 Florence 28-18
fspeeiaI to The RepubIican)

FLORENCE, Dec. 1.-The Glendale high school boys basketball team dropped all chances for the class B championship when they were defeat ed here today by the Florence team, score 24-1S.
 Glendale had suffered but one de- feat and stood equal chances with Tempe high for the class E champion ship, but two defeats suffered this week end, one at Casa, Grande on Fri day night and the one administered here this afternoon, put them out of the running and raised the average of the Florence team which had been considered as a cellar position team.
 The score at the end of the first half stood 9-5 in favor of Glendale but in the second half the Florence forwards found themselves and toppled the score the other way.
 The Glendale girls team somewhat retrieved the defeat of the boys by de- feating the Florence girls team. 16-11. Glendale is conceded to have the strongest girls team in the class B section.
 Both games were fast and full of fight. The basket shooting of Rob ertson for Florence featured the boys game. MT. Lodge of Glendale refer eed both contests.

 Throat Injury
 While Singing
IRepubIIean A. p. Leased Wirel

NEW YORK, Dec 11-Enrico Caru- SO, tenor. bursted a blood vessel in his throat while singing at the Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight. The per formance was stopped.
 The accident, which, it is said, is not serious. occurred during the first act of Donizetti's "L'Elisir d'Amere," but the singer did not stop until the end of the act.
 A physician then told him it would be unwise to continue for if he did so the result might prove serious. In addition, the blood in his throat inter Tered with his vocalization.
 The manager in dismissing the audi ence said: MT. Caruso assures me he is willing and even anxious to finish, if you wish him to. It is for you to de- eide"
 No" came the answer.
 The hemorrhages were similar to those which resulted from a ruptured blood vessel while MT. Caruso was sing ing at the Metropolitan opera house last Wednesday night, it was said

IRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wireI

DUBLIN, Dec. IA plant for the of bombs was discovered during an early morning raid today on a bicycle repair shop in ParneH street, in the center of Dublin.

 Loaded revolvers were on the benches presumably for the use of the workers. It is estimated the factory could turn out hundreds of bombs monthly

I took her to dinner and then to a hotel where she registered. That was the last I saw of her. Two days later l received letter from Kan sas City containing the $1O had loaned her"

Major and Minor
 Name Delegates

(Continued from Page Onel of the National association also would be member in a similar if the minor league association elects to come in.
 MT. Toole explained that if & dispute be between two major league clubs, their representative shall act; if dis pute be between club of either major league and a minor league club, it shall be acted upon by the minor league representative, and the repre- sentative of the major league in volved. Decision reached, however, shall have approval of Judge Landis, he to make the decision should the representatives whose leagues are in volved fail to agree. Under this plan President Heydler would have no say in case in which the National league or any of its clubs is not concerned and likewise President Johnson would not be called upon to sit in 8 case unless the American league or one of it's clubs were involved.
 It was announced that the commit tees were of one mind regarding the principle of drafting players from leagues of lower classification by those of higher classification. The commit tee representing the minor leagues, however, declared 1t would not be able to bind all minor league clubs to a draft proposition unless a fair and satisfactory price were agreed upon.
 Raise Draft Minimum
 It is understood Class A leagues will hold out for a price of $7500 for players drafted from their clubs by the majors, but club owners of the Amer ican and National leagues have stated their opposition to such a purchase price because of the fact players who have proved stars in the Class A cir cults often failed to make good in the big leagues.
 President Fultz of the International league, discussing the draft issue, ex- pressed the opinion that such ar agreement would not be binding on the clubs of his league, even though il were approved by the minor league committee. Other baseball men, how ever. did not agree with his view, ant expressed the opinion that if a new | national agreement is signed by tho | National and American leagues ant the National association, all the or ganizations of the last named woul, be bound by its provisions and thos who failed to recognize the agreemen would become outlaw leagues.
 Minor leagues had no voice in tn selection of Judge Landis as para mount commissioner of baseball, bu 1 their committee insisted that the pro posed new agreement contain a pro vision giving them a voice in the SC lection of any successor to Judg Landis.
 The minor leagues made it plai that, while taking this stand, they wer pleased with the selection of Judg Landis and would have voted for hiI had they been given the opportunit to do so
 Judge Landis agreed with tn minors viewpoint.

German Press ScornS Nobel Peace Prize
 To President Wilson
rRepubIIean A. p. Leased Wire1

BERLIN, Dec. 11.-News that the Nobel peace prize has been awarded to President Wilson is received with scorn and ridicule by Berlin news papers.
 The liberal organ bitterly assails the president and the Nobel judges. The Clerical Germania says:
 President Wilson is the man who gave Germany the right to hope; then robbed the Germans of their peace. If hypocritical peace ambitions are to be crowned with the Nobel prize, then each succeeding recipient of the award must carry a share of his blame" The Tageblatui declares that President Wilson's work has been "to bequeath a heritage of militarism to the new world to which it was a stranger"
