Island high school players defeat
ed the Cordova high school regu-
lars, 60 to 5. at Cordova, last eve
ming. The Rock Island basketeers
had the game their own way at all
times and the home team never had
the least chance.
The teamwork and accurate bas-
ket shooting of the Islanders COM
pletely dazzled the Cordova aggre-
cation, who hardly ever came into
possession of the ball. The Cor
dova team was tall and lanky,
while the Islanders were small and
built for speed, and they displayed
plenty of it.
Wilson of Rock Island staged a
field day at the expense of the
home team, looping nine field goals
during the encounter. Hel!ings-
worth and Writ, Rock Island, also
had an interesting evening, COM
plotting seven and five field goals.
respectively.
Although they were able to make
goals from almost every point on
the small floor, Rock Island spe-
cialized in working the ball down
under the basket. The speed of
the Islanders compared against the
slowness of the home team, made
this form of attack a successful
one.
johnson of Cordova was able to
drop in two field goals. Cooper get
ting the only other basket from the
field.
Moline high school opened its
cage season by defeating the Wy
oming high school aggregation, 25
to 10, at Wyoming last evening.
Captain Toline led in the scoring
for the visitors, making five field
goals and six free throws for total
of 16 points. Simpson was also in
good basket form. Schmidt, at
standing guard for Moline. was a
tower Of strength in the defense
and most of the Wyoming goals
were from long distances.

BY FAIR PLAY.

New York, N. Y, Dec. 23.-About
the only real sportsmanlike thing
for bantam champion Joe Lynch TO
do today is give Midget Smith an
other whack at the title within a
week or two.
Smith deserves it after his show
ing against Lynch Friday night,
when he was plainly still weakened
from that battle with Johnny Cur
tain over in Jersey Monday night.
AS it was, Lynch retained his crown
by the narrowest of margins and
after thoroughly satisfactory bat
tie from the viewpoint OF the scat
tering of fans who saw it. Incl
dentally, the crowd at the Garden
was the smallest that ever wit
messed championship fight there.
Despite great disapproval by the
fans of the decision Lynch had a
slight edge in 10 of the Is rounds
very slight edge, but nevertheless
a margin. 1t was a case of every
one pulling for the underdog, rep
resented by the Midget, whose body

Joe Lynch Holds Title
By Out Pointing Smith
In Rather Tame Affair

New York. Dec. 23.-Joe Lynch
Of New York retained his worlds
bantamweight championship last
night as a result of a victory over
Midget Smith, challenger, in a Is
round contest at Madison Square
garden. Lacking the thrills of most
championship encounters, the bout
was largely a triumph for superior
boxing ability over rugged agrees
siveness.
Lynch clearly outpointed his
rival. but displayed no decisive
punching prowess, with the excep-
ton of one or two of the closing
rounds. Smith, an easy mark for
Lynch's rangy left, tried gamely.
but Intellectually, to penetrate the
champions defense
The bout was the third that Smith
and Lynch had fought in the last
two years, Lynch gaining decis-
ion in one of the previous contests
while the other ended in a draw.
The champion conceded over a
pound in defending his crown. en-
tering the ring at l16A. while
Smith weighed lis pounds.

Foot Ont of ROunds.

Can a player continue to dribble
the ball if the ball remains in
bounds while one of his feet goes
over the boundary line?
No: the moment he steps over
the line the ball is out of bounds
and goes to the opposing side at
that point.

New Ball.

II it is agreed that the game shall
be started with a new ball, has
either team the right to practice
with the ball that is to be used in
the game?
When new ball is being used to
start the game neither team has
the right to use it in practice. All
the practice work must be done
with an old ball, unless one or
both teams have new practice
balls. If such is the case. there is
nothing to prevent them from using
any kind of a ball in practice.
However. the new ball used to
start the game must not be han
died by either team.

BASKET
BALL
QUIZ
M
Referee
DisquAify.

Dbqualify.
How does the referee determine
whether or not player should be
disqualified for committing foul?
A disQualifying foul is simply up
to the judgment of the referee.
What one Official might so rule,
would not be viewed in that light
BY another. A disQualifying foul
Is unnecessary roughness on the
part Of the player which in the
opinion of the referee. is entirely
uncalled for.

Guarding.

II a player who is closely guard
ed is holding the ball on the floor
and making no attempt to play it,
is it regarded as foul or held
ball?
The referee invariably regards it
as held ball and puts it in play
at that point by tossing the ball to
the player who had possession Of
the ball and the one who was
guarding him.

Irish Landlords Get Out.

Lord Cough. like many another Irish
landowner, IS leaving his home in the
old country Tough Cwta castle In
County Galway has lately been dis

The castle, which stands overlook

Nash himself at cost OF $4,000 and
was purchased by the Coughs after
the Irish famine Of 1917, when the Wis
count OF his day ruined himself In
the Wdeavor to feed his starving ten
antry. The present home Of the Gorts
in the Isle OF Wight, East Cowes cas-
tie, was built by Nash, who designed
it for his own occupation.

OBSERVE EQUALITY IN RINGS
Up.to-Date Custom Is for Bride to
Equip Man Of Her Choice With
Wedding Symbol.

Custom has decroed that when
man receives from the woman he
loves a promise that she will be his
wife, he should forthwith buy her a
ring 1t is an excellent custom, ac-
cordlng to the jeweler.
Most ancient and modern lovers
have observed 1t, but modern lovers
are going one better Instead Of one
ring. two are bought. and they are
not both for the lady. Jack and Jill
together wear the sign Of their en-
gagemert.
Equality Of sex in voting and in
tho eyes Of the law IS responsible for
this new idea. according to the Louis
vile CourlerJournal. For mark you,
two pockets bear the strain. No mod

her Jack 20 cater for his own finger

BULL MOOSE MOVES QUIETLY
Nature Aids Forest Monarch to EVadS
Observation-Disclosures Sometimes
Take Unfair Advantage.

Although taller than an ordinary
horse, weighing more than half a ton,
and adorned with widespreading ant
lers, the bull moose stalks with ghost
~ silence through the thickest forests,
where man can scarcely move without
being betrayed by the loud cracking
of dry twigs.
In summer the moose loves loW-lying,
swampy forests, interspread with shall
low lakes and sluggish streams. In
such places 1t often wades up TO Its
neck in a lake to feed on succulent
water plants, and when reaching to
the bottom becomes entirely sub
merged. These visits to the water are
sometimes by day, but usually by night,
especially during the season when the
calves are young and the borns of the
bulls are but partly grown.
Late Ia the autumn, with full-grOwn
antlers, the bulls wander through the
forests looking for their mates
at times uttering far-reachlng cries
! and calls of defiance to their ri
vals and occasionally clashinf
their horns against the saplings il
I the exuberance of masterful vigor
Other bulls at times accept thu
challenge, and hasten TO meet tn
rival for a battle royal. At this sea
son the call OF the COW moose als'
brings the nearest bulls quickly to he
side. Hunters take advantage Of this
and by initiating the call through
blrchbark trumpet bring the most az
gressive bulls down.

Residents of Gunnison county who
plan to be out Of their district on cleo
ton day, November z, and who wish

istration certificate from the county
clerk or the election board Of the dis
trict in which you are registered. Vo-
ters who will be outside Of the county

they will be given ballot which will
contain only the names Of the state
ticket. They must write the names
of their county candidates if they de-
sire to vote county ticket and be
sure to put cross mark after each
name written in. Better get sample

BLESSINC RETURNS

A young man named ]. H. Blessing,
who was asked to leave Gunnison some
weeks ago by the city marshal because
Of registering with young lady at q
local rooming house as man and wife,
and being found in the room Of the
girl, has returnd this week and is max
ing quite campaign to square him
self. At the time News-C Champion re-
ported some Of his misdeeds and re-
marked that he had been selling sub
scriptions TO magazines and papers
without authority. Blessing appears
to have secured confirmation Of his
appointment as agent for the Inter-
national Sales Co., Of Chicago, which
is jobber agent for a number Of mag
azlnes and asserts that the subscrip-
tions were not necessarily due for go
days. However, he has repaid the
money on one subscription that we
know Of. Another Of his indiscre-
tions was asserting that he was q
member Of the X. Of C. lodge at Salt
Lake, whereas that lodge reports they
never heard Of him. The girl accom-
panied him back from Montrose to
this city and elects to stay with Bless
ing, apparently putting up the money.
A curious case, as they deny being
married.
