C0NY TRIMS MORSE FOR SECOND Time
This SEASON BYASC0RE OF a TO 10

Cony hish school sent the Morse
high basketeers back to Bath Satur-
day night suffering the stig of the
second defeat at the hands of the To-
cal boys for this season. Cony won
the game by a score of "a to 10 but
they had to work for their victory
every minute.
Cony started off strong in the first
period and things looked all Cony at
that time, the period ending with a
9 to l score. But the Cony players
We're having hard luck with their
shooting and in the second period
Morse specialized on Lapidus, cover
ing him up all of the time so that at
the end of the period the Shipping
City lads had annexed four from the
floor, tieing the score as Cony had
been unable to tally once although
they had many tries at the hoop.
In the third period neither team
was able to score much, Cony sue
ceeded in getting two from the floor
to one from the floor and n foul for
Morse. The period ended with l3 to
II score. Spectators We're by that
time sitting tense in their seats as
Morse threatened to break through
every minute although at no time in
the game were they ahead except for
a moment in the third period.
The last period started out about as
had the third with both teams fight
ing hard and taking several shots
apiece with no luck. although the
tries were near enough so that time
after time someone would remark
there's one" only to find that he
had been mistaken. When the period
was more than half over the score
stood IS to II with Cony still lead
ing. Then in rapid succession, Glenn
ent, Stiles and Overlook got their
eye on the basket and while the
Morse warriors we're covering Lapi-
dus. they dropped the pill through
, the hoop. A short time before the
final whistle Doyle. the Morse center
tailed once bringing the final score
to "a to 10.
The game was remarkable for the
number of shots that were attempte7
and missed by both teams. They
seemed to be having an off night,
number Of the tries being so high
that they went over the blackboard
and some so wild that they failed tt
hit it. Both teams tried long shots
from the center of the floor with poor
| results.
In a preliminary game the Y. NJ
! c. A. team of the Augusta basketball
| league won over the Printers by =
to IL score The Printers started on
strong and the first quarter ended
with them in the lead by 6 to
score. At the half they were leading
| 10 to g.. but in the final two periods
| they failed to gather single point
| while their opponents got six goals
! from the floor.

EXPLORERS TASK
Brought Music, News and
Ball Scores to Party in
WiIdS of Western Canada.

How radio has revo1utioniZed ex-
ploration was demonstrated last eve
ming by Lewis r. Freeman, who told
members of the National Geographic
Society at the Masonic Temple that
while In the heart of one of the least
frequented portions OF the Canadian
Rockies last Summer he and his COM
panions kept up with the news Of
the day, listened to jazz music, heard
heated American campaign speeches
and followed play by play the excit-
ing games Of the world series. The
radio outfit was carried by pack
horse most Of the time, but on one
occasion the faithful dog of the party
dragged II across a snowfleld on a
sled.
Mr.. Freeman showed motion pic
lures OF his party fording Ice rivers
and lakes. climbing peaks and cross
ing glaciers. The pictures included
remarkable scenic effects. After
mental divide to the foot OF huge
Mount Columbia the expedition re-
mained eight days before the clouds
lifted sufficiently for photographs to
be taken OF that little known peak.
The cloud barriers closed in again
after 80 minutes, but in the brief
interval the party was able to take
dozens of views.
The trip was made into the region
of the great Columbia ice field, which
feeds streams flowing into three
oceans. This is believed to be the
only place in the world from which
water flows into SO many of the
major seas. The expedition was
caught by the early Canadian Winter.
Heavy SHOWS covered the trails which
they had traversed, and for 10 days
their horses were practically with
out food. After breaking through
to grass II was necessary to camp
for some days until the weakened
animals recovered. The base for the
expedition was Banff

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
NOT AS EASY AS 1T LOOKS.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


What chance has the speculat tor
with small resources? Progress looks
absurdly easy to one who has not
tried 1t. AS n matter of fact, this
making of money without working
for 1t is extremely difficult.
Let me illustrate. BY this time
everybody knows that since Novem-
Der last there has been a remarka BILE
advance in prices for stocks. 1t has
been what Wall Street calls bull
market" A young man of my ac-
quaintance, we'll informed, in close
touch with Wall Street, with every
apparent advantage for successful
speculation except adequate capital,
dabbled in the market for three
months. His business was such that
1t was easy for him TO keep in touch
with market fluctuations practically
every hour of the day. He began his
operations directly at the beginning
of the rise.
Like most amateurs, he restricted
himself to the buying side. He never
sold stock short" He began by
buying a small order stock and when
1t went higher he bought more. But
then there came a decline in the
market and he got frightened and
sold the whole lot for about what it
cost him. He tried his luck with a
shoe stock. several of the oils, a coal
security and n number of railroad
shares He had $500 when he began
and at one time his paper profit was
100 per cent-that is to say, he could
have sold out all his holdings for
$500. But he didn't Instead, he
waited until one of those so-called
reactions" came along and prices
melted away only temporarily, to be
sure, but to him ominously, and he
dumped the entire amount overheard,
realizing thereon the same $400 he
had when he started. Now he is out
Of the market.
This story Is not particularly in
teresting, except in one particular,
that 1t is true. In my opinion. my
young friend is more fortunate than
the great majority who have attempt
ed the same experiment.
