LEGION
TEAM bESTED
IN POOR GAME
B0stOnians Show Ex.SOldiers Fine
Points OF the Indoor Pastime
Poor Crowd Out.

Superior playing coupled with
lack of practice by the losers gave
the New Boston basketball quintet
a decisive win over the FaIlerans
post at William aud vashti gym
nasium last night. Aledo started
with a dash. scoring the first bas-
ket after few seconds of play But
there they stopped. with New Bos-
ton forcing the play throughout for
a final score of II to s.
Bradford for the Aledo team was
the only player who seemed to be
able to cope with the Bostonians.
Brashear was the star of the in
vading team. He displayed won
derful form and was always able to
get away from the Aledoans. This
is the second defeat in a week for
the former soldiers. 1t can be laid
at the door OF over-contidence and
lack of training discipline. Although
the quintet is possessed of good
material it is in the raw state and
needs great deal Of curing before
any real basketball ability can be
shown. 1t is expected that last
nights defeat will arouse the ex-
service men and they will come
back with the determination to
form a winning combination.
Not more than a mere handful of
spectators was present but the in
tense cold of last evening was
partly to blame for that. No means
of heating the gym, fact of which
basketball fans is aware was the
cause of the small turnout. Aledo
people have not taken the proper
amount of interest in the welfare OF
the legion, although it is evident
that every resident OF the city is
highly enthusiastic in wishing the
legion a successful organization
