1t was at Franklin. Wednesday
night, that the team suffered the
loss of Demers, and the game was
finished with four men on a side,
G. Thompson retiring for Franklin.
If Demers had not been injured it
is possible f. G. A. might have won
this game, in spite of the fact that
the wonderful Finn also played for
the Franklin team. At the end of
the first period the teams were even
SIS, and at the second Franklin led
1910, and in the third with Demars
gone, F. G. A fell behind The
game was especially rough, both
teams being active in this respect.

Passumpsic 90, Academy Ind. 21.
Last Friday evening the Academy
Independents played the Passumpsic
team at Passumpsic before a packed
hall, and were defeated to the tune
of 26 to 81. The game was fast and
close throughout. At the end of the
first period the score was 10 to 8 in
favor of st. Johnsbury and at the
close of the second was Is to 49,, but
Passumpsic had the greater punch
at the end. Cowles guarding and
the shooting of Clark and Gilander

Il. @. A. Notes
Friday night will be seen here pos
itively the strongest team in this
section of the country. The Laconia
five which took the measure of the
f. G. A. team last Tuesday is posi-
tive that it can defeat any team on
it's home floor by Is to 20 points,
and last week the local boys imme-
diately challenged Laconia to prove
this statement in st. Johnsbury. La
coma has the well-known Finn in it's
lineup and has easily defeated So.
Ryegate and the Caledonia A A
teams at Laconia. The regular line
up is promised for Friday night, and
the F. G. A. team must fight if they
are going to get within the 20 points
of the Lake City teams score.
Demers' injury turns out to be
less serious than at first supposed,
and he expects to be fit for Fridays
fray.
The Laconia manager said that if
he could have Demers and four more
like him, he would have an absolute
ly unbeatable team.
The trip to Franklin and Laconia
was most pleasant one for the boys.
Ihey were given a fine time in both
places and also went to Manchester
| on the return journey. Some of them
mad an idea that this would be the
last trip they would take together,
but local sport followers hope they
will be able to play for many more
games.
South Ryegate is scheduled here
IN the near future, and a Barre Mont
pelier-Norwich combination, headed
by DIGESTION of the Shamrocks. also
desires to meet the F. c. A. team.
Wrestling
Sherb won from Joe Willis at
Woodsville, Thursday night, rather
easily, in two straight falls. This
bout was to settle the supremacy of
the TWO men with the toe-hold bar
red, as Willis thought he could trim
Sherb if this hold was not allowed.
but the local boy was too much for
him.
The challenges from down-river
championship aspirants, such as Eddy
Bolin and Cyclone" Mattson. will be
regarded by Sherb If they will get
down to facts and dates, and offer
to stage some of the bouts in some
of their own towns. 1t is impossi
BILE for Sherb to WrestIe them on 4,
