CONVICTION RAMBLERs WIN

The Covington Ramblers added two
more games to their long string Of
victories Friday night by defeating
the University Of Tennessee Doctors
and Ridgeley in the most interesting
games that have been seen on the
local court this year.
The first game-between the Sec
ond Ramblers and Ridgeley- although
hard-fought, was too one-sided to be
very interesting. The final score was
AZ to 18, with the locals resting on
the long end Of the score lever. Whit
ley was the individual star of the
game, scoring 20 points during the
time he was in the game. Miller
rlayed an excellent game at guard,
Numerous substitutions were made
during the last half and all made
creditable showings.
The second game-between the first
Ramblers and University Of Tennes-
see Doctors--wa corker from the
beginning. Interest was added to this
came by the appearance Of GEORGE
Carman, ex-Byars- Hall student, who
is now student at the University OF
Tennessee.
The fireworks Of this game began
when the doctors scored field goal
in the first two minutes Of play.
After the locals started their offens-
i've work, however, the visitors had
little chance for victory. The final
score was "a to %. Moore and Nc
Bride led the scoring for the locals,
Moore scoring eight field goals and
Mcbride six field goals and one foul.
Parker, Moore and J. Mcbride also
played a class Of basket ball that al
ways brings cheers from the assemb-
led crowd.
The Coyington Concert Band en-
tertained the teams and spectators
with a number Of excellent selections
before the games and between halves.

on South Main street was completely
destroyed by fire Wednesday morn
ing about 8 o'clock. The fire was

such Roadway that the firemen had
difficulty in fighting the flames.

lower floor and Miss Ola Moore and
her sister on the upper floor. The
fire is supposed to have started from

blown on the roofs Of Messrs. Hast
ings' Joyner's, Tipton's and Smiths
houses. The house occupied BY Mr..
Smith and owned by Miss Mabel

Cracksmen believed by postoffiee
officials to have been Memphis yeggs
Monday morning blew the postoffice
safe at Millington, Tenn, and es-
capped with approximately S400 in
stamps and coins and three registered
mail bags consigned to the Bank of
Millington, to which it is believed
there were negotiable bonds, says
the Memphis Commercial Appeal Of
January 10. Memphis police, mem
bers Of the sheriff's force and local
postoffice inspectors combined forces
Monday in an effort to apprehend the
yeggs, but last night no clew had
been found which would throw any
light on the robbery
1t is not believed that the amount
Of cash and stamps secured in the
robbery amounted to more than $500.
The exact contents Of the three regis
tered sacks could not re learned vest
terday, however. Officials Of the
Bank of Millington said that the in
stitution was not expecting any very
valuable registered mail with the ex-
ceotion Of a quantity Of government
bonds. which were non-negotiable. and
would be practically valueless to the
veggs
A clerk Of the postoffice discov-
cred the robbery at z o'clock yester-
day morning. 1t was some time later
before the sheriff's office IN Mem
phis was notified.
According to Ibis statement, the
door was blown clear off the safe
and papers were scattered around
over the floor, but there was abso-
lutely nothing left which would
identify the yeggs.
Yesterday afternoon batch Of
and blank money
order book were found under the
Hatchie bridge, on the Raleigh road,
about half wav between Millington
and Memphis. This leads officers 10
believe that the yeggs used an auto
mobile to make their escape.
Residents of Millington between
$3.50 and 4 o'clock yesterday morning
heard loud explosion, but it
seems that nobody made an investiga-
tion at the time.
