SOME PIGS

Ellis Byington on Tuesday morning
reported very material addition to
his home, in the form of litter of
twelve fine pigs, all from one Hamp-
shire sow. Such production as this
does not indicate the diminishing of
the hog population. AS an opponent
of race suicide, it would seem that the
Byington sow is entitled to the "iron

Central High, by defeating Germantown

league game of the season. took the lead
i'm the race for the city championship. 1t
was Al Mouradan's field goal that gave
the Crimson and Gold the lead and ultimate
victory. Trautwein and Schwartz never
played better. in the opinion of many of
the fans, and Armstrong and Hackman
helped in the teamwork
Germantown has a winning team in
Langner. Fisher, Betzmer, Hausser and
Burnett. Burnett got too rough as the
game progressed, and four personal fouls
sent him to the sdcines Surgeson. who
took his place, scored a field goal which
made Central worry, but time was soon
up and Coach Usiton's boys were winners.
Northeast Beats Trades
Trades School nearly sprang another sur
prise by upsetting Northeast High in the
league game yesterday, for the Red and
Black won by a single point margin. IS

ability at the foul line, Trades would have

SCHEDULE FOR TOMORROW NIGHT
Barrett vs.. Mdvale, Hale ~ Kiburn vs.. Brill

The Dsston basketball team did not run
true to form in the first half of it's game
at the Ryan A. G. last night. They started
off poorly and were soon in the rear of a
ll-to-i total, but suddenly the Sawmakers
woke up and surprised themselves. Young
shot two field goals and Mccain one. and
the former several fouls. The score was
only several points apart and at the con-
clusion of the first half but two points
separated the combatants at Is to 1G.
There were visions of a defeat for the boys
from the Falls and several spectators re-
marked If Disston had IA foul shooter they
would be away ahead, as Young only Gagged
eight out of sixteen free attempts.
Then the second half began, and both
ran true to form, and when the din Of the
battle had ceased Disston was on the
short end of a 59-to-22 score and what
looked to be the biggest surprise of the
season went up in smoke. Possibly a pho
tographer who made some pictures be-
tween the half was responsible. for the
SaWmakers certainly lost their shooting eyes
in the first round They appeared be-,
wldered and were outclassed that al
most record total was registered by their
opponents
In the other game Standard Roller Bear
ing defeated Fairbanks. 81 to II.
Camden and Trenton Again
Camden journcyed to Trenton last eve-
ming ana 1ell victim 10 lne IOttefS DV the
score of 33 to 27. AS a result the Skeeters
have dropped out of first place and Trenton
has passed De Ner and is now in fifth
position in the race. The same opponents
meet again this evening, but the scene of
the battle is reversed, this time the cage
at Camden being used.
Hcnry's players cannot regain first posi-
fion even with win, and If they de-
feated win fall back to tie with Jasper
and Trenton for second place. The Pot
ters have been accustomed to play good
ball in Skeeterville, and Adams and his
men will be forced to extend themselves
to gain the decision.
Last nights conflict was another close one
until the last three minutes. The Skeeters
were only n point behind when Harry
Franckle came through with two field goals
and Doe Newman one and settled the issue.
The field goals were Trenton, ., and
Camden, G, and they went to Newman, 2
Tome, Geig, Franckle, Adams. 2
Steele, .; Dolin / Brown. l. At foul
shooting Curiette Gagged Is out of 20 and

! the star at goal shooting, and he was OPP
posed to Jack Adams. The play was clean
