Local basket ball enthusiasts We're
rather disappointed in the poor contest
staged at the Park last Tuesday night
when the local Mercelinas ladled out a
few large gobs of defeat to the Bluffton,
Ind, quintet, by the extremely top-heavy
score Of 81 to r. A much better contest
was expected from the Hoosier State out
nt. but they made the trip to this city in
machines and they didn't get thawed out
enough to play a good game. Scott, the
crack short stop OF the world champion
Boston Americans, who played forward
position with the visitors, ana OF Whom
great things were expected, failed utterly
to live up to the expectations of the fans,
being careful not to get into any scrlm-
images and his main use seemed TO De TO
shoot fouls.
As usual Manier started things for the
Mercelinas with a neat field basket The
members of both teams worked slowly
in the first half. Bluffton getting and
the locals marking Is. Many wild passes
were made and all had difficulty in hand
ling the ball. In the early part of this
half, one of the Bluffton bunch met with
"A slight injury and a substitute finished
the game in his place.
The second half started with a rush,
nd Celina began to get warmed up. The
ball seemed to be irresistably drawn to
the Celina basket as thoug hit was mag
netiZed. Manier playing the leading part
i'm the scoring. When the smoke of the
ed that this clever athlete had scored
twelve of the locals baskets, more than
he has scored in any one game this year.
Dutch Schultz was the next on the list
with seven, Schock got two and Creeden
and Metzner each got two. The star of
the Bluffton aggregation was Nutter, who
made three baskets. Scott, of which so
much was expected, made all the rest of
their points by shooting a field goal and
dropping in four fouls.
Only a small crowd witnessed the de-
feat of the Bluffton bunch, and those
that did attend met with a chilly recep-
ton, as the hall was very poorly heated.
Next Tuesday, the 25th will witness
the fastest game that has been played
on the local floor all season, when the
Dayton Cadets make their third appear
ance in this city The Cadets have lost
II games out of 173 played in the last
seasons and will not be in the mood to
lower one here, but Manager Pulskamp
and his crew of huskies are intending to
make the Gem City defeat column ring up
an even dozen. After the trimming that
the locals gave the world champion Oswe-
goes, they realized that they were right
there with the goods and that the ycouid
play basket ball when they tried They
say that there is no reason why they
should not beat the team from Dayton as
easily as the Oswegos were beaten and
will try their best to accomplish this
purpose.

Gross earning of the United States rail
roads continue to reflect a very large
movement of freight in all parts of the
country, the total of all roads making
weekly returns to Dun's Review that re-
ported for December amounting to S42,
compared with the corresponding month
a year ago.
Practically all roads of any importance
make very satisfactory gains, but the i'm
provement is especially marked on the
leading systems in the South, indicating
a complete recovery from the depression
that prevailed in that section at this time
