10 years ago, Jan. 18th, 1884
Salem and Homestead took
turns in swamping each other at
Memorial Hall. The Homestead
girls downed their hostesses 38-7
allowing Salem but ? baskets
from the field and their fast pass
ing attack was too much for the
Salem lassies. Homestead's two
clever guards: Min Loeprech and
Ann Bair were outstanding they
scored at will. In the boys game
Homestead swept Salem off their
feet in the opening session to be-
wilder the home team. But the
smooth playing Salem team dis
played their edge of experience
by calmly cutting the lead down
till they led at the close of the hall
and then they walked away in the
closing half finally winning 49,
"a. Detwiler and NJ. Linder led
Salem with ID points each while
Nemenz led for Homestead. All
Konnerth paid the visitors a COM
pliment by saying that their two
teams were the most sportsman
like that he had ever seen. West
found Canton perfect hosts as
West won both games. The West
lassies led by Pelger and Weiss
were too much for the home team
as they won 2l-6 and in the boys
game the Ramblers led by Pelger
with IS points ran rough shod
over Canton. West had trouble in
the first quarter with the baskets
used at Canton's gym but they
soon overcame the trouble and
then it meant trouble for Canton.
Youngstown travelled to East to
split their games. The Io. lassies
held theEast team without point
the first half and only foul by
Tillie Ungar saved East from a
total shutout as the final score
was 22-l. Ann Binder led Youngs-
town with 8 points as all of the
Yo. team played a fine game. In
the boys game the Youngstown
team let East led by Simonis
sweep to a ia lead at half time
and although they played on even
terms in the second half, the lead
was too much to overcome. The
final score was 24-lO. Simonis
scored 16 points and the failure
to hold him cost the visitors the
game. Alliance and New Castle
shared their games at Alliance.
The Penna. girls were too much
for their opponents as they win
handily 23-2. p. Schneider saved
her team from a shut out by an
early basket but then New Castle
gave Alliance no more points. The
veteran Alliance team was too
much for the inexperienced New
Castle boys. The few times that
they got the ball New Castle had
to resort to long shots as they
could not penetrate the tight de-
Tense thrown up by the home
team. The fast passing of the
Champs of last year seemed to be-
wilder the losers and Alliance
seemed more like the team of old
than they did the week before
when they lost to the Westside
Ramblers. The all around play of
Schmidt and Hurford again stood
out for Alliance-the final score
was Alliance 81, New Castle II.
Notes in club news-Alliance be-
cause of the inability to get floor
for the Canton game this game
will be played at Canton-Home-
stead hat a fine time at Salem as
the two clubs there were aug
mented by the coming of Alliance
and New Castle from Alliance. !.
