w. H. $. Defeats Wesleyan.

Windharn High school added still another to it's long list of basketball victories Saturday afternoon, when it succeeded in defeating the Wesleyan university second team in what proved to be the fastest and most fiercely con- tested game of the season in the Y. M. c. A. gymnoasiuln, before an enthusi- astic audience.
 The first half was an exceedingly fast and was full of fine teamwork and ex- celIent blocking, and the visitors clos ed with lead of 9-3.
 Windham started the final session still faster, and soon got a lead that 1t maintained until the close of the game. The passing in this half was superb, and although Wesleyan second was young men, they could not withstand the merry pace set by the High school boys, who scored just twice as many points during the half as the visitors.
 Wesleyan's team was the best visit ing aggregation seen here this season, and the High schools victory is all the more praiseworthy. The lineup and summary:
 WindhaIn High school-venderman If, Burns If, Richmond c, Jordan ID, Leonard rb.

Double Fracture of Thigh Results from
BAND WON CASE.
Cadets Could Not Retain Uniforms for
 Which They Had Not Paid.

Before Richard German, justice of the peace, there was a hearing Satur- day of the replevfn suit of the Putnam Cadet band vs. Henry w. Baicom. Irv- G. Evans and Leonard Diamond, all minors excepting Balcolm- Attorney Charles l.. Torrey was appointed ants.
 The suit was brought because of the retention of uniforms of the band by the defendants, which uniforms were bought through a local store last year, payment to the amount of s36S.75 be- ing guaranteed by George A. Ham mond The case hinged on the bylaws of the band. one of which provides that uniforms are to remain the property of the organization until paid for and for a period of three years. The de- fendants were members of the band, but failed on resigning to give up their uniforms. Only the case of Diamond was tried, the decision being in favor of the plaintiff. Judgment by agree ment, was entered against Diamond and the other defendants in favor of the band. without costs o- damages. a considerable amount. will be borne by the band.

 UngaIlant to Defeat Girls Team.
 The Boston College girls basketball team proved an interesting attraction for a large number of Putnam people, but the game was regarded as rather below the standard by many of those who witnessed 1t. The girls would have been easy to defeat by a far less capa- ble team than the one that represents Putnam-but why beat the ladies? The spectators enjoyed the game as well as if the score had been 100 to in favor of the home team.

Big Crowd in Armory to Witness Sat
 urday Nights Game.

A big crowd assembled in the Arm ory Saturday evening to sse the Thread City Cyc1ers defeat the fast Taftville five in a game repfets with action and genuine old-time sport, for the contest was played in cage the same as it Dunn had his crack aggregation of players that made everything step a
 lively pace in the league when profes- sional basketball had a strong hold up- on the public in this section of the state.
 It was a strenuous, exciting game. and at the end of the first half the home team led by narrow margin, the score being 13-11.

"I suffered with eczema for one year. First of all there were small white pimpjes on my left hand and I had to scratch until the blood came. Then they would pun up and water would run out Wherever this water would run there would be more pimples until my whole left hand was a mass of sores. Then my other hand became affected and they were like pieces of raw meat. Then it came on my face, neck and under my right arm so that I was unable to raise my arm for two weeks. It became so bad that I was obliged to give up work. About four months ago l started to doctor and the doctor told me 1t was ecsema. So he told me to get - ointment and soap. used them for a month and they didn't do me one bit of good SO tried another doctor. He gave me three different kinds of medicines but did not help me. l was unable to sleep at night and I gave up all hope until I decided to try the Cuticura Remedies. used Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Reeolvent and l am oured.
