TONOPAH GIRLS ON
RED SIDE OF LEDGER
BOYS REDEEM THE ToURNA-
MENT BY WINNING FROM
THE MlLLERiTES

Last evening the girls basket ball
team of the Reno high school scored
an easy victory over the team OF the
local high school. The Reno girls
were entirely too fast and clever for
our lassies, who also had the jinx OF
hard luck camping on their trail,
especially as regards basket shooting.
Time and again Tonopah played the
ball down the field to their basket
only to lose it after an unsuccessful
attempt at a goal The game was
marred by repeated fouling on the
part of both teams, Reno, however,
making the most fouls. Bonnie Leon
the brilliant forward for Reno, was
easily the star of the game and her
basket shooting evoked much ap,
pause from the audience. The game
resulted in victory for Reno by a
score of 1873 over Tonopah. The
Reno girls have decided to stay for
the annual Junior hop to be given at
the high school this evening and
will leave for their home town in
the morning.
The game between Millers and To
nopah resulted in victory for Tono-
pah by a score of 1912. None Of
the Tonopah players were up to form
in this game or Millers would have
been defeated by larger score. Pink
staff of Millers played the star role
in this game, as his floor work was
marvellous to say the least Millers
showed some class in the last half
but Tonopah had then too much Of {
start and they were unable to comt
up with them however, they are Ger
tainly clean bunch of players AM
are there from start to finish The
audience was the largest that hai
ever turned out to any basketball
game in this city, and the local gym
was too small to hold many who were
turned away.

rules of the church forbade the re-
marriage of divorced persons except
under extenuating circumstances.
Mrs. Tiedmann was formerly married
to the son of wealthy glove manu-
facturer of Utica, N Y. Coming to
Nevada for a divorce, she first lived
in Tonopah, then in Reno, afterwards
establishing a residence at Carson
City, where she secured her divorce
recently, together with $500 month
alimony and 500 month for the
support of the children. She also re-
ceived half of the extensive commun-
ity property. When the party were
declined the offices of the church
they were married by Reno justice
of the peace.
