Basket Ball.
PORTLAND INDEPENDENTS IS; NORWAY

PORTLAND INDEPENDENTS IS; NORWAY
"a.
Our prediction that the game at Nor.
way Opera House on Saturday evening
would be fast and closely contested was
certainly good one, and one OF the
largest crowds that ever gathered In that
hall to witness q contest of that kind
was on hand to enjoy the sport. o.
course very large percent Of those
present were anxious to see Norway
win, but under the conditions In which
the Norway team entered the game they
must be given great deal Of credit fol-
holding Portland as we'll as they did, al
Portland 10 strong and 10 play ing one OF
two games q week, thus being in perfect
condition.
Individually, several of the Norway
team showed almost as good form a
they did last season, but coming togeth'
or for the first time for year, OF course
they fell off In their team play, and II
was their team play more than anything
else that made them them such fast
combination last season. Another thing
that was regretted by all was that Smith
was unable to be here for the game.
Had he been in his regular position and
anywhere near last years form, we firm.
~ believe that Norway could have pulled
out victory.
The two teams threw the same num-
Der of baskets from the floor in the first
half, but one of the Norway supporters
so far lost his head as to tap the ball as
it was descending to 60 through a bas-
ket and caused Norway to lose points
that would otherwise have been theirs.
Thus 1t can be seen that it lie possible to
be too enthusiastic in support of the
home team. There Is no excuse for a
spectator in the gallery to touch the ball
when it is still in play. The score at the
end of the first half was 10 to IA In Port
lands favor.
Norway made two changes in their
line up in the second half, Andrews and
Davis taking the places Of Haskell and
Bethel. The Norway management also
made the mistake of permitting Elliott,
the manager and player who had taken
part in the first half of the game, TO
start the second half as q referee. We
believe it lie impossible for any man who
croud knows n be a member of An on.
nos;n. ta.m ~ 90 in &C an official in az
closaIS a contssfsd game and do satlsfac.
torv YORK Elliott was UNEQUAL to the
task and was in trouble almost as soon
as the half started. Finally Norway en-
fozced the rule that player in uniform
could not act as an official, and Russell,
who refereed the first half, went back in
and finished the game.

STICKS IN HIS CEMENT BED
Pickax Needed to Assist Sleeper to Get
Up From Soft Spot in Which
He Lay.

1t took pickax to arouse a citizen
of this place from his bed After the
pickax had been used there was also
some strong pulling by friends before
he could jump out, for he had slept all
night in bed of concrete and it had
hardened more or less during the night.
1t was late in the evening, after the
rest Of the people Of Bayard had re,
tired, that the hero Of this episode
stumbled toward home. A new cement
pavement had just been laid in front
of the home Of Capt. w. p. Wilgus, and
workmen had been stopped by the
darkness.
Our hero did not know Of the pave
ment and landed on 1t with both feet
Finding that he was sinking up to his
shoe tops in the soft concrete he laid
down and bothered no more about It.
In the morning the workmen found
him fast asleep and also fast in the
concrete, which had hardened during
the night. It took pickaxes before he
could be pried loose. A new pavement
is being laid.-Bayard (Del.) Dispatch

"PAY DIRT" UNDER NEW YORK
Legend Which Seems to Point TO Ex-
istence of Gold Under Streets of
the Metropolis.

A Philadelphia assayer, Walter
Scott by name. recently took several
handfuls of sand from street exca-
walton near independence hall, and
after putting it through an assaying
process, extracted small quantity of
gold. He declared there was enough
gold under Philadelphia, in his opin-
ion, to make hunting it worth while.
Residents of Upper Manhattan re-
member Thomas Hartshorn, an eccen-
trio chap who lived in the vicinity of
One Hundred and Sixth street and
his hobbies was absolute faith in the
divining rod. He talked about it's un-
erring certainty in the pointing out
of metal for many years until he could
seem to talk of nothing else, and he
got to be known as the Rod Crank.
One afternoon several years ago
Hartshorn sailed forth from his home
and, entering Central park, took his
way to where the McGown's Pass tav-
ern now stands. In those days it was
tAAO AAOuhl Ots IlOuoG VI AlC-
freshment. Several boys noticed
Hartshorn walk along the path to the
east of the tavern and hold out his
divining rod. Presently he was seen
to stop and, after looking around to
see if he was observed, stick a small
stake into the grass.
One of the boys shadowed him for |
the remainder of the day and told his
father That night Hartshorn was fol-
lowed to the place of the stake and |!
they saw the Rod Man fill pail with
sand. The news spread the next day
or two that Hartshorn had found gold. |
The Rod Man never denied it up to
the time he died, and many Harlem
ties still believe there is gold near Nc
Gowns pass.-New York Sun.

Real, But No Ghosts.

A frightened yell from a man who
was walking through Union Square
park, New York, brought two passers-
by to his assistance. In answer to
what the trouble was, the man, who
had been touching the harp none too
gently, pointed to rows of phantom
figures. Am I seeing them?' he
asked. mo, they are ghosts all
right, all right. This park used to
be Potters Field, and I guess those
fellows have come up to see the
Broadway sights" What the souse
saw were the down-and-outs asleep on
the benches. Since the cold spell ar
rived here they have discovered
way to sleep comfortably. AS soon
as the cops leave the park the weary
raggles wrap themselves in layers of
newspapers. These, they have discov-
cred, keep the chilly winds from get
ting too close to their skins. On a
dark night the white figures on the
benches look rather startling and
coming upon them suddenly it's liable
to make ones hair stand straight up.

RacterIa . Make Rread2

Prof. w B. Bottomley of Kings
college, London, referred at the meet
ing of the British association at Man
chester to the behavior of a special
substance found in peat treated by
bacteria, called auximones, which had
remarkable effects in promoting plant
growth, and which were apparently
essential to plant nutrition.
Professor Hartog said that the meet
ing Of the section would be remem-
bered for the paper. and the influence
it would have on the food supply of
the world.
The president of the section said
that the conclusion reached showed
that Professor Bottomley was on the
fringe of a very great discovery.
