The outfielder, voted the National
leagues most valuable player in

They're not going to let 100000

Emotional Welfare
Now the official body has decid'
Cd that further play this season
will be harmful to basketball IN
Dublin, county and to the emotion
nj and physical welfare of players
concerned" and no more games
will be played.
We don't know about the harm

brothers, but we bet you protected
the emotional welfare very much.
Sometimes, you know, emotions
run away with themselves, espe'
cially where championships are at
stake.
Officers and Tickets
Whenever anyone in Wilmington
and New Hanover county wants to
stage an athletic event, or any
kind of event for that matter, they
usually call on the police officers
Of the city and county to see that
the affair goes over by selling the
tickets.
And for selling tickets, a police.
man can't be beat. The usual idea
of those approached, you know,
is "Td rather buy one than get
one."
But the Officers Fellowship club,
whose hospitality 1 enjoyed at
barbecue last night, has assured
the success of more than one event
in Wilmington this year by taking
on the responsibility of selling the
tickets. The members go out of the
way to render a service that Is
very worthwhile to the community
and for that we offer our COM
mendations.

Preuatt Is Candidate
For The Citadel Eleven

CHARLESTON, S. c., March 6.
Cadet ]. D. Prevatt, of Sunset
Park, is out for spring football
practice at The Citadel, working
under the new coach, Bo Rowland,
who came here from Cornell.
Rowland's system includes the
use of moving pictures of games
and practice sessions. Through
these he hopes to give individual
instruction and attention to each
member of the squad SO as to fur.
ther develop their abilities. The
team will use the wingback and

number of spectators and schools
put quintet on the floor now, and
Boston college will follow suit as
soon as it has a gym. Other New
England schools to take up basket
ball recently are Maine, Bates, Col.
by and Assumption college-and the
Maine colleges have been playing to
packed houses all this year.
Possibly the next most important
growth of the game has come in
the southwest. The tip-off that bas.
ketball has finally reached an un.
questioned status there are those
crowds of 1000 that filled the
beautiful new Texas university
fieldhouse all season.
AS for the game itself, one doui.
nant note sounds through the SYM
phony of excitement that sur.
rounds the game. That is the trend
toward less speed.
From the south, the east and mid.
west, and in fact every section save
the Pacific northwest comes word
that the "fire and fall back" brigade
is giving way to the more carefully
planned offensive type of game and
that no longer can sheer speed be
counted the controlling factor in
teams success.
A modified fast breaking attack,
with carefully planned set plays is
the accepted mode of offense. And
with that will come a trend bv the
defense to check men all over the
floor, rather than wait for the Of
fensive team to cross the center
line.

held scoreless for two quarters.
The Atkinson stalwarts drew blanks
in the first and third quarters, and
were greatly outclassed by a power
full and speedy opponent. Rouse,
of Rosehill, led the scoring with II
points.
The scoring was pretty slow in
this game, partly due to good de-
fense and partly due to poor shoot
ing. The tilt ended: Elizabethtown

up ElizabethtoWn way grabbed a
slim lead early in the first quarter
and clung to it throughout. And
with this, the boys bid farewell to
the Y court until today. This was
the second of two games played to
decide the teams who should enter
the preliminary brackets in the
boys division.

Divorce Pleads
With Governor to
Decide Her Name
Wants to Marry Again and
Finds Two Names Are
Embarrassing.

HOLLYWOOD.-Nancy Pierson
Brooks Macy Brill, who says she is
known by two names in two states
and finds it Observation-Disclosures
the help of Governor gilbert L. o.
son to settle things so she can marry
again.
For two years she said she has
been known in California as Mrs.
Macy and as Mrs Brill in Nevada
and elsewhere. So she is asking
Governor Olson for help in deter
mining to whom she is married and
what her legal name is. She has
petitioned for action on an appeal
from the annulnent which William
Hunsaker Brill III, wealthy young
sportsman, obtained of their Yuma
marriage nearly two years ago. The
appeal has been in the courts for
more than 10 months.
She Got a Divorce.
Mrs. Brill in 1884 married Henry
Macy III, scion of the New York
department store family. The fol-
lowing year she went to Reno, New,
established residence and obtained
a divorce from Macy who did not
contest the decree, but who had an
attorney present to insure its valid
ity.
In March, 1887, after a whirlwind
courtship, Mrs Brill married Brill.
Shortly after the marriage Brill
filed suit for annulnnent of the mar
riage on the dual grounds that he
was intoxicated at the time the
ceremony was performed and that
Mrs. Brill's divorce from her pre-
vious husband was invalid.
Judge Edward Henderson, after
having the case under advisement
for several months, granted Brill the
annulment on the grounds that Mrs.
Brill had not been bona fide resi-
dent of Nevada at the time she di-
vorced Macy.
Court Takes No Action.
Mrs. Brill said her attorneys then
filed an appeal with the state ST.
preme court challenging the right of
a California judge to rule on the
validity of her Reno divorce. Mrs.
Brill continued:
There has been no action on nv
case since then, and I want to
know who l am.
ut is very embarrassing and hui
initiating not to know my own name,
Some people call me Mrs. Macy and
others call me Mrs. Brill and don't
know which name to use or how
to get out of this difficulty"

Ike Jordan, her secret hero, walk

Miss Jack wrote the name of Ike
Jordan four times on the letter be-

threw the defaced letter on a shelf,
where it slipped through a crevice

Vegetable Growers
Seek 5b-Hour Week
Ask Freight Cuts

HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. II. (UP)-
The nations fresh fruit and veget-
able men began their Seth annual
convention today, advocating for
their industry a 56-hour work week
and lower freight rates to offset
truck hauling to major markets.
M. c. Cohodas of Appleton, Wis,
president of the United Fresh Fruit
and Vegetable association, said that
marketing, the wagc-hour law and
freight rates would be the principal
topics.
Consumption of fresh fruits and
vegetables does not keep pace with
production, Cohodas said, and this
constitutes one of the induStry'S
greatest problems.
Farm machinery has increased
oduction and created SurpluSes
- fruits and vegetables, which must
be consumed if the industry re-
fleets the general prosperity re-
ported throughout the country, he
said.
"At this convention, we plan to
ddNOIdb' al NOlIlPi SlICiioiNt lidIlOIidi
advertising campaign designed to
boost consumption above present
levels" Cohodas said. Every effort
will be made to solve this problem
which we consider foremost today"
The convention will discuss am
endmentS to the wage-hour law
and support of Barden bill before
congress, which provides for a So
hour work week in the fruit and
vegetable industry, he said.
The nature Of our business which
demands immediate shipment of
our products, makes it almost i'm
possible for the application of
hours such as now exist under the
present law. We ask that an ex-
tended work week be applied to all
