"To say that the members of the
police department are appreciative of
the generous interest shown by the
public in their welfare is, however,
not sufficient evidence of gratitude.

Baseball Pioneer Celebrates 76th
 Birthday at Golf


 San Francisco, February 4.--George Wright of Boston, one of the pioneer stars of baseball who is visiting at Delmonte, California, celebrated his seventy sixth birthday by playing the seaside golf course at Pebble Beach near Delmonte, in S3. a score most golfers half his age would be proud to equal. Back in the years when the game of baseball was just taking hold. Wright managed the Cincinnati Reds and one season 1t is said made eighty home runs One year his team played it's entire schedule without be- ing defeated. Wright has been given credit for creating the position of shortstop.
 Wright. who for years has been in sporting goods business, in 1886 brought to Boston what was said to have been the first set of golf clubs and golf balls ever seen in America. He imported the clubs and balls from London. A Scotchmsn of Boston used the equipment on an empty lot there being no golf courses in the country at that time.

THREE DAYS PRAYER IN RAGING SEA ANSWERED
 IN THE NICK OF TIME
By Associated Press

New York, February 4.-The story of three days of prayer in a raging sea. and of prayers answered in the nick of time to save them from a watery grave as .cld by two women and six men of the crew of the Nova Scotian schooner 'ncnald l.. Cook, who arrived today on tankers from Mexico, where they had been landed by the British steamer San Eduardo.
 The battered, waterlogged hulk of the Cook went down less than two hours after they had been taken off, the rescued mariners declared.
 The women, Mrs. Oxner, wife of the skipper, and Mrs. Bonnet Heller, wife of the cook, were unanimously voted hoodoos" by the crew and Captain Oxner declared they would be return ed to their homes in Nova Scotia and never would be taken to sea again.
 The schooner sailed from Lunen- berg, N. S., early in December, and was coasting down toward Jamaica with a cargo of lumber when she was struck on December 14 by terrific storm.
 Her sails and her masts were car ried away, the cabins wrecked and the vessels hold filled with water. The food supply was ruined so that all went foodless for three days be- fore they were picked up by the San Eduardo.
 Mrs. Oxner was authority for the statement that the crew prayed for three days for succor. Just as they were at the point of abandoning hope their prayers were answered by the appearance of the San Eduardo.
 The party was landed by the San Eduardo at Puerto, Mexico. whence they were taken to Tuxpam. and thence to Port Arthur, Texas, where they boarded tanker for New York. They left by rail for Luenburg few hours after they landed here.

GEORGIA TECH IS WINNER OVER THE ALABAMA QUINTET
CrimSonS Unable to Duplicate Victory Over the Yellow
 Jacket Five

Atlanta. February -(Special)- The highly vaunted Alabama basket ball team tonight proved beyond question the truth of a preceding statement by Charlie Bernier. coach of the Crimson Tide. Charles said that his team had been over press agented.
 The score was 36 to 29 in favor of Tech and from the technique display ed by the teams, it seemed that Ala bama was fairly lucky to get off that light.
 Jimmie Brewster went wild after Alabama had gained an early lead. He began Altering through the Ala bama defense, getting the ball when ever he so elected and when he shot the ball always went through the Iims. He couldn't miss He rang four baskets in the first half and three in the second, and was generally a thorn in the Crimson's side.
 The Tech players went into the game with no very high hopes ot winning, They had been tremendous ly beaten over at Tuscaloosa on the AAd ONil COuIlg WHICH IN pretty good proof that in basketball the team that is working on it's own bailiwick has about 1000 per cent the best of It,
 Alabama jumped right into the lead at the start Davis Yates, who was the referee, was calling penalties on Tech, and Carter. who shot the four goals for Alabama-which were about all the goals that were shot-wasn't missing.
 Then Brewster got busy and with the aid of Jenks and Bedford began to ring in baskets, Alabama was gradually overhauled and just as the half ended. Tech had grabbed the lead and the score stood 16 to 15.
 The second half was marked by the fact that Alabama couldn't cage baskets and Tech couldn't miss them. Also the play was at times rough enough to suit any football enthu- siast. There were athletes constant ly littering up the floor.
 During the latter two thirds of the game the ball was in Alabama s terri tory about two-thirds of the time. The Crimson athletes always let the Jackets beat them to the punch, or the ball.
 The Crimson athletes seemed all ways ready to let Tech get the ball and then watch what the Tech ath- letes would do with 1t. Generally they threw it in the basket.
 The crowd was large and tremen- dously enthusiastic
