Close Games Feature

NIUoV VNITIN' It NtIININ
Exciting basketball games are all the
rage these days, and cage devotees have
witnessed some hair-raising finishes. espe-
cially since the second half of the Eastern
League was inaugurated.
There is no doubt that enthusiasts of the
indoor pastime enjoy seeing the old ball
going spinning through the net, with plenty
of scoring. but what interest is there when
one club assumes SUCH n commanding ad-
vantage that the verdict is a foregone con-
clusion with the completion Of the first
half? Little whatever.
What nine out of ten fans relish is a
contest where the figures are close through
out and the lead is switching continually.
of course, the majority of spectators are
there to root for the home warriors. and
what n fuss is made when the bell sounds
and their favorites just n point or two
ahead These close matches make regulars
of the occasional attendants.

T|NOC0 ENVOY DIRECTED
TO RETURN TO COSTA RIGA
De Facto Government, Departing Of
Obtaining q. S. Recognition.
Calls Him Home.

Departing of gaining recognition
from the United States. the de facto
f1noco government of Costa RIGA has
directed Its envoy. Fernandez Guardia
to return to San Jose.
Guardia has been here since last April
knocking vainly at the door Of the State
Department and presenting arguments
which have met with no response, in
an EFFORT to establish the legality Of his
government His briefs set out the
conditions under which President tt
noco came into office last February as
result OF a revolution against his pre-
decessor, who retired to the shelter of
the American legation and thence to an
American warship without any show
Of resistance.
Refuses to Encourage Revolution.
The State Department has refused to
recognize the de facto government in
pursuance of IL is general policy OF dis
eouraging revolutions based upon vfo-
lence and not upon the deliberately ex-
pressed will of a majority of the people
OF the country affected.
To meet this objection the Costa
Rican representative has pointed out
that to regularize his government IT.
noco has had a constitutional conven-
ton and free election at which he re-
cetved 70 per cent of the vote of the
people and has proclaimed a constitu-
ton framed upon the advice of six of
the ex-presidents of Costa Rica. :
Wipes Out German influence.
Attention also has been directed to
the Presidents action in wiping out
German influence in Costa Rica clos
ing up German wireless plants and
opening Costa Rican ports TO American
warships.

now in the hands of a charge, who
