GAME IF
 ''A'' LEAGUE |S SCHEDULED FUR THIS AF FTERNOON

Phoenix highs basketball five will have its first official tryout at East lake park this afternoon against the Indian quintet. The game, scheduled this afternoon. is the first class A league contest for the valley cham pionship. The game will start prompt ly at 8 D. m.
 The Phoenix High School team will line up as follows: Captain Davis, left guard: Slagle, right guard; Middleton, center; Coggins right forward, and Basset, left forward. Slagle has been playing the forward position, but he is a fast man and dangerous as point scorer and he was shifted to right guard.
 Mir. Venne, leader of the Phoenix city band, has been appointed assistant coach to work with Coach Raitt. MT. Venne was athleti coach at the h. dian school for several years. and old timers we'll remember some of the fast teams turned out under his coaching. With Venne and Raitt speeding the high school boys along, and no post season football to interfere with the players, Coast Raitt feels that he can develop the fastest quintet in the state.
 The school rooters are taking as much interest in today's basketball clash as they did in the Thanksgiving day football game. and the Indians hope to beat the high school boys to make up for the holiday loss.

British Champ
 Stopped In Two
 By Frank Moran
TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wlre1

LONDON, Dec. 10.-Frank Moran of knocked out Joe Beckett, the English heavyweight pugilist, in the second round of their match in Albert hall here tonight.
 Tn the first round Moran led with his left. but was caught with a right to the jaw. Moran then swung his right and clinched. He was warned by the referee.
 Beckett got in some good work in the second round and again Moran closed in, trying short-arm jabs, which failed to land. Moran then got in a hard smash, but Beckett quickly re- taliated with powerful right to the jaw.
 Beckett was floored with a crashing uppercut during infighting and was counted out when he failed to arise. The end of the bout came amid eX- citement. The bout was for twenty rounds.
 Beckett's sudden collapse was most sensational, as up to few seconds before he was counted out he had landed many more blows than had the American, who, by comparison, seemed much slower. Moran was again warned for clinching in the second round.
 The knockout blow was Moran's first effort at real fighting. He put all his strength into the right uppercut. which landed on Beckett's chin and sent tho British champion to the boards, where he rolled over and over until counted out

double toe hold clamped by the pride of Phoenix. Mooremeir was game and held out as long as he could with the intense pain showing plainly in his face When Sauer released his hold Mooremeir rolled over and had to be carried to his corner
 When the grapplers can7e out for the second fall, after a fifteen minutes rest, it was evident that Mooremeir could not last long. Fred tried hard for 13 minutes and 30 seconds, giving in to a toe hold.
 PreIiminaries Good
 Young Arnold and Manuel Portillo shivered through three rounds in the curtain raiser, but the fourth round showed Arnold's speed and the kid wal loped Manuel for a good decision. Tip had his cap off last night and looked the fighters over to two good decisions. Adnold has a nice left that hea knows how to use and occasionally he shoots over his right. Manuel looked bad against Arnold in the last round and the decision was popular.
 Battling Sam and Young Romeo fought four good rounds that resulted in victory for Sam. Romeo and Sam didn't show any great love for each other in this fight; in fact, 1t looked like a lovers quarrel, with vengeance as the reason for the bout. Sam tow cred above Romeo and showered his luclless suitor with gloves, brickbats and bouquets. He dropped so many gloves on Romeo's head the Mexican youth was cuckoo in the third and fourth. In the early part of the third round Romeo reached up on the ve- randa and clocked a beauty to Sam s physiog, stopping the Battler's rushes. This wallop evidently peeved Sam and he came down to meet Romeo. The first uppercut jared Romeo off his feet and before he returned to terra firma Sam planted a glove on his head that keeled him. Sam tried to connect as Arnold was going down, but the Mex l ican fell too fast. The fourth round found Sam chasing Arnold from corner | to corner, with both lads tiring from | the race Arnold was holding on when sam came close and the dusky boy failed to connect with kayo. Sam

CLEANED UP THE PLACE

A bunch or gypsy horse-t traders passed through Madison (Ky.) a few days ago and sold Cape Allsop one of their best horses for $10 and in a few hours the horse died. Cape got the assistant constable and overlook the band of gypsies camping on the road side and arrested the fellow and re- turned him to Hogville for trial. The prisoner was taken before, Judge Allsop, distant relative of Gape's, who after hearing the evidence in the case, de- cided that Cape was greenhorn and had no recourse.

PETE SAUER WINS FROMMOORME|ER
 IN TWO STRAIGHT

fair sprinkling of fans braved the chill night air to attend the wrestling card at the American legion arena last night As promised, the management provided heaters, but the boys didn't wear asbestos overcoats to keep out the heat. Those fortunate enough to own an ovcrcoat or pick a seat near the heaters. enjoyed the bouts. but the luckless ones far from the source of heat were forced to shiver with the boxers. Can't quite be said that the heating Idea is success-perhaps the installation of more heaters will help warm the arena. If Temple and Keen are successful in their efforts to heat the arena without a roof or higher side walls they can corner wads of coin making summer resorts out of Mon- tana cities. Anyway the good old summer time will soon be here and they can figure on a cooling system 10 comfort the fans when they get ex- cited at a thrilling moment
 Pete Sauer proved that he has lost none of his ability as a mat artist by dropping Fred Mooremeir for two straight falls. The first fall ended in 5S minutes and the second in 13 min utes and 80 seconds.
 Mooremeir was the aggressor for the first 25 minutes, keeping Pete squirm- ing to protect his shoulders. Pete wiggled out of several tight places tiring Fred after O half hours struggle Mooremeir showed class while he lasted. but Pete was too much for the Kansas City demon and after breaking several toe holds he fell victim to a

As to Prices

Some of our friends ask us every
day about the outlook for lower prices.
We have had some lower prices in
some lines.
Silks by the yard, such as taffetas
and messalines that sold at $3.50 a
yard, are now s2.75 and $500, but this
has not affected the price of silk hose.
This is due to the amount of labor
on stockings.
Shoe factories gave us new prices
June first, which were little lower.
Childrens shoes are 10c to 35c
pair lower; ladies' shoes from 1Oc to
as high as s1.50 pair lower in the
high grade OF shoes, while mems
shoes are from 10c to 75c lower.
Labor being one of the largest items
in the cost of manufacture of an
goods, we cannot expect large reduc.
tion in prices until wages are lower.
All the information we can get on
staple cotton goods would indicate
that we cannot expect any reductions
for few months, and some of them
may be higher before that time.
We will be as glad as any of our
customers to see prices lower, and
you Will find these new prices on
shoes in effect on every pair in the
