TWO GIRL HIkERS
 REACH LOS ANGELES.

Miss Marion Cook and Miss Della Schisler who were guests of Mrs. Geo. Barnes in Williams for a. week early in November, have arrived in Los Angeles and are in the care of the wv C. A. of that place. These glrls arrived in Williams alone after having hiked from New York. Most of the distance was cover ed by automobile, however, as the girls caught many rides. Arriving in Williams they were stranded and were taken in by Mrs. Barnes. They told Of having been parted from their mother and two brothers near Garden City, Kans., where the mother and two brothers took one automobile and the two girls another. They expected to meet again along the route but failed to do so. The county Supervisors assisted them from Williams to Needles and from there they caught a ride by auto to Los Angeles. They have not yet found the lost mother and brothers. The following taken from the Los Angeles Examiner announces their arrival in Los Angeles.

WINSLOW BASKETBALL
 GIRLS PLAY DOUBLE HEADER WITH WILLIAMS

Last Friday night our high school girls and our seventh and eighth grade girls met op- posing teams from Winslow and gave one of the best evenings at basketball that Williams has ever witnessed.
 The game was called at eight o'clock with the high school girls on the floor. The score was neck and neck until the last, and by chance the Wins low girls landed an extra bas- ket which left the final, 23 for Winslow and 20 for Williams.
 The Williams team was made up of Florence Seaward, Olive Mitchell, Mona Conway, Anona Selmon, Ernestine and Eloise Sullivant.
 Our grade team showed fine activity and skill against the opposing team from Winslow with a good lead throughout the game winning at the final with a score of 10 to 4. The spectators were exceptionally well pleased with the showing these little teams made and left the hall feeling well paid for time and money spent.
 Our grade team was made up of the following:
 Catherine Miller and Doris Duffield, forwards; Martha Ty- Ter and Ruby Seaward, centers i; Mabel Williams and Katherine Mitchell, guards.
 Our next game here will be with the girls of Flagstaff High School on December 16.
