FIRST DEFEAT FOR SPRINGFIELD.
2s-Good Playing by Both Teams
Putney Lost to Cardinals.

Putney Lost to Cardinals.
The Springfield basketball team came
to town Tuesday evening, met the Brat
tleboro Independents and lost Al to 2S.
This is the first defeat that the visitors
have suffered this season and It is also
the first game that they have played
away from home. Both teams played
interesting games and Atwood showed
up well, having as his opponent Kelley of
Bellows Falls. The work of these two
men was watched all the evening and
Atwood, who lowered above his man,
kept Kelley covered so well that he
scored only one basket, while the visitors
evidently had heard of Atwood, kept him
boxed in so that he did not break any
records The first period was all in Brat
tleboro's favor and when the whistle
blew the score was 10 to 0. The visitors
got together in the second and scored IL
points while the home teams total was
2S. The third period was played fast
and furious and was rather rough, but
nobody was hurt Niles of Brattleboro
played for Barney, who was delayed in
getting here. the first period and then
took Ritchie's place in the second and
third periods. Richie played well while
on the floor, but as he had played in
only one game previously this season he
withdrew He probably will round out
into a good man before the season closes.
