BATTLE
AT THE AUDITORIUM
Secure Victory Over Y,
M. H. A. Saturday Night By Score
of 26-I6--A Great Game.

One of the warmest and most ex-
citing basketball battles ever waged
between two local teams resulted at
the meeting of picked teams from
the Riverside A. c. and the Young
Mems Hebrew Association in the Au-
ditorium, Saturday night. The Riv-
erside members won by a score OF 26
to 16. Their passing and shooting
was at almost all times superior to
the work of the Y. M. H. A. per-
formers. The teams were the Y. NJ.
Fl. A. juniors strengthened by menu
bers Of the Y. M. III. A. senior team,
and the Riversides strengthened by
other senior team players.
A week ago the Y. M. H. A. aggre-
cation bested the Riverside collec-
ton and the latter was determined
to ayenge its defeat on Saturday
night. From THE first gong to the
finish the sides mixed matters In ex-
citing and attractive style. Every
member of both teams battled with
every effort and the result was pleas

FOX HUNTING IN ENGLAND.
It ls Moro Than a Sport; 1t Is Sort
OF Religion.


Of Religion.
In England sport Is not only reli-
giOn: II il the religion. If Il man Is
good sportsman he need not he any
thing else. 1t may seem hyperbolical
to describe fox hunting as religion
and the fox as a deity, but 1t is bare.
bald eXactitude The true fox hunt
ing sportsman exhibits all the attri'
butes of the devotee. the fanatic, the
martyr. He is ready to die for his
faith am sure he would cheerfully
allow himself to be burned alive rath-
er than hunt bag Of aniseed. His
friends would cut him dead if they
suspected him of treason to the pure
ideal of fox hunting. His clubs would
refrigerate him. He would be a mark
ed man He would be a pariah. an
outcast. bounder. an outsider
The power of the caste of fox hunt
ers Is as formidable as the power OF
the various Indian castles. 1t is
mightier engine than the law. for 1t Is
driven by public opinion. The county
would ostracize the wretch caught In
the act of violating the fox hunting
code. His career would be ended.
Never more could he hold up his head.
He would be leper. The taint OF
aniseed would hang about him for
ever. James Douglass in London

with its synonymous terms Of solid

Ashenback says that when he was
managing the Shreveport team Of the
Southern league some years ago he
had catcher who could hit some,
but who had the very serious weak
ness of not being able to gauge foul
ball no matter how easy 1t was.
One day a batter raised high foul
directly over the plate, and the catch
er, misjudging it, was hit squarely on
top of the head by the descending
sphere, which knocked off his mask
and bounded away some thirty feet.
That night Ashenback finished his
supper early and was passing out Of
the dining room when he happened to
walk behind this catcher. who was de-
vouring his evening meal with gusto
and enthusiasm. Stopping at the ta'

which he could enter the church quite
privately. Silently and alone he would
sit In one of the pews with his fore
head resting on his hands while the
organist played over number OF fa-
miliar and impressive hymn tunes.
