DAWSON Hi LOSES
BY ONE SIDED SCORE
RICHLAND WALLOPED LOCAL
QUINTET BY 102 TO IL. EV-
cry GAME LOST.

The long ride over rough roads and
through hard rain did not seem tc
tire the Richand all star basket ball
team Tuesday night; at least the
score did not indicate fatigue.
The Dawson boys were completely
at the mercy of the visiting quintet
and the final score was 102 to II in
favor of the visitors.
This was the fourth straight defeat
of the local five. 1t was thought that
the jinx which was believed to be the
cause of the other three defeats would
depart after making the boys lose the
third game, but it seems that there's
some other reason instead OF old H.
Luck.
Probably the boys have not adhered
closely to their rule of training. This
steady losing to every team they meet
should get monotonous, and instill in
the players a determination to win a
game, no matter how much it incon-
venienced their social pleasures.
On the other hand possibly Dawson
does not deserve better team. A to-
tai of 90 cents was placed i'll the
treasury as a result of the game Tues
day night Two school girls were
present, and two young men from
Shellman made the remainder of the
crowd"

CHICAGO, July 20.-Another ray of
nope, that one of the amazing last
hour developments which saved him
from death on the gallows last Friday
krould become tangible enough to
prove his innocence during a seven
day reprieve, has been extinguished
Tor Russell Scott.
James NJ. Ball, a Detroit telegraph
operator, who last Friday declared
That he witnessed the shooting of Jo-
Aeph Maurer, Chicago drug clerk, and
that Russell was innocent of the slay-
sng, has admitted that the story was
b romance concocted for the sake of
humanity"
Believes Scott Innocent.
Ball said that he told a lie to save
hne whom I believe innocent" but
That when he found that his story
&as not accomplishing anything, he
decided to admit the fake.
This was the second blow that Scott
has received since his dramatic re-
prieve six hours before he was to
hang. The stay of execution was or
, dered by Gov. Len Small when a
telegram from Detroit purporting to
be from Robert Scott, the condmened
mans brother, confessing the murder,
was received. According to Russelrs
, story, Robert Scott, also under tndict-
h1ent did the shooting.
The sender of the telegram prom
ssed to surrender. the next day, but
communications were received, how
ever, one a letter purporting also to
be from Robert. mailed in Chicago
last Thursday night. In this it was
stated that he was seriously i'll, but
would give himself up as soon as he
was able.
Still Hope for Communication.
Scott's attorneys still are pinning
hope for Communication on affidavits
they said they had from two unnamed
women said to have been in the drug
store at the time of the shooting. So
far as known, no official action has
been taken in the case.
Ball indicated that he may have
been the one who sent the Detroit
Telegram to the governor. Declaring
that Scott's predicament prayed on
his mind, the operator said he first de-
cided to concoct a telegram purporting
10 be from Russell's brother, but l
Thought 1t out little further and
lastly struck the idea of representing
myself as a witness"
