Of Course NJ. & NJ. Will

Fridays Marietta Register-Leader
contains the following facts re-
garding our M. & NJ basket ball
teams: "The Malta a-McConnelsville
high school basketball team will
again enter the tournament here
this year it was learned. The NAL
a-McConnelsville aggregation will
no doubt make some of the teams
step this year as evidenced from that
teams performance at the Ohio I'm
iversity tournament last week at
Athens where she played her way in
to the semi-fnals being eliminated
by Athens High, the tournament
winners
"Malta-McConnelsville has an en-
viable basketball record.To date she
has played nineteen contests and Of
this number lost only four Some of
her victories include wins over such
teams as Acquinas High of Column
bus and the Capitol University bask-
etball team and from the above rec
ords the prediction that this team
will make some of the better teams
entered in the tournament step is
no pipe dream"
M & Ms victory Friday night ov-
er Barnesville makes another to be
added to the list.

WAGON co. TAKES OVER
MENDEL TAILORS QUINTET

The widely advertised profession
al Mendel Tailors basketeers, Of
Columbus, which one of the Colum-
bus papers said were coming here
to show our boys how to play bas-
ketball, were defeated Wednesday
night by score of 26 to 20. These
Columbus players are rightly call
ed professionals, since they can
qualify as such. They had played
ten games this season before COM
ing here and won 8 of them. How
ever, they are not up to our Wagon
Co., and the longer the game pro-
ceeded Wednesday night the more
evident was the fact.
The Mendels drew first blood
with field, soon followed by an
other. F. Deedrick was first to
score for the locals with foul. In
the first half Wagon Co. seemed to
sort of shy at the visitors and the
latter maintained the lead by an
average of about 4 points through
out the first half, at the end of
which the score was 13 to 9 in favor
of the Mendels.
For about five minutes in the Sec
ond half both teams scored about
an even number of points, but it
was evident that the mule skinners
were tightening up, and coming in
to their regular form. F. Deedrick
broke the lead of their opponents
when he Gagged a beautiful long
~shot, soon followed by foul
throws both of which he made good.
The score was then % to 21 in
favor of the locals. During the
next Z minutes the score was tied
practically all the time. Then F.
Deedrick made good a foul throw
which put Wagon Co. 1 point in
the lead which they held up until
within about / ~ minutes of the
close of the game when H. Deed
rick trimmed field giving Wagon
Co. a 3 point lead. During the last
minute Of play neither team scored,
although the Mendels had a free
throw try.
One of the features deserving of
special note was the close guarding
of King.
This game added to Wagon Co.'S
long list of victories over a number
of famous teams puts them well
towards the top of the best players
of the state. The Lineup:
Wagon Co.-29 Mendels-26
HI. Deedrick .. Renhard

Soldiers Monument
A levy of 2-tenth of one mill is
ordered levied in the tax year 1922
on the taxable property of Morgan
county, to make a fund from which
the county is to help pay for mon
ument for the veterans of the Civil
war, Spanish war and World war.
The clerk was instructed to get
into communication with Paul Muir
ray, architect, instructing him to
make plans for an addition to the
Morgan county children's home
that will be in compliance with
previous order from the department
of Industrial Relations of Columbus
dated Jan. 16, 1922.
Correction
In our issue of Feb. 23<we stated
the cost to the county to build the
1-3 miles of roads this season as
approved by the state would total
$173,O00. This was the entire cost
of the roads. Since they are to be
built on a $3.50 proposition the
county's share would be one-half of
200 or $86.500.
