Only. a, fair crowd Of local fans
turned out for the basketball game
last night on the normal floor be-
tween Warrington. high school and
Fatrmont high school, but those
who brayed the wintry blasts and
made the'long trip out to tho end
Of Locust apenne were treated to
one Of the snappiest games OF the
season, the visitors landing the
contest 1928 after 40 minutes of
strenuous effort. q
Frank Ices Fairmont tossars
were not in the best OF shape for
the game and all the so-ca!Ied
regulars were not IN the battle at
the start and when they DID get in
they were working at disadvan-
tage from two angles. In tho first
place, the visiting team has jump
ed into a very commanding lead
and besides the local heavyweights
rushed into the fight were not In
the best physical condition. How
lever, the lads put up a game strIg-
gle and never gave up hope OF
catching up with their suburban
rivals. =
But these abb statements are
not intended TO detract at all from
the ,spleud d exhibition Of basket
ball staged by Coach Blake's Man
nington outfit. His team played
real basketball all the way and
deserved their victory. Their
combination plays and team work
In general was superior to that Of
the Icemen, aud It was these fac
tors that turned the tide OF victory
to them.
Some splendid field baskets were
registered by tho winners, the
shooting Of the visitors for the
most part being very accurate, and
had aideadly effect upon tho hopes
and aspirations Of the local quin-
tet.
While the Tcemen we're not quito
SO good on their field shooting,
they would have registered several
more. baskets with any kind Of
luck. Several times the ball SEEM
cd certain to drop through the
basket, but after rambling around
the edge for a few seconds rolled
off muck to tho dlsmay OF the
lFairmont fans.
Mitchie was the chief point get
ter for the 1cemen, having four
field baskets and 12 out Of 1s
fouls. p. McCarnes was the star

REPUBLICANS LAUD
RECORD in OFFICE
In new TEXT BOOK
Deny Responsibility for
High Living Cost, and
Attack Wilson.

Republican campaign speakers
will devote themselves between now
and election to accepting the chal-
lenge of the Democrats that the al
ministration is responsible for high
living costs and for eXtraVagant
management of government.
They also are raising the issue
of foreign relations and they are re-
viving the attack on former Presi-
dent Wilson, particularly for his
change of policy with regard to the
entrance of the United States into
the world war.
According to the Republican Sena-
torial and Congressional campai sn
text book, just made public. the
tariff gives employment and pros
perity to millions Of men and women
receiving the highest compensa-
ton in the world.
In contrast with the policy OF
waste, extravaganza and graft OF
the Wilson administration, the Re
publicans point out that the first
regular session of the present Con-
gress appropriated s2.71O.00O,OOO less
for the years maintenance of gov
ernment than was appropriated by
the last Democratic Congress.
The cost of food has gone down
about 80 per cent, the Republicans
contend, since they came into
power. They claim credit for max
ing peace with Germany and Aus
tria. for "undoing the Versailles
wrong" and for Justice for veter-
ans"

Several amazing discoveries were
made today. The body of Mrs. Mills
was eXhumed for a second autopsy
and il was found that the woman
was fiendishly mutilated. Her throat
had been gashed across the from
with what doctors call a necklace
wound" and there were continued
Eashes around the back of the neck
indicating that the slayer had tried
to decapitate Mrs. Mills but had
been unable to solve the joint in
the spine. There were also some
scratches on the left arm.

Reconstructing the crime in i'm
