GlOyersville Takes Game
from COhOes' Quintet

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, Jan. 90
Gloversville played fast game and
won easily from Cohoes here last
night by a score of 3s to 10. The
home team played a great game and
held the Spindle City five safe at all
stages of the game. Bruggy played
Sugarman off his feet, but the latter
showed fine form from the foul line,
tossing in five of seven free chances
Leary had the jump on Nolls, and~his
tossing of foul shots was equal to
that of Sugarman, Dick getting four
of his five chances. Cohoes scored
two baskets in each session.
