ONE SIDED GAME
OE BASKET BALL
The Y. M. c. A. Team Badly Defeated
the Frederick Boys Here
Last Night.
IRON The World Of Wednesday:

From The World OF Wednesday:
To say that the home team played
rings around the visitors last night
at the " NJ. G. A. gymnasium is to put
It mildly for when the smoke cleared
away and the boys from Frederick
counted up their losses the score was
found to be 50 to 13 in f.-vor of Mar
tinsburg. AT the beginning of the
game the visitors put up a stubborn
game and those OF the spectators who
had seen them practice predicted that
the home team would meet its first
defeat, but the team work of the Mar
tinsburg crowd was better than it has
been at any time yet and the game
soon resolved itself into a question Of
how many baskets the home team
wouli throw.
The management here was disap-
pointed because while the team which
came over was about the size of the
local team, it was not the regular As
ISOLATION team from Frederick Evil
IDENTIFY the manager over at the neigh
boring town thought that a second
team could hold the team here, but
doubtless a new idea will be prevalent
there hereafter for every man on the
home team played like a whirlwind
and baskets were thrown by every
man on the team except one The
next game to be played on this floor,
the one with Hagerstown, to be played
on April 9th will undoubtedly be of
another class for Hagsrstown has a
team which has won the most of its
games this season.
OF course. the playing of Ware was
the feature of the game, his clever
dribbling and lodging being a delight
to the spectators, while he threw II
out of % goals of our team. The Wis
itors were all right in practice. but in
the game they could do nothing either
in the way of team work or the finding
of the basket.

Lutherans VS. United Brethren
AS a preliminary to the regular
game, the Lutherans added another
to their list OF victories in an interest
'ng game with the United Brethren.
The playing of Staubley and Cage was
the feature that called forth the most
applause from the spectators, while
Fellers who i home from college for
a short vacation did some good work
for the Lutherans The final score
was 20 to in favor of the Lutherans,
and of the ten baskets Staubley made
FIVE. For downright excitement and
interest these league games are as
good as the regular ones although the
playing is very loose and is too rough
for many

Christmas day passed of rather
quietly. The stores, generally, were
closed, the banks and the mills In and
around the town were closed ana
everybody seemed to be taking holt
day.
There was oGe matter which was
Very regretable, and that was the great
amount of drunkenness. Some Of tho
saloons were closed but enough were
open to give the boys all the tody
they could hold and it was no unusual
thing to zee men 90 drunk Oh the
street that they could not keep on the
sidewalk and were wallowing, In some
cases,in the gutter. The worst feature
was the number of boys in this shame
full class.
!. 1t 10 certainly sacrilege for one to
celebrate the birth of eur Saviour with
drunken spree.

Girls Horsevvnip Editor

Members Of the exclusive villa col
ony OF Lakewood, n. j., witnessed Il {
most sensational turn in the local
anti-liquor war when Marguerite and
Maize Birmingham, the dang hters Of
Mrs. Margaret F. Birmingham, horse.
whipped Harry t. Hagaman, the edi-
tor of local newspaper.
The young woman selected the out
side of the postoffiee for the scene, and
as the editor crossed the MAR street
both z rls rushed at him. Hagaman
received severe punishment before he
esca ped into store. He was later res
cued by Constable Mason.
Mrs. Birmingham was refused a re-
newal Of her license to conduct beer
W agons, and it appears that Mr.. Hag-
aman was held responsible for the ac-
ton takea by the crusaders when they
appeared before Judge Berry in Toms
River. Mr.. Birmingham is highly re-
spectsd and her daughters are pupils
At st. Mary's Academy. The girls
were accompanied by two brothers,
who did not take part IN the fight, ac-
cording to wi illnesses.
After Hageman bad been escorted
to his home the girls declared that 50
article which appeared in his paper
today was the cause Of immediate ac-
ton Mrs. Birmingham's license ex-
pires this week.
