time he spent his time. begging and
hanging around cheap restaur-

He was probably headed for a
life OF crime, when one day, two

Cartwright for the price of a meal.
Cartwright appeared to be a we'll

SUNDAY SCHOOL
TEAMS BATTLE
IN LAST MATCH


At least two good games are
promised at the meeting OF the
various Sunday schools at tomor-
rows basketball contests, to be
held in the East Moline Y gym.
In both the Junior and intermedi-
Vte divisions games will be staged.
which will make the leaders in
each division battle hard to hold
their honors. In the junior divi-
sion st. Anne's team is matched
against the East Moline Baptists.
The st. Annes team holds the lead
ership of this division with. the
Baptists a close second. and If they
should lose this game 1t will tie
them with the East Moline Bap-
fists, and this will necessitate an
other game being played.
A situation somewhat similar is
produced in the intermediate divi-
sion. The Congregationalist team,
which has Lot lost a game so far
this season, is matched against the
Christian team. In the event that
the Christian team should win it
would reduce the Congregational
lists to a battle with the East Mo-
line Baptist team Of that division
for final leadership. The schedule
of the games follows:
Junior Division.
Silvis Methodist VS.. Congrega-
tionalist.
East Moline Baptist VS.. St. Annes
church.
East Moline Methodist VS.. Water
town Methodist
Watertown Baptist vs.. Silvis Bap-
fist.
Intermediate Division.
East Moline Methodist VS.. East
Moline Baptist.
Congregationalist VS.. Christian.
These games finish the league
games for the intermediate divi-
sion, but the junior division has
one more set Of games to play and
next Saturday will complete their
schedule.
