Bluffton Cagers Will Play Lima St.
Johns Wednesday In Class b Tourney

Button Highs hopes of continuing
in Ada Glass B tournament running
will come at T p. m. this Wednes-
day when the Pirates tangle with
Lima st. Johns in the Ohio Northern
gymnasium.
Altho the Crimson outfit lost Mon
day night to Hicksville, 3s to 81, the
double elimination feature of this
years tournament gives them an OPP
portunity to qualify as one of the
representatives in the Sectional meet
should they go thru the rest of their
games undefeated.
Lima st. Johns will be a worthy
opponent, but the Johnnies are not
expected to be in the same class with
the Hicksville crew that barely man.
aged to edge the locals in the opening
round of the tourney.
Pre-game dope favors the Lima
crew on the basis of an early-season
win scored over Bluffton, but the
Pirates were not at full strength for
the contest and there are good hopes
they may come thru with a victory
Wednesday night.
Bluffton was slow in starting
against Hicksville, trailing at one

Wapakoneta's League Leading Five
Defeats Bluffton By 1922 Score

Wapakoneta protected its un-
blemished record in Western Buck
eye league play last Friday night
with a 80 to % victory over Bluffton
High cagers on the Bluffton floor.
The Indians led all the way in the
contest, but looked their best in the
third period when they racked up 13
points while the Pirates were making
but five.
Score by quarters Were S-3; 16-9,
and 29-14, and in racking up their
38-point total the visitors made Is
field goals and eight free throws.
Cozad, Wapakoneta center, who
Tailed IT points, scored seven field
goals-one more than the entire
Bluffton team could get in the four
quarters of play. Urich, star for
ward of the visitors, scored 13 points
on five fielders and three free throws.

to outscore their foes for the remain
der of the game.
In the third quarter the Pirates
racked up 10 points while Hicksville
was getting only five, and the Bur-
ckymen tailed nine more in the last
stanza with their foes scoring eight.
With less than two minutes to play
Hicksville led by only three points,
36 to 33, but the winners picked up
one point more of an advantage by
the time the game ended.
Buttons tournament hopes still
are alive, however, for the double
elimination feature permits them to
remain in the running as one of the
possible representatives in the sec
tional tournament should they win
the remainder of their contests. 5.
Their next start will be against Lima
st. Johns at Z p. NJ. this Wednesday.
st. Johns was edged by Ada in an
overtime Monday night, and in meet
ing Bluffton Wednesday will be at
tempting to repeat an early-season
victory over the Pirates.
Bluffton's unsuccessful record in
the Western Buckeye league this
year, with no games won against
their foes, has again focused atten-
tion on the fact that as the only
Class B school in the league the Pi-
rates play against some of the finest
Class A teams in this area. Bluff
ton has an enrolment of only 101
boys in the four upper grades, while
the other league schools all have boy
enrolment in excess of $50, the divid-
ing mark between Class A and Class
B schools. . Buttons enrolment
never has reached the l50-mark, al
tho it used to be considerably higher
than now-before the schools enroll
ment in the upper classes started a
downward trend about six years ago.
Three other schools in the county
that play Class B schedules now have
greater total enrolment than Bluff
ton, it was pointed out. These
are Lima Shawnee, Lafayette and
Delphos Jefferson.

Sportsmen's Club Names Directors
To Manage Activity For Year


A. E. Kohl, President of the
Buffton Community Sportsmeh's
Club, announces an action program
for this year is we'll under way.
Stress will be made this year on
stream development with plans for
several low level dams to be con-
structed in upper Riley beyond the
railroad bridge.
More emphasis will be made on re-
stocking in general and pheasants
will be restocked by several methods.
Plans are under way to purchase full
grown pheasant hens to be released
early this spring before nesting sea
son. The chick rearing program will
get under way later in the spring.
If pheasant chicks are not raised as
unit this season with a manager
IN charge, then cages will be farmed
out to interested individuals as in
previous years.
The raccoon department has big
plans afoot. Not only will coon be
purchased as in previous years, but
rearing pens and cages will be con-
structed also to harbor animals pur-
chased during the hunting and trap
ping season; 81 for live males and
$1.50 for live females will be paid
above market value of the furs.
With the membership of the club
well over the 1000 mark and a good
share of members interested in fish
ing, large sum has been earmarked
for fish restocking. Jess Manages, in
charge of fish management says that
4 truck loads of fish are on order for
delivery this spring. The order calls
for three loads of mixed crappies,
perch, rock bass and pickerel and a
load of channel cat fish Each load
will approximate 5000 fish, all of
large size.
An effective tree planting program
will be maintained this spring and
ten persons have already applied for
free red pine seedlings offered by
the Conservation Department.
The development program at the
Buckeye quarry will be continued
with additional recreational facilities
added to the new Memorial Park.

S1,000,00O Needed For Ohio Wildlife
Aid Says Director

H. A. (Buck) Rider, Ohio's new
conservation commissioner, called for
an annual state appropriation of
S1,000,000 for wildlife RI storation,
without any increase in the cost of
hunting and fishing licenses.
Fees from hunting and fishing
licenses now are earmarked for use
only to restore and conserve Ohio
wildlife, he explained.
Rider said figures showed 100000
900 spent yearly in the nation for
outdoor recreation.
Il firmly feel that if the people of
Ohio and their elected representatives
only realized the Importance of the
natural resourse of wildlife, and the
part that fish and games plays in in
dividual gains, that in years to come
many millions of the general revenue
fund would be used to finance a
greater program of fish and game re-
storation and conservation.

John Parker, 48, of 60 Abbott Ave- nue. president of the Silverleaf So- clal Club of 59 Abbott Avenue, was fined SIS when arraigned before Judge John L. Gaffney in City Court this morning on a charge of keeping liquor with intent to sell.
 Detective Joseph Mccarthy, who, with Detectives James Stack and George McElligott, arrested the ac- cused May Il, said when the three officers entered the Abbott Avenue establishment that night they found seven or eight men on the premises and two full cases of beer. Detec- tive Mccarthy said there were four other empty cases of beer found on the premises as well as several emp ty and partly filled whiskey bottles.
 Parker told the Court the club was started last year in order to have place for our people to get together. They have no other place to go." He said the club had ap- piled for charter and in anticipa- ton of the granting of it, members had ''chipped in" and bought the beer to drink the next day, Mothers Day, in celebration.
 The whiskey bottles, he explained, were being collected from various places by one of the members for sale elsewhere as rubbish. He said the man apparently failed to take the bottles away when he was sup posed to have done SO.
 Questioning brought out the story from Parker and the treasurer of the club, that over $700 hda been collected in dues since the club be- gan. Prosecuting Attorney Stephen Homick, tried to show that the money had not been collected as dues, but rather for the sale of h- quor.
 The Court was told that when drinking on the premises was in or der, collection of 50-cents was talk en from each member and someone went out to buy the liquor or beer, as the case may have been. At no time, said Parker, was beer or liquor sold on the premises. He said that members occasionally congregated there in the afternons and drank as they listened to the baseball games on the radio. The drink on these occasions, he said, was either bought by the members before they came in or was bought after a col- lection had been made.
 The case was appealed to Con- mon Pleas Court.

 The railroad reported today that soon after the end of the strike, every train was on it's scheduled run and that weekend travel was bit lighter than usual. Either trips had been cancelled or travel had arranged other means of transport ation.
