The Ascensions defeated the Drum
monds last Monday night in a fast
game of basketball by the sided
score of SO to Is. Far better team work
than ever before exhibited by the AS
tensions was responsible for the de-
cisive score. The men were content to
feed the ball to Chicken and Doyle
under the baskets and this pair usual
ly responded with a score. Chicken APP
proaced the City league record of Is
baskets by landing the ball III the net
10 times His guarding was also
feature. Doyle got seven baskets.
O'Connell was in the game at center
and the added strength was evident
in the team work.
The anti-pass law is at work in
Minneapolis and there are numerous
disgrunted individuals III evidence. Fat
pompous aldermen who haven't had
financial relations with street car con-
ductors for years are handing over
their nickels like mere mortals Police
rnen-the finest ever-are actually
paying money for riding on street cars
despite their blazing uniforms and airs
of authority. And meanwhile the or
binary citizen who has always paid his
coin for everything and who knows
that he will have to do so until the end
Of time is happier because he was
handed the anti-pass law as New
Years gift.
Reporters of the metropolitan daily
papers frequently make Imaginable
plumbers when describing Catholic:
ceremonies. Tor instance, a New York
reporter in describing the entrance
Of bishops and priests to the sanctuary
OF st. Patrick's Cathedral, says: They
wore long, flowing stoles and bi-ettas,
with cassochs OH their heads which
thew removed as they advanced to the
altar" OF the celebrant of the Mass
he says: ".At this point of the pro-
ceedings the very reverend gentleman
turned round and observed in stentori-
an tones, Dominus vobiscum'" The
best daily papers now engage Catl1o-
lie reporters.
John B. Gilfllan, attorney and capt.
talist, has petitioned the district court
to order the board Of equalization Of
the county to bring into court all it's
records and documents in order to
prove that Mr.. Gilfllan actually re-
sides in Plymouth township and
should not be assessed for taxes at
his Minneapolis residence. He admits
living in the Clifton avenue house
only few months each winter He
has voted at the last two general cleo
tions at Plymouth, and declares that
the township is his legal residence.
The board of equalization declared
that the legal residence of Mr.. Gilfil-
Ian was In Minneapolis and that the
assessment of $3s,950 should stand.
