DEFEATED
Jewell Team Wins From Webster
City High School Basket Ball
Squad BY Score Of
81 to 80.
IN ARMoay SATURDAY NIGHT.
Absence Of Berggren and France is
Factor in Defeat Of the
Home Boys.
N ARMoRy SATURDAY NIGHT.

, With two of their best men on
the side; lines, caused from injuries
received in the game with Sioux
City Friday night, the local basket
ball team went down in defeat to
the Jewell city team in fast game
at the armory Saturday evening.
The final score was 81 to 80 in fav-
or Of the Jewell team. Although it
was expected that France would be

thought better to let him rest until
the contest with Fonda to be played
here next Friday evening. In spite
Of the handicap of the locals, how
ever, they made their opponents ex-
ert themselves to their utmost.
When the first whistle sounded
Talcott and Stebbins were placed in
the places Of Berggren and France.
The game started out with rush.
For almost three minutes the men
on both sides struggled but could
not land the first score. After three
minutes hard play Jewell managed
to lodge the leather in the basket
for the first goal. In short time
after this, Webster City counted one
basket. The first few minutes Of
play found the new men on the To-
cal lineup slightly nervous. How
ever, after playing a short time,
they picked up and entered the game
with some stunts which showed they
were not misplaced. The old men

GOING AFTER THE
LITTLE TRUSTS
A Suggestion to the Grand Jury
and County Attorney Of Ham
ilton County.

Des Moines, Jan. 29.-The Des
Moines printing combine has been
dissolved and thus there is one less
trust in Iowa.
The dissolution was not due to
anything done by the greater Des
Moines committee, which is closely
identified with all the big public
service corporations and the "big
business of the capital city. The
printing combine went to pieces be-
cause the Polk county grand jury
was too !nquisitive and some Of the
courts seemed to be impervious to
the pressure from "big business
which was locally applied.
Incidentally the death Of the
printing combine is big feather in
the cap Of James M. Pierce, of the
Homestead, who was some time ago
threatened with libel suit because
OF a pamphlet which he got out Civ
ing in detail the methods OF doing
business OF the trust. It told Of q
certain door In an off1ce block with
a plain number on 1t and back OF
the door was a girl at desk and a
phone, and how this little Office was
connected up with all the concerns
In the trust. and price fixing and
business division were supposed to
be carried on.
Herein may be found some valu-
able pointers to the grand jury and
the county attorney OF Hamilton
county. We are prone to denounce
the big trusts lika the beef combin-
alton, the sugar monopoly. etc., etc,
while overlooking the little trusts

WEBSTER CITY MAN
BUYS 100000 FARM
Hen. John L. Kamrar Purchases
Nearly 1000 Acres Near City
Of Des Moines.

Hon. John L. Kamrar of this city
has just closed the biggest land deal
ever made by a Hamilton county
m7n, involving nearly one thousand
acres OF land valued at 100000. A
Des Moines dispatch of Saturday
says:
]. L. Kamrar of Webster City,
yesterday purchased the big Bar
croft farm OF nearly one thousand
acres just southeast Of the army
post This is probably the largest
farm owned by any one party close
to Des Moines. It was formerly the
home Of the late Judge Bancroft.
who drove back and forth daily to
his law Office in Des Moines. Since
Judge Barcroft's death his son, Rus
sell A. Bancroft, has owned this
farm until the sale made yesterday
to ex-senator Kamrar for a consider
alton OF over 100000. Mr.. Kam-i
rar may remove to Des Moines.
Mr.. Kamrar, in response to an in
quiry from the Freeman-Tribune to-
day, says the report of his buying
the land is true, but that he has no
thought Of removing to Des Moines.

customed to the signals as the regu-
lars, and the old players did not
play with their usual confidence
Their team work was not up to the
usual standard. In this respect the
teams were almost even, though It
Is probable that Jewell had shade
the better OF 1t. During almost the
entire first half the score was about
even. However, near the end OF the
first division the Jewell bunch OBJ
tanned small lead which they kept
up. At the end Of the first half
the score stood II to IL in Jewels
favor. Stebbins, who had been do-
Ing some good work. was replaced
BY Daniels. This was done because
the session was thought to be q lit
tie. too long for stebbins. During
the first half Talcott had to his cred
it four baskets. His work was lit
tie short OF wonderful for q new
man. Some Of his successful at
tempts were from very hard angles.
When the whistle for the second
half sounded the game started with
unusual vigor. The Jewell bunch
did some great playing. Some Of the
baskets thrown by Glaman OF that
team were from the middle of the
room ana were greeted with enthus-
iasm from every spectator in the
house. Hanson, the clever left for-
ward, also pulled off some stun
ners." In the second division, "Jiml
mie" Talcott kept up his game Of
the first half and procured four
more baskets. Dodge also did his
share Of the work and Is credited
with several scores. Meller and Nc
Kee had more than their share OF
hard playing. In the absence of two
Of their team mates they were kept
busy. Daniels played very good
game. Had the other "regs'' been
in their places there is no doubt but
that the score would have taken on
an entirely different aspect.
The next game will take place In
the armory tonight. The alumni of
the high school will play the regu-
lar team. According to the line up
this should be game worth seeing.
as some OF the men who will play
tonight are old-time stars. The OBJ
ject Of the game will be to lift the
present debt Of the athletic associa-
tion. The entire door receipts will
go for this purpose. Although It is
thought the high school team will
defeat the alumni, the "old boys
will give them hard tussle. The
usual entrance fee Of 25 cents will
be charged at the door and fans
should turn out and help the cause.
The alumni team have had some
good practice in the past week for
this game.
The lineup In the game Saturday
evening was as follows:

CHANGES FOR
SCHOOL TEAM


What chance has the high school
team to win this county Champion
shtpf According to some members
OF the faculty lisa einch. But re-
ports from around the county show
that nearly every team has been
strengthened and when ssPlay ball!.''
Is called there may be some sur
.prises. At any rate the league will
BE- very interesting, although Perth
Amboy's aggregAtions have usually
been q little too speedy for the
county mines.
Woodbridge expects to rip up
things as they have in basketball
and while they have no sensational
additions to their baseball squad as
far as players ara concerned, still
they Will surely improve greatly
through the aid OF their new coach.
Mr.. Ryder. of the w. III. S. faculty.
Coach Ryder's aid was plainly seen
In the difference between the bas-
ketbail team OF last a and the
one which nearly trimmed the Iosaf
school this season.
MetHchen also believes they will
come In strong this season. New
Brunswick high school has one adj
ditlon who they believe will be q
great factor In their squad. The
addition Is O pitcher who appeared
here last week In a basketball game
against the local school with the
county seat high school team. Smith
Is the new mans name and his
position is on the slab, which, of
course, is one OF the most important
on the diamond. It will be remem-
bered that New Brunswick high
schools weakness last season was ON
the mound aud so lie Smith proves
to be good the team will be greatly
improved.
Perth Amboy also expects great
things. Leg Spencer, one OF last
seasons pitchers, Is said to have
practiced pitching all winter and
will naturally be In fine trim when
the season rolls around. Walter
Schilke, who pitched for some Mat
avian mines last season, will be a
candidate for a berth on the varsity
squad this season. Little has been
heard from South Amboy.
With the above named additions
to the different teams 1t Is very like
~ that an interesting series will be
started when April looms up.

A STATEMENT
FROM REFEREE
Van Mulchahey Says Rey-
noIds Did "TaIk Back

An attempt has been made to cast
reflection upon the EVENING NEWS
sporting page. The EVENING
NEWS Is proud OF its page aud the
accuracy OF all accounts appearing
thereon, and stands ready to defend
itself at all times. There waa a
story printed In these columns last
Monday concerning the Riverside
X. o. X. A, game on Saturday night
at the Auditorium, In which 1t is
stated that William Reynolds, CEN
ter for the Riverstdes, talked
back" to Referee Van Mulchahey
and came within an ace OF being
expelled from the am for that Of
Tense. Although we have nothing
against Mr.. Reynolds, personally,
in Justice to our readers we have
taken steps to ~disproye the veraeity
of an alleged statement by Mr.. Rey-
holds, which appeared In another To-
cal paper, In which he is credited
with the passing the lie to our In
itial story.
The accompanying statement has
been solicited from Referee Mulcha-
hey. 1t will, without doubt, set at
rest the minds of our followers and
prove the veracity of the Monday
'~swrite-up." With the appearances
of this declaration by the official
in that gamey the entire matter Is
laid aside for the ages to come, so
far as the EVENING NEWS is con
cerned:
Following is the signed statement:
Feb. %. 1912
Sporting Editor. EVENING NEWS:
Dear Sir.-As per your request, /
wish to state that during the game
last Saturday night between the X
%. X. A., of New brunswick, and the
Riverside A. G., of this city, Mr..
William Reynolds did object very
strenuously to a decision and did
give what is frequently termed,
back talk" His language was a
kind not often heard on a basketball
court and would have been suffi-
eient justification for his being
barred from the league for the rest
OF the season.
Sincerely yours,
