Watchman at One of Two American

Long Beach, Cal, Dec. 21-Telling
how minute details of plot to destroy
the strontium nitrate plant of the
Western Chemical company were ar
ranged weeks in advance, William s.
Little, 25, employed by Alexis Switalla,
secretary of the company, as night
watchman, has admitted he was the
one who set fire to the establishment.
When asked who requested you TO
set fire to the plant?" he replied
Alexis Switalla."
There were only two strontium nj
trate plans in the United States, and
the one destroyed here was one OF
them. Germany controlled the entire
output of the valuable military pro-
duct before the war, it is said. Stron.

TULSA HIGHS CLOSE
SUCCESSFUL SEASON
Bakers Basketball Quintet,
After Start, Shows
Good Form.
IRv LLOYD STONEN


With the plans for basketball
game with the Pawnee high school for
tonight failing to materialize. the
local Hi team has practically closed
its season, and it is probable, with
the exception of the games In the
Kendall tournament, that the locals
will meet no other teams this year.
This past season is the second year
that the Tulsa school has been repre-
scnted in the basketball world and
they closed the season with a record
of 1850 per cent of their games won.
The high school team played three
games away from home and dropped
two OF them. The Muskogee and
Dewey teams each won one game
from the Tulsans, while all Of the
other teams were humbled by the
Baker machine. The Hi boys played
better ball on their home court and
never dropped single game played
here.
The locals entered the season in the
poorest of condition and labored un-
der the greatest handlcaps in prepar-
ing for the schedule. They started
the year with only few nights work
cut in the gym, the team as whole
having had little former experience
in the game.
The Tulsa Hi will enter its team in
the Kendall northwestern basketball
tourney. This will be the last act In
the 1917 drama staged by the local
high school cagers
