We can think of nothing that
would provoke a boy any more than
to have another boy steal his

that some of the girls have been do
ing here of late.

LADIES' TOWN
 TEAM WINS
 THE TROPHIES
Took 4 Straight Games Basketball From High
 School Girls

The Ladies' Town team last night won it's fourth game from the High School Girls, 13 to 8, thereby closing the series and winning the seven silver miniature basket balls placed as trophies for the team taking four out of seven games.
 It was a glorius battle! Fortunately there were no fatalities among either the players or spectators, although it was evident that a number of per fectly good dispositions had been ruined for life.
 How they did fight for that ball, with the blood-thirsty fans urging them on with howls of glee, alter mating with sobs of. sorrow, as the tide of battle changed.
 The first half ended to 2 for the Ladies, each team throwing one basket, but the Ladies gaining their advantage by converting three free throws
 In the second half the Ladies found the hoop twice to the Girls once. and converted four free throws while the Girls made but three.
 Referee Emil Hill called the fouls pretty closely, with the result that of the total of 21 points made by both teams, eleven were gained from converted free throws, seven by the Ladies and four by the Girls.
 The school girls did nobly. They could not have played any harder and it was only a superior team that defeated them. The score, after all is a small matter-it's the game that counts; and the Girls should have but few regrets over the series. Therefore, let us take off our hats to the Girls for their true fighting spirit and their willingness to battle the game to it's finish.
 But the Lades won the series- fairly and squarelv. And it has been no small matter for them to put their best into the game when they knew that
