BASKET BALL GAMES

The Paris High School boys and
girls teams played a double-header
Friday night at Lexington with the
teams of the Lexington High School.
Lexington won both games, de-
featiEg the Paris boys by a score of
46 to IA. and the girls team by the
score of II to 10. Both games were
hctly contested. The Paris teams
lined up as follows:
Boys-Tucker and Dundon, Cor
wards; Wright, center; McClintock
and Clark, guards. Girls-Hall and
Rule, forwards; Baldwin, center;
Wallingford and Patton, guards.
The games were referred by Kim
brough and Barclay. Every player
on both Paris teams did good work
and fought every inch of the way.
Lexington papers comment on the
games as follows:
"The visitors were so hOpelessly
outclassed in every point. the game
became little mora than goal
shooting tournament for the Lexing'
ton bunch. Paris High has a good
fast and well-trained team, but it
was absolutely out of its class last
night.
"The Lexington High girls were
lucky TO get out on the big side OF a
II to 10 score when they tied into
the Paris girls in the curtain lifting
event. The Paris team, was about
the snappiest piece of machinery the
local five has tried to stop this sea-
son. The affair was a nip and tuck
contest in which neither team was
superior to the other and the scores
went one way and then another at
regular Intervals. Paris held the
lead at the end of the first halt
with the score to 81
The Paris Y. M. G. A. basket ball

having played the Paris K. OF C.
team in the early part of the season.
A real battle is expected, as both

nization. Paris has gained a strong
player in Dawes, who played a star
game against Cynthiana Athletic
Club team last week. The probable
lineup for Paris will be: Roberts
and Chipley, forwards; Dawes, CEN

THE TOBACCO MARKETS

The Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Co. sold yesterday 141,130 popnds
OF tobacco for $19,S44.9S, an aver
age of $14.06. The offerings were
medium, only a few crops of much
merit being on the market. The
best sale of the day was crop of
1880 pounds, belonging to Caywood
& Crouch, which brought an average
of s26.41.
Following the sales held at the
Bourbon Warehouse, Thursday, the
New Independent Tobacco Ware
house Co. sold total of 169,850
pounds of tobacco for $25,043.29,
an average of STATS. The best sale
of the day was crop of 5,875
pounds, belonging to Howard &
Barnhill. which brought an aver
age of $24.09.
Sales were resumed Friday at the
Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse, where
a total Of 226,550 pounds went un-
der the hammer for total of $780,
929.35, an average of 1855. The
quality Of the offering was very
poor. Many growers are again
hauling low grade tobacco to the
market with the result of much
lower averages. Tie best average in
this sale was on a crop of 2,790
pounds belonging to Hancock &
Case, which sold for an average of
$31.05.
Insurance companies which write
policies on farm crops have reduced
their liability on tobacco in Central
Kentucky to S1O0 an acre, accord
ing to announcement made at the
Burley tobacco belt. The lowering
of the valuation was made as a re-
suit of the prices brought for the
1920 crop. When .he insurance was
originally written, companies per-
mitted valuations as high as $500
and $500 an acre based on the price
for the 1919 crop.
Belief that the movement to cut
out the 1921 tobacco crop is a dead
issue, and that the Bur]ey Tobacco
Growers incorporated, the organiza-
ton formed with the avowed pur-
pose of fostering the cut-out move
ment, will never call meeting for
the election of a head following the
refusal of j. N. Kehoe to serve in
that capacity, was expressed by
Frank Mckee, of Versailles, who
was temporary chairman of the or
ganiZation while it was being form
ed. 1T is impossible to enforce a
cut-out program with the present
crop being sold," Mr.. Mckee said
adding that such an attempt would
be like the old precaution Of lock.
ing the stable doc, after the horse
is stolen. He said that pledge card;
had Eeen sent out through tie Bur
ley district and MANY growers haG
signed them, but that they were moi
| to be considered binding unless
seventy pei cent of the growers
would sign up and he indicated
that he did not believe that many
could be induced to sign with the
present crop being sold.
