Union Hall Friday evening by score of
Al to IA The game was slow, owing to
the fact that the visitors appeared from
the start to be outclassed. The locals
took the lead in the first period and kept
it all the way. Stnson, new man,
played center for SeaTsport. He showed
a good deal of pep, and with experience
will develop into fast player Vaughan,
RI, as usual was high line on baskets,
sending in eight. Stinson ana Nickerson
shot five each and Trundy four Shute
