MIDDLsTOWN DEFEATED.
Score 18 to IA in Basketball~Contest
 on Wednesday Afternoon.

The largest matinee crowd of the year witnessed one of the best and cleanest games of basketball Wednes- day that has been played in this city during the present season. There was more than the usual amount of en- thusiasm and the under-classmen of W1ndham high split the air with the full repertoire of yells and songs. Middletown high, the only high school team that has defeated the To- cal five this season, was the opponent, and proved most worthy one. Her players were regular wizards at shoot ing baskets from all sorts of difficult angles and previous to the commence ment of the game the most Sanguine were forced to admit to themselves that 'eit looks mighty dubious for Windham."
 The game started with a rush and the going was very fast for few mo- ments, neither side being able to ob- tain the advantage. Such covering and blocking have not before been seen on the local floor since the days of the old professional league Middle town finally got the ball and almost before anyone was aware of it, Wells had tallied with q fine shot. He soon added another two points with a neat throw. Richmond scored soon after on a pretty shot and the rooters whooped Ter up in great shape. Vanderman heaved the leather into the steel cir cle and the score was tied. Salmon
 
 then Windham set faster pace. Leonard was the next local to score. The pace began to tell on Middletown, but she forged ahead again with Pike scoring. Richmond tied up the score soon after with another clean basket, but the half went to Middletown, as Salmonson tallied once more.
 The second half was another grand exhibition of basketball and was a very close race. Leonard struck his gait and succeeded in tying the score with one of his classy shots. Middle town was soon on more than even terms again by reason of another cork ing good shot by Salmonson, and she took the lead with her last basket of the game, thrown by Pike. Windham braced and played even faster and Burns tied the score at IA all with a clever shot after a try for a goal from the foul line by tapping the ball into the basket on the rebound. Wind ham immediately thereafter took the lead as the result of clever team pass, Vanderman to Richmond to Burns. who tossed the basket. The wind up came with another lightning basket by Burns making the final score Is to IA in favor of Windham. The line up and summary:
 Windham High - Vanderman 1f Burns If. Richmond c, Harrington lb, Leonard rb.
