AUBURN QUINTET
 BEATS BENNING
Tigers Outplay. Visitors In Second Game Of Sea-
 son Wednesday

AUBURN, Ala, Jan. 16.-(special) The Fort Benning Doughboys took the count tonight in the second campus game of the season of the Auburn Tiger quintet by score of 42 to 18,. in favor of the Tiger basketers.
 Ankcorn, Fort Benning forward, was the first to register a counter when he the first three minutes of play was ending. Joe Harrison, star centey for the Plainsmen, 1ooped one on the other end of the court to even the count. This was the halting moment for the visitors, and for several minutes the Blues failed to register. The Hutsell squad loomed up in the foreground when Creel added a one-pointer on . free throw. The Benning lads never looked dangerous after this time. '
 When the first semester ended, the Tigers had counted 26 points, while a total of eight. Of the 26 points for the Tigers at the end of the first peri cd. Creel. forward, had accumulated one-hah of the total, while Capt. Hahn was a close follower-up with nine points to his credit.
 The second period started with a shower of Tiger goals which put the game on cold storage for the Orange. At this juncture, Coach Hutsell al- lowed his understudy class to go into the fray and get taste of the Ben ming fire. Ware and B. Mckinney re- placed Capt. Hahn and Creel at for ward. Hagenschmidt took Harrison's place at center and Gray and Barks replaced W. Mckinney and Duke at guards. The newcomers gave a good account of themselves during their stay on the firing line and were able to count seven points while the Camp sters found the baskets for six.
 Creel led the pack in the loop work and Equaled Bennings scored with 18 Capt. Hahn maintained his reputation as a loop artist and swelled the Au- burn total with Il. Harrison, at cen- ter. besides looking after the middle of the court in good shape, gotfa trio of nice goals from the court.
 Duke and w. Mckinney played jam up style at guard, and it was their bulldog tactics freezing on to the Ben- ming forward that accounted for the low score for the losers. For the sec ond team, Barks work at guard fea- tured, while the one-sided score would indicate a loose game. Such was the case. Benning was waging hot fight throughout. Lambert, who substituted for Fortier, led in counting with six points. Pearson at center, Buck at forward and McKenna at guard play ed a good game.

 Continuing what I have decided to call my examination papers, I would like the amateur ball clubs now being organized in the colleges and on the town lots to get together and study the following group of questions. Also inclihed to roast ball players on the spur of the moment to look these over.
 The Hit. and Run

 s-Is the best time to hit and run when you have the pitcher in the hole?
 Generally speaking, the answer to
 
 Some of them, though, are open to dis cussion. It is that discussion that am trying to encourages. Nothing gets ball club or any other business as far along as an intelligent discussion of the problems that will have to be I submitted that set of questions to the boys at Carnegie Tech, and you would be surprised to know what a large percentage of them answered them correctly.
 One of them answered: q know have asked if we do those things that we ought to do. The answer to that Is often mo-"
 While good, hard. common sense should be used in deciding whether to hit and run, 1t must be done some- times e . surprise. I might explain that big league batters usually hit behind the runner for the simple req son that they are skillful enough to do 1t. Hitting behind the runner means that if a runner Is on first base, we'll say, the batter gives him the ball between first and second behind the runner. That is big point in the play. If the ball is hit through to right field, the base runner can 90 all the way to third. If the ball goes into left, he is likely to be stopped at second.
 Must Be Sure Of Direction
 Players to work the hit and run successfully must be men who are pretty sure of hitting the ball in the direction indicated. Many of them can, not hit into a certain field. As a rule, ball clubs arrange their batting order so that the star hit and run men will be together and near the top of the list.
 Willie Keeler and John McGraw were great hit and run men. In fact, their club, the old Orioles, first made 1t a successful stunt. Kid Elberfeld was . good hit and run man. So was Miller Hugxins. I never saw a bet ter one than Fred Clarke. Claude Ritchey, though not a heavy hitter or-

CHILD LABOR BOSSES
WOULD CONFUSE PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Unfair
employers would create the belief
that the child labor amendment to the
federal constitution, just approved by
the house, would prohibit all labor by
children under 18 years.
Efforts to change the age limit to
Is years is part of this propaganda,
and was condemned by President
Gompers, in a public statement. The
A. F. of L. executive said many per-
sons have been deceived as to tie
meaning of the language employed
in the amendment
"The amendment would be an en-
abling act permitting congress to
limit, regulate or prohibit the labor
Of persons under Is years of age
said President Gompers. "The age
under which the labor of children
would be prohibited by congress would
be governed by the demands of the
people. Between that age and 10
years congress would limit or regu-
late the labor of children according
to the sentiment of the people.
II can not but believe that Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler of Co.
lumbia college is one of those who has
been previously deceived, or he would
not have written such a letter as he
did to Senators Shortridge and Wads-
worth, for he says:
1.-The notion that every boy and
every girl should be kept in
school or college until 10 years
has nothing to commenced it but
sheer sentimentality.
Nothing is further from the facts,
as has been noted" said President
Gompers. "The people of the United
States are determined that there shall
be protection for the children. Any
individual or political party that de-
feats the will of the people will be
held responsible by the people"

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
Food prices are falling in the United
States. The grocer and butcher are
marking down their prices, the Uni
ted States Department of Labor found
in a nationwide survey. The survey
covered all principal cities of the
country.
In Chicago, most expensive city
food prices fell down from SIS per cent
above 1913 in February to 81 pc;
cent in March. Westinghouse prices
went from 81 to 40 while in Detroit
the cut was So per cent to 4S per cent
in relation to 1913.

In five cities, filling the family
market basket now costs less than
throughout the country at large.
These cities are Memphis, Seattle,
Los Angeles, San Francisco and
Cleveland. In each the food price
level was closer to the 1913 price
than the average for the entire coun-
try.
Prices in st. Louis and Pittsburgh
were found to be 45 per cent above
1918 or very close to the average for
the entire country. New York, De-
troit, Washington and Chicago prices
are well above the average for the
country despite the fact that in each
a decline is in progress.

Yakima is still suffering from the
depression resulting from agricultural
bankruptcy which surrounds it on ev-
cry hand; although it is much more
prosperous than Walla Walla where
every line of business and activity
is practically flat on its back. Hopes
held out at Walla Walla for relief from
its prospective bumper crop this year
were shattered two weeks ago by the
blight of a heavy frost which killed
from so to 80 per cent of all fruit
crops, many of the orchards suffered
100 per cent loss in prospective crops
from the frost.

President Short visited the central

Thursday night, also spent Friday
there in consultation with representa-
tives Of the labor movement. A local
charter of culinary workers may later
