|Marshallites To
Play Next Friday
For Championship

The first of series OF basketball
games for the high school champion
ship of Eastern Virginia will be played
Friday night at John Marshall gymna-
sum between the Marshallites and the
quint representing the high school OF
Newport News.
Last year the local boys won the
honors. and because of this fact the
Tidewater youngsters will exert every
effort to regain their lost laurels. New
port News lost good man when
Christian Cox. who is now student at
Richmond College, graduated last
June. He was undoubtedly one of the
best preparatory school guards in the
State. John Marshall has also lost
some good men. but the new ones
have been showing very good form
and they are very hopeful OF duplicat-
ing their past performances.
This game is expected TO be one OF
the fastest played In Richmond this
season, owing to the keen rivalry that
exists between the two schools. Both
auints are trained to the minute and
are prepared to put up contest worth
witnessing.

after Demarest had played his MEM

Later, in 1910. Cline lost the 1872
title to Willie Hoppe. This game was
played at the New York Theater.
Cline had the contest practically won

miscue near the finish. Since then he
has figured In all OF the big tourna-

When used for arts and trades the
powder is a necessity to manufacture
ers, but when used for toilet purposes

medicinal purposes no stamp is re-

BY CLEAN HITTING
WHITE IS WINNER
DEFEATS JOE sHUGRUE. MAKING
HIS EVERY HIT .
COUNT.

New York. Dec. 2s.--Charlie White.
Of Chicago, won by dint of clean. hard
hitting over Joe Shugrue tonight at
Madison Square Garden. Shugrue
forced White, but White met him
every time he came with lefts to the
head and body that hurt the Jersey
boy. At times Shugrue, upsettins all
his former fghting plans went on the
defensive.
White made every blow count. He
measured Joe every time he dashed out
with the utmost GOODNESS. When Shu-
grue wanted to land Clearly he found
Whites defense a stone wall White
left the ring without showing the least
bit Of a mark to show that he had been
fighting one of the best that New York
can produce.
White had no trouble in hitting Shu-
grue, although he could not get a clean
whack at Joe's chin. The Jersey boy
always kept his open hand tucked be-
hind his left shoulder He protected
his chin so well that he left his body
a mark for Whites unerring left.
Joes weak attempts at hitting had
little effect on the Chicago lad.
