 Larry Magnan was not present at the Dusty league last night and the Russell and Erwin team won. The fans, even the Fafnir packers, were not displeased to see these boys win, for all season they have given great exhibition of sportmanship. Always 'seeming destined to lose, they ever tried hard and never quit. Their success last night was tho sweeter for their stick-to- -itiveness.
 George Paris, brother Of Benny of the Corbin team, and Frank Kier- nan, Benny's little playmate at the factory. were again on hand last night to add the dulcet tones Of their voices to the medley of howls. These two boys are dyed in the wool root CTS for Corbin.
 Chief Larson's work from the foul line last night confirmed his title of king of the foul shooters.
 Hoist, the Corbin center, is about as clever a tap-man as there is in the Dusty circuit and a majority of the fans -believe that he is the best center in this circuit Last night he showed 1t.
 Chick Hays is determined to stamp out ungentlemanly talk on the floor. He called personal foul last night for that very thing.
 During the first half of the Lam ders-Corbin game. Harry Ginsberg wore half a smile. Charley Cooks usually smiling countenance wore half frown. In the second half both of these facial expressions had been fully developed.
 tAHOliltT HltUlOT tllttTSllp lOiu. Dave Ellison appears in the role of coach of the Fafnlr team. With Gins berg coaching Corbin, Cook coaching Landers and Ellison with the Fafnir boys all that Is needed is to have Charley Miller take hold and the mentor-combinatio of old timers will be complete.
 Well, the Mats cannot but admit that they were off form last night. They seem to be on the tobogganI but it is but temporary for with their. ability to play they will soon lit their winning stride. They'll have Q chance to even up with the Endees Saturday night.
 Tho Sokol Athletic club basketball team held it's first practice last night. A dozen members were present and another meeting will be held Thurs day at 7:15 p. m. The club is getting ready for spring and baseball will be discussed tomorrow night.
 This new organization bids fair to develop into one of the city's livest athletic combinations, Good work boys, stick to it and your fun will more than pay for your early troubles.
 Howard Rehm, assistant physical director at the Y., has q secret, h. dications are that he has private aspirations to become a golfer,
 And here lies q tale. Yesterday, | when all was quiet at the Y., How ard disappeared and a short time later there was great commotion out in the street as the driving DOT ton of a nidiron, butter or mashie or something came hurting down through space like a meteor.
 investigation showed that Howard | was ndulging in little driving | practice on the top floor of the ', where a driving net has been set up.
 Rehm insists that he did not hit l the ball, but the end of the club flew off. Joe Hergstrom, who owns the | club. maintains that Howard is right | when hs says he did not hit the ball, but adds that the shattered end o1 the shaft indicates that he hit some- thing.
 There was just a splinterpg 1 noise," Howard says, to which Joe adds. "Yes, that was the floor as you | dug it up"
 The South church quintet, which !, received a bad beating at the hands of the State Trade school last week. | will seek to even matters tonight | when these two teams will face each l other at the Boys club. Back on their home floor, the church should | be a hard team to stop, for it has | taken nine out of it's last 10 home l < games.
 The return of Cecil Cooley to cen ter position on the church is sched- uled for the near future, as soon as l he is sufficiently recovered from his illness. This will fill the big want in I the lineup and put the team on its best footing again.
 Basketball teams from Troop 1 of the First Congregational church and Troop 20 of the Lincoln school will clash tonight at the Boys club. Coach Cassidy of the high school ! s says that Henry ZehreTwas the best basketball player on the team and Al,nE hnrri.,ani,,rr a rnn1i.rn
