on the curbstone at Seventh and the

early yesterday morning, and the cops
were afraid that Ray might fall of
the curb and get tangled up with the
milkman's horse.
A cop shook him by the shoulder
and asked him IL he wanted cream
in his coffee. Ray rubbed his eyes
and said he never drank coffee. He
was gently lifted " into the patrol

Just a Social Affair.
Clarence Belcher has a tailor shop
the front OF which was wont to
be used as a loafing place. Thurs
day afternoon Haywood Smith and
some others were standing near the
shop and someone made a remark
as Taylor came by about Taylor be-
ing black. Taylor replied that he
was no blacker than the rest OF
the bunch, and the row started.
Smith says that Clarence poked a
gun in his face and Taylor said
Smith used a pair of brass kunckles
on him. Someone did, because his
eye is on the bum. The gun couldn I
be found, neither could the brass
knuckles: The court couldn't make
head or tail out of the evidence, as
it seemed that everybody and no
body was doing and the hitting and

Francis Saloman is a soldier and
he believes in making hay while the

well aware of this and she and
Francis intended to have one long

whether any one was looking OF
not. At the first kiss a policeman
saw them and said nothing.
Francis and Nora were seated in
an army wagon and they stopped
the mules right in the middle OF
the street and the mules went to

Francis and he squealed. Not be-

cop stood by awhile and wondered

Poor Old Father.
The old story of who's Looney

| Court when Tom Snowden had his
father arrested for assault. They had
an argument the day before and Tom
decided that Father had some loose
wheels in his head and he knew little
about machinery. Tom imagined that
his father had hit him.
Father said 1t was Tom who was
looney and he had known Tom long
enough to be aware OF 1t. But It was
all because Tom thinks the old man

"Jedge, All has a daughter wot stays

Lee that he decided to say farewell to
everybody and see st. Peter at the

to take the trip alone. Mary had
promised to take Johnson "for better
or for worse" but nothing was said
about the undertaken when she mar

Johnson insisted that Mary go along

that Mary had him arrested for fear
he would take her along anyhow.
johnson figured that when he was
gone some other man would get Mary,
and that would never do, and he
threatened to hit Mary in the left
pulmonary region and she reniged.
! The court took his personal bonds
not to do such a rash act either to
himself or Mary and told him to go

In the Pennsylvania Interscholastic
League, thirteen games lemain to be
placed. Reading, Lebanon and Cen
trail are fervent contenders. Up to
this point. the race has been decidedly
in favor of Central, but with the dis
qualification of two of the players
during the last week, and the re-
naming Varsity members threatening
to strike, prospects are discouraging.
The disqualification of the two play
ers comes at a bad time. Central is
scheduled to meet its two rivals, Leb-
anon and Reading during the coming
week. The Reading contest is sched
uled for the Chestnut street floor We'd
nesday night, while the .ocal aggrega-
tion will journey to Lebanon Satur-
day night. Central can easily lose the
Lebanon contest, because it is played
away from home. To lose the Read
ing game on the home floor, would

expected to win all their home games

Moore of Lebanon Leads
Pennsylvania League Stars

Moore, the sensational forward of
the Lebanon High school five, is so
far in advance of the other players in
Central Pennsylvania Scholastic
League, in his scoring averages, that
it is doubtful if he will be headed
this season. In the contest at York
last Friday night, his excellent work
boosted his average considerable and
to date, including all games played,
he has averaged ri points to game.
He has played in seven games. Day
hoff, of Steelton and Nyquist, of
Reading. have boosted their average
in recent contests. Harrisburg has
four players in the top ranks. Frank.
of Central, is second to Moore, who
leads the league, with Nyquist, Read
ing, third. Dayhoff, of Steelton, is
fourth and Harris, of Technical High,
is fifth, with Gregory, of Central right
on his heels.

able to win both. Their final game
will be at Reading, March 16, and on
the result of this game may hinge the
pennant of the league. Lebanon
nosed out Reading by one point on
the Lebanon floor which is not much
of a margin. The Berks lads equa1ed
Lebanon's feat of trimming Steelton
on the latter floor. All things con-
sidered, Reading seems to be the fa-
vorite.
In Gregory, Central had the sec
ond highest scorer in field goals per
game. This lad tailed 16 two-point-
ers in the three games in which the
Blue and Gray participated. 1t is not
likely that Coach McCord can put an
other player in the cage who has this
scoring ability. Fields will also be
missed. The standing of the teams to
date is as follows:
