CENTRAL FIVE 0UTCLASSES CANON
and Wins SLOW GAME A TO q
Final Game Of Season Brings Out Real Basketball
Ability Of Wildcats Game Is
Unmterestmg
BY EDWARD FRIEDMAN

Canon City high school basket ball
team was outciassed last night at the
Central high school gymnasium and
lost to the Central Wildcats "A to II.
The game was unintcresting because
the teams were so unevcnly matched,
and proceeded slowly. Centrals Of
fepsive play was too much for Canon
City, while the Blue and White
Suardsmen kept the sphere in the
hands of their own forwards during
almost the entire game.
Captain "Shanty" Cochran featured
in the scoring department of the con-
test, being give the ball on many want
age plays. Cochran made the first
score of the game, starting n lead that
was maintained thruout the play.
Tho contest was the last scheduled
ono this season. for the southsidc
school. 1t is probable however, that
they will meet the fast Sugar City
high school quintet before going to the
Colorado State championship tourney
to be held in Boulder March 10, IL
and IL. under tho auspices of the
Colorado University.
The game brought out an exhibition
of some of the finest plays of basket
bail. The Wildcat adding machine
suuad especially did great work at
fancy basket shooting. While the
Cannon team played good and hard
game they were unable to cope with
cats play.
John Badovinac the Wildcats star
guard was sick and was unable to play
in the game the many Central fans
missed his presence as they are accus-
TONED to make a point of watching
Badovinac's good work on the creased
floor. AuSanbaugh played in Ba-
dovinacs place and he played an ex-
cepuonally good game. Cochran and
Ally were the stars of the Wildcat
team and they were aided by the good
support of Knobbs. Nannelli and
AuEanbaugh. Stecly as forward and
Pisg at guard were the stars of the
Tigers.
This is the eleventh game that Cen
trail has played this season winning
the local fans to sec Wildcat team in
action this season unless game Is
played with Sugar City.
In the course of the game there were
two injuries: Cochran spEiined his an
kle and the game was stopped for "A
few minutes and Stccly was accidental
~ knocked against the wall and hurt
although not very seriously os he con-
tinued to play the rest of the game.
An abundance of pep from the spec
tators exhibited itself thruout the
game and the gym fairly rocked with
the echoes OF the cheering. After the
big shirt tail parade. They formed a
line about a block long and marched
down town cheering for Central.
The curtain raiser to the main event
was a well matched Gamc between tho
Central second team and the St. Paul
team. st. Paul took the lead from
the start and was able to maintain

comparing the playing strength of tho
New York Nationals of that day and

this connection to notc bow the best
Judgment of Stahl and probably
Woods went wrong. He was purpose
ly held out of the game against tho
fast going Cleveland team, and pur-
posely put in against the Detroit club.
Every member of the team wanted
Wood to beat Walter Johnson's record
and Cleveland had been the hardest
nut to crack. They believed he could
win his game from Detroit. This was
September 20 Tho plan miscarried,
however. Wood had no control and
his opponent covinGton pitched a
mastcrly game, so all chance of gain
ing new American league record was
lost.
But peep into the records of base
ball from its incipiency is very inter
cstinE to all admirers of the great
American game. Great pitchers come
and go. But it seems still more re-
markablc when considering such rec
ords as Walter Johnson has made
against the strongest teams in either

for success when the great twirlcr Is
backed up by "A team strong in every

New York, Feb. a5.-Total sales of

Total sales of bonds, par value, s15,-
2T5, 900.
Conditions in tho stock market Fri
day denoted moderated improvement in
the sense that offering of represcn-
tative shares diminished visibly. This
was ncutralized however by removed
pressure against many OF the volatile
or speculative issues. The status OF
the steel industry entered largely into
the calculat tions of trades because OF
the meeting here OF the American Iron
and steel institute
Assurances that the session bore no
direct relation to prices of wage
schedules caused hurried covering of
short contracts.
News dealing with the general in
dustrial situation was more hopeful.
Detroit reported marked increase in
the working force of the automobile
companies and New England advices
toM of a further revival in the tex
tile and leather trades,
TRANSPORTATION conditions were un-
changed prospects indicating further
curtailmcnt of employment ON the
larger system.
The marine situation was threatened
with fresh complications as n result
of possible labor troubles at the cN-
piration of the existing agreement be-
tween shipowncrs and unions.
Stocks manifested every disposition
to improve in the last hour on call
moneys decline to 6 per cent. but the
list became unsettled just before the
close when heavy selling of Nanadium

carhuerator set in. Those issues suf-
ferod extreme declines OF 81. to 6a.
points before supporting orders in Ca

StromberG was without support how
ever. making a net loss of points.
Dealings in bonds were larger than
at any previous session of the week
but the increased activity was mainly
at tho expense OF values.
Liberty issues were irregular. though
mostly lower as well as local fractions
and the international group.

BIG BUSINESS

Every time one talks to man fav-
orable to the Non-Partisan League
and they are not few-the first
statement he makes is that the "Am-
erican Legion was showed into the
fight against the League by Big Bust
ness"
Just where this is apparent is diff
ficult to understand. The fellows
who make up the American Legion
are the boys who went to face Ger
man bullets to save the country from
"the Kaiser, the beast of Berlin" but
that seems to have been forgotten.
It has not been forgotten by those
fellows who spent weary months in
the trenches and the camps to rid the
world of this pest. The reason the
American Legion is opposed to Town
ley is because Of his actions during
the war. The Legion boys have no
use for slackers. draft evaders. or
disloyal subjects, and they know
Townley did all in his power, just as
did all other radicals, Debs, Berger
Kate O'Hare. to hinder the war pro-
gram and discredit their efforts That
is the sole and only reason they are
fighting Townley.
They say nothing against the men
who have taken membership in the
League, because they feel that Town
ley has fooled them with his smooth
solicitors.
Perhaps it would be good ides
to get out the American Flag. sinl
a stanza from The Star SpangleC
Banner. and get back to a patriotic
standpoint and see the Non-Partisai
League from the viewpoint of thu
American Legion.

Great Britain is entirely too solicit
tous for Germany. According to
British statesman Germany is asked
to pay too much indemnity They
argue that the first payment period
will find them in default, and then
the whole proposition will have to be
gone over and new schedule made.
This is a peculiar view to take. In
our private business dealings we US
ually get what is coming and are not
in the habit of shaving down fig
ure for fear we will not get it. The
allies spent lot of money to civil
ize Germany and that country should
be made to "dig deep" and "spend till
it hurts" just as the people of Amer
lea did to prosecute the war. If they
can't pay they can go into bankruptcy
just as any other nation which can
not pay it's just debts. All this fol-
derol on the part or Britain is dis
I
gushing in the extreme and sounds
like some of the "pitiful pleas" that
country Is making to secure more
time in the payment of their debt to
the United States. A mighty good
way to force disarmament of some Of
those countries would be to force
them to pay according to agreement
