twenty-acre tract in the Woodley
Park section which he has contracted

A feature of the convention which
was unusual was the holding of spe-
cial conferences at meal times. Realty
men interested In some particular
phase of the business would gather at
some appointed hotel and discuss that
topic while at their meals. recog-
nized authority on the subject under
discussion would preside, and after a
brief outline of the matter at hand
there would follow general discus
sion.
These conferences became so popu-
lar that we could not find dining rooms

taken before Justice of the Peace

SIKESTON TAKES
CHAMPIONSHIP CUP
Goal TOssers Defeat Caruthers-
vile In Final Game AZ to %
Other Scores.

After having Won three games yes
terday to get back into the running for
the Normal cup awarded to the cham
pion high school basketball team in
the first annual tournament for South
east Missouri high school teams, the
Charlottesville five went down in de
feat in its fourth game yesterday be-
fore the strong Sikeston quintet.
The victors won their game in the
first half of the game when the Ca
Tuthersville boys were tired. In the
second half of the game the Caruth-
ersville boys played the Sikeston men
off their feet and, according to the way
in which they were scoring, had the
game continued five minutes longer
they might have passed the Sikeston
five.
The score OF the final game was
IL to rs, and Sikeston, undefeated
throughout the tournament, carried off
the large silver loving cup. This cup,
if won three years in succession by
Sikeston, will become the permanent
property of that school.
A large crowd of spectators filled
the Normal gym all day yesterday TO
watch the games among the various
high schools, and last night when the
final championship game was played,
much enthusiasm was manifested by
the supporters OF the two high schools.
Charlottesville, during the winter,
defeated the Sikeston team twice, once
in Sikeston and once in Charlottesville,
so that when the two lined up for the
final battle, it was believed that
Charlottesville would repeat its per-
Torrance of the past season.
The three games that Caruthersville
had to play in order to get back into
the running against the one game that
the Sikeston boys had to play in the
afternoon against Poplar Bluff, made
an unequal break and Sikeston early
in the game began to show its super
iority.
Mayfield was allowed to play close
to the goal of his team and the ball
was fed to him by his team mates,
Stone and Arthur. Mayfield was
lucky and in the first half of the con-
test he dropped II goals through the
basket. In the second half he got
only 4.
\. Green, Side and Petty did the

game on account of personal fouls and
