largely due to his quick perception,

brought home the bacoai to the

Gillespie's dehut was very well

little soft, this being his first
came, and he did not hold up aa
well some of the players who
have oeen through several battles.
Taking the game all in all, it
was a good exhibition, of basket
ball, although at times there was a
little rough play. This was elimin
ated 'a. the last half when Alex
Blanchard was substituted for Loujs
Gutfeld as referee, and his greater
knowledge of the game, and the fur
ther fac* that the players paid him
more respect for this reason, held
tligm down from roughing it as
much as they did in the first half.

"The U. S. district attorney at

that som© most remarkable rumors

these aro to the effect that the U.

several of the most important pro-;
