DarneII's Find ACS Not Easy Pushover in Game
 at Douglas Last Night
SCORES LAST NIGHT Mikes 31; Douglas High 23 Darnells 43; ACS 32

Mikes Night Owls are probably hoping that they never have to play another league game without Bonnett, whose absence at Doug las last night took away the win ming punch part of their team and made it a hard job for them to win over Douglas High School, 31-23.
 The first half of the game was safely the property of the Night Owls; but the second half, with no substitute to replace tired play CTS, saw Douglas High only six points from a tie score.
 The game began slow, with only halting action in the first period Only basket for the High School was made by Sey, and Russo sank a pair of goals for Mikes to set the score at to ?.
 In the second. Mccormick made another single field goal tally for Douglas. Mikes were getting into form, and each man on the squad except Jim Devon sank zeal, with an extra one by Pusich for 10 quarter points.
 Douglas Hi Spurts
 With the half-time score at 14 to 4, the Douglas High team did not consider themselves hopelessly behind, and they started out the second half of the contest with a spirit that carried them within reach of a tie and possible chance of victory
 Mccormick got three field goals, Rice pair; and with Bonnett's foul shot they were within six points of the Mikes, who had been against the determined High School onslaught.
 Apparently the Night Owls hadn't considered Douglas such a threat and had played during the first for what they considered a safe lead. It wasn't safe, as the High School boys proved. With the third period score at 21 to IS, the Mikes went all out in the final quarter to cinch their game.
 Even so it was not easy, and their lead was increased by only two points. A basket by Jim De- von. another by his brother Bill, pair and free toss by Asp with an added free point by Russo made tke Night Owls final score read 31.
 Rice who sunk pair in the third quarter. was tfe only man on the Douglas team who didn't make two points in the final per iod. Bonnett's were both free throws, and the other three were made tEe hard way, to bring their score at the end of the game to 23.
 Douglas High attempted nine foul shots, made three; the Mikes tried for 10 and made three. There were nine fouls called against the Night Owls, and eight against the A)od6 ioo LAooos IaoP OA biiC A't2iiI Owls and Mccormick of the High School tied for scoring honors with 10 points apiece.
 ACS No Pushover
 Darnells won tteir game against the ACS, hut it wasn't any push over. due largely to the efforts of Tucker and Uher of the Army squad.
 The first period ACS took the lead and held it until just before the quarter horn, when Bach tip ped rebound free throw into the bucket for pair of points that put the score in favor of Darnells, eight to seven.
 The second period saw Darnells men out to build themselves a lead before half time Bach and Hickey

NEW YORK, Jan 23.-When a baseball club can afford to pay bonus like Bobby Feller's $30,000 or so if attendance goes over one mil lien, we wonder why some smart club owner doesn't apply the same idea to his whole squad. He could tell them, boys, I'll take what the first million customers tor whatever number he likes) bring in at the game and you can whack up the rest. The drawing cards would get the biggest share, oi course. but even the prospect Of earning a few extra bucks might he an incentive for all the players to hustle
