WESTON SCHOOLS
WESTON DEFEATS PENDLEToN
Visiting Girls Are 0utclassed In a
Hard-F0ught Battle.

A hotIy contested game was
played on the floor Of the Weston
gym Friday evening between the
girls basket ball teams Of Weston
High and Pendleton High.
Due to the clever team work and
superior speed Of the locals, the
first half ended with the score IL
to s in favor OF, Weston. Miss
Dorothy Proebstel starred at for
ward and Miss Isabelle Fuson at
guard.
Weston sustained its great form
during the last half also. Two
minutes before the close of the
game the Pendleton girls, seeing
that they were beaten and unable
to control their wrath and chagrin,
refused to finish the game. In
obedience to the orders Of their
coach, Miss Bailey. they left the
floor with the score "a to l6 in
favor Of Weston.
Miss South Of PendIeton, who
refereed the game, met with much
evidence Of disapproval from the
audience at large; and even PEN
dleton fans admitted after the game
that hers was the most unfair ref
ereeing they had ever witnessed.
This defeat is no doubt a crush
ing blow to the Pendleton girls,
who had hoped to win the Eastern
Oregon championship for the year.
The locals say that they hold no
feeling Of rancor whatever toward
the Pcndleton team, but do wish
the latter had left their referee at
home.
The rival teams lined up as fol-
lows:
Weston r. and D. Proebstel,
forwards; II. Duncan and G. Beam

London.-The Poles of Middle Russia, allied with the Tartars, have captured the Bolsheviki headquart- CTS at Mohilev, together with the commander in chief and his entire staff, and are now marching on Sebastapol, which is the base of the entire Russian Black sea fleet. The 9th Russian regiment has been totally disarmed by the Rumanians at Gal aatz, while the Bolsheviki sympa- thizers have been forced to leave the Crimean peninsula, by the Tar tars. These events, together with the action of the Red Guard, who are now in power in Finland, would tend to indicate that the Bolsheviki power in Russia is losing out rap idly.

Washington.-A campaign of the government to enroll reserve army of 25O,OO shipyard workers started today. Officials of the department of labor state, however, that it is not the desire of the department to have the men rush to the shipyards immediately, for the reason that the yards are not ready to handle ad- ditional help. The workers are to be enrolled now and they will be called when needed.
