or
in a shell ridge. This shell deposit
was found until 1875 feet or more had
been reached.
At some distant day this deposit
must have been at the surface. Just
whether the ground has been gradu-
ally sinking since those shells were
de eyosited on the beach, or whether it
went down suddenly through the
force of some great convuIsiOn of
nature, is a question that would re
quire a scientific examination of the
stratum and surrounding conditions
to determine.
Sand, broken shells, and a blush
mari were found from this shell
deposit until nearly POO feet was
reached, when the stratum hardened
and a coquina like coraIine rock was
struck soft on top but growing harder
beneath. Below this was a seem
ingly soft limestone, growing harder
as a greater depth was reached.
The water began to rise in the tube
at about 200 feet of drilling, but it was
not until the drill had gone quite a
ways through the limestone rock that
a free flow of water was struck. The
work is now checked for lack of pipe,
but this will soon be received and the
we'll completed.
