half
Recently certain indignant citizens of New York
because the police requested pedestrians to use
some care for their own safety. collected a lot OF
court decisions made nearly years ago
stating that pedestrians vehicles have equal
rights Of way. These decisions supposed to
show ;nat pedestrians are under no obligation to
use reasonable care in crossing streets
The folly of the thus taken is in trying
to govern traffic conditions today by rulings
nearly two decades ago. The awkward is that
automobiles are the streets in numbers.
They cannot be ignored, If a pedestrian fatally
hurt by a what does it avail HIM if he
was told BY a judge had The remotest con-
cepion of modern traffic that he need look
for himself in crossing walking in the middle of

pedestrians be permitted wander

FAMOUS
indianapolis Team Defeated by
Celina Tuesday Night in Game
RepIete With Thrills.

In a contest fully equaling the one be-
tween the locals and the Dayton Cadets
few weeks ago for thrills and excite
ment the former defeated the EN- Roes,
of indianapolis, Ind, who have been the
champions of Indiana for the past three
years, on the Park floor last Tuesday
night by the score of 80 to 29.
The En-. Roes strted the contest with
rush and in the first half mad the locals
running in circles. Bill SChock made the
first points for the Mercelinas with two
foul throws, making the score II to 2.
in favor of the Hoosier State aggrega-
tion. Celina had some awfully hard luck
in the first half and though they mad in
Vulnerable chances at the basket the ball
seemed inclined to stay out. With five
minutes to play, Dutch Schultz made Ce-
lina's first field basket and the first frame
ended 10 to ~ in favor of the opponents
In the second half the MeTcelinas seem
ed to shake off hard luck that had been
with them in the first and made four
field baskets in lightning succession, MAX
ing the score 20 to 10 in their favor.
From then en- it was nip and tuck be,
tween the two teams, first one forging
ahta ac and tneu the other. However, the
locals managed to gain a slight adVan-
tage of three points over the EN- Roes
ana were much in the lead when the
contest finished
Manier was the star basket-get of
the locals with five while SchuIte made
four. The stars of the Indianapolis team
were Moore, who got 5 field baskets and
3 fouls ana Sanders who put field bias
kets.
The refereeing was satisfactory to both
the players and the spectators, and their
decisions met with no kicking, which
made the game more pleasant all around
Next week will see the Buckeye Paints
of Toledo, one of the fastest aggregations
in the state, or the Ottawa Germans, the
old scrapping enemy, on the local floor
and fast game is assured in either case.
on March 2, the Dayton Cadets will play
a return game here and the locals mean
to have revenge for the defeat handed
out to them few weeks ago.

fore February 20 and also requires that

BEN'S RESPONSIBLE
For the Carp, but Blast 'Em, They
Are Not Seined Out.

For a number of years both Celina and
St. Marys have been attempting to place
the responsibility of who first placed the
carp in the Grand Reservoir, and it was
but just recently that an old copy of the
st. Marys Leader states that in 1881
Hon. Ben LeFevre procured consign-
ment of the German carp for the big
pond. And like many another importa-
tion, for instance the English sparrow,
the German carp did not take wen. They
grew large in food value from the meat
Of the luscious catfish and the finely flaw
ored gamy bass while crappies, perch,
and all other fish far surpassed them. So
that the carp came to be regarded as a
