BISBEE WINS,
TIES DOUGLAS
FOR POSITION

The Bisbee tossers outfought the
Bull Dogs to win the last game OF
the season. This places Douglas and
Bisbee in tie for second place In
the southern conference. The first
half was about even though BiSoee
led by small margin. the third
quarter was about even but Bisbee
outfought the local lads badly in the
final session to win, 20-13
The low rafterS bothered the Doug
las players considerably puo this is
not mentioned as an alibi, The
Bisbee boys carried the fight all the
way. Krall, of Bisbee, was the star
of the game though the guarding OF
Vercellino was of stellar grade. The
Bisbee players slipped past or around
the Douglas defense time and again
for close-in- set-ups, a Gozen CT
more of these easy shot being missed
particularly by Gutierrez, who had
an off night. The honors for Doug
las were about even.

UMPIRES MEET
AND CONSIDER
MEANING

CHICAGO, Feb. is H1-A clearer
conception of the meaning of the
rules and a more friendly relation
ship bMween the umpires, players
and fans is seen as an outgrowth
of the two-day conference of the
American league umpires which
closed today.
Called at the instigation Of Pres
ident E. s. Barnard, the IL recently
appointed arbiters went over every
phase of the game. Sitting with
the umpires and the president was
Henry F. Edwards, veteran baseball
writer and fan. Edwards now is
head of the newly organized sery-
ice bureau of the league.
"Out of this meeting" sa:e rres-
ident Barnard, 1--WE hope to bring
a uniform Interpretation of the
rules, SO that one umpire, one week,
will not give certain slant to a
rule, and another umpire, the fol-
lowing week, exactly the opposite. E"
The conference also served to ac-
quaint the nine veterans with the
three new umpires.
Clarence Rowland, who was' drop
ped from the roster of the leagues
staff of umpires, has not announced
his plans for the coming season.

vehicles by padlocking every car or
truck which does not have the new
plates by March !. Cars or trucks once
padlocked by the officers cannot be
taken by their owners again until the
licenses nave been secured and q
double assessment will be levied for
these
In this connection, and to impress
the public with the numbers who have
not yet secured their new plates,
James A. Howell, deputy assessor,
started work Saturday to secure the
figures to show how many licenses
were applied for in the Douglas district
year ago and how many have been
applied for so far this year. 1t is the
opinion of the deputy assessor and of
the men from the motor vehicles de-
partment that there is much slower
response to the securing of licenses
this year than in previous years.
Attention of the public is called by
the motor vehicle division men to the
law which requires that every paid
driver must have a chauffeurs license.
This does not apply to persons driving
their own cars but to truck drivers in
the employ of truck owners and to paid
drivers of cars owned by persons other
than themselves.

Lithuanian Mounds
 Venerated at Grave,

VAROPIU, Lithuania, Feb. z. E- Superstitious veneration at taches to the hundreds of mounds which are to be found in north eastern Lithuania. Legends con meet them with bloody battles of pagan times, when hefty Lithu- anian knights, men of thew and brawn, fought the Teutonic in- vaders who were bent on Chris tianizing them by force.
 Even to the present day these mounds are regarded as sacred gound, and no landowner will all low them to be cultivated, for tradition has it that beneath them lie the bones of the last defenders of the homeland, with the dead foemen heaped around them.
 On St. Johns night in mid sumer, beacons are lit in com memoration of ancient battles. And at the witching hour vail ings and clashings of arms may be heard, the peasants say, and weird visions seen. f Y

THE WISE GUY" IS
 COMING TO PALACE


 "The Wise Guy" a crook story, is coming to the Palace for three nights starting Thursday and Laurence Reid, well known critic, reviews the production as follows :.
 There hasn't been a picture story based upon the redemption of religious fakers in a long while. Some seasons ago "The Miracle Man" set the fashion for this type of production and the screen b.. came surfeited with redeemed crooks who used the cloth of the clergy to fleece the innocent.
 Now comes Frank Lloyd's pic ture, ''rhe Wise Guy" and it shapes up as rattling good enter, tainment-one that approaches fairly close to the realities. Like the central figure in "The Miracle Man" the preacher CD here is surrounded by crooks and he finds redemption in the same way-by falling in love. So he starts a small mission-one that travels ou wheels and the yokelry fall for his game. His fame spreads so rapidly that he is given the job of saving the fallen in a city taber- nacle. And James Kirkwood is just the ideal actor for the part. He is just one step ahead of ths sheriff until he is caught But in building the suspense the director has worked it out with keen un. derstanding and sympathy.

Short Haired Woman Juror Causes
 Potsdam Sensation

BERLIN, Feb. z. A short haired lady as juror caused a sensation recently in staid old Potsdam, where bobbed hair even today is as scarce as military uniforms were frequent in the days of the Kaiser.
 Conservative Potsdam was rath- CT slow to accommodate itself to the idea that women were en- titled to equal rights with men, and grudgingly admitted- mem bers of the fair sex to the jury box. But as the women jurors all wore the conventional long hair, they had at least, in the eyes of the Potsdamers, to be classed as gentlewomen. One day the wife of a, Potsdam goldsmith was drafted for the jury. The case proved to be a rather long one, and the gold smiths wife decided to vary the monotony of her service by hay ing her hir cut as she went home after a session.
 The judge, the court officials the other jurors, the audience gasped when she turned up in the court room the next morning But there was nothing they could do about it.
