LEGION UPSETS DOPE DEFEAT
ING THE G. G. @.
X. G. Practically Clinch Schonberg
Cup by Defeating High School.

Tuesday evening, Dec. 5th, the City
Basketball League games were at
tended by the largest crowd that
has been out this year, more than
$50 persons being there to root for
their teams. The cheering could be
heard many blocks away, and tho
rivalry was very intense between the
K. G. and G. H. S., the game ending
in a victory for the former. This
game was the deciding factor be-
tween the K. C. and High School as
to who would win the cup. The
game was very interesting at all
times, the X. G. finally wearing down
their lighter opponents, who were
unable to use their PASSWORD before
their much heavier opponents. The
High School made game attempt
and deserve great deal of credit
for the showing they made. Clark
and H. Frederick played best for the
K. c., while T. Frederick, Caison and
King did good work for High School.
In the first game of the evening
the Legion upset the dope by running
rough-shod over the Coyington Gym
nastic Club to the tune of 1910 in a
very fast and interesting game. The
game brought out many flashes of
good password and accurate goal
shooting, at times bringing the spec
tators to their feet in wild applause
for the excellent shots made by Lam
sing and Scaer for the Legion. Man
ager Menetre switched his team in
the second half In an effort to over
take the Legion but found, a stub
born resistance in his brother, who
held him safely at all times. Lam
sing played star ball for the Legion
and deserves much of the credit for
the victory over the G. G. This
places the Legion third in the race
and they say they are going to make
the going for the X. of G. and Hi
hot for the remaining games.

CONSTRUCTION OF SEWERS AND
WATERWORKS TO BEGIN
IN NEAR FUTURE

Perhaps before, but surely i'm
mediately after the holidays, work
will be started On the sewers and
waterworks of Covington. Alonzo
B. Hayden, of Pass Christian, Miss,
bid of $133,9S4.44, states that the
work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible. There may be slight
change In the situation Of the power
plant, owing to the fact that part Of
the site originally selected belongs to
the N. o. G. N, but the difference in
site is practically tmmaterial.
Some seventy-five thousand dollars
will be put in circulation during the
construction work and labor will as
far as possible be given to home peo-
pie. This should be somewhat of a
stimulant to trade.
Property-holders carrying 1nsur
ance will make quite a saving in
premiums and will no doubt be able
to secure better rentals after the
completion of the work when sum-
mer visitors begin to arrive and
modern equipment of residences will
certainly make houses easier to rent.
It is expected that the work will be
completed by. July. Work will be
commenced at the terminus of the
pipes, toward the river.
This is considered one of COving-
tons greatest achievements. 1t will
lessen the risk of infection of shall
low wells, which really should never
be used, will be a protection to stock
that drink at the streams and pools,
will make the land drier and do
away with stagnant cutters, will aid
in suppressing flies and mosquitoes,
and will generally make Covington
healthier and more comfortable.

Lack of interest, and disinclina-

part of the public prompted the Pa

sue statement this morning rec
ommending the closing of the gram
mar schools. This action followed
a meeting at the Chamber of Com

survey of the situation was taken
and report was made by the solici-
tor.
The committee majority report, in
no unmistakable terms, cleanses its
hands of the predicament and voices
the opinion that the grammar school
should and will close for the lack of
interest and support on the part of
the patrons.
1t is understood that no member
of the committee has accepted re-
sponsibility for the majority report,
the entire membership being opposed
to saying on whose authority the re-
port was made. Efforts to learn
what opinion, if any, the majority

the threads of the domestic affairs
of Professor and Mrs. John P. Tier

new developments since the start of
hte Tiernan-Poulin paternity case,
the next move of the principals to-

Despite the fact that Professor

She said she expected Tiernan at the

Whether the professor will carry

/ Lausanne, Nov. 2S-Russia and
Turkey, working together. were ex-
pcct6d to make a strong pair at Lau-
same and other delegates to the near
east conference are wondering what
effect the combination will have.
English and French circles show
a disposition to reject the demands

in all other questions on the con-
ference agendas. 1t is pointed out

Aged Premier Does Hard

Message
SPENDS HIS TIME ALONE
Agrees to No Promises to
Tone Down His
Remarks

Chicago, Nov. 2S-Fresh from a
| nights rest in the Potter Palmer
Mansion on Lake Shore Drive Where
the roar of lake Michigan must have
tinged his dreams with visions of
his cottage by the sea in France,
Georges Clemenceau was up before
the dawn today, working on his third
| big message to America
The aged war premier had con-
fided to members of his party that
his Chicago address sheduled for
-four o'clock this afternoon, in the
auditorium, was to be a message of
! peace"
1t was said that it would be a
wholly different address from those
he delivered in New York and Bos-
toin, which reused democratic and
! republican senators alike to attack
him, and drew a formal statement
from the British embassy at Wash
! ington.
But whether it would be more pa
cific, nobady but the tiger could say
and he wouldn't say.
To his advisers in New York and
to dozens of friends who have wired
him, urging that he tone down his re-
marks so that they would not offend,
Clemenceau replied that he did mott
come to America. to be "eXpedient"
and that he must be left to deliver
his message in his own way.
1t was noted as his car sped west |
yesterday, however, that he spent |
almost all of the day alone in his
compartment reading newspaper ed
itorials and apparently deep in |
thought. Whether he concluded that !
his advisers were right he did not
disclose.
He eafused again fhis morning to
comment on the hot debate that was
waged over him yesterday in the
senate, declaring that he felt sad
fully answered in Boston the charges
