KENTUCKY AND PARALUNAS

record an error. The New York girl, who selects her fiance by Dun and Brad street rather than by moonlight, may not be armed by nature against the moon- beams, which are said to work an inju- rious effect upon her complexion, but the damask-rose complexion of the true daughter of the Bluegrass blooms it's brightest when
 "The harvest moon on gi1ded vanes,
 And roofs of villages, on woodland
 crests
 Deserted, on the eurtained window panes Of rooms where children sleep, on coun-
 try lanes
 And harvest fields, It's mystic splendor
 rests.'
 paraluna to fend off the moonbeams? It would be as senseless as to shelter the helianthus from the sun or shield the lilac from the dew. A Kentucky girl never needs paraluna. Equipped with stout hatpin as a weapon of defense during the earlier stages of the solution of the problem of natural selection, and entirely careless of the caresses of the moon she centers her mind upon the more serious business in hand and lets her complexion take care of itself, se- rene in the confidence that if her pursuit of happiness is successful the rose tints will remain in her cheeks throughout the sprngtime of life and perhaps until late in it's Indian summer.

BASKET BALL
HOLY CROSS
BEATDARTMOUTH
One Of the Fastest Games Of the
Season-Winsted Lost First
Match Game.

Worcester, Jan 25.-Seven minutes
overtime was required last night be-
fore Holy Cross won over Dartmouth,
% to %, in the most exciting game
seen here in years At the end OF the
regular time periods the score stood
% to % and play was resumed until
one of the teams should score the
two points demanded by the rules
Each scored a free try and then Barry
ended a hard fought game by clean
shot to the basket.
Although Barry's basket settled the
contest, a great deal of the credit for
the game must be given to Jimmy
DOwd. whose nine points on free trles
and six from the floor We're the main
factor in putting Holy Cross on even
terms with its opponents.
The game itself was full of exciting
moments, rough play keeping the thou
sand spectators on an edge through
out. At the start the Worcester col
legians seemed lost, and Dartmouth
went at once into the lead and retain
ed it at the close of the half, Is to
13.
The Holy Cross five entered the last
period with renewed vim and aided by
Stevens clever floor work and Dowd's
shooting got on equal terms with the
Hanover quintette and during the re-
mainder of the period neither team
was able to keep the lead long. The
closeness of the game stirred both
teams to unusual vigor, with the re-
suit that four men, one Dartmouth,
and three Holy Cross, were forced to
retire from the game temporarily.
However. no one was hurt seriously
and all were able to get back and
finish the game.
Stevens was handicapped by Hedges
who continually lodged him, leaving
his teammates to watch the ball.
However, the clever Holy Cross cap
tain was always on the spot, and it
was his pass to Barry that resulted Ill
the winning basket. O'Neif covered
well, while Barry and Casey also tigur-
ed in the good work. For Dartmouth
Lang played whirlwind game and
Brady also starred, ably assisted by
Schildmiller and Morrissey. Referee
p. Hehir found it necessary to call
many fouls on both teams, but his
work was impartial and received with
favor by both captains. Lineup and

zBYSco, HUNGARIAN WRESTLER. EXECUTING A BAR HOLD.

The Pittsfield wrestler won the first
fail with a half-Nelson and leg hold
and the second with a reverse bodi
scissors. Siro Italianl, who said he
belonged in Torrington, wanted a
match with Sampson at Graeco-
Roman style and showed a medal he
claimed TO have won in Italy. To
the crowd the medal looked like a
bit of tin and Sampson figured it out
the same way when ltaliani offered
to risk the medal on the match.
Lundi.. says the best thing that he
struck in this country was the exhi-
bition he took part in before the
swells OF the Tuxedo club at Tuxedo
Park. The New York society folks
turned out in large numbers to see
him work on the mat and then filled
him with turkey and lobster and
champaign. Ordinarily, a little GIN
ger ale is as far as the big grappler
will go but when the millionaires
begged him to try the vintage of the
