Did Gandil tie that mark this year
or didn't he?
One Stattstician who handles un-

winner of that bonus. Which is

eight assists by each statistician. But
there is difference In the error col

loss of 1000 to Chick"
During the middle of the season

TOXIC, Feb. %. (By mail)-Baron
Hayashi. japanese minister to China,
does not hesitate to make It plain
that Japan is preparing to ask China
for a large concession at Using Tau,
the colony wrested from Germany by
Japanese naval and military forces
at the outset of the great war.
Baron Hayashi Is here to confer
with his government in regard to the
Chinese situation. Japan can dis
pose Of the Shantung railway without
Waiting for the peace conference and
it is absurd TO doubt that this road
will come under Japan's Influence,
he told the newspaper men.
Japan will also ask China to agree
to the establishment OF a Japanese
concession at Using Tau.
ct is necessary for us to secure
a very large area for this concession,
instead of small territories held in
other Chinese ports. In other words,
Japan will get practically all the adj
vantages of leased territory at Using
Tau, although in name the former
Teuton colony will not become Japan
leased territory.
Whether other foreign countries
will be permitted to establish settle
ments at Using Tau as in other Chin
csc ports is question which / canno,
discuss now"

test clashes of the basketball sea-
con at the Y NJ. G. A gymnasium
last night
Keokuk played Quincy even during
the first half of the contest but lost
ont in the second Man for man. the
local players were the equals OF the
visitors, but the Maroons had more
form and team work. due to the fact
that they have played together all
season and for several seasons preyi-
GUS, while the Y. NJ. c. A. team has
had only few weeks practice.
The game, however. was just as
fast and exciting as 1t possibly could
be and there was large crowd pres
emit Every man on the Keokuk team
deserves credit for the basket ball he
played and it was only Quincy's SD
perior training that gave the visitors
the advantage over the locals. Quin-
ry has dandy team and the visiting
players performed in great style last
night.
