| One of the finest games of basketball
/ played ON local floors this season was
seen at the high school gym last night
when the local high school team defeat
fed Newberg by a score of SO to 20.
/ While the locals were at no time IN real
, danger and led from the start, there
were times in the first half when things
| Threatened to be interesting. The score
at the end of the first half was Is to s.
/ During the last half the Salem boys
maintained an easy lead. The Newberg
/ boys put up a much better exhibition
of basketball than did the Albany play
ers couple of weeks ago. Latham and
Gregg were high point men for Salem.
, In response to complaints of con-
siderable amount of petty thievery and
chicken stealing which has been going
on in North Salem foT the past several
weeks, the police officials rounded up
1 group of IL youths the first OF the
week who were suspected of having
/ been engaged in the mischief. The boys
I ranged from II to IL years of age and
each confessed 10 completely in petty
crimes. They had broken into two or
/ three unoeeupied residences and pilfered
{ the contents, besides stealing a large
number of chickens from North Salem
roosts and selling them to local dealers.
I In fact the gang is said to have had
I fair poultry business worked up when
{ the police net fell upon them. They ap-
Ipeared at police headquarters yesterday
T and were turned over to County Juve-
nile Officer Bushey, who gave them a
/ lecture for petty mischief and the next
! time they come up they will doubtless
be committed to the reform school.
