TRINITY TEAM WON.
Miss Blanche Walsh.
Probably the most complete library
of dramatic works owned in Amer
ica is the property of Miss Blanche
Walsh, the great emotional actress.
At her estate at Woods Holl, Massa
chusetts, she has a part of her spa
cious reading rooms set aside tor
the works of the old masters, rang
ing from the essays of MacCauley,
to the works of Ben Johnson, Shake
speare, Beaumont and Fletcher, and
the disputed "talkalogues" of Bacon.
Miss Walsh is a student of all dra
matic literature and so well does
she study a character she is to
play that in her career she has
never been identified with a failure.
Despite her triumphs in her works
of Shakespeare, Sardou, and other
famed authors, she considers the
character of Emma Eltynge, in
"The Test,"' in which she will be
seen here, as the greatest she has
ever essayed to portray. The en
gagement in this city is limited vo
one performance at the Academy of
Music.

In Hard Fought Basket Ball Game Y.
M. C. A. Loses Score 25 to 22.
The local Y. M. C. A. basket ball
team lost last night to the Trinity
College team by the score of 25 to
22. Mr. Card, of Trinity, refereed the
first half and gavt decided dissatisfac
tion to the players and spectators. His
decisions were questioned by loud pro
tests from the gallery and players. He
made the game very much slower than
was wished by the players by dilly
dallying with the ball on every occas
ion. At the end cf the first half the
score was 11 to 12 in Trinity's favor.
Especially in this half did Trinity
show splendid training and played
good scientific basket ball.
The second half was refereed by Mr.
Thompson of Charlotte. During the
second half Averett relieved Kirby and
West relieved Armfield. Steward (a
Charlotte boy) played the star game
for the. visitors. He played clean,
steady ball. His double resulting in
a goal in the second half was beauti
fully executed. Willmann for the
home team was not at his best lie
was betted than his best. His passing
was sure and his goal throwing surer.
Willmann led the individual score re
cord with 12 points.
The line-up follows:
