not be a minor league man in the coun-

suit of the meeting.
Chairman Hermann, of the commits
sion, said:
stThe requests made by the minors
We're fair in every case OF course.
there had to be some exceptions made
where agreements were in vogue pre-
vious to this meeting. However, we
found these to be decidedly few and
I think we have bettered the condition

BITIITER WINS HARD MATCH.
With Barred for Using strangIe Hold
in Third Fall.

Battle Greek. Jan. John BilIiter, OF
Toledo. retained his title as lightweight
wrestling champion, defeating Henry
With, of Chicago, in a hard contest
After each had had won a fall, Wirth
was disqualified for using the strange
hold. which was barred.
BiIliter won the first fall from Wirth
in 81 minutes. The fall was accom-
plished by a toe hold and half Mel
son.
The second fall was taken by Wirth
in q minutes with full hammerlock.
The men had been wrestling II min
utes for the third fall when BilIiter
was given the decision. Wirth had been
warned four times by the referee to
keep away from the strangle hold and
when he resOrted to it for a fifth time,
it was with difficulty that the men
were torn apart.
The match was exciting throughout
and was free from rough tactics until
each had won a fall. Both men dis
played much cleverness in making and
breaking holds and until he began
using the foul hold, Wirth was a big
faVOrite.

IS HARD LUCK YEAR
Local Fishermen Find Bust
ness Has Been Ruined by
Continued Winter.
MANY NETS CAUGHT IN The ICE.

This winter has been the hardest
and most Improbable one for fisher
men in the history Of Lake Michigan, =
said one of the local fishermen today.
"There has hardly been a week since
January | that the tugs COULD get out
to the fishing grounds and lift the nets
and hooks and not sufficient amount
of. money has been realized to pay the
coal bills, let alone the hired help.
Prices have not been any too high,
except at the present time it now be-
ing the Lenten season, when a great
er amount of fish is demanded than
any other period of the year. Still
the tugs are frozen up at the docks
and not able to move. Owners have
lost hundreds of dollars because Of
the heavy ice.
But this is not the worst feature.
There is not tug owner or fisherman
operating from this port, but who has
hooks or nets somewhere in the ice.
The estimated value of this property
is safely $4,000. No one knows
whether a single hook or net will be
recovered when the ice disappears.
1.-THE chances are that the ice foes
will either break off the buoys or
carry them away with the nets and
hooks. In that event, the loss can
easily be seen and there is not a tug
man who can afford to stand such
losses.
sit is hoped that with the disap-
pearanee of the ice the nets and hooks
will be found and that a month or six
weeks of good and profitable fishing
will be enjoyed and that viii help

Along the banks Of the streams about
Kenosha are piled up drifts of snow
all the way from one to five feet high.
With this state of affairs in evidence,
people who own property on the front
and also mariners, predict freshet
that will surpass those in previous
years. A sudden warm spell and thaw
will cause oceans of water to flow from
the surrounding country down the hills
to the creeks.

VICTORY FOR kENI)sHA
Local High School Players
Defeat Racine on Neutral
Ground
RACINE TEAM BADLY cRIpP! LED

The Kenosha high school basket ball
five won its way,sto place in the
race for state honors at Waukegan
Friday night when the local team de-
teated the team representing the Ra-
cines high school by a score of 81 to
q, in one of the best games ever seen
in Waukegan. In keeping with the or
ders of the committee in charge of the
state championship tourney the game
was played on neutral grounds and with
neutral officials. The Racine team was
badly handicapped in the game on ac-
count of the fact that four OF the
members were substitutes. On Friday
morning members Of the Racine team
who We're accustomed to smoking were
called before the principal Of the school
and notified that they could not take
part in any athletic contests i'll the
name of the school and this resulted in
the captain and three other members
being put out of the game. The re-
tirement of these players was regretted
by the members of the Kenosha team
as the local players felt certain that
they would be able to repeat the vic
tory won In Kenosha short time ago
with any team that Racine could put
on the floor.
More than og6 hundred students
Of the Ken6sha high school went to
WIaukegan to witness the game and there
was some roofing for the local players.
At the end of the first half Of the
game the Kenosha boys had rolled up a
score of 10 to and in the second half
the Kenosha boys did not play to their
full strength.
Under the arrangement made by the
state committee the Kenosha team will
play the team of the Baraboo high
school on next Friday evening and this
will be the last game before the teams
are called to appleton for the final
round for the state title.
