INDEPENDENTS LOSE AGAIN.
Delphi Athletics Take Them Into
Camp by Score of 81 to 10.

Up to Tuesday evening rumor was
current in Brattleboro that Doran, star
of the .Brattleboro Independent team
last season, was numbered among the
as.beens. 1t was admitted that he had
been good man in his day but that
day, according to all reports, was back
in the dim and distant past. On Tues
day evening Doran. the erstwhile
great, appeared on the local floor at
the head of the Delphi Athletics of
Bristol, Conn, and demonstrated that
it was better to be has.been than
never-was. Indeed, he gave some peo-
pie the idea that has-been such as
he seemed, to be was not such bad
thing. to be after all.
The Delphis defeated the lndepend-
ents 81 to IS. Doran contributed IA
of the 81 points for his team and pre-,
vented Haggerty, who is said to hold
the record for the greatest number or
points in game, from scoring a SIN
gle basket. There was no question
about the excellence of Doran S play.
Not only did he get into the passing
well but he showed his old-time form
in getting off difficult shots and
blocked finely. Of course Doran dld
not win the game alone Fox, who
PLAYED center for the visitors, easily
outclassed Davey, while Sears and
McConichie earned their right to non
orable mention.
The Independents did not show re-
markable form. The Martens broth,
ers. especially Charles, worked hard
and made some excellent shots but the
prime requisite of winning basket
ball. i. e, team work, was lacking. rms
was particularly noticeable at the pc
ginning of the second period when II
looked as if the Independents had FOR
gotten what they were on the hoor for'

HOME MISSION MATER.
Mrp. H. G. Pppry, Editor,

The Board of Missions of the Holston
Conference has directed that the Mid
land Methodist of April IL be devoted
to the big missionary meeting to be held
in Asheville, N. c., in May. Whether
a regular subscriber to the paper or not
every person who is interested in Mis-
sions ought to apply for copy of this
special number.
With the permission of the Midland
we copy these Home Mission facts from
that paper: The Home Mission organi-
cation, M. E. Church, South, has
membership of 97,OS8. There are 1897
tithers.
Number of parsonages helped this
year $50. The General Board giving
81, 625; the Conferences So, 497. So. Since
the organization we have built and
aided 1, 927 at a cost of SAL, 51O.36.
We have sent this year 1872 boxes to
minister's; 379 to orphanages; 112 to
mission schools; total 683; value $19,-
1913.
We have twelve schools with stu
dent body numbering 1,429. We have
seventeen city mission boards with
seventy salried teachers and workers.
This year we have spent $11, 1923.
We have expended for correctional
work since 1886 $50, 414.99 and for local
$122, 1892.
1t seems surprising to great many
who give the subject little attention
that such sums should be realized from
the small sum of ten cents a member
per month. If all our women who are
church members would also be members
of the Home Mission Society how
greatly would the amount of our means
be increased, and proportionately the
amount of good we would be able to ac-
complish.

st. Petersburg, March 28.-The i'm
preston prevalent in some military cir
cles that the japanese, having removed
the possibility of the main army in Man
churia assuming the initiative, will now
turn their attention to the next objec-
tive of the war, Vladivostok, is streng
thened by an Associated Press despatch
from Gunshu pass announcing the with
drawal of the japanese from the immed
late front of the Russian army for a dis
lance of thirty-fve miles south. 1t is
realized, of course, that this may be
merely a blind to cover fanking opera
tons; but 1t is not improbable that the
Japanese, having cleared southern Man
churia of Russian troops and secured
position from whence expulsion would
be long and difficult process, may be
satisfied to hold the Tie Pass line with
out further extension of communication.
While the voice of the emperor's adj
visers is for peace if honorable terms
are obtainable the government, as is the
part of wisdom, is going forward with
all provisions for the continuance of the
war. Preparations are reported to be
making for the mobilization of five
corps.
There has been a recrudescence of re-
ports Of change in the head of the war
office. 1t was stated last night in a
usually well-informed source that Lieu
tenant General Sakharoff will very
shortly leave and be succeeded by Cen
eral Ridiger, now chief of the chancel-
iery of the war office. 1t Is also report
ed that General Polivanoff will be ap-
pointed chief of the general staff. Both
Polivanof and Ridiger are of the young
err school Of generals, but have high re-
pute as theoreticians and administrators.
General Ridiger is the author of num-
Der of text books on tactics.
The government is advised that Chi
nese bandits are appearing in great |
numbers along the Siberian railroad and
causing interference with the train
service:
