A WORD TO THE WISE IS
USUALLY SUFFICIENT

Have you an old rocker about the
house? One Of those old-fashioned
comfortable kind. that perhaps needs
q little paint, but is still durable and
useable. Well, Mt the County Hospi-
tai are twelve old gentlemen who are
not as spry as when they pioneered in
the Gunnison country. Mrs. Bates,
the matron, tells US they only have
two or three rockers, and could well
use few more. The old boys find it
hard to sit in straight backed chairs
all the time. You know how it is
yourself. News Champion Is inclined
to think there are a number around the
town who would gladly donate these

The Mechanics did all they We're

ended i'm their favor by 10 to o. Then
in the second half Penns Grove re
turned what they had received IN the
previous game by commanding the
ball about all the time SO that the OPP
ponents did not get to make a held
goal in the period. As for scoring
themselves, they played the game IN
every way for them to win except for
that thing which has been noticeable
the whole season, but in spite Of which
they led the league, that little ~
essential of accuracy In throwing
goals many more times than the Me
chanics. who, when they did play the
ball. had but to give Stephenson a
chance to score and he did it.
In the first period the playing was
so rapid that the men did exciting
plays that brought applause again
and again. Patterson and stephenson
each made a stellar throw that scored.
The only applause for floor work was
given Franklin when, in his contlnu-
Gus work at guard, he intercepted a
throw to Stephenson, standing under
the basket to score, and he intercepted
it by a fast and thrilling play that IS
generally considered the impossible.
Franklin was again applauded in the
second half for a spectacular goal
made from mid-hoor.
Except for a foul made by Boyce
and by Stephenson, all the scoring FOR
the Mechanics was in the first half,
principally by Stephenson. Each Penns
Grove mar added to the cor but
Boyd Smith was the leader in scoring
