Near Riot in WOOdsville
Newport Game
Continued from Page one)

| NSOItlHucl liOfl Ilpc Onc)
A near riot was caused during the
latter part of the final period when
Smith of the Woodsville team slapped
Referee Albert Lafond's face aftel
Lafond had called a foul on him.
This is the very first time that such
an act has been committed. The blow
was a signal for trouble.
Billy Mossa, one of the gamest men
Newport ever produced, sailed into
Smith pell nell and before his team
mates could get him loose Mossa had
given Smith a severe beating. He
struck blows right and left and Smith
crumpled in a heap oil the floor with
out once attempting to fight back
Mossa was yanked away by other
members of the team before he could
do further damage to the defeated
Woodsville man. 1t looked for a
moment as though both teams were
planning to "Inix it up" but the
crowd commenced to surge onto the
floor with Il view to doing harm with
the visitors.
Realizing that serious trouble was
brewing the players turned and devot
ed their efforts to driving the crowd
back to their seats. In the meantime
the referee had thrown the ball into
the air and Bigelow took advantage
Of the situation by putting the ball
through the basket with a perfect
shot Just as the ball was passing
swiftly through the air Lafond called
time but as the ball had left Bigelow's
hand before the whistle was blown,
technically he scored basket The
game is being contested over this
final basket of the game.
Last nights game was one of the
fastest and toughest exhibitions of
basket ball ever seen in this city. In
size the teams were pretty well
matched and it was give and take"
all of the way. On several occasions
players hit the floor with resounding
thumps but no one was hurt seriously.
The only men injured We're Basil
Hadlock of the Company team, who
received deep cash on his knee, and
Kirk of the Woodsville outfit who wa
accidentally kicked by Bigelow. Had
locks wound was dressed during the
rest period, while it was necessary to
call time for several minutes while
Kirk recovered firm his injury. Both
men, however, went back into the
game and played throughout the con-
test.
The game opened with a whiz and
q bang and gave early evidence Of
being fast and thrilling contest
Hadlock started the scoring for the
Company team after few seconds
MAY. Bigelow followed him almost
Immediately with a perfect shot. Bill

Mossa carried the ball from one end
OF the hall to the other and passed it
to his brother, Henry, who in turn re-
layed the ball to Bigelow The latter
lost no time in shooting it through
the basket The star shot of the
Company team followed this up with
another basket. Then WoodSville Sc
cured three baskets in row. From
then on Company 81" scored at will
and at the end of the period the score
stood 20 to 6 in favor Of the local
team.
The Company boys went into the
second period a bit ovar-contident and
as Il result the Woodsvillc team lost
no time in catching up with them. Bill
Mossa opened the scoring in the
second session and was followed
closely by Bigclow The visitors then
took a squirt and slowly but steadily
crept upon the local boys and passed
them when the second period ended,
with the score 80 to 20 in favor of
Woodsville
Bigelow got the first and last bas-
kets in the final period, which was
the most thrilling OF the three. In
the last part of the second and dur
ing the final period the defense of the
Company team broke down and all
but went to pieces. Several of the
players lost their heads and as re-
suit the visitors scored baskets with
little opposition.
Referee Lafond, who officiated in
place of Dr. Sam Hamilton, who was
unable to be present on account of i'll
ness, called nine fouls on Woodsville
ard two on Newport.
If there was an individual star on
the Company team, it was Billy Mos
sa. The powerful little midget was
everywhere at all times and his shoot
ing was accurate. He and "Shy"
Kennison make a perfect team and
this was never better demonstrated
than it was last night. Their passing
to one another was par excellent and
was responsible for many scores. Fl.
Mossa and Hadlock played fine
game. Both of these men are steady
and dependable. Hadlock's guarding
was a feature. He was on top of "his
man" every time Biselow was off
form last night and did not play as
good IL game as usual. He had con-
siderable hard luck throughout the
game, many of his shots missing the
basket by. fraction of an inch.

HARRISON ASKS FREEDOM
FOR PHILIPPINE LANDs
Governor General Believes Fill
pinos Able to Effect Po-
litical Government.

Renewed recommendations that politi-
cal independence be granted the Philip
pine Islands are made in the annual re-
port OF Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Harri-
son, VINO nnds that economic changes re-
suiting from the war and the activity of
the recent campaign in the United States
nave stimulated the sentiment for in
dependence
The first general elections in the
islands in July, 1919. demonstrated the
ability of the Filipinos to effect a politi-
cal government. the report said al
though Irregularities and defects in the
election laws were apparent 1t recon-
mends equal suffrage for the islands.
Total foreign trade of the Philippines
for the year was slightly less than far
1918, the report said, the balance of
trade shifting quite heavily against the
islands before the end of the year. AL
though sugar exports were lesoCfhan so
per cent of the previous year, the crop
brought nearly twice as much as in
1918.
Expenditures for the year exceeded
revenue by about s3.500,00O, leaving a
treasury surplus from former years of
about $14,000,000. Preliminary census
figures for the islands showed a popula-
tion Of about 10,350,000, of whom but
5000 were non-Christians.
Among the recommendations of the
governor general are: Revision of the
land and immigration laws development
of port and harbor facilities and a cam
paign to interest American business men
and capitalists in the commercial pos
sibilities of the islands.

K. OF C. OPPOSITION
TO BLUE LAWS SPREADS

The announced opposition on the
part Of the Knights of Columbus to
the movement aimed to bring about
rigid blue laws has met with re-
sponse from all parts of the country,
Supreme Secretary William J. McGin-
ley of New York announces in a state
ment today.
1--WE have had numerous offers on
the part of both men and women to
campaign against the radical unco-
guild under Knights OF Columbus aus
pices. Some have even offered to con-
tribute to a campaign fund to be used
in counteracting the blue-law advo-
Gates. The Knights of Columbus will
take no part in paid activity against
blue laws, as that course is no less
censurable than that of those who ac-
cept pay to agitate blue laws. 1t is a
matter of patriotic conscience.
Common sense forces US to pity the
man who will accept wages for his
attempts to force his own views of
Righteousness on the public. and
American common sense, when stimu-
lated as we Etimulate it through
Knights of Columbus open forums
throughout the country, will reject
any program calling for organized
and legalized unhappiness
