A picked lentil of basket ball play
ers from Philadelphia showed their
courtesy and came to tins bOKHIgb on
Saturday evening to play a gams for
the beneiii nt the crippled player* of
tne local train.
I be team was composed til* [kc Chal-ton
ami W. Campbell oi ibe Hancock.
s. Campbell or the Wang, W. Shaw ol
Pcliu Wheelmen and Kims of the
Tannbauser. This team proved n pret-ty
tough argument for the local boys
and gave thein troubles of their own in
their endeavor to beat t hem. The game
wus lastly contested and was one of
the prettiest games ever witnessed in
this borough, not a single foul being
committed, the game being tree i
holding and rough playing.
The people of this town did not
turn out in the way they should have
done, not more than a hundred and
twenty-five persons being presont.
This was a very charitable act in tin-part
of the local management and tin
players from Philadelphia to come
here and try to do some good toward
the injured men of the team, and for
which they should receive the thanks
of the entire town, but the people of
this borough did not appreciate their
kindness or they would have came out
in a larger number. The players of
the local team are all men who have
to earn their living during the day
and they would play as high as three
games a week to try to land the cham-pionship
here, and they would nol
kick how many games they had to
and would go into the games when they
were utterly unable to do so, but they
would do it Just to keep up the spoil
and the consequences an thai Ml I
the men are unable to work at their.
dally occupation and the people should
have done more toward this cause than
has been done. It would not only show
that the people here were interested in
them but that they did all they
could to back them up in the advance-ment
of sports in this town.
The local team was composed of
Ruth. Uing, Neville, j. Crawford and
Arthur Ellnm, Albert Ellam being un-able
to play on account of being I nder
the weather.
In the first half the visitors out play.
ed the locals but In the Bet d half a
change worked wonders in the locals
score and undoubtedly won the game.
About three minutes after the game
started W. Campbell got a goal and
followed this up shortly afterward with
another. Lang was the next scorer a
few seconds later. But Ruth now be-gan
to play the game for all It was
worth and he contributed a goal for
the home team, while Enos contribut-ed
one for the Philadelphians .shortly
afterward. J. Crawford then shook
his man and got one for which he was
loudly applausod. Enos now came in-to
evidence by scoring three more in
quick succession, while Ruth again
contributed two more for the locals.
W. Shaw closed the scoring in this half
by getting one making the visitors 4
points In advance of the locals.
In the second half Ruth took Ellnm's
place at centre, he going to defense
and Neville going to attack. Ellam
played a much better game hi this pos-ition,
while Ruth put a slop to Enos's
scoring streak and Neville played a
star game at attack. The game pro-gress
ad very rapidly In this bah for
"•veiai minutes when Neville broke
loose and scored two goals after which
Enos scored another. Rath then
Squared accounts with hll man i
ting one. while Neville ami I.an
scored another putting the locals' In
the lead which they maintained until
the end of the gnme.
The features were the playing of

the visitors, while Ruth, Neville. I .am;
