RANGERS OUTCLASS
 MOHAWkS BY 39-l6
Win Rough and Tumble Game From Rivals in Amateur League

The Rangers, in measure, got sweet revenge for their football de- l feat at the hands of the Mohawks when they defeated the Mohawk bas- ketball team 39 to 1e in the city ann ateur league game at the armory Sat urday night.
 Rough and Tumble Game.
 The victory of the Rangers was the more sweet for their followers since it was unexpected. In the opening per tod the Mohawks outplayed and out shot the Rangers and when the whis- tie blew the Mohawk boys were in the lead to 5. Coming back for the second stanza, however. it seemed a different team that faced the Mo- hawks. The forwards shot them in from all angles, their passwork was superior and the center too, broke into the scoring column generously. The game was rough and tumble affair. but good natured throughout and Referee Steve Dudaek was liberal in his interpretation of the personal fouls rules. calling but nine in the game. Of these four were on the Mo- hawks and five on the Rangers, Yam kaskas in his enthusiasm being the greatest offender with three chalked up against him.
 Sokora the Star.
 For tho Mohawks, Sokora at center was the shining light He was the first Co tally. hooking in a double decker within the first few minutes of play. He was like m eel on the floor, Ia. .t, Ina saH a make long story short, piled up a total of eight points. the sole scoring ot his team. in the opener. o'Brien WAS the only member of the Rangers who did anything in the first session, hooking in two from the floor and one from the foul line, Thus when the period ended the score might have been announced: "Sokora s, o'Brien G." Barnett. who played right for ward for the Rangers and who sew cial seasons ago was simething Of a flash on the court. was in very bad form in the first period. His passing. dribbling and floor work was fine. but his aim was poor. he missing no less than l6 shots. including two fouls.
 Barnett Comes Back In the second nhi, however, par nett came back strong and showed where he earned his old time rep as a basketbsller. He started with the whistle and saged one from the floor and before the final toot was heard the doughy little forward had drop ped in eight goals from the field, some of them from different positions. kamenicky also was bulwark of strength in the second half Not only did he hold the elusive sokora 10 a single basket, but also he hookeed in six from the field and one from the foul line himself o'Brien hooped in

 The visitors resorted to a strong defense and the All-New Britain for wards seemed unable 10 break through and were forced to try long shots. very few of which connected. The local boys, without offering any alihis, certainly were getting the tough breaks Of ehe evening. Time and again Taylor and Babcock rim. med the basket with shots that on any other evening would have been good for two points To woiak be- longs the spells. Chuck" played as pretty game as could be asked for and McGran. visiting center was held to one doubledecker while the shifty Chuck" sent four swishing through tho net.
 The first half which saw the teams battling neck and neck ended 2.-f5 in favor Of Waterbury.
 Vita the start Of the second half the visitors began to locate the basket altogether foo often for the comfort Of the local boys and in short time were leading by 10 points. At this rart of the zame, Larson and woiak were ruled out on four personals as kilduf had been earlier in the game and Hope" Rerelli and La liar were injected into the fray. Bsbcock was then switched 10 A guard position and Red" Reynolds wentin at right for ward. Despite all these changes, however the visitors continued to draw ahead and the game ended as Resteili threw in a doubiedecker.
 For the All-Collegians the work of Dumchott and carrol were the bright points while for the All-New Brltains the work or woiak stood out prominently.

WOMAN ROUTED SIX INDIANS
slnaie-Handed, Mrs. Merrill Slew Red
skins With an Ak, Only One
Escaping.

During the summer of 1887, Mr..
was attacked by seven wandering In
dians, writes Lewis Appleton Barker In
Adventure Magazine. The barking of
the watchdog at midnight was the
family's first knowledge Of the ap-
proach of any one. and, unfortunately,
Mr.. Merrill opening the door to learn
what was afoOt, had his thigh and arm
Immediately broken by rife fire. thus
placing him at the very beginning hors
de combat AS he fell he cried out to
his wife to close the door. Mrs Mer-
rill, the equal of any man In both
strength and courage, seized the ak
and dropped the bar Of the door, just
as several Indians appeared In view.
1t was not long however, before they
had effected breach and were half
way into the little room. With only
the ak as weapon this Amazonian
woman killed or seriously wounded
four of her assailants.
The other three, ascending to the
roof, made an effort to make an en-
trance by means Of the great chimney.
Undaunted the lone defender, with
four savages wallowing in their blood
at her feet, seized her choicest posses
sion, feather bed, and, ripping ii open
threw it upon the fire, making blind
ing smoke, in which two of the re-
manning fiends dropped TO the hearth
nearly insensible. 1t was but the work
of moment to dispatch these two a.
she had the others
One would have thought that this
would have been enough for the sole
survivor, but apparently he, too. was
not devoid of courage. For scarcely
had she succeeded In ridding herself of
those who had come down the chimney
than her attention was called to the
last one who was even then hurting
himself over the threshold OF the
broken door, There was not even
time to raise her weapon for good
blow, but just as it was In her hands,
she drew the keen edge of the CORY
AK across the cheek of the intruder,
infiicting deep cash.
Apparently this was too much even
for him, and with one terrific yell he
made for the forest.

Elk All but Annihiiatad.

Elk once occurred In nearly every
state, but the larger number are now
confined to national forests and nation

forest service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. or total Of
72,000 elk reported several years ago,
over $1,000 find range on the national
forests some time during the year.
The once large herds Of antelope
found In all western states have been
almost annihilsted, but the 400 head
now existing on the national forests
In 10 states constitute the nucleus of
future herds A total Of 1900 noun
tain sheep In IL states, and 10000
mountain goats in four states are re-
ported. A few representatives of many
other big-game species are still found
in widely scattered sections of the ma
tional forests, while fur-bearing anil
mails under protection show q remark
able increase in most localities.

During the illness that resulted Ia
his death, In 1872, Horace Greeley en-
pressed a wish in talking with his
daughter, that after he WAS gone and
forgotten, his old barn would still be
serving useful purpose. Although
the famous editor has been dead for
half century, his wish has been made
reality, and his daughter and her
husband are living today In the house
into Which they transformed the old
concrete barn.
Some years after the death Of Gree
ley fire destroyed all the frame build
ings on the estate, and the family
sought 1efuge in the old barn as an
emergency home. Later, with the as
slstance of an architect, the old barn
was remodeled into comfortable and
modern dwelling. The corners and
part Oh the foundations are of recent
masonry construction, and the Chin
neys and trimmings Of brick have been
added. The new residence Is described
In Popular Mechanics.

CENSORS AID BAD
BOOKS

New York.-Obscure and obscene
books have often been put in the list
of best sellers through the activity
of some prying censor, who would
guard the peoples morals, according
to letter written by Chief City
Magistrate McAdoo to Supreme Court
Justice Ford. The magistrate said
that many failing play has been
turned into success overnight with
the aid of some reformer.
"And am convinced" he said, "that
the theatre people themselves are be-
hind the movement to advertise their
thoroughly nasty, rotten produc-
tions" The law has broken down
in effectively dealing with these mat
ters, said the magistrate.
This breakdown, he said, is caused
not because of the law but because
of court decisions which are based on
the evidence of those who have an
interest in the production of plays,
paintings and books. To remedy this
condition Magistrate McAdoo referred
to a decision by the New York SUI
preme court which held that evidence
from this source was incompetent
and that the question of whether a
play or book is immoral ''is to be de-
termined by their reaction on the
ordinary citizen, the everyday man
and woman of the average intelli-
gence and having regard to what is
conventionally considered decent and
moral"

permitted to earn from the soil, the
land monopolists are now to be bribed

and offer them at prices so high, SO
oppressive, that unfortunate buyers

The different committees appointed

eral weeks ago to meet with certain
groceries who have been handling
Krug's non-union bread, reported that
they met with the grocers and that
nearly all of them agreed to diseoh-

members of the Bakers Union have
been waging an effective war against
this foreign non-union bread, and il
will not be long until it will be out
of the city. This concern has been
giving coupons to the housewife In
order to create demand for their
bread. A few have fallen for the cou-
pons but the demand for Krug's
bread has declined, the grocers say
