Turner'S Falls wins, % to "a III Clos
est Game Of Season-Eddie Nc
LaughIin with Visitors.

4 Turner's Falls team of which the
star was Eddie Mclaughlin OF old-time
basketball fame, defeated Company |
by q score OF % 10 "a in the Armory
Saturday evening in the closest, clean
So contest OF the local season. 1t is
to be regretted that there was a dis
pute at the end of the second period
as to whether there had been an
agreement to play two Commute per-
iods or three II minute periods. As
the contest ended the score at the end
of the second period was % to 81 and
no third period was played.
The visitors brought up a team of
clever basketball players and they dis
posed themselves to the best adyan-
tage to handle the stars of the local
team. Mclaughlin played Dunlevy and
his greater experience and SIZE had
much 10 do with the score. Dunlevy
Gagged the ball twice, while his oppon-
cnt landed it in the net just double
that number of times
/ One thing was especially noticeable
I in the play Of Mclaughlin, and for
hat matter almost all the time in the
piaE Of his mates. Ii was that when

followed much closer the rules of foul
nag than did the members of the local
team, but only two fouls were called,
and under the rules in force in the
game it required three to score a point
against a team. Both fouls called were
against the local team early III the first
period. That more were not called
WIS due to the leniency of the referee
The visitors built up substantial
lead IN the first period, which closed
with the score Is to 10 in their favor.
The play was fairly even in the last
period until after the halfway mark
had been passed. Then Manning got
partially clear twice and tossed two
sensational baskets and the game
speeded up. When what proved to be
the final whistle blew the home team
lacked one basket of making the score
tie.
There was considerable criticism OF
the referee for allowing continued play
when it was apparent to those seated
near the cad boundaries that the bal
had gole outside of the court, but il
the absence of marks on the floor the
criticism was hardly fair 40 the of

The Utah-ldaho Sugar company
operating at Grants Pass. has raised
the scale paid for sugar beets for
the next year to 81 minimum. Farm
ers have made money at $3.50 and
there seems no reason why the acre
ass should not be greatly increased
