HARDWICK
H. A. Lost an Exciting Game at Hyde
Park But Found a Good Supper.

The Hardwick academy basketball
team, minus its center, Sylvester, went
to Hyde Park last Friday night, where
It met and was defeated in as hard
fought and closely contested game as
has ever been witnessed in that town
even by the oldest fans The score as
chalked up was 2S to 81.
1t cannot be said that the best team
won, as it was see-saw game from
start to finish and RI. A. certainly PLAYED
remarkably good game on strange
hoor. The score was continually shift
ing from one side to the other. In the
first half II. A. scored first with a floor
basket and foul shot, but Captain Mich
OILS came right back with a floor basket
and from this time until the finish it was
nip and tuck with ii being anybody's
game at this stage, the half ending Is
70 IA for Lamoile Central.
1t was the same story in the last lap,
though H. A. led by narrow margin
most of the time, but in the last couple
of minutes of play H. A. Gagged the sphere
for a one-point win, according to the
Hyde Park scorers, though the visiting
team question this, the final score being
70 to ~, and this was not announced by
the referee, who left the floor before
making any final announcements
Every man on the II. A. team played
grand game, getting in some password
in the last period that had the L. c. A.
boys wondering where they were at for
few minutes. Robb and Clark both
played extremely strong guard game,
while Mitchell, Thomas and Weeks were
right there from the first bell, Mitchell
scoring Is points for II. A. on his floor
basket and foul shooting, even despite
the unsportsmanlike tactics displayed to
rattle him, which should never be allowed
on any basketball floor. Whiteomb
played his usual strong and clean game
for L. c. A., while Nichols and Stewart
both played better than when they ap-

How do you known
Mrs. Lacy's cook is sister to new
maid Blanche just hired. She told the
cook that there were three men and
no women at the dinner. That one of
the men was lovely, but that the Other
two were awful-especially one of
them. That they didn't know how to

portentious, as If he had already de-

The maid had said they were all
drinking. Neil had not taken as
much at home as he had before father
and mother came. l had been so
pleased that it was so. But would
far rather have him drink at home
that at some other woman's house

OF course l was silly to even con-

which the maid had described. Even
