c;i’OKT:; and pa:Trentonians Wonderful Game Against Camden,GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYEDLocals Completely Out phi) the Crack Camden live — Mercer'** Li\ol) CdMe-d With the Metropolitan A. C. of New York —W. Cla.UoitBack in the Game.As the clays chances of theglide swiftly by the Trenton team being victorious in the fight for the championship of the National Basketball League grow brighter. It has beenpretty generally recognized from thlt;* very opening of the season that the Trentons were the most dangerous candidates for the highest league honors, but after Saturday night s game in Camden, even the Philadelphia Scribes and critics, who hate been rooting for the Clover Wheelmen,were forced to admit that the Trentons are playing a game nearest perfection of any team ever seen in Philadelphia orvicinity.Trenton's game against Camden was indeed wonderful. Camden’s partisans In the audience were completely won over after less than ten minutes of play, and during the remainder of the game the applause accorded the Trentons was royal in its character; as whole-hearted and sincere as ever the locals received in Masonic Temple.I have seen the best basketball games that have been played during the past six years, but I can call to mind not one in which a team displayed such perfect form, such ideal team work, such absolutely faultless judgment as was shown by the Trentons in this game. It was a marvel of feam passing in which each member of the team played his own particular part. It ■was the acme of goal throwing, in which the Trentons seldom missed an opportunity to score. It was a game that will live in thememory of those who saw it as the most perfect from a scientific standpoint ever played since the game was introduced. I doubt very much if even Messrs. Roberts and Naismith, who invented the game, ever dreamed that there is i# it the possibility of such science and cleverness as that with which the Trentons defeated Camden by the unprecedented score of 43% to 14.In many games d uring the past, flashes of passing have occurred to arouse the enthusiasm of the spectators to the highest pitch, but these flashes have been of short duration. In this Trenton-Camden game on Saturday nlght,on a strange floor, the Trentons started off at the opening of the game with a display of passing that continued, without a break or slump right up to the finish of the game.As the Trentons plajed in this game they are invincible; no team ever , played with such open, desperate determination as did the Camdens. They showed by every look and action that they felt the humiliation of such a Score being rolled up against them in their own home, and they exerted every effort to add to their total; but it was useless, their best attempts were set to naught by the superb Work of their opponents. Any comparison between the two teams, either as teams or individually, is out of the Question. The Camdens were lost in a justifying raave of passes, dazed bythe surprising brilliancy of the work ' of the Trentons.If there was a star on the Trenton team it was Cooper, whose all round work cannot be too highly praised. He ‘ w«s here, there and all over the floor with the quickness lightning. His dodging was irresistible, and his dash and vim made him a warm favorite with the spectatois. He also shot in rare form, but that was the least part - of his great game, as he played on Saturday night, Cooper fills all the re-? (juirements of an ideal forward.Harrison played the cleverest game * In his career.

Mr. Chapin was born in Massachusetts, October 13,1813. For many years he was heavily in debt. In 1864 he bought the fee to what is now known as the Chapin mine at -Iron Mountain, Michigan. The land was considered almost worthless,and Mr. Chapin endeavored to sell it to pay his debts, and even tried to turn it over to his ereditois,but they refused to accept it.In 1880 the mine was developed and it proiod to contain the largest deposit of iron ore then discovered in the United States. It was worked successfully, and Mr. Chapin immediately paid his debts, and through its operation has amassed a fortune variously estimated at from $15,000,000 to $30,000,000. A small city has now sprung up about the mine, which gives employment to the majority ofits people.-AThe Metropolitan A.
