AS. H. TEAMS WIN
DOUBLE HEADER
Bows and Girls Defeat
Opponents By Nearly
Same Scores

Americas high boys and girls teams
took both games of the double head
er basket ball game here Friday
night, the girls winning by a score
of 15 to 8 and the boys by 10 to 8.
The girls, who played the first
game with Marshallville high girls,
staged grand comeback in the sec
ond half, running up score of IL
points and holding their opponents
to 3 points, after the first half had
ended with Marshallville holding the
heavy end of to 2 score.
Marshallville took the lead early in
the game when Mildred Jones, Mar
shallville's forward, scored field
goal in the first few minutes of play.
This was soon followed by another
by the same forward. Amerlcus
then got field goal when Marie
Bell, Americas guard, shot a long
one from near the middle of the
floor. Two foul goals were scored
"A this half, one by each team. The
half ended with no other scoring.
The second half started with the
Americas five determined to even
things up. This began right away
with Marie Bell scoring another
god shot, followed soon by another
by Georgia Lumpkin. Marshallville
then got their only field score of this
half when Bernard Battle substituted
for Elender Bragg, rang the basket
for z points. A double foul fol-
lowed this, giving both teams anoth-
er point. Marie Bell then got in
three two-pointers and a foul run
ming the score up to Is to 8. Here
the game ended.
Stars Of Game.
Marie Bell, Georgia Lumpkin and
Julia Allison starred for the Ameri-
Gus five, the accuracy of Miss Bells
goal shooting counting for the ma.
jority of Americas score. Mildred
Jones and Florence Lester starred
for the visiting team, while Bernard
Battle deserves honorable mention.
The line-ups for the teams were:
Americus-Julia and Minerva Ali
son. forwards, Frances Sparks and
Elizabeth Sheffield, centers. Geor-
gia Lumpkin and Marie Bell, guards.
Observation-Disclosures Bragg and
Mildred Jones, forwards, Lucy Good
en- and Louise Doles, centers, Lucy
Mae Bragg and Florence Lester,
guards.
In the boys game the Americas
high lads took the game from the
Union high school of Leslie by a
score of 10 to 8. Americas got into
this game early, Perkins, guard, for
Americas, shooting field goal in
the first few minutes after some nret-
ty password on the part of Fet-
ner and Glover. This was followed
by two by Fetner, Americas guard,
and another by Perkins. Leslie
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1920-12-19

then rang up 2 pe ats. Ryals getting
a field shot. Fetner shot goal on
a foul and Glover rang up two more
foul goals making the score for
the half IL to 2. This was notable
for the fast work by both teams and
the passing of the Leslie players.
Their abilitv to get the ball from
player to player nearly cost Ameri-
Gus the game in the second half.
More Pretty Work.
This half opened with more pref
ty work. Leslie got the first score.
Ryals getting another two-pointer.
This was offset by Glover shooting
two field goals. The second half was
played in quarters and here the last
quarter was called. Americas open
ed the final quarter by fouling twice
and Ryals and Bradley, of Leslie,
shot goal both time. Americas
then allowed Leslie to get a field
goal, Bradley shooting beauty.
Glover got the last tally of the game
with a field goal, running the score
up to 10 to s. The game ended few
minutes later with Americas win
ming.
Good work was done for the Am
CIRCUS team by Glover, Fetner and
Perkins, Fetner covering the whole
floor in excellent style. Ryals and
Bradley played an excellent game
for the visitors. The visitors were
somewhat handicapped nv being un-
accustomed to playing on an indoor
court.
A series of games is being arrang-
ed between these two teams, as Les
lie is not far away and both teams
seemed evenly matched, though Am
ericus' team is not as large as a
whole, as the Leslie five.
Line-ups - Americas Fetner and
Hammond; guards, Glover, center,
Turpin and Perkins, forwards. Gam
mage was substituted for Turpin in
the second half and johnson for
Hammond. Leslie-Ryals, and Brad

they say scandals have been intimated but have
never materaIized; that the present policy of the

few days ago we published about four pages
of a delinquent tax list. In the list We find the
names of prominent people and thrifty people who
have failed to pay their taxes when due.
day spent upon the tax rolls show that nearly
everybody is offender in respect to low assessed
valuations. Before some friend" tells us about it
we will confess that find The journal has been
offender along with every body else in the matter
OF low valuations.
New Mexico ought to stop that practice She
will feel more self respect when she does quit it.
Her standing among the states will be hugely better
when she stops it.
No person change such practice. If
he does he will pay the penalty of excessive taxes
for both his valuation and his rate will be high.
But if everybody would make honest return, the
rate would be correspondingly lower to net the same
sum in tax money.
Lying to the assessor, even if he be a complais-
ant gentleman, is not conducive to a high moral
tone for either the liar the community.
The next legislature should take the necessary
steps to see that all are moved up automatically
until we get to an honest basis
Allowing taxes for state, county. road and school
district purposes to become delinquent is a fright
fully bad practice 1t takes money to run the state
1t is duty to pay promptly. Delinquency is not
a privilege of which is welcome to avail HIM
self it is default which the state has not found
way TO help.
Let us tone up a bit in our public sentiment upon
this point. 1t will help matters some if you will
read carefully the delinquent list. Just know that
