Babe Ruth Is a great ball player,
but he is not a great team asset
like Slsler. Ruth is versatile, but
Sisler Is more Of an all-round man.
Sisler and Ruth both pitch. play first
base and in the outheld. Sisler can
do them all better than Ruth.
Sisler never has been pinched for
speeding. He never had a crippled
hand in an important series and he
was never set down for an infraction

When the deal was made. Harry
Heilman. Detroit's champion hitter,
wired to a friend on the coast that
Kamm was forth more money and
that he had never seen a third base

Willard can't be any better than

beaten to a pulp by Dempsey and
the chances are he will no. be in
as good condition as he was then.
Carpenter and Lewis were more
Of a real match than Dempsey and
Willard would be. The English
fans believed that the Frenchman
had been severely hurt by Dempsey
and that he would be far from the
man he was when he fought the
champion. They believed that Lewis
would have a chance and he did
have a bigger chance than Willard
would have against Dempsey in an
other bout.

GETS
TWO GAMES
SATURDAY

Both the boys and girls basketball
teams took the count last Friday
night at Montrose, the boys losing By
a score Of S7-S5. and the girls getting
short end Of q l6-16 score. This Inst
reverses the figures for the twp
games Montrose lost to Gunnison
three weeks ago on our floor. At that
time the local boys won by two points
and the girls by !. large score.
The girls played first, and for prac-
tically all Of the first half the Gunni-
son girls did not make q point, while
Montrose rolled up 16. Then Gunni-
son snagged free throw and q field
goal, making the score at the end Of
the half 1873. In the second hall,
Gunnison put up sitter front and
interrupted the Montrose machine for
q time. But Nontrose added another
10 field goals while Gunnison was ad-
ding IL points, and ended the game
Is TO 15 in favor Of M0ntrosc. This
certainly denotes q much better shoot
ing eye for the Montrose forwards,
- they had difficulty in hitting the
wall when they played here last time.
The boys game showed Monvrose
the fayorite from the start. They led
Gunnison thruout, and altho Gunnison
tied the scores several times, they
were never able to take the lead.
Montrose led to the end Of the hall, |,
21-15, and in the second half, ran
away from the home team, soon rum
ming the score up TO 1925. With but
. few minutes TO play, Gunnison took
belated brace and shwed some real
stun, running up ten points and leay-

LIGHT { WATER PLANT MUST BE
EXTENDED THIS SUMMER, IS
OPINION OF TAXPAYERS

That further delay In extending and
improving the municipal light and
water plant was impossible, was clear
ly demonstrated Monday night at .
mass meeting held at the court house.
The meeting was well attended,
about fifty Of the principal taxpayers
being present. Mayor John A. Steele
acted as chairman and led of with q
concise statement Of the present state
of affairs at our plant He pointed
out that our plant has long been in
adequate, and that in case Of emer-
gency we woud undoubtedly be in abad
hole for lights and water. Inasmuch
as we have never had q serious break
down or strain at the plant, II has not
been apparent to the average consum-
er but what the plant was all right.
The present equipment consists Of
one obsolete type 100 volt lighting
unit and one good 200 h. p. standard
lighting and power unit, 2300 volt, 8
phase, GO cycle. This latter unit is the
new Corliss engine and generator in
stalled in 1918. 1t is a good, absolute
ly standard unit. but is insufficient
for the load required. In case Of a
night fire requiring any amount Of
water, lights would have to be shut
of during the progress Of the fire in
order to furnish enough power to
pump the water needed. The old
generator is not only obsolete and
badly worn, but is incapable Of being
connected up with the newer unit.
Another badly needed item in this
connection is extension of the water
mains to certain sections Of the town
that have OF recent years been built
up and have created an imperative de-
mand for water service.
The required improvement will con-
sist Of first, an added power and light
unit. The new unit should be $50
horsepower, direct connected, engine
and generator, whichS together with
the good unit already in place, would
give the plant total Of $50 horse
power.

cUMM|s0M LOSES TO
M0MTR0sE IN DEBATE

Montrose's star was certainly in the
ascendency last weekend, and local
astronomers should have given warn
ing. Not content with winning two
basketball games on their own floor,
Montrose sent their debating team to
Gunnison Saturday night and unex-
pectedly received the decision, which
eliminates Gunnison High School from
further participation in the Western
Slope debating league.
The Montrose team had as its men,
bers Kathleen Howell, Ralph Mcneil
and Jerome Paul, who upheld the af-
firmative Of the question, Resolved,
that Colorado should adopt law pro-
vidine for compulsory arbitration on
all cases Of dispute arising between
employer and employee in public
utilities" The Gunnison team was
composed of George Berg, George
Hetherington and Thomas Nourse.
Judges were Rev. Jones Of Pueblo,
Supt. Tanton Of Salida, and Prof.
Beahm Of Delta, who voted two to
one in favor Of Montrose.
By actual count it is said that Gun
nison presented about four arguments
to every one from Montrose, the ma
j0rity Of which remained unanswered
by the visitors, but this apparently did
not enter into the consideration Of at
least two Of the judges. However,
one shouldnt kick against the decision
Of the umpire.
Miss Grace Parker accompanied the
Aontrose team to Gunnison.
