Two Harbor. JubiIant.

"The game Monday night with
| Ely has removed from the minds
of the Ely fans that they had any
right to claim supremacy over Two
Harbors on the basket ball floor,
and the manager candidly an
nounced the fact at the end of the
g m e, which resulted in victory
for our boys by score of % to 7.
AT the end of the first half the
score stood ID to 1 in favor of
Two Harbors, the one score being
made by an accidental foul by the
All Stars. Art johnson starred in
this game, making ten points out
of the o."
The above from the Two Har-
bors Chronicle regarding the game
here week ago is self explain
atory. However, we will state that
Ely never claimed supremacy over
anyone. All we wanted was to
get fair deal and a game with
the All Stars who claimed everv-
thing after winning the first game
last year and studiously avoided
our team, their manager even go
ing so far as to cancel an adver-
Used game and their sport writer
making the claim that Ely wanted
them to throw the game our way,
which was deliberate falsehood.
The game here a week ago demon
strated tn e fact that the visitors
were good ball players and sports
men and possessed none of the
attributes of their last years pub
l!cIty man. We were beaten and
that is all there is to it. We will
also state that our team is not
afraid Of the Two Harbors team
or any other for that matter and
have the support of Ely sport
lovers as long as they put Up a
clean game-win or lose.

Olive MacFarland had succeeded in
eluding the other members OF the
party with whom she had motored up
the Mohawk trail and into the old
Vermont town in which they had de-
cided to spend few days. She had
stolen out of her room early In the
morning, begged the old cook In the
kitchen of the tea-house in which they
were staying, cup of coffee and a
sandwich, an extra bite to take
In her pocket, and had escaped across
the river alone, on foot, into New
Hampshire.
She was so tired Of the small talk
of the others. She wanted to be alone
to enjoy the wonders and the beauty
of the Vermont and New Hampshire
hills.
Enjoying every moment OF the
morning, she had climbed up, up the
narrow trail and not encountered
human soul. She had sung aloud, she
had gathered blueberries, she had sat
down on the soft, tufted soil OF pine
needles. Her every nerve was alive;
she was happy-almost.
At last she sat down beneath three
friendly white birch trees and I'M
wrapped her meager lunch. How Of
ten, back In her school days, she had
sat beneath birch trees and eaten her
midday meal together with the girls
in her botany class and-the teacher.
George Darling had taught botany,
among other branches, in the prepara-
tory school In the Middle West to
which Olive had been sent before en-
tering college. Every girl In the class
had fancied herself in love with The
big, handsome, kindly professor, but
he treated them all alike, as little
girls, and was interested In teaching
them Of all the growing things.
Olive had always been student OF
nature, and perhaps in her George
Darling found a particularly COM
panionable mind At least, Olive felt
