BY defeating the Machine Gun Com
pany last night by the overwhelming
score Of IS to 10, Company Nj won
the undisputed title Of Regimental
Champions. " The game was spirited
from start TO finish but it was very
evident that there was but one team
on the floor and that team was IN"
The Infantrylren used marvellous
strategy in their attacks and made.
each shot count, ard the Machine Gun
ners found Linton and Hoff to I've tow

Tense almost impregnable. Dawes,
Musterman and C.aude were in ex-
eellent form and their shooting was a.
true and fast as that Of distinguish
cd expert on a to hundred yard rapid
fire range
The Machine Gunners have q good
team and were most worthy contenders
for the Championship. They played
well against IN but their weakness
was lack of system both OF attack
and defense. Il was whispered about
last night that Manager Parlett had
forgotten to give them their dose Of

MERCHANTS WANT CREDIT
SYSTEM INSTALLED HERE

That Mexico should have a Deal
ers' Association in which a system of
credits was the main object seemed to
be the concensus Of opinion at the
mass meeting of Merchants in the
City Hall Thursday evening primar-
lily for the discussion of Pay-Ur
Week. Before the meeting adjourned
it was voted to have the Commercial
Club invite Secretary Haines Of the
Columbia Retail Dealers Association
to address a mass meeting Of mer-
chants on the evening of Friday,
February IL.
Such an association as is contem-
plated will protect the merchant from
many of the unnecessary abuses he is
today a prey too. There will
be a complete system Of credits;
proper protection against flake" adj
vertising, those who cash worthless
checks and a myriad of other evils.
Louis Barth was temporary chair
man Of the meeting and about fifteen
were in attendance. The mass meet
ing to be held the eleventh should see
every business mar in the city present
Ito hear Mr.. Haines and to aid in form
