CENTRAL GIRLS
LOSE CONTEST
Williamsport Co-Eds Take
Second Victory in a Week;
Local Player Injured

Williamsport High school girls
won from Central co-eds Saturday
afternoon, score 26 to 81. 1t was a
splendid exhibition. A new Central
star loomed up. Florence Frank, who
substituted for Mildred Shupp, for
ward, proved to be the backbone to
the team Saturday.
The lineup was very much Grip
pied since the game last week with
Williamsport, when five of the girls
were injured. Miss Frank did not
play last week so went into the fight
this week with more pep than the
other girls displayed. The Williams
port bunch are too much in weight
and size for the local girls. Their
game was almost as rough as the
boys games
Miss Emanuel Injured
Anne Emanuel, Central's best
player, was hurt during the first
half but did not go out of the game
until the second half. A black eye
and twisted ankle are two of the in
juries she sustained at the hands of
the visitors. Emily Sites substituted
for her. Captain Maurer did good
work, but Florence Frank was most
decidedly the star of the game. She
Gagged five baskets and did excellent
floor work all through the game.
The score was 1921 with the Will
Transport girls leading all the time.
CentraPs fair ones put up a fast
game during the second half but the
visitors were too much for them.

BROTHERHOOD
LAUDS CARTER
Members of Railroad Body
Are Proud of Their
Leader

Members of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
are watching with interest the re-
suits of the efforts of their leader,
w. S. Carter. He is the director of
the labor with headquarters at
Washington. He has not resigned as
president of the order but merely
taken leave of absence.
This brotherhood has $500 men,
pers in the service of Uncle Sam.
These loyal railroaders have no
worry. Their families are being
cared for by the brotherhood. The
latter is also paying all dues for
members in the war. The official
magazine of this organization says:
Great Responsibilities
1.-The position Brother Carter is
now filling with the government,
particularly under existing condi-
tions. is fraught with great respon-
sibilities, the successful discharge of
which demands high-class capability
as well as extensive experience and
good judgment, and these qualifica-
tions President Carter possesses to
a very high degree. AS an officer
of our Brotherhood his upbuilding
achievements stand as a monument
to his efficiency as a wise and con-
structive leader.
In his present capacity as director
of the Division of Labor on the staff
of the Director General of Railroads
Brother Carter will not be in any
sense a representative of our broth
erhood or of organized labor at all
for of, such identity he completely
divested himself for the period OF
the incumbency of his present po-
sition when he accepted a leave OF
absence from his duties as president
of our Brotherhood. But we know
he will be fair-fair with the men
and fair with their employers-and
we know that insofar as his admin
istration of the affairs of his office
as director of the Division of Labor
is concerned both sides will get q
square deal, and that is all labor
asks or expects.
For a Square Deal
There are many who could have
been appointed to that position who
would not have given the railroad
workers square deal and in oul
opinion the selection of President
Carter for this Important post con.
stitutes indisputable evidence of Di.

If The Dispatch could make it plain

that is no mere than plain loyalty and

as shping public thought is concerned

simple patriotic spirit that should fol

There was never in our history
greater need for our Centelrng every

grim business. This country is at
war and is actually in its throcs of
It's greatest struggle. We must win
our fight There is no turning back,
or 10 the right or the left. The stroke
must be forward stroke.
What an awful thing it is for one of
ours, a man of our own community,
to give himself to complaints against
the performance Of his duties in con
nection with the prosecution of the
war; What a lack Of true loyalty is
in the complaint that one citizen of
ten makes in the presence Of another.
