baseball season, Breckenridge High

Turner Hall made it three consecutive
victories over the Crimsons this sea-
son. incidentally, of course. coping
the Academic laurels. The score was
- to IL.
In spite of the 16-point margin for
the South Siders at the finish, the
game was bitterly contested. McCar
ley, little Main forward. managed to
keep his team i'm the running during
the first half with three long field
goals two from the center of the
court and the other a spectacular shot
from well past the center circle,
These were the only Main Avenue
field goals in the game. Breckenridge s
celebrated defense holding Main to
three points in the second half, all on
fouls.
The score at the half was II 10
s. In the second period the winners
opened up with some exceptionally
pretty passing and everybody on the
team wa senabled to loop a basket
while Veltman. who played perhaps his
best game with Breckenridge this sea

of Mains eleven points. Dwyer. Fra
ley. McDougall and Kennedy Gael
made one point on foul throw.
Buster Carver. star guard of tho
South Side team. was also playing
his last game for the school. He gave
his usual smashing exhibition and its
effect is indicated by the fact that
Main rang no goals from less than
so feet of the basket.
The speed of the game and limited
size of the cOurr caused much of what
the basket ball officials call personal
contact. Every nlayer spent part of
the afternoon reclining on the floor.

divided into pig-tails, each tied with
a ribbon, standing out all over their

that rest across their shoulders. Now

great building devoted to Buddha and
some scores of other gods. 1t stands
right in the heart of the city. With
its grounds il must cover perhaps 10
acres. 1t is surrounded by out-of-
door stores and shops, which make it

sell you medicine CIR pull your teeth:
crown for you on the spot. The sign
of their trade is dinner plate filed
with extracted teeth. Many Chinese
believe that toothache is caused by 4
worm in the tooth and that an ex.
pert extractor can draw out the worm
without pain to the patient. / am

In this same temple yard are scores
of BARRIERS plying their trade and men
selling pet birds in cages. When a
Chinaman buys a bird, he carries it
around with him on his finger. tied
to his wrist with q string, so that if
birdie tries to escape it can be pulled
back. There are all sorts of toy stores
in the temple grounds, and porcelain
OF every variety is stacked up on the
streets awaiting customers.
The temple itself has a statue of
Buddha as high as q four-story house,

around il. There are also more than
