Christian University Of Canton Drops

Jacksonville High School Cancels
Game at Last Moment

Substituted.
For the FIRST dine this season the
Kcnks1k high school basket ball team

For the FIRST dine this season the
Keokuk high school basket ball team
entered a game with every e1pecta-
ton OF getting drubbing. They fin
ished the contest with Christian uni
verdsty Of Canton with the score
standing AZ to IA IN their favor. The
players ON the local team seemed
somewhat surprised when they were
first to score. They were still more
surprised whsn they scored several
times more In quick succession After
feeling the visitors out for few min
utes, however, they got down to bust
ness and played like the veterans
they are until the close OF the game.
The Canton university team was not
originally scheduled to play the local
M. C. A team. Late yesterday
afternoon, however, telegram was
received from jacksonville high
school stating that the team from
that school, scheduled to meet the
high school here last night, was IN
: able to make the trip on account OF
a snow storm IN their section Of the
state which threatened to tie up rail-
road traffic.
When this was learned, Coach Ors-
born got In communication with the
manager of the Canton team and
closed negotiations for that team to
substitute for Jacksonville. In JUS
tice to the team from Canton, it
should be stated that they played a
game Friday night and were In poor
condition to play last evening.
The outcome of the game. however,
would probably have been the same
if they had been in condition At no
time from the first whistle to the
last did they have chance at the
proverbial bacon. Only one basket
was made by the Canton team during
the game, the remainder Of their
points being made on free throws and
one point awarded.
Their style of playing was very
similar to that used by the Quincy
Team, which played here recsu emily
and allowed them very few shots at
the basket from close range.
Jenkins, Vaughan, Huiskamp and
Parsons divided honors pretty evenly
for the local team Persons showed
1lp particularly well On his shots al
the basket from close range. Robert
son starred for the visitors.

the German steamer Bluecher at
anchor in the harbor Of Pernambuco.

OF FIGHTS
Russia Continues to Hammer
Away at the Austrian Front.
News of a Signal Victory Ex-
pected at Any Time.

London, Sept. 3.-The Petrograd
correspondent of the Post sends the
following on the operations on the
Russian front:
Russia is scoring success after suo-
! cess against Austria and is momentar-
lily expecting news of a signal victory.
THE commander-in-chief on the
Austrian front apparently plans to
drive in strongly with one army from
the east, starting from the Russian
provinces adjoining Rumania and in
the meantime merely aims to restrain
tho Austrian advance into the Polish
lprovinces- thus keeping Austria on the
alert along the lfne of two to three
hundred miles.
while pushing temporary advances
in South Poland the Russians were
forcing their way westward from PO-
dolia and Bessarabia upon Lemberg.
i When AuStrianS finally realized these
plans they attempted to turn the Rus
sian left flank near Halle, near the
junction of the Gnita Lipa river with
the Dniester and sanguinary fight
took place there two days ago. The
Austrians were signally defeated los
ing 5000 killed and many prisoners in
cluding one general, 32 guns, stan
dard and quantities of supplies.
Apparently the progress of tho
Southern Russian army from Podolia
in Galicia has been a series of fights
on an increasing scale until a third
river, known as the Foullipa, was
reached. The fight for the possession
of the valley of the Foullipa was Sc
we're. The Austrians had realized the
strength Of the Russians and had
strongly fortified a naturally formid-
able position. This was carried after
| an obstinate fight. The Austrian force,
| a whole army corps, lost about half of
| it's strength.
| These actions occupied the Russian
left. her right still being in Russian
territory. 1t is evident that all of the
actions were part of concerted
movement with the surrounding of
Lemberg as Its objective. thus dealing
| a death blow to the Austrian defense .

blithe Partisan gala had lasted for
three hilarious days. Never had I
seen Paris SO gay. Electric lights
everywhere. arches, bands and flags,
rollicking soldiers, students, tour
lists. girls and beggars! Other cities
have their carnival moods, but in
Paris gayety is an art. Nowhere in
the world are there such enthusi-
astlc demonstrations Of youth and
song, of love and kisses. That night,
along the Seine, laughter exploded
with the fireworks until the dawn
came up. But today-there is no
dancing on the streets of Paris. Oh.
there are still kisses; but they are
different now-they are drowned in
tears! Yes. there is still youth, but
it is ebbing, ebbing away, draining
Paris down to the women and old
men.-Gilett Burgess in Golfers.
