French admiralty said there was no sign

MONTPELIER
Seminary Defeated By Stowe High
School, Is to 20.

In the toughest basketball game staged
in armory hall between school teams in
number of years, Stowe high school de
I feated Montpelier seminary last evening
25 to 20, thereby increasing their chances
! for the league championship. The Stowe
victory was due largely to superior team
work in the final Commute half, al
though, in the opinion of the small but
enthusiastic crowd of spectators, the ref
cree and umpire contributed not a little
by allowing the visitors many free shots
from the foul line. A group OF rooters
near the entrance shouted so vigorously
near the close of the game that Referee
Kenefck called time, pulled ont bis watch
and threatened to give the game to
Stowe lie failed to carry out the threat
but policeman was called by Principal
Hatch of the seminary to stop the root
ing"
Each team played a defensive game
from the start and at times the floor re-
sembled battlefield with more men
prone than standing. The first half end
ed with the score tie at l3 points. but
in the second period the visitors dis
played better knowledge OF teamwork
and gradually crept into the lead. Each
team made nine baskets from the floor,
seminary being defeated because Heath
had more opportunities for free shots
than Hatch or Granai.
Heath was the star of the contest,
making Is OF his teams points, but
Hatch followed closely with five baskets
from the floor.

ASSOCIATIONS ARE A HABIT
We Even Form Clubs Over Question
of Teething Rings VS..
Thumb.

Our passion for getting up associa'
lions is bad symptom Of intellectual
feebleness. Every trade and profess
sion among US, every interest and
prejudice, every aspiration, hypothe.
sis or question about a question has
a gang Of club members at its back.
The fashionable mothers get up So
cieties to determine what plays their
children shall see during the holi-
days. I know of one woman who was
not able to decide whether she should
give rubber ring or a coral to her
-teething child or should leave him to
nature and the thumb. She according
ly formed society. It is called the
Ring and Coral association and meets
twice a month It has recently split
into two organizations through the So
cession Of the antiring and coralites.
By means of these two societies any
mother may today escape the mental
anguish Of making a decision for her
self upon this teething matter.-JOhn

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabe's Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league,
and a guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning, with the score
tied; two Of McCabe's men played out,
and as Bill had only one man extra,
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find man to fill In. He drew big
hick, who said he couldn't play, but for
the fun could fill in There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex-
cited.
Our hero, the hfck, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for a homer. Instead of running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled. Run, you boob,
rum
The hick turned and faced Bill and

JERSEY JUNIOR
TENNIS CHAMPS
WIN A MATCH
After Many Vicissitudes, Soaring
Wilson and Roy March
Finally Cop
TRY CARL'S STIMULANT

The Junior doubles champions of New
Jersey have Travelled a rocky road since
capturing that coveted title and it's at
tendant trophies at Beach Haven three
weeks ago.
In fact. up 20 yesterday afternoon they
had failed to add the scaps of another
pair to their BITS in either friendly matches
or tournament conflicts But the worm
finally turned.
What II their victory was in the first
round of the consolation doubles event ut
the State Junior championship at the
Cynwyd Club? 1t was victory never
thelcss and, anyway, the consolation dou-
bles cups look pretty nifty and will look
even nftier alongside the jersey State
trophies. II the truth must be known, after
Soaring Wilson and Roy March were put
out OF the doubles in the first round the
other day, the consolation doubles cups
looked even better to them than the cham
pionshlp trophies
1t all depends on the perspective.
Carl Fischer Favorite
Young Carl Fischers easy victory over
j. p. Clothier in the Rntepenultmate round
OF the singles was due, so 1t is said, 10 the
amount Of milk and eggs he consumed at
noon, also to the nap which, his envious ri
walls declare, Carl takes every day.
Fischer Is being touted as the winner
OF the Edward Box Cup, but II. f. Dorm
helm, Malcolm Thorpe and Marshall Van
neman will have their little bit to say about
It, particularly the latter. Marshall Van
neman looks like Champion William John
ston at a distance. His hair is the same

sey championship. which Harvey Lake has
been winning since Hector was a pup Will

Many Veterans in Going

BY SANDY McNIBLICK

DOYISH golfers in knckors, with nothing
ID in their favor but their youthful en-
thusIasm and ability to make the shots,
Jared forth today against the grand army
of Bala.
Tbe battle. in the annual blue ribbon
classic M the Bala Golf Club which started
today promises to be just that, clash be-
tween the starry upstarts of the local juve-
nile department and the "nlmost-has-beens-
but-still- kicking" division.
Two or three youthful stars Of national
reputation that had promised TO enter were
Obliged to default at the last minute. but
this worked no great evil, aside from the
natural disappointment. and now the going

Most brill ant of the youngsters is Nor
man Maxwell His golf in the last month
has been Of the nature that bawilders, and
he Is one of the few that was conceded

been accomplished twice in the last three
years in medal play at Bala.
Young Ones
w. b. Haines. the MacBean brothers,
Phil Corson. ]. J. Young, C. j. Corr and
other youngsters illuminated the first days
play and made the 'graybeards" sit up
One Of the real veterans or the Bala
course is George Cascaden Klauder, who
holds the record of the course. with 73,
and was for years the champion.
A. C. Alexander, the present champion,
is another of the vets" not spclt with a

and is one of the od-tImers who is n rock
against which many good youth has
crashed to his doom. Walter Reynolds
isn't 80 aged, but he knows Bala backward,
as does George Hoffner, another OF the best
golfers the city can produce. Hoffner was
brought up at Bala.
Then there's Frank McAdams of the
well-turned shank. whose golf pulsates
from his warm bosom as naturally as his
heart beats.
Elegant Prizes
Sterling prizes of all sorts are displayed
to spur on the golfers to their greatest
effort. The cups are Of particularly fine de-
sign.
While all hands are on deck primarily
TO play golf, this is not the altogether prime
purpose OF the tourney, for II Is n genuine
get-together gathering of the local golf

the fact that J. f. Penrose came all the
way from Tamplco, Greaserland to be pres

He Is having it.
Another ver-the-bounding-main traveller
who couldn't resist the long trip for the
tourney Is Theodore Terry, who is with
us from Havana, Cuba. He found the
turfs and grasses of the Bala course much
TO his liking.
The course is In splendid shape and the
committee came in for n great deal Of
praise

had anything to do with divots as they
were expected to be dislodged.
Behind Closed Gates
Another "hush-hush" meeting was held
last night at the Adelphia Hotel by the
officers and governors of the Cobb's Creek
Golf Club. Though the announced policy
of the club Is 10 suppress all news THAI
would tend to stir up still more the hotbed
in which II Is now turning, we understand
that at the meeting Arthur Edgecomb Rem
dal was TO present his ultlmatum to II.
wellington Wood.
The club looks to be splitting asunder.
One element favors defying the Golf AS
ISOLATION and all It's laws, while the other
would toddle along according to regal die
tates. If the ultlmatum was rejected last
night we suppose another ultimatum wifi
be presented or else the mutineers will
secede. This may blow up the club and
end all the discussion.
We hope not, for II makes many nice
little news nuggets for us.
In the professional field. at least Phila-
delphia can produce talent enough to show
them something in all parts
The latest to show his wares is Emmet
French, a 23-year-old pro, who teaches the
stances and grips which players at York
affect. French lives in Philadelphia and
was born here, absorbing his golf on Phila-
delphia courses, where he caddied and so
on up. II he can hold his pace Of yester-
day through today, none of the exception
ally fast pros at Shawnee will be able
TO hold him.
French led the first days progress of the
tourney last year, too, but he teed off this
morning convinced that this was his day.
