HORSE MARKET
Boston. Dec. 29.-The closing week
in the horse trade was quiet, due to
well satisfied demand in the past
week. There were no arrivals of
fresh country horses, but there was
plentiful supply on hand, and
these with entries of good condition
ed seasoned horses and fairly
heavy supply of nearby seconds of
ordinary class made up the weeks
offerings. All the horses that were
withheld from the auction sales were
not sold and will be carried over for
this week.
There was only a small demand
from outside the State, and the most
Of the business was transacted with
local firms, either needed horses or
placing them on the market for re-
selling. Prices were easier, both at
retail and in the auction bids.

|CONY GIRLS FACE
| SEVERE TEST IN
| GAME WITH ALUMNAE

The Cony Girls basketball team
will face one of the hardest games
on their schedule Friday afternoon at
Assembly Hall when they will be OPP
posed by the Cony grads, team
that will have several of the f1ashiest
PLAYERS in the state in their lineup.
The Alumnae team this year will
not be a makeshift affair, composed
of players picked up at the last min
ute to make a game but will be q
real team in every sense Of the word.
Madeline Hussey, who holds the state
record for goals from the floor by
virtue of dumping in 20 from all an
giles in a game during her high school
career will probably hold down one
of the forward positions. Her FORM
err teammate, Vivian Currier is slat-
ed for the other forward berth.
Former captain Polly Getchell will
do the jumping and she will share
the center of the floor with Leuchter,
who so capably filled the side center
position last year. Davies and Dun
ton, both of whom were rated as
sterling players while at school seem
to be scheduled to play the defensive
positions and the Cony forwards will
have to move all the time to ring in
many counters against this set of
guards.
The Cony team. however, will not
have to offer any alibis. Although
not blessed with an all veteran ag-
gregation like the grads, yet there
are several players who received ex-
perience last year and these players
will be ably assisted by group of
players who during the practice ses-
sions have displayed good brand Of
basketball. Moulton, Kinsman, Ell
more, Barker. Hunt Nickless. Gag
non, Baker, Thorne, Priest, Mcclure
and host of others will be ready to
enter the game Friday and it is prob
able that nearly all these will get a
chance to play before the game is
over.
The Cony girls have a hard sched-
ule to play this year and this game
will tend to give Coach Comedian a
chance to look over the material and
select the more promising players.
Whether or not the girls now attend
ing school are clever enough to stop
the sensational shooting of Miss
Hussey is a question. II the Cony
team can stop the grads scoring ce
the game should be one of the best
Of the winter.
