q won't 60, Riak, Mrs. Devon had
cried when her husband had moda tho
statement that he intended to visit
Ithaca "You couldn't get me near

But the very fact that she now sat
on a small bench against the boat ratI

that Utah Devon had contrived 70
have his way -
Occasionally Mrs Dernn lifted nor
head to listen and turned her ewes TO
the west where narrow path Mg-
Jagged it's length up the hin ITO the
boulevard. Into her tortured soul
had come a belief since the night be-
fore, that Tonys "Gfornsr Cod"
would send her man home.
Suddenly the sound of heavy foot
steps In the forest patti brought her
sharply around. At last he was com
ing, this man she loved perhaps
drunk, perhaps to beat her; but ney.
ertheless he was coming, and that was
all she cared about.
Urlah Devon slowly walked up the
gangplank in silence.
"Where you been?" the woman
forced herself to say But instead OF
replying, he demanded:
where's Tonnibel?"
~ Dunno was the answer. "A min
ute ago she was over there not ten Of
your legs jumps from here.
Where you been all this week."
He'd been on a terrible spree. she
decided. He looked as if he had been
drunk for days. That he had some
thing unusual on his mind, She knew,
and she knew, too it was about Ton
nibel, for hadn't he asked for the kid
the moment he'd returned?
IT'S about time we was doing
things. Eide" he said, turning grimly.
1--WE waited rs long as dared. Rege
says Paul Pendlehaven hasn't an inch
leeway before he's in his coffin -"
Mrs. Devon's face grew deathly
pale.
'What do you mean, honey?" she
faltered.
I'VE live like rats in n boIe" fool,

know how kid" Schlaifer is getting
along He started to train about week
the private clubs here Saturday night
and fhe showed a lot of class on. course
being out of condition. his wind was not
very good, but he had little trouble der
feating the boy he boxed, Al Tuttle.
Now. in my experience Of 2s years of
Benny LeAnard--I feel as though with
proper handling. Schlaifer will no doubt
be on the top of the ladder some day
According to the information I have coli
lected about schlaifer. he has never been
handled properly and has always boxed
boys considerably heavier than himself.
Schlaifer, with proper handling and
training and few fights. will no doubt
be- able to make the lightweight limit
I hope to be able to have him box in

Prospects Of Title
Cue Match Tumble
Cochran's Defeat of Hore-
mans Lowers Belgian's
Chances With Hoppe.

Prospects OF championship 49,
balk-line billiard match between
Willie Hoppe, worlds title-holder,
and Edouard Horemans, Belgian
champ, took another tumble Satur-
day when Welker Cochran defeated
the foreigner in the Iinal block OF
their match Saturday night at Dc
troit.
The fact that, both AXE Schaefer
and Cochran have won over the Bel
gian champion only goes to prove
that Hoppe stands more than an even
chance of trimming Horemans The
champion balk-line cue wielder has
trounced both Schaefer and Cochran
by big scores.
According to Omahaus who have
seen the Belgian in action on thc
green table. Horemans is great masse
expert, but lacks the remarkable skill
as an open table player and shot
maker that characterizes Hoppe.
Reports concerning the Belgian's
with both Schaefer and
Cochran clearly brought out the fact
that he was not SHOEMAKER.
On the other hand, Hoppe is YET
i'll his prime and is cueist who l,asN

rOMMERCE> HIGH schools
basket ball team won the state
championship Saturday night in
the Coliseum at Lincoln and with
the ending OF the Bookkeepers' title
game with University Place is the
close of the eleventh annual inter
scholastic tournament, the world
series of basket ball in Nebraska
The huge growth of basket ball
as one Of the most popular of high
school sotrts was indicated by the
large entry list. The tourney was
the largest ever held BY the Nebras-
ka High School Athletic association
and one of the largest ever staged
for high schools in the country.
Competition, too. was much keencr.
which is largely responsible for the
great popularity OF the game. Not
SO many years ago there were but
two divisions of the state tourna7
ment. This year l3 classes with a
grand total OF 1000 athletes COM
pete in the tourney,
While the 1921 tournament was Ia
success from every angle and was
the largest ever staged in Cornmsk-
er land. too much credit cannot be
given to the small army Of referees,
tinlckeepers. scores and guides and
members OF the High School
Athletic association who assisted
in making the tournament a sue
cess. The students OF the Uni-
versity Of Nebraska acted in this
capacity and to them belongs the
credit.
May the 1922 tournament even be
larger than this years meet,
During the tournament last week
there was plenty Of discussion
among the coaches and officials re-
garding the basket ball rules. The
main point of conversation seemed
to hinge on the change in relation
TO the free trial Tor goal after fouls.
Those who are in favor OF the change
argue that the present rules give a
team with a skillful free goal shoot
er too much of an advantage. 1t
has been suggested that when
team makes foul the opposing team
be awarded half point or a point,
and that the free goal be eliminated.
There is much opposition 10
change. the claim being put forth
that it is to the advantage OF all bas-
ket ball quintets to see to it that
skillful free goal shooter is de-
veloped.

That, will be one OF the contentious
of the defense when the eight Chicago
White Sox players indicted on
charges of throwing the series and
accepting bribes brought to trial.
While the complete plans of the
defense will not be known until the
trial begins, attorneys. already have
announced that they will contend that
the indicted players never intention
ally made misplays and consequent
ly could not have taken part in a
conspiracy
Claudc Williams and Joe Jackson,
in their confessions to the grand jury
which investigated the series, main
tanned they had played their best,
confessing only TO receiving money
and to discussing the throwing Of
games. Cicotte confessed to hitting
Rath. the first man up in the first
game, purposely, but said he played
his best after that. The other play
ers denied either throwing games,
entering into the conspiracy or re-
cciying money.
To Submit Play by Play.
The defense will be prepared to
submit the play by play account of
the series, which shows that Chicago
won its three games largely through
the ieals of some of the indicted play
ers. In reply, the state plans to point
out that Cincinnati won its FIVE games
hard hitting OF two indicted
pitchers and below par playing OF
other indicted men.
The story OF the series shows that
in the first game. Cincinnati scored
in the first inning after Cicotte hit

Jury.

haps we were planning some violent protest against something. Perhaps our friends expected such protest from us-such violent ranting against some fancied wrong. And quite pos sibly we decided that. like the snow, although it was expected of us it might be just as we'll if we moderated our actions and allowed the peace of of the times, here in our community to continue. And perhaps we remem- bered the story of the lawyer. about to sum up his case before a judge. The latter smiled and remarked that it was quite unnecessary for the law yer to make his plea-the court was with him.
 But l have my argument all pre- pared-my client expects me to sum up the case" remarked the attorney.
 But it is quite unnecessary" said the judge; the court is with you"
 The attorney insisted on making his argument. which the smiling judge heard patiently to the end. Then, quite pleasantly, the judge said:
 It's all right, Mir Brown. In spite of your argument the court is still with you
 So to the snow that came so gently we may say: We know it is winter still-you need not come again to prove it."

(Robert Russell.)

If life could be all harmony with music in each breast. there'd be a lot O troubles we could dump from off our chest. All criticism would be just: suggestions would be wise; full credit would be given to the chap who always tries. There'd be no discords reused by spite: peace only would abound; our daily intercourse would be a symphony O sound. Now things can't be like that, O course we're human. that is why; but every woman. every man can learn the game o' Try" An music. as we speak of it, don't mean to sing or play, but it will help a lot to take up things that tend that way. Last night an old Society that's Choral met to sing: all through the Winter months twill work an then, when comes the Spring twill give it's pretty festival with St. Cecelia there to aid in waftin' gentle sounds O music through the air. The singers will be happier; all life would hold new zest if it could be all harmony with music in each breast.
