|HANDBALL CHAMPS ID BE PICKED.
Series Of Matches for Best Single
 Player

Tn order to determine tho best singles hand ball player in the asso- ciation the Physical department of the Y. M. c. A. will conduct tourna- nents in three classes. The pres ent champions in the three classes are as follows: Glass A, Henry Dres- sel; class B, Ronald McCutcheon; class c, w. H. Walthers.
 The tournament will be conduct- cd along the same lines as the con- tests of last year whereby man can challenge any man within five numbers of hts position and the player who tops the list on the last day of play will be declared the winner in his section. Tn addition to this a player who has been placed in the class c section and who feels that he is good enough to move into a grade higher division, may have the privilege of challenging and. If winning his match, taking his place in that section.
 Bert Loomis in consultation with numerous players in the association as to where they should be rated submits the following graded list of players:
 Glass A, Henry Dressel, E.. Inter- span, J. Hergstrom. s. Mag, E. Mag, W. Greenstein. H. Stearns. s. Skin ner, c. Cook, D. Dunn, r. Unterspafi, R. Loomis, s. Dudack, r. Brady, B, Loomis.
 Glass B, J. Began, J. Rogan, R. McCutcheon. !. Contaros, R. Norcn, P. walthers, F. Walthers, H. Rehm, G. Anderson, A. Levitt, w. Nelson, H Hornkohl, P Perokas. c Restelli, J. Sheehan. ..
 Class c, Irving Rachlin, T. Grove, H. Milkowitz, NJ. Doherty, A. Scott, H. Kutscher. w. Retz, c. Swanson, J. Olander, F. Root, w. Lnterspan, c. Cans, A. Bottomly, J. Leubeck, A. Siderowf, W. Bottomly, C. Mill Ter, A. Middlemas, w. Fitzell, Dr. E. Hand, A. Stowell, Dr. Waskowitz
 The above list compiled by the chairman will undoubtedly cause much dispute amongst the player: as to their proper rating and these arguments can only be settled or the hand ball courts in tournament play. All last years champions wil have to look to their laurels thii year for new players are taking holt in good style.
 Quite a number informal (dou bles) hand ball matches are beint played oft during the. past two weeks. A new team known as tn Mag brothers have been taking th' wind out of the sails of some of th' eld- timer teams such as the Ores sel-Unterspan, Loomis-saxe and th' Unterspan- Hergstrom teams. s' easily did they defeat the Herg strom-unterspan combination las Friday and the losers not taking dc feat gracefully challenged the Maj brothers to determine who shoul' be considered the best in the Y The sherry-skinner-Charles Cool combination team going great gun years ago has not been heard iron llately. r.

 GAME IN H|GGANUM
Lithuanians Lose Heart.Breaker,
 @-iS, After Final Spurt

Lacking real good defense last evening the local A. L. A. outft was forced to bow to the Higganum live at the Town hall in that city.
 Baromi and Fredickson, the Hig- Kanum stars found the hoop in the very first few minutes of play and together with Brookes, their mate, they had the scored piled up to six befors the locals opened their eyes. However, Kaminicky of the locals scored @ nifty double-counter In the next toss-up and the curtains or the battle were lifted. In a whirlWind rush Baromi secured the ball under saxe's nose and dropped the ball h. Brookes made another score when Kaminicky once more swung into firing order. F'umbling the ball with great frequency the local poys fought gamely. Somehow me oa'i rolled under the locals target ana Tuttles picked 1t up and let 1t ny toward the basket. It twirled around and dropped out. Kaminicky pushed it up for its second journey upward hpt it flew over to the other side where Knapp tapped 1t also but w1th no success. The Higganun' lads their received the ball and worked it down the floor in splendid fasn- Ion. Traskas let loose for push up shot but the ball went wild ana Yankaska jumped in midair to gam ,ts possession. The ball was knocked from his hand and three piled after it Brookes touled in the mixup ana Yaninicky received two free throws making one of them good. The first half ended with the locals trali- ipv far behind. Score. ie to '.
 Ara,n, with accustomed regularity Earoni started the latter half w1tn n bang, sinking e pretty shot with ths local guards nowhere in sight After four minutes of tight playine Knapu scored. Kaminicky followed un with . corker and the score s4xrted to stir somewhat. Tuttle' missed a dandy chance to score 1T the next rush and his second at tempt to follow 1t up proved bie failure too. Knapp scored a sw1t one from the side. The crowd wa' on its toes now. for the Higganun lads had scored but twice in th' second half, Baromi accounting fo' them both. With but three min utes to play Todechini was sent Il to mix things up for the Higganun boys for the score already was Zo U IA He didn't get started however and with their last efforts poti teams rushed madly up and dow the floor and in the fray the whistl was heard. Final score 20 to lS'
 The Higganum followers praise the locals for their neat and clea' playing. and throughout the entir game there was only one foul called and that on their own team.
 Arrangements for another oattl were made immediately. It Is eX pscted the battle will be staged 1 two weeks and with little chang in their defensive makeup, the lc eals predict a victory to atone fo the bitter outcome of last night affair.
 Kam1nicky was the shining ligf for the locals, playing a whirlwin game. Knapp showed some gr also. Al Baromi and Brookes starre for the Higganum five. getting eigf baskets amongst them.
 Tonight the locals will offer a har struggle to the Community quint' in Meriden, who have been nursin record of not little worth. TIT team will leave the club rooms seven.

WALTER TUCHOLL
IS BOUND OVER
Charged With Offense in
Which Miss Hammes is
Complainant.
STORY TOLD IN COURT
Twas a Dancehall COurtship
as She UnfOlds Details
of the Tale.

Walter Tucholl, 534 Park street,
was bound over for trial in the NUM-
cipal court this morning following a
preliminary hearing on statutory
charge, in which Miss Lucille Hammes
was complaining witness for the state.
Tucholl's case will come up before a
jury at the July term of the circuit
branch of the municipal court. Bonds
were fixed at $500 and furnished.
Miss Hammes, who is %, young
woman of education and refinement,
took the witness stand this morning
shortly before IL o'clock and told her
story. There were moments when she
faltered, and hesitated, while her mind
seemed to totter in dots. while
the clock licked away relentlessly and
the judge, the court reporter, the as
sistant district attorney, the attorney
for the defense, and the defendant
himself waited. In the courtroom her
best friends were her father who tor
tured by the whole episode was yet
standing by his girl, and the police
woman, Mrs. Mcneil. And plucking Up
her heart again, the young woman
proceeded.
The story the witness had to tell
was not one of a casual filing" a
moonlight night, the whirr Of winged
insects, passion and madness, but of
a steady courtship which continued for
months, with Walter Toucholl the adj
mirer and herself the admired one.
That it ended in disgrace and shame
seem a rebuke mostly to her Judge
ment in responding to the advances
of so diletante a cavalier, a wonder
that a girl like that could "fall for
his line"
"We met at a private dancing par
ty," she said, ain the month of June,
1924. We met through a boy friend
and he, Walter Toucholl, asked for q
dance A week or so later he made an
arrang ement with me for Wednes-
day night. We went to show and
directly after went home. In the
latter part of June on Sunday night
met him again at another dance. He
took me home from the dance. On
the succeeding Wednesdays he called
me UP making dates. We had regular
dates Wednesdays and Sundays from
then or until the month of December
During that period I met him once a
week at least.
Son August 18th Walter Toucholl
called me at my home. He asked me
to come over to his house. He had a
pair of stockings for me. He let me
in and we we're in the parlor alone.
He said he wanted me to go with him
to Milwaukee that night. There was
no one else down stairs where we
were"
1t was on this occasion, the witness
said, that they were intimate, and she
spoke of other occasions which fol-
lowed.
Toucholl did not take the stand. He
was represented in court by Attorney
A. L. Drury who cross examined the
witness. At the close of the hearing
Tucholl was bound over for trial by
Judge Slater.

HUSBAND HAS
ANOTHER STORY
Frank Schmeckel Tells His
Story of His Domes-
tic Troubles.
SAYS WIFE DESERTED

Another angle of the love triangle
which found its way into the courts
here last week when Nick Joseph
Boehm and Mrs. Elizabeth Schmeckel
were brought into court on charges
of being illicit lovers, developed to-
day when Frank Schmeckel, the wo-
mans husband came to Kenosha to
attend the adjourned hearing of his
wife's and her lovers cases.
Schmeckel is a well-to-do farmer
living east of Lake Geneva. He came
here to defend his own name against
the claim made by his wife that che
was living with another woman"
which she had made in defense of her
own conduct
He found that the court was not yet
ready to rule on what is to be done
in the two cases, still deferring SEM
tence pending a thorough investiga-
ton.
Tells Another Story.
1t was quite a different story that
Schmeckel had to tell.
"Here is what happened to me-" he
said. 81 want the people to know my
side of the story. My wife, who is
under arrest here, left me with our
three children. For several months l
tried to take care of the house with
the care of the oldest girl but found
it impossible. When my wife did not
return, ] was forced to secure the
services of housekeeper. That is all
there is to it and it is not fair to this
woman or to me to infer that this has
been any cause for whatever my wife
has DONE"
Schmeckel said he had hesitated to
secure a divorce from his wife for the
sake of his children but that he was
awaiting the outcome of the present
court case before making any final de-
cision.
81 will not appear in court against
her." he said. 81 hope that she, if
sentenced, is paroled, but l fear now
that l will be driven to divorce ac-
ton"
Brought Children Here.
Schmeckel brought his children and
neighbor with him to Kenosha to
substantiate his angle of the story.
He said he was willing to have the
court go over into the community in
which he lived and Investigate his
story.
Meanwhile Boehm and Mrs. Sch
meckel, who are alleged to have lived
together here, are being held await
ing sentence. The man is in the coun-
ty Jail and the woman at the deten-
| ton home.
