Doubleheader Games
 Were Hotly Contested

The double header basketball games at A. B. hall last night, between the City and Cable Office teams, and the | American Legion and High School teams were hotly contested, and prob ably placed more men hore de com bat than any games seen in the city Prof. Barnett, who played on the City team and on the High School teams, is laid up today with badly sprained ankle, Hector Mclean has cracked rib and numerous bruises Wilfred Stump is sporting a mouse on one eye, and has numerous contu-- sions and bruises. Boley, of the Cable office team has badly bruised foot; and other members look like they had gone over the top in the Marne sec-- tor. And it all came about in this way: Intense rivalry has developed between the four teams in the city, and this leads to another story The first contestants on the floor last night were the City and Cable office teams, the City team garnering the scalps of their husky rivals with much pain and travail. When the fin al barrage was laid down the score stood 23 to in favor of the City For the city Stump made 10 points, Johnson 8, Manthey 4, Dyer 3. The Cable office volunteers made points as follows: Selby 2, Thinker A. Robi- son 1. No comments are made on those who did not score, as like the heroes of Balaklava they galloped on ward, for much more than a half a league.
 The second game was between the High School five and the American Legion squad, the younger boys romp- ing away with the game B to A. It was in reality a game for Merritt She'll horn and Francis Leslie, as the for mer made 15 out of 33; the latter 12; the other players contributed 6 points, Hector Mclean annexing of those and Wilfred Stump ? Here is where the casualties piled up with no hospital corps at hand. The Legion squad columned right and left obliqued taking intervals as in skirmish line Commander James Bogart made 4 bullseyes on the basket; Comrade Fucker 6; Dr. Roberts ?, and Pvt. Logan ?.
 The referees for the game between the City and Cable Office were T. Dyer, Dr. Roberts, and M Shellhorn. Timekeeper, H. Frost
 Referees for the High School and Legion game were Thinker and Dyer. Timekeeper Frost:
 The games were we'll attended and were most interesting.

Bellefonte, Pa.-Crushed amid the

Charles H. Ames, the pilot for whom
thousands have been searching nine
days.
II was evident that Ames. for six
years a pilot, was flying low on the
night Of October i. while enroute from
New York to the west with cargo Of
mail. AErmafl officials expressed the
belief that the birdman, confused by
dense fog. had plotted his ship into the
mountaInside, meeting instant death
when the plane crashed into the forest.
When found, the dead pilot was
seated IN the cockpit, his right arm
raised 70 AIS face as If TO ward off q
blow. His legs were entwined about
the control stick and his parachute was
strapped to his back. with two flares,
the aviators' signal OF distress. lying
by hts side. The gas tank contained
sufficient fuel to carry him some dis
lance and all switches OF the motor
we're on. This led the mail officials to
believe that death was instantaneous.
