WEATHER FORECAST.

Fair attd colder tonight. Fair tomorrow. Battle Ground Defeated Militia Quintette in Basketball Game. Battle Ground proved quite a surprise to the basketball team Friday » night and defeated them by the score of 20 to 12 in a well played game free from fouling and unnecessary roughness. The locals were not In very good trim and undertook to play the game without Captain Kirk, who has been suffering from a disabled arm, and the entire team seemed considerably disorganized and did not put up nearly so good a contest as they have previously done. The locals started in with Wartena, Kepner, Watson, Duvall and Gangloff, and Kirk later took Watßon’s place, but for some reason the soldiers could not find the baskets and while they held the visitors to a creditably low score, they were unable to make much headway themselves. The Battle Ground team has not been in the business long. Little Fisher, the star football -quarterback, played a good game at center for the visitors.
