The first game was unequal and
slow, the ball being in the Richmond

extra large score could be made by
the Richmond men.
Brinley. q new man on the second
team, was the star Of the game. max

shooting, but had a tendency to loaf
on the Job and wait for someone to
hand him the ball. Shafter made
10 points for the Richmond seconds.
In the second game the Richmond
high quintet, displaying the same lack
OF training, was utterly helpless
against the better trained Huntington
men. The Huntington team out
weighed the Richmond five, and three
OF the men were 80 tall that they
could pass over Richmonds, so that
the squad had an advantage over the
Richmond aggregation.
The whole team hinged On its pivot

did the majority Of the shooting.

where normally in peace times the
number would not exceed 10000" DR..
Law said. THE big change has been
wrought because many business have

1.-THE people of Germany are fear

to death Of it, but they have no idea
Of giving up. Ask anyone in Germany
about the war and they say, We're

No Tea Nor Coffee.

exist for another year At any rate.
There is no tea nor coffee and the beer
is about like water and tastes like
varnish. Hotels for some months have
been forbidden the use Of linens and
they use paper napkins and serve the
food on bare tables or on paper spread
over them.

and look and smell abominably. The
ink is OF the poorest quality and comes
