FREQ" Dayis was delayed in reach
ing The gymnasium yesterday owing
TO the fact that the train from Pits
htlrghtwas lateS and Sandy Toothman
WIS forced to referee the first half of
! tho Bliiinsl Victory high game. He
handled the game in an entirely sat
iisfactory manner Davis arrived aboul
1920 and conducted the games from
then on. He is one OF the best Off
Gals in the country and there were
no kicks registered against his de-
ciSlons. !. !
One CT the surprises, OF. tho carly
games 10 the writer was the fact thai
Lumberport had such sa exception
ally easy time with the Kingwood
fite. After the showing that King
wood made recently against the fast
bunch from Bristol high, claimed by,
many TO be the best scholastic team
in the stAte,. It was thought that the
lads from Kingwood would be able to
lard the battle with Lumberport, but
they failed miserably being defeated
by the overwhelming score of 3S-13.
The team looked very bad. LUMBER
port is fast and plays fairly good ball
but it Is not likely that they will
reach the semi finals unless some of
the big four show very poor branu
of basketball.
A wet place on the floor ct the
west end of the gymnasium caused
several of the players to take bad
turlbles yesterday afternoon and I'll
was lucky that no serious accidents
took GsDlaeo. Sandy Tooth m a nj
and his helpers did all in their
power to remedy the situation, work
!ng hard with mops to get the mess
cleaned up, At one time President
Roster OF the Normal school tools
mop aud joined the army of clean,
crowd for his effort.
The attendance at the opening
games yesterday afternoon was bet
ter than had been expected, and IL the
crowds yesterday afternoon and last
night are to be taken as a sample Of
the public interest in the games, one
will have to get even standing room.
Several persons were heard to re-
mark that they were going to be on
hand by six O'Clock tonight in order
to get a good view Of the final games,

HILL SHINES !
WIEN LOCALS
LAND BATTLE
Big Boy Makes Is Field
Baskets and Should Have
Made More

Fatrmont High school came back TO
life with vengeance in their first
game OF the tournament yesterday,
taking the first contest of the evening
session from Terra Alta by the one
sided score Of 4S-13. It should be
stated without detracting from Fair
mont's record but in Justification OF
Terra Alta that two Of their regular
men, Cobun and EVERY, are. out OF the
game on account OF injuries. Coach
A. o. Watson stated to the writer that
these two men were unfit for action
on account OF recent attack OF the
dreaded -flu."
Hungry. Hill. otherwise known
within the family circle as Pierre
Hill, made no less than fifteen field
baskets during the frolic and missed
about an equal number Of rather easy
shots under the basket in the second
half. Had Hill made all he missed to-
gether with the is he did get It, there
would be no chance OF heading him
of from the field basket champion
ship, there, being little chance to do this
as the situation now stands. In this
game Coach Kahn made a move that
has been expected more OF less. Small
starting the game at guard. The
work Of young Small, in tho last few
games has been such that he deserved
chance to get into the game at the
getaway, having shown much ability
when sent into other games to take
the place Of some other player.
While Terra Alta was not severe
test for the locals, yet the snap and

admirers Of the team great satisfac.

In the last twenty years, but two
pitchers IN the big leagues have been
able to strike out 800 batsmen, both OF
them being hurlers in the American
