RIBBONS DISPLAY GREAT CLEvER.H1ESS
 DEFEATING READING
(BY Wa gner.

Although Chris Leonard would need a. step-1adder to get within talking range of Haggerty, the Ribbon center made the Reading. Pa, giant eat crow last night when the two met at Colonial hall in the big basketball event of the season. Haggerty is re- garded as the Jess Willard of basket ball. He is fast for his size and is generally. a wonderful shot but Leon ard stuck to him like a book agent and prevented the Reading star from getting more than one goal. Incident ally the Ribbons displayed their best form of the season by beating the crack Reading five 33 to 19.
 Because of their victory over the Ribbons in a previous contest the fans thought the locals would take another beating but the Ribbons surprised everybody by their snappy play. Smith played center the last time the Rib bons met Reading but with Leonard doing the jumping and Roxey Roach at guard the locals had much better team work. Their shooting in the first half was wonderful and the pass ing could not have been improved upon.
 It was by getting the jump on the, that the Ribbons won the
 
 Eastern Leaguers when, the first whistle blew and had piled up a lead of 8 to 1 before Reading knew what happened. During the half they rolled up 25 points while Reading got only nine. In the second half Readings defensive play was stronger and the Ribbons could score only eight points.
 Roxey Roach was a star for the locals. Besides his fine blocking he tossed three into the netting. Jimmy Clinton also turned in some long shots and SWenson made the longest hurl of the evening when he caged one all most from the center of the floor. Beckman also did well.
 Sears was the best man on the Reading five. He established a record here by throwing nine out of ten chances from fouls. Haggerty made a great play, which was not allowed be- cause it was in violation of the rules. When the referee tossed the ball l Haggerty grabbed the leather as it descended and without moving from the center flung the ball into the net l ting This feat was loudly appIauded. |
 In the preliminary the Rovers won from the GoldE five by 30 to IS. The | game was hard fought in the earlier stages but the Rovers were too big i for their opponents.

U-BOAT is MERCHANT SHIP
international Questions Brought Up
by Arrival Of German Submarine
in the u. S.

Washington, July 1O.-The U-boat
liner which passed through the Vir-
ginia capes will be treated by the
United States government as a mer-
chant ship.
The vessel will be permitted to dis
charge her cargo, to take on cargo
for the return voyage, and sufficient
her to reach home.
This program of the state depart
ment is based upon official reports
that the German underwater boat
Is not armed with torpedOes and Is
not fitted with torpedo tubes.
The German embassy is understood
to be sending q communication to the
state department requesting that the
U-bOat be treated as q merchantmen
and setting forth the grounds for
such action.
The British embassy is preparing to
demand that the vessel be treated as
a warship and required to leave
American waters within "a hours or
be interned.
The United States cannot perceive
any legal difference between a surface,
a subsurface or an underwater YES
sci.
The legality Of a blockade depends
entirely upon its effectiveness. If the
U-boats cannot be stopped, If COM
merce with this country should not be
made sufficiently dangerous to justi-
fy the claim as to the effectiveness of
the blockade, then, of course. the
blockade loses It's force.
