morning even this light Hurry had
ended, and for a time there was only
the promise of snow in the dull, heavy,
leaden skies that hung over the town,
then the real "falling weather" be-gan.
First, fine crystalline Hakes thai
SCunied eastward, then larger flukes,
that Increased In size as the afternoon
wore on. It was biting cold during
the snowfall, and there was no trace
of a thaw. The snow luy us it fell, or
drifted here and there into high
banks.
The wind grew stronger late in the
afternoon, and during the early even-ing
the town was treated to a real old
blizzard, of the sort that grows on the
prairies of the Dakotas. From around
street corners the wind roared angrily,
whipping umbrellas into shreds and
forcing pedestrians off their courses
with a brutal recklessness.
The snowfall was almost eleven
inches and the velocity of the Wind,
which among citizens waked memor-ies
of Jnat one year ago, was thirty-four
miles an hour. It came from
the north and got tired of blowing
early Sunday morning. The tempera-ture
went down to 16 degrees, and the
maximum was 25. At 8 P. M. it was
20, the same as in New York and Bos-ton,
while Atlanta, Oa., shivered at
26. and St. Paul was the coldest place
in the country at 10.
The trolleys were seriously incon-venienced.
The snow plow was run
through Conshohocken early on Sun-day
and the line opened to the till

In one of the prettiest paslng, and
one of the most open, games ever play-ed
in tills borough, the locals took a
fall out of the crack Penn Treaty team
mi Saturday evening by the close score
of 30 to 26.
Owing to the Inclemency of the
weather the attendance was kept down
considerably, but those who did brave
i he storm were repaid with a great
gams.
I In- visitors are one of the strongest
teams playing In Phlludelphiaand there
are teams hi both leagues inferior to
them In all respects of basket ball,
. Ii.ii- PBMTllH was of the highest order
and in shooting for the basket they
used excellent Judgment.
AH through the gume goals came
lust for both teams. However, the vis-itors
never regained the lead after
(hey lost It In the first half, although
they were right on the heels of the lo-cals
at several stages of the game.
The visitors scored first on a goal
from (he Held by Enos, but Ruth soon
led Hie score and placed his team in
:i.e had which position they main-talned
throughout the contest
The ball danced around the baskets
like hailstones on a tin-roof, and while
(he locals won out, tbey had no more
snots at the basket than had the vis-itors.
Kims, who plays on the Penn Treaty
second team, was placed at centre and
his playing stamped him to be a com-er.
He proved to be a match to the
heretofore Invincible Cox, who played
Dim in the first half and on whom he
scored four goals, and also played all
round LIIIIK who substituted Cox in
the second half. Enos is a little play-er
and when he stacks up against a
man thc size of Lang and scores three
goals in twenty minutes he is putting
up n good game. However, had Lang
followed his man more closely the
chances are that he would have fallen
short In the number of goals scored,
hut the sturdy Lang seemed to be
playing the whole team which proved
to be entirely too much of a contract
for one man to carry out and Oscar got
tngry and committed two fouls, one of
Which was thrown by Enos. The fi-nal
score was 30 to 25.
The features of the game was the all
round playing of the local team, the
goal throwing of Ruth and Neville,
and the playing of Enos and Campbell
for Penn Treaty. The line-up:

Preceding the game between Con-shohocken
and Penn Treaty Wheel-men
on Saturday night a game was
played between thc Reserves and the
Gulf Mills team. The "Qulfers" are a
heavy team and when it came to rough-ing
it up they were superior to their
opponents, but in the matter of shoot-ing
for the basket they were not In It
a little bit, and they fell easy victims
to the Reserves to the score of 18 to 2.
In the first half the Reserves played
all around the Gulf boys and succeeded
in rolling up 14 points while Gulf Mills
was unable to tally. In the second
half the Reserves eased up In their
playing, but the Oulf team played as
hard us ever and near the close of the
gume "Rcddy" Buster managed to
shoot a goal. This Inspired life in the
team from over the river and the game
assumed that of a foot-ball match, fly
tackles, end runs, crlss crosses and
every-uld-thlng went but their rough
playing availed them nothing. The
Reserves scored 4 more points in this
half making the final score 18 to 2.
