and Saturday EveningS.-Friday Mig
al tpelier.-EaSt Boston Takes DO
Games of DOuble-header. Scores 10
IS and IL TO IS.
From the outlook at present there
sure to be record breaking crowd c
hand when Co. 6 of Gloversville and c.
D ofSt. Johnsbury take the word at II
armory Thursday night Both team
will present the strongest lineup the
have put on the floor this season and
is bound to be a red hot go from start +
finish. The locals were never in bette
shape and the visitors have been trim
ming everything in sight lately. New
seats have been put into the hall anC
they will undoubtedly be needed Botl
games are guaranteed to go the full 45
minutes and there is no danger of the
claimants of the worlds championship
sending a substitute team The game
Thursday night will begin at $50 and
the one Saturday evening at o'clock.
1t might be well at this time to mention
the fact that in order to be sure of seeing
this big event it might be well to plan on
attending the first game, as according to
the way the seats are being suatched up
by out-of-town fans for the Saturday
game standing room will be at pre-
MUM.
killourouhy OF Lacona will ofiiciate as
referee in all three games and if what we
hear OF him is true he will ofEciate too.
North Atteboro, who substituted for
Attleboro in the game at the Armory,
Saturday night, got total of Is points,
including four from fouls out of a total
OF 81 points scored during the game
The remaining 60 points were credited |
to Co. and il they had had anything |
like luck in shooting, their score would |
undoubtedly have been doubled. The |
locals were never in better condition and
their team work and signals never
worked better. Lacasse was the man Of
the hour, and his 10 baskets were the re-
suits OF the headiest and fastest work he
has done on the local court this season.
Chamberlin and Wyatt, by comparison,
were fast men in the visitors lineup.

As was expected, the opening game
Saturday night between the French
Catholic Association quintet and the
Crescents, for the local championship, '.
was hair raiser The +. {. A. won 6v :
the score OF 26 to II, giving them two :
victories over their speedy rivals The !,
Crescents were strengthened for the =
occasion, but even at that they fell quite -,
a little short. 1t was a case of team :,
work and systematic passing against !
individual work, with the natural result
that team work triumphed. The winners
gave an even better exhibition than in
their last game; they kept the ball in
motion all the time, and after the first
period there was no doubt of the out
come. Carr and Chapel played good l
ball for the Crescents, while the clever
work by Demers and La Croix for f. c. r
A. deserves special mention. Summary: t
