JUDGE SCORES BAMMERsTEIN
FOR PART IN TROUBLE

New York Feb. 6. frederick M.
Hail and James j. Doyle, local re-
portcrs, accused of assaultiDg Oscar
Hammerstein, the impresario, in front
of the KniokerboclSer hotel, were held
in $500 bail for trial in special ses-
sions by Magistrate Finn. The mag
istrate had heard the evidence at the
examination and had reserved his de-
clsion until yesterday.
Magistrate Finn, before announcing
the decision, reviewed the testimony
and referred scathingly 10 the letter
written by Mr.. Hammersteln regard
ing the reporters.
'tAny man with a drop of red blood
in his veins" he said "would natur-
ally resent such letter. There are
lot of gentlemen in this town who
seem to think they can insult a man
with impunity, who have the idea
that anything bad they do is good,
but, as have stated, two wrongs do
not make right, and | therefore
hold the defendants for special ses-
sions."

Marion started out with a series of
successive brilliant plays and at the
close of the first half the score stood
Marion, 20, Kenton, 8. In the sec
ond half, Marion's guards showed
their excellent training by holding the
visitors down to only ten points,
while the locals we're successful in
increasing their score twelve points.
Spencer, playing right forward for
the local high, was the particular
bright star of the game. He threw
baskets almost at will and had his
