Montpelier, Manchester and Bristol
Boys and Girls Play Here

| DdSkeLDaI tltle, another championship
was brought to Mccullough Gymnas-
ium Monday evening when Burr and
Burton and Montpelier semnaries met
on its court for the decision of the
girls first honors. The prize of vic
tory did not remain in the town long
I however, for on the early train of the
morrow the Manchester maidens, led
by their stalwart little captain, Miss
Mary Paddock, returned to their
homes with their 2S-l5 decision safely
tucked away. Both teams had been
undefeated prior to the contest, and
the local floor was chosen as the ideal
neutral spot for the test
A little advertising brought a mod
crate attendance and the gate re-
ceipts seemed enough to help consid-
erablv to defray the expenses of the
trip. Different groups of boys and
girls picked favorites and by their al
ternate cheering, first of one side, then
the other, they lent added interest to
the contest.
The stars for Burr and Burton were
the forwards, Estella OFT and Mary
Paddock. The former made ten points
for her team, while the latter Gagged
the ball no less than nine times. For
Montpelier Miss Mulligan. the diminu-
tive forward stood oft preeminentlv
She made all of the Is points gained
by her side, often bringing the fans
to their feet with her twin counters
from difficult angles. Her team mates
fought hard to get the hail into her
unerring hands, particularly little Miss
Mum. the side center who seemed to
get into every Dlav.
