YORK TOSSERS
EASY VICTIMS
Independents Trim Codorus
Cage Stars by Big
Margin

The Harrisburg Independents had
little trouble in defeating the York
Professionals at the Chestnut street
auditorium in the holiday game last
evening by a score of SO to 81. The
game was one-sided, the locals hold
ing the lead during the greater part
of the game.
York was unable to break up the
locals passing and shooting and as
the result many good plays were reg
istered. From the first whistle until
the last the York team did not look
like q winner. The Independents
displayed more ability at passing and
shooting than at any other time this
season.
McCord Big Star
like" McCord played the best
game for the locals, making several
long and hair-raising shots from the
field. The entire local team did
creditable playing and the showing
last night was improved over that in
previous games. The lineup and

For one hundred and forty-two years,

states OF OURS have governed a happy
people and prospered. The dupont Pow
der Company has been making powder
one hundred and twelve years, leaving
the business In such shape that each
succeeding generation could meet the
needs OF our country Their success
has been malisncd, their organization
distintegrated, by our own government,
and the very success that business sa-
gacity and foresight had achieved ex-
cited envy that threatened TO destroy
their existence. In spite OF this they
have furnished the world with powder,
that kills; expanded their works under
the stress OF war and have the goods
on hand to supply President Wilson's
army whose duty is to make the world
