Ed (Keen Competition) Fuller, just
returned from a vacation trip, was
amazed over the horseshoe activity in
the Middle West.
But he was surprised even
more by the wild enthusiasm
over Detroit's ball club.
People in Detroit are so hoped up
over the Tigers" Ed reports, some of
'em have given up work, or quit trying
to get it. Work interferes with base
ball talk"
Even Canada, says Ed, is hot for
the Tigers.

Bob was a big brother pal, a
friendship which. by the way, ended
in tragedy. It was Wilson who intro

GEORGE QUINTET SCORING WORK, DEFENSE, BEST
Team Statistics Reveal First Half Champion
 as Top Team

Although not the best team eith- CT offensively or defensively, the George Brothers team, which last week won the first half champion ship of the City Basketball League, deserves that first place position. A release Of team scoring statis- tics today indicated that fact.
 The Green Shirts rated second best in both offense and defense, a comparison of points scored by and points scored against, demon strates. Nevertheless, the compari- sons do not list another team that rates SO near the top in both fields. One team may be a stand out in either offense or defense, but the George Brother lineup, which lost but one start in six, was the best all-around club.
 The DeMolays, sparked by Lloyd Bayers, high individual scorer of the first half, copped best team scoring honors. The DeMolays, who finished in a tie for second place,

With needles racing and scissors flashing, the 20 or more members of the Juneau Woman'S Club, who gathered with Mrs. R. B. Lesher Tuesday afternoon for the Clubs annual "Mend-It" party, spent a busy two hours with the net result that a huge laundry basket was heaped high with colorful packages, each filled with gift for tu- bercular patient at the Govern ment Hospital. So lavish was the supply of toys and books that the committee was able to produce at least two lovely gifts for each lit- tie patient, and in addition to these, sufficient books were con- tributed to give reading matter to children of all ages for weeks to come.
 Tanks and tractors, trucks and trains, with a plentiful supply of dolls so that every little girl in the tubercular ward will receive one, dressed in brand new Christ mas finery, and mechanical toys destined to gladden. the hearts of those convalescent enough to run about made up the generous sup ply, but for children who are still bedridden, there were puzzles and games of all dascrintionS ae well as plenty of busy work to while away the tedious hours in bed.
 This was the fifth annual Mend It" party which the Club has held at Mrs. Lesher's home, prepara- tory to supplying the treat for tubercular patients. An unusually large number was present yester- day, however, and as fitting fi-

FAILS TO UPHOLD AP BID
 AGAINST RADIO
Bellingham Judge Refuses Right of News to Gath
 ering Az e ncy

SEATTLE, Dec. 20.-Acknowledg- ing evidence submitted which indi- cated that radio station KVOS of Bellingham, had "pirated'' news belonging to the Associated Press, Federal Judge John C. Bowen has refused to enjoin the station from making such use of dispatches published by newspapers.
 The court held that the Asso- ciated Press and it's member news papers have no property rights for any time whatever in news re- ports after they are published" Judge Bowen also dismissed a tenn porary order restraining station KVOS from using Associated Press dispatches taken from the Belling- ham Herald, Seattle Times, and Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 The court held that the station might pick up local news after the same had been distributed to the public in the regular manner. The court found the improved meth- ods" of disseminating news rmust not be discarded the same as ppri- vate enterprise unless such hinder- ance of public interest is required by positive law or a clear con- tract"
 Judge Bowen remarked that Con- gress must "abridge public inter- est in favor of private enterprise" before a finding could be made in favor of the defendant, but add ed that Congress has not seen fit to do so. He said the case might. be different if KVOS were selling news taken from Associated Press newspapers to other broadcasters.
 The Associated Press contended that the broadcasting of news en- hanced the value of advertising on the radio, because the public would listen in expectation of hearing news reports. The court said the station broadcasted news free of charge, whereas newspapers get paid for both subscriptions and ad- vertising. ,l
 Previous decisions in the United States Supreme Court have held the Associated Press and it's mem Der newspapers had exclusive right to the news for "A hours after pub lication. f-s 4,

PUGH FILES REPLY
IN RECOUNT PLEA
Demurrer Claims Law Fails
to Provide for Extra
TabuIatiOn.
BY a STAFF Correspondent o. The Star.

DS q old4 SOi 4CcpOA4NStAN ia = AN SNot'
ROCKVILLE, Nd, December IA
claim that Maryland laws make no
provision for recounting votes cast
In elections of States attorneys was
made in a demurrer which James H.
day in answer to the petition of WAL
ter w. Dawson for a recount Of the
recent Montgomery County States at
torney contest.
The law regarding elections Of
States attorneys. according to Pugh,
Democratic candidate, who defeated
Dawson, a Fusion party nominee, by
46 votes, merely requires that the
outcome of the election be certified
by the Board of CanvasserS to the
Judge or judges of the Circuit Court
embracing the county effected by Cle
election.
Petition Assailed in Law.
The court then passes upon the
qualifications of the successful candi-
date, Pugh told newspaper men. He
said that the law makes no provl-
sion for recounts even in the event
of tie, but leaves it to the court
to decide which candidate shall re-
ceive the position.
1t was further charged in the de-
murrer that the petition OF Dawson
is bad in substance and insufficient
in law" and also claims that the
charges of irregularities in the cleo
ton made in the petition are too
vague, too general and too indefinite"
to authorize or warrant the. relief"
which Dawson seeks.
No Effort at Delay.
1t further asserts that the petition
fails to state a case.
The demurrer, filed for Pugh by
his attorney, Isaac Loeb Strauss, OF
Baltimore, was accompanied by an
affidavit signed by Pugh to the ef-
feet that the demurrer was not filed
or entered in an effort to delay the
proceedings.
Judge Hammond Urner is expected
to set date for the hearing on
Pugh's demurrer, as well as those
filed by the defendants in the two
other contested election pending cases,
within the next few days.
