GLUE took revenge

CACTUS CLUB took revenge on the
City National bank basketball
~ team Saturday night. for the de-
feat handed out by the bakers two weeks
ago. The City league champions won
by a score Of 80 to 26 in a bitterly con-
tested game on the Y. NJ. c. A floor.
The teams were very evenly matched
and only superior basket throwing by
the Cactus gave them the victory. The
Bowmans seldom missed when they had
n chance at the basket, while Lyman
and Shea. for the Bankers. had all kinds
Of tough luck in their shooting.
The bankers had good combination
and matched their opponents. man for
man, with the solitary exception Of
best man on the floor. Honors for the
bankers went to Henry Schumacher,
who played whale of a game" in
more ways than one. Henry was down
right, but once the bail was in play he
went back TO guard and the game he
put up qualities him as one Of the best
guards in the city.
George Biefer was the big score get
ter for the bankers He played his best
game OF the season. Shea and Done
had a great tussle, with the honors
about even.
Harold Bowman in Game.
Harold Bowman, student at A. and
NJ. college, Mesilla Park, Joined his
brothers on the Cactus team. He had
some trouble working into the team
combination but in the second half he
was part of the machine Schuma-

from the center of the floor, but he had
taken three steps and the basket didn't
count. In fact, it counted against the
bankers, for Demar Bowman scored on
the foul throw.

At half time the Cactus had lead OF

on Lyman i'm the early part of the sec

but referee A L. Holm was perfectly
right. for Lyman's holding tactics were
illegal
The bankers started a rush and drew
up close to the Cactus and, with 10 min
utes to go. the score was 20 to IS, with
the Cactus on the long end Curly Bow
man broke the bankers streak and the
club team went to the front But near
the close of the game the bankers
rushed again, Biefer scoring on two
long throws The final score was % to

KNAPP IRRESPONSIBLE FROM BOOZE;
PROBABLE Defense IN TIGER TRAGEDY

Although Henry U. Johnson, attor-
ney for Arch Knapp, charged with
killing William N. Williams, had not
outlined the theory of the defense yes
terday 1t was believed that Knapp
would contend that he was SO drunk
that he was not accountable for what
he was doing. and that he really had
no intentions of shooting. even after
he had taken his revolver in hand.
Throughout the examination of the
states witnesses, Attorney Johnson
has insisted that each witness state
exactly in what condition Knapp was
at the time of the shooting.
"Just how drunk was he?" was the
question asked of every one of the
states witnesses yesterday and this
morning.
Used Gun to Scare.
1t is believed that Knapp will con-
tend that he merely took his revolver
out to scare Williams, who had sworn
at him. and that in his drunken stupor,
he had touched the trigger discharg.
ing the gun. What was done with
the revolver after the fatal shot was
fired is not known and this will no
doubt be one of the questions Knapp
will have to answer If he is placed
on the stand.
The defense has also placed special
emphasis in cross examination on the
| operations at the blind tiger" and II
is generally presumed that the defense
will attempt to shift the blame for the
crime on the fact that authorities were
negligent in allowing this place to op
crate, which apparently was sane
toned by the authorities, for the evi
dence shows that the place was as
