 Stanley Works vs. Rule shop

The Rule Shop and Stanley Works game saw cleaner passing than the first contest but there was lot of ragged shooting in this battle. The two teams passed and lodged for eight minutes, each side missing many shots, before a score was made. Then it was Paul LaHar who came through. Al Schade followed a minute later with a long one and Jack Pelletier also got a double decker. Up to this time the Rule Shop boys were having a trying time that is they were trying constantly to cage basket but their shots were rolling off. Finally Nichols got the ball under his own basket and dash ed down the floor, going alone through the entire Stanley Works team and dropping the ball into the net for his teams first score. This was after Is minutes and 25 seconds of play. Three minutes passed before any more scoring was done and then it was Pelletier wno came through, this time on free try after being fouled by Walther. Floden was fouled and given free try. He missed but Walther followed the toss and rap ped it on the rebound. Schade got another basket and the period ended with Woodford throwing in a free try, making the score 9-J in favor of Stanley Works.
 As in the other game, close guard ing featured. Woodford kept kall- gren well covered and the best La liar could do was one from the floor so well did Floden cover him. Schade and Schroeder did equally well, holding Campbell scOreless and Nichols 10 a lone basket. Pelletier and Walther played each other even. The second half saw about re- petition of the first, with the Rule Shop climbing up a bit, scoring nine points in this half as against five in the first. However, the Stanley Workers scored ten and more than offset this spurt. Campbell, LaHar, Pelletier, Schade and Walther con- tributed good shots but the big noise of the half was when Jimmy Murphy succeeded in throwing in field bas- kct. This was James first field goal this season and the fans gave him a good hand when the ball sWishcd through the net.

Strangler, Beaten on Mat, Finds Consolation When Mum Loses Decision in Court.

Independence, Mo, Jan. 2S.- Wayne ("Big'D Mum, who recently defeated Ed ("Strangler") Lewis, former heavyweight wrestling cham pion, lost his first legal bout with Lewis yesterday when Circuit Judge w. P. Hall, declined to issue temporary restraining order against Lewis. Mum charged that Lewis had interrered with his wrestling contracts, had slandered his title as champion, and had adopted a policy of threats and intimidations. He asked temporary restraining order pending application for an iniunc- tion.
 Judge Hall explained that his re- tusal was not absolute and asked Mum and his manager to show some authority for their action. The court advised Mum to. bring dam age suit based upon specific act of interference and islander.
