Leaders in City Basket Ball League Experience Defeat at Hands of j Young School Players. j - i From Friday's Dally Last evening the games in the city basket ball league attracted quite a good sized crowd that wit nessed the defeat of the Elks, lead- j ers. in the league race, by the High I School Reserves, composed of the lower classmen ot the scnooi. ny tne score of 29 to 2D, in a very exciting battle which was desperately fought to the last second of play by both teams. The Reserves by their speed and quickness were able to get away with the game from their more ex- ; prienced opponets and as a result are in a fair way to contend for the lead- ; ership of the league. i The game between the Morgan's and the Eagles resulted in a top heavy victory for the Morgan team by the score cf 40 to 5. The Eagles , secured their tallies' through the ; persistent work of Vic Kirvanc!;, the center, who was able to annex two field goals and saved the teah from a shutout. Vic, however, suffered a . great loss of hide in his handling by his opponents and bears the mark of the grueling battle in which he was a factor. The speed with which the Re serves are cleaning up on the other teams in the league makes the race very interesting and the forthcoming games will be watched with interest by the followers of the game.

A number of the families residing or west Main street have been com plaining lately of the practices of a gang of small boys whom it seems nave formed the heliit ot staging small sized fights and riots while on their way homeward in the evenings. The residents along the rtreet do not complain so much of the fighting among the hoys but the fact tli.'it they gfnerallv make their battle ground on the porches and walks of th1 residents is the source of the an noyitnee. Their language alo is not that which might be expected from the coming generation of young peo ple and as described by one of the long suffering residents, whose place ha boen the scene of several of th battles, it would put to ihaiii" the viw-nl efforts of the most degraded inhabitant of the water fronts of a seaport and the cursing is generally deliveri'd with force enough to be heard for several blocks. The police arc looking the matter up and other developments may be expected if the practice is continued. DISCUSS THE OPEN SHOP.
