the United States more than two
years ago for the settlement of the

ut will be recalled that some
months ago Mr.. Coolidge, minister TO
Nicaragua, whose action had been
fully approved by the department OF
state, insisted upon resigning, owing
to the futilityi of further negotiations.
In fact, the situation at Managua is
becoming such that the department OF
state has NOW ordered Mr.. Gregory,
the charge d'affaires, to return home
upon leave OF absence, TO make a
report TO the department upon the
situation, the legation remaining in
charge OF the consul, who will have
no diplomatic capacity. Mr.. Eapino-

Local High School Athletes
Defeat Redwood High.
FINAL COURT IS "a TO l9
Marionites at Disadvantage
on Very Small Floor,
Village Basketballers Outweigh
Locals ana Almost Get Away with
Game -TaylOy to the Rescue.

The local High school basket ball
team put the cleaner on the Rich
wood heavyweights in terrible
scrimmaIge pulled of ON the Rich
wood floor, Friday evening. The
Redwood lads had the big end OF
the score until few minutes before
the close of the last half Then
Taylor, Marfon's center got real
busy and when the referees whistle
sounded the score stood 10 10 "a
i'm favor of the local five.
The game was played in a sort OF
coop which the Redwood five
proudly termed thenr "gym.' The
floor was about fifteen by twenty
feet i'm dimensions and II was dan
gerous to jump in the air for ball
as the ceildng was on very friendly
terms with the players heads. At
the close of the first half the Rich
wood lads were quite a NIT in the
lead. Marion was indeed DOWN
hearted and it was an awful feel
ing to think THAT the athletes from
that little town were about to slip
one over
IL was a grand rally that the 10
cal athletes made in the last three
minutes of play. They simply
ate their neilghbors up. Marion's
forwards were so closely guarded
that they found it not an easy
task to throw baskets. Taylor was
about the only man on the team
that could slip his guard and he
did It SO often that his work be-
came the feature of the game. The
local guard did nice work but were
unable to make any lucky long dis.
tance baskets.
The Redwood five was of the
heavyweight order The team ap.
peared more like foot ball squad
than the tossers OF the inflated
sphere The team averaged I'm
weight, about 10 pounds while
Marion five would scarcely average
100 pounds to the man. The village
lads were not slow I'm taking ad-
vantage of their supreme strength
and they trampled all over thC
smaller MaHfonites until the locals
decided upon way 10 shake then
and still play the game
