Saturday night the local team
journeyed over to Beaver Dam, de-
feated before they left home. Sew
eral fans accompanied them, but not
as many as came here with the VIC
torious Beaver Dam team the night
before. A good bunch of spectators
were at the elegant new opera house
to see the fun. This court, though
little small, is one of the best in West
Kentucky, and very large crowd
can be comfortably seated. The
game started about $3.50 and after
the first toss up 1t was only a ques-
ton of what the score would be.
Some of the visitors showed game
ness and played hard. 1t was this
faction that kept the score from go
ing into the millions. Others SEEM
ed in trance and took little interest
in the scrap. The w. X. s. fellows
piled up eighty points while the Wis
itors could barely rake up five, one
of these being awarded by the ref
cree. Only one field goal was made.
The line up was the same as the
night before except that Thomas was
at guard for w. X. S. in veller's
place and James Glenn replaced King
for Hartford. A. Barnett tossed up
the ball and Mckinney umpired.
Beaver Dam has a mighty good
basketball team and they acted very
wisely N selecting M. Barnes as their
leader. This young athlete has no
time to wrangle with the officials.
He is always too busy playing basket
ball. In the above two games he was
all over the floor. making goals from
every angle and in neither contest
was there a foul called on him. He
is fast and clean and just the man
to captain a team. Captain Barnes
has four good men to assist him and
this w. X. s. team, we think, is en-
titled to a little more recognition
throughout the State. A State high
school championship wouldn't look
bad coming to Ohio county.
The Central City Argus of last
week contains what is supposed to be
write-up of the Central City-Hart-
ford A. A. game here several days
ago, but it is far from being a fair
description of the contest and does
justice to neither the Argus nor the
Hartford people. Whoever the writ
err is he is not. We do agree with
him on one thing, however, and that
is that they had no referee. We
don't know why the Central City
fellows failed to bring one as they
were allowed expenses for an extra
man, who was supposed to be ref
cree. or course we saw the need of
referee, every one did. but as the
visitors were allowed this official We
felt reluctant about volunteering one.
That article in the Argus was mark
ed as having been slipped by the
censor. For the life of us we can't
see how the censor missed 1t. AL
though he might be blind in both
eyes, II he had just slight sense Of
smell left. he would certainly detect
such junk as that.
The Livermore High School will
meet the local school at DR.. Beans
court Friday night. There are some
coming basketball stars on our school
team and we should encourage them
with our presence at this game.
Baseball.
Before the spring fever strikes
us let's get buoy and start the base
ball bandwagon rolling. We have q
chance to lease the park again this
year and we must not fell to at least
do this. Some repairs will be nee
essary but We can easily raise the
coin for this and other expenses IL
we will get at It. Our plan is to
have a meeting Of all baseball fans
soon and discuss prospects for the
coming season. This crowd to elect
a board of three to control the ath-
letics, and elect q manager. This
board to be held responsible for all
