NEW YORK, April 3.-On an
idle day some As years ago,
young Jim Naismith got hold Of
an idea and an empty peach
basket at the same time and the
game Of basketball was born.
Tonight Dr.. James A. Naismith,
74-year-old professor of physical
education at the University of
Kansas, will be in olson
Square Garden to watch his
brain child exempIfied by the
best eight teams in the United
States.
For six hours the Garden will
be q bedlam Of basketball as
these great quintets battle
through the semifinalS for the
right to represent Uncle Sam at
the Olympic games in Berlin.
These eight teams have been
selected after a series Of elirnina-
tons covering every part Of the
country. They are the cream Of the
crop. And what a crop! The good
doctor says he never dreamed the
game he invented 50 casually
would grow into such a major
sport with hundreds Of thousands
playing and millions watching.

Brewers, who dealt Grand Central
Valet q singing blow last night by
defeating the Valetmen two games
that dropped them to second place,
after entering the nights matches
in front on pinfall.
With Bill KrausS' season record
game Of 1870 leading the charge,
the title defending Credentials ran
up Q score Of 706 for the high
team count Of the campaign. After
this splurge the Fred Buchholz
entry barely managed to exc out
its three wins from the Hallmen.
Joe Freschi was sailing on top
again today in the high-average
battle with Joe Harrison, having
shot $50 to 339, which gives him
a mark Of 1915 and q lead Of
80 pins.
Brewers Score
Shooting games Of STA, GAL, the
Brewers fairly swamped the Grand
Centrals in the first two tuSSleS
and only whirlwind finish gave
the Valetmen the last game. The
Brewers team set Of 1897 was their
highest Of the season.
Incidentally, Krauss whopper is
two sticks better than the mark
held from early season by Joe Har-
rison. The Occidental team record
tops Arcadia's 688.

bout 200 took republican. Most of
the radicals did not vote in the
primaries. There are about $500
names on the registration lists.
On the democratic county ticket
there were but two contested NOM
nations: for the office of clerk &
recorder and for the office of sher-
iff. All of the rest of the candi
dates were without opposition.
For the office of clerk and rec
order, treasurer and assessor, G..
p. Christensen defeated Niels
Madsen, the present Incumbent,
who has held that office since 1922.
Christensen received III votes to
500 for Niels Madsen. and BOG for
Robert Wheeler, giving Christ
ensen a plurality of PIP votes.
However Christensen is a minority
candidate as he did not get a ma
majority. Madsen and Wheeler
together received 865 votes again
st Christensen's TIL or 81 less
than the combined vote.
Christensen was the Polk pick
ed candidate to begin with, but
because of the row raised by Niels
Madsen, and the beans he threat
ened to spill, the Polk Olson Hun
ter machine, panic stricken, swung
to Madsen the last ten days of
the campaign, but while the tide
by heroic effort had been turned a
gain towards Neils, the time was
too short after the Polk machine
went into reverse to undo the re-
suits of the secret whispering cam
campaign carried on by it for the
past several months, and so Neils
was laid away by the voters.
But the defeat of Madsen was
the surprise of the primaries.
While Madsen had been in office
for a long time and hordes of the
voters were expressing the senti-
ment that most of the present
office holders had been in soft jobs
on big pay long enough and should
not be allowed to die there, yet
he had been the prize vote getter
of Sheridan county for all times,
and had always been able to hold
office regardless of the group in
power. In fact he was politically
very sensitive and could change
his political color like the famous
cameleon along with the chang
ing background and still garner

POLK PICKED TICKET
WINS in PRIMARIES

more votes than consistent party
candidates. So when the returns
disclosed that the mighty Neis had
fallen, the political wise-acre could
hardly believe it.
Of course tho the Polk machine
supported Neils in the later days
of the election campaign, Harry
Polk and A. J. Olson shed no
briany tears over NeiPs downfall,
regardless of any regret they may
express to Neils. In fact they are
joyful to get rid of him, if it be
done without Neils sharpening up
the old battle ak and taking after
them in the fall. Naturally they
will try to pacify him if they can.
But it may not be SO easy. In the
case of Christ, Neils could have
made him county treasurer deputy,
but the facts are such that Christ
can hardly do this for Neils, that
is if Christ is elected, so it looks
as If Neils would have to retire
and put in his application for an
old age pension. But still Neils
had friends among the old pioneers
and lots of them, and if they put
on the war bonnets, and get out
the old rusty tommyhawks and
take the war path for Harry
Folks scalp, it will more than
likely mean the political happy
hunting ground for Polk, Olson,
Hunter, and all the rest of the
Polk picked candidates. So Harry

Their Is warmer'n hell.
The other contest on the demo-
cratic ticket was for the office
of sheriff and surveyor. Hans
Madsen is running for his fifth
term. Tho Hans is catalogued as a
Polk picked candidate, and on the
surface, for policy's sake, Polk and
his cohorts supported him because
they did not dare to oppose him
at this time, yet it is whispered.
Polk planned to ditch him in the
finals and throw his support to
Paul Kurtz, had Kurtz been nom
mated as anticipated. and Law him
away as ne did Ed. Spoklie at the
last election. But the situation Is
all balled up by Kurtz's defeat.

Fort Peck, Mont.
July %, 1886.
Ex-farmers are rapidly being
made into class conscious indus
trial workers by the capitalist
policies of the government on the
Fort Peck Dam. There are over
10000 men working on the dam
now, and many of them are ex-
farmers or farm youth. The latter
are particularly numerous among
the 1000 single men in the bar
racks. Here the food is bad, bed
bugs abound, and double decker
cots wobble at the slightest move
ment. Three shifts in each bunk
house, so sleep is difficult. Worst
of all, it is compulsory if you want
to hold the job-and jobs are
scarce as hens teeth.
Lots of these farmers have prob
ably lived under worse conditions
before. But they mostly made the
mistake thinking it was their
fault. Here on the Fort Peck Dam
they see bad conditions which are
obviously due to grating and in
competence by the officials, and
especially to the capitalist attitude
of the administration of the dam.
For insance, the government is
making huge profits charging $35
a month for board and room, with
double decker cots and about the
same kitchen staff as in the win
ter. Men who were getting So on
relief want to know why it is cost
ing them $35 to live when govern
ment is on the receiving end.
Worst of all, it is compulsory.
Now, the funny thing is, all of
these men had bad conditions be-
fore, which were compulsory under
the capitalist system. But they thot
all they had to do was to work
harder and earn more. Now they
can watch it us system in which
the higher pay goes to the man
with pull. They see it is q system.
And being all together, they feel
their power. Men who are making
three or four times as much as
they ever earned before are becom-
ing mliitant-because they see they
produce that much and a lot more.
(It's going to be a good dam, even
though lots of times somebody
has to show the foremen howl

; They frequently have chance to
look at the mansions in which the
officials live, and they watch the
men with pull moving into better
paid jobs, while the men who do
the work are paid as "labor."
They are feeling their power,
being all together, and they are
turning the state upside down to
force the government to let them
live where they please. They had
a parade around the town, and so
they are beginning to get plenty of
publicity. But as soon as they held
meetings the police began to init
madate and the stool pigeons ran
around in circles. At the meetings,
courageously attended by small
nucleus which gradually builds it
self up into hundreds, police cir
culate taking the numbers or
"spotting" those who speak. These
are police hired directly 10y the

gain and again and still the in
timidation goes on. 1t has finally
been taken up with the President
by Murray and Monaghan, but still
it goes on. Men who hand out cir
cula1s are arrested. The man who
first suggested the parade at a
meeting was Swallowed, had his
name and number taken, and was
fired two days later, "Ineffiency."
Funny thing they didn't find it out
before. These things are proved by
affidavits which will be laid before
the LaFollette committee.
Do you wonder the ex-farmers
are becoming class conscious?

duals, and labor unions are asked

votes to VIM. Langlois' 348, to O..
J. Collins 213, and to Charley
Kings 1919, or a clean majority of
1876. But while this looks like a
very good showing, yet the facts
are that Hans is slipping and slip
ping fast. None Of the candidates
against Hans were personally
strong and none of them had any
organized support, while Hans had
the organized support of every
beer parlor, pool hall, and gambler
in the county, as well as the Polk
machine, luke warm as it was, and
the ardent and loyal support of
every banker and machine collector
operating in Sheridan county, in
return for his sympathetic service
in Selling machinery from farmers
without any process of law, and in
aiding and abetting mortgage
sharks in dispossessing farmers
from their farms and homes and
sending them down the road to re-
settlement farms. This organiza-
lied support the candidates against
him could not overcome. VIM.
Langlois made stronger race for
sheriff than expected, while Col
Inns and King 6ed not develop the
strength anticipated.

 License

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 14-UP)- State Motcr Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor today considered the possible revocation of the li- Cense of the Mercantile Detective Agency, Bridgeport, 8 motorist-pro- lection organization providing tow- ing, ball and legal services to meni- bers for $l5 6 year. The last session of the legislature gave the commits sioner authority over such agencies an done of the first steps of the department was to demand that clifford J. (Conny) Lewis, Bridge port, and Louis J. (Doc) Well, New ark, N. J., discontinue their identin- cation with the agency.
 On the understanding that Well and Lewis still were associated with the concern, Connors called hear ing for today to show cause why the license should not be withdrawn. He reserved decision.
 The agency formerly was known as the National Automobile company of Hartford. Under the present set- up, 1t wss undestood, William Rid- ding, Bridgeport, is the nominal head. and Israel Gordon. New Ha- ven, Q majority stockholder.
 Complaints from the Waterbury Chamber of Commerce were said to have resulted in today's hearing.
