Fathers evening staged by New
port high school Friday at School

far ahead of anything previously
attempted, that the fathers and
friends present were entertained
every minute.
The first event was Il basketball
game between the sophomor :

tested. When the final whistle
blew the score stood 22-17 in favor
of the seniors.
Next REGINALD Cote performed
very crcditablv many acrobatic
feats which were enthusiastically
applauded.
A long and very stout rope was
brought on and the fathers Wee
invited to a tug of war with the

the boys.
All enjoyed the lunch served

CLASSIC SET
FOR TUESDAY
'TObey' of Old-time World
Champions Is Coming
With All Stars

The 1922 basket ball season
has been a bowling, roaring sue
ess in St. Johnsbury thus far tn 5
year. Some real court battles have
been staged at the Armory and
the fans have received their mon
cy's worth at every contest played
here by the American Legion-Com
pany d quintet. Some unusual
teams have cast down the gaunt-
let before the Burch disciples or
the local court. Such teams as Ber-
lin, Laconia, Claremont and the
Hanover Five have displayed their
wares here and then have rome
their way. They will be ranked and
duly recorded in the biz history
book as the good teams that have
played in the Scaletown.
But when "Tobey" Matthews,
idol extraordinary Of a word
championship st. Johnsbury team
that swept aside all comerS over
a decade ago, plankS down hls bro
gans in the scaletown, things be
gin to pcrk up. The wheels of go :
81 ip begin to speed u and soon the
entire town is buzzing with talk
of the prowesS Of the inimitablc
"Tobey."
That is why the basketball game
on Tuesday evening is more than
a game it is a classic. 1t will be Il
battle to attract fans from every
corner of Northeastern Vermont.
To cap the climax, the noted re-
feree, Joe Killourhy, has been en-
gagged to handle the classic. 1t is
expected that the hall will be pac',~
ed to overflowing. Plans arc being
made to accommodate over 1000
rabid fans.
"Tobey" Matthews All Stars of
Catskill are the most prominent
organization of the court came
making an appearance in Eastern
basketball circles this wear. I'm
disputed evidence of the strength
of tbs quintet is shown by the Wild
publicity given this organization
by the SPORTING pages throughout
the Country. The team is a collect
ion of the greatest stars that have
ever come out of the oldest and
most enthusiastic basketball town
in the state. The team is named
and built around Matthews, who
is put forward by the New York
Herald as the greatest individual
PLAYER the game has ever known
and who is acknowledged b. Ed

and through her towards another
film director, whose name was also
kept secret. Revenge with jeal-
ousy as the probably impelling
cause was confirmed in the minds
of some detective, they said, as
the motive for the killing.
While efforts were being made
to locate the actress and director
it was understood the latest angle
to the investigation would not
cause them to relax their search
for Edward Sands Taylor's for
mer butler. Their review of Tay-
lor's friendship and activities
brought the police into close know
ledge of his companionship with a
number of motion picture actress
es including Mabel Normand,
Mary Miles Minter and Claire
Windsor.

FANS PLANNING
BIG WELCOME
TO MATTHEWS
To Collect Quarters and
Dimes for Big "TObey"
Presentation

"Tobey" Matthews will be pive:l
the freedom of the village, when
he arrives here Tuesday with his
troup of basketball stars. He will
be given the keys of the place,
and will be welcomed on every
hand. Back in 1908-9 "Tobey''
was an Incompatible favorite with
the fans. The present Catshll
basket finger occupied high
throne among the sport-loving
fans of the Scaletown.
So now returning to his former
stamping ground after nearly a
decade and a half, "Tobey" will
find the old fans still on their toes
to greet him. A group of admirers,
headed by Carol Fox and Oscar
Beck, have started the ball rolling
by the suggestion of presenta-
lion to the famous "Tobey".
Every sport-loving fan in St.
Johnsbury is cordially invited TO
contribute toward a sum OF
money being raised to give "To-
bey" some kind of appropriate
gift. Contributions from 10 to 25
cents are being solicited by Messrs
Fox and Beck.
Dimes and quarters will also be
accepted by any representative of
the Caledonian-Record on the
street or at the newspaper office.
The idea is to ENCOURAGE not 80
much the giving of large sums
but rather the giving bv everybody
of small sums-the expression of
universal good will.
Sam Moore of Moore and job L
sons on the Avenue, and Browns
Cigar store on the top of the hill
stand ready to receive the contl'i-
buttons, all of which should be
turned in by 6 p. m. Monday.
Then at the biz classic Tu ,sday
evening, someone of the fans will
be selected to make speech OF
presentation, and to turn over TO
"Tobey" the expression of St.
Johnsbury's good will.
The "Tobey" Matthews crowd
will nrove an extraordinary attrac-
ton in st Johnsbury; hence it is
no more than fair that the price
Of admission should be lacked up
a little. Manager II. r. Caswell
has boosted the price of general
admission to SO cents. He had to
do this in order to pa "Tobev"
the unusually big guarantee de-
manded. 1t is felt that no one
will hesitate to dig down into his
jeans for the slightly increased
price of admission. A few reserv-
ed seats are still offered for sale
at Searles Drug store.
