CATHOLIC HIGH ” DEFEATS BERNE Win Tenth Straight Game. Score 26*18; I).C. U.S. Girls Defeated Catholic high scluxd's green eltul <agors continued Ihi'lr winning streak hist night by downing ihe Borno high quintet at Borne, by a score of 26 to 18. This was the tenth straight victory for Catholic high. Coach Confer started w a second string lineup last night and did not put his regulars into the contest until the last nine minntee, in an effort to save the varsity for the game with Central Catholic of Fort Wayne at Fort Wayne tonight. The Herne coach also started his second stringer anti kept his regulars out for several minutes in order to save them for the county tournament here today. However. he began substituting his first stringers before the first half was over and the entire first team played the last fifteen or eighteen minutes. He used eighteen players in the game. The Catholic seconds succeeded in holding a scant lead during the time they were in the game. The first half ended 11 to 9 in favor of the Green clad eagers and they wore ahead 11 to 1.1 when the varsity entered the fray. Both teams played good basketball during the last five minutes. The Catholic high school girls were .defeated by the Berne girls in the preliminary game by a score of 37 to 16. The Berne girls had much the better of the argument throughout the contest. I i A large crowd of fans is planning: to accompany the team to Fort Wayne [ this evening. The game with C. C | H. S. is probably the most important , on the locals’ schedule, since much ' depends on the outcome of this con-‘ test as to which of the two teams will represent, this part of the state in the National Catholic tournament at I Chicago next spring.

0 YELLOW JACKETS WIN CAME, 34’20 Locals Break Losing Streak In Game With Columbia City Cagers Decatur high school's Yellow .Jackets broke their losing streak last night and” trounced the Columbia City cagers at the high school gym by a score of 34 to 20. The victory which was the first in the last four games, was a clean-cut win for Coach Kennedy’s cagers, who led throughout the game. The local mentor used a total of twelve different players in the game and every combination proved to be effective. While the. Yellow Jackets were beating their opponents, the high school ratting section displayed ti wonderful rejuvenation. The end balcony was nearly filled with high school pupils who rooted and sang until they were hoarse. The Yellow Jackets got away to an early lead when Beal caged a pretty field goal. Captain Miller and Andrews boosted the score to 6-0 with field goals and Andrews made it 8-0 by caging two free throws. The locals continued to outplay their opponents throughout the half which ended, 16 to 9. Swearinger substituted for Strickler during the first half. Andrews started the second hall by scoring a field goal on the tip off play, and then counting a tree throw on Oman's foul. Leonard substituted for Beal. Andrews scored two more field goals and Miller caged one

The Yellow Jackets came through with a nice , win over Columbia City last night ! and the rooters came to life with a i bang and put all kinds of pop into I the game. It sure was great to sit l on the sidelines last, night, see the Yellow Jackets winning and hear scores of high school pupils in the end balcony literally yelling themselves hoarse. The rooting was almost all that could be expected last night and we congratulate the pupils on their efforts. If they continue to show that spirit D. H. S. athletics are bound to progress.

Every swipe of the painter's brush will be counted, as paint is daubed on Ihi hulls. For the first time in at least the modern history of the world, a race will be staged which every competitor will he on an equal material footing when they face the starter. The human equation will he the only margin of difference. It will be a difference in driving skill, nerve [and daring. Experience won't count because none of t*he drivers will ever have tromped on the accelerator of a water boat before the Biscayne Bay Regatta. The drivers will be selected from among the stars who have competed in the International 500-niile races held over the historic course of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Th choice of drivers will soon be made by officials and immediately announced. o--Wild Man From Borneo Was Milwaukee Plumber By G. E. Helfert, , (I'. P. Staff Correspondent) Milwaukee, Wis. —Back in the days of bars with free lunches, ten cent shaves and cheap rents, it was quite the fashion to gaze agog at the famous "wild man of Borneo.” From sophisticated Broadway to Frisco’s Barbary coast, the "wild man" paced his cage while the multitudes surged before it, looked upon his hairy body and ugly face. A shrewed Milwaukee showman became wealthy on the dimes that poured into his coffers for the sake of a thrill. Jacob Litt —for that was the showman’s name—must have laughed a hearty laugh during the years he exit bited his “wild” man from the wilds” and the genius for whom he accumulated a fortune have departed this earth, it develops that the muchgazed at freak was none other than a Milwaukee plumber. A former employer of tue “ferocious, man-eating semi-human, captured in the wilds of the jungles of Borneo after weeks of chase and a i battle with ten men which lasted for hours,” exposed the story which he has guarded se closely so many years. Sam Meyers, local hotel manager, ■ j tells the story. “Years ago, when Jake Litt was lo- • >

rated in Milwaukee, i took a contract for putting a connection in bi-. 'dime munenm "My men were doing nome work under the muitenm It was a hot d-O and one of my men, a big burly Slav, tripped to the walm a-, he dur, i,wav with Pi'k and shovel. Each iim„ he Illi the ground with his pick he let mH a I'.utieral sound a grunl. "Jalie happened to go into the basement ami Immediately became interested in the appearance of the Slav and the noises he made. He was particularly itnerestod in the thick curly , hair that grew all over the mans body and asked him to come upstairs. “Through an interpreter Litt learn ed that the man was earning $9 a week and immediately offered him s2j a week without labor. “The job was accepted and before the week was over the ferocious wild man' was established in a huge Iron cage with his legs chained to Iron balls. "The fact that hundreds of persons ' peered into the cage each day, made < him nervous and the more nervous ho became, the more ferocious he looked. "The freak proved such an attraction in Utt’s museum that he eventually was exhibited from coast to coast." Those who knew Litt best say that !it was this famous freak that laid I the foundation for the fortune which ho amassed in the show business, he ' having been rated a multi-millionaire ■ at the time, of his death in New York . | City a few years ago. | Bad Milk Kills Many Babies In Argentine 1 Buonos Aires. Argentine—Half a million babies have died in Argon- [ tine during the last docade before they reached the age of two years, according to a report by the Ministry of Agriculture. It ascribes the unusually high death rate to the lack | of sufficient milk and adulteration of' the milk sold. It is pointed out that while the cattle industry is the chief j ( business of the Argentine, most of the cattle are slaughtered for expor- j tai ion which has resulted in a serious milk shortage. 1 The ministry recommended that the I municipalities exercise control over I milk distributors to insure pure milk. I A newspaper, editorially points out II that a child dies in the country, with I a population of loss than 10,000,000 I every 12 minu .st o-polnrtea?tiomil ! every 12 minutes. '
