B. Y.P. u. Giants Pluck
Claws of C.-E. Tigers

Although the weather apparently
dampened the ardOr of the large
crowd expected at the first basket
bali game between the B. Y. P. U.
Giants and the C.-E. Tigers last Fri
day night at the Y. NJ. c. A., the two
teams were out in full force and the
few spectators who were hardy
enough to brave the elements, wit
messed a game that was well worth
swimming to see.
The two teams apparently were
evenly matched and when Referee
Marx blew the whistle at the end OF
the first half, the score showed the
Tigers to be leading by a margin OF
one point. After the short rest be-
tween halves, the two teams were at
it again in earnest and up until the
last five minutes of play the balance
was shifting, with first one side hold
ing the lead and then the other. The
Giants apparently had more endur-
ance than the Tigers and when the
score stood Is to Is, with only five
minutes to play, the Baptist boys put
on a final squirt and shot five straight
field goals and one foul, winning the
battle by a final score of 26 to 10:
The next game of the series OF
five to- be played between these two
team will be held at the Y. M. Q. A.
next Saturday night christmas Eve)
at 1870 o'clock.

Fight
Is With Committee

Another step in the plans to stage
a heavyweight boxing show in Boga-
lusa was made Monday when Major
~. H. Friend was appointed chairman
of committee WhicnlE1l investigate
the merits of various fienters and
make a report to the Elks as to
whether or not the fight would draw
crowd.
Tommy Roper, brother of the IA
nous Captain Bob Roper, was in BO-
aglusa Saturday and told Major
Friend that he was open for a match
with either Russell Maneri or some
other equally we'll known boxer who
would be able to draw a capacity
house.
Roper is the veteran of four pro
fessional battles, and from the looks
of his face was at the receiving end
of a great many wajiops before he
entered the pro ranks. His home is
in Columbia, Miss, which IS also the
home of Captain Bob, and it is be-
lieved that match in which he fea-
tured would draw great many fans
from the little Mississippi city.
Monday afternoon Major Friend
accompanied j. III. Cassidy to New
Orleans where they witnessed the
Harry Foley-Young Bob Fitzsimmons
battle.
Mr.. Cassidy is the father Of the
plan to stage a heavyweight contest
for the benefit Of the Elks at the
Colored ball park and he viii help to
select the pugilist to oppose Roper.
In case satisfactory arrangements
can be made, the colored ball park
will be equipped with n standard ring
and ringside seats placed around it.
The grandstand of the park will ac-
commodate two thousand people and
the show will be staged at popular
prices.

One-fifth of Germany's nitrate pro
duction vas wiped out in the explO-
sion that wrecked the Oppau works
of the Badische Anilin and Soda Fa-
brik on the Rhine in Germany.
This plant, which was the German
mainStay for nitrate production dur
ing the war, was capable of producing
100000 tons of nitrogen a year, ac-
eording to information obtained from
governmental sources here.
The yearly nitrogen output of all
the by-product coke oven plants of
this country would just about equal
the production of the destroyed plant,
while the Oppau output was two and
a half times as great as that planned
for our war-built Muscle Shoals nj
trate plant which Ford is negotiat-
ing for. The wrecked German plant
could have supplied one-third of all
the nitrogen that we are using yearly
for fertilizer, chemical, and all other
purposes.

Started Before the War.

From ammonia can be obtained the
nitric acid and ammonia nitrate for
explosives or the ammonium nitrate,
ammonium chloride and mixed salts
that are used to keep farms fertile
and assure food suEply.
Germany began building the Oppau
works in 1912, two years before the
war, after preliminary experiments at
Ludwigshafen near by. At the be-
ginning of the war, the plant was able
10 produce only one-tenth of It's post
war output.
Due to the wartime expansion of
her nitrate plants. Germany became
independent of Chile s%altpeter, her
former source of nitrogen and Amer
ica's principal source during the war
and today. Even with the loss of OPP
pau, Germany will be able to supply
all her own neecs for nitrate and will
have a surplus to export.
During the past month a plant at
Syracuse, N. Y, which uses a modi-
fcation of the Haber process used at
Oppau, has been placed in operation
by the Atmospheric Nitrogen corpor-
alton, an American concern. The ca
pacity of this plant, however. is just
about one-thirtieth of that at Oppau.
