Dugan in this city, und with her sister, Mrs. Pierre Goodrich and family In Indianapolis. Mrs. W. A. Lower Is able to be out, following an extended selge of cold and gtippe. Mrs. Lower was confined to her bed over the Christmas holiday*. Sheriff Harl Hollingsworth went to Andetson, today, after his Ihipmoblle which has been laid up for repairs in an Anderson garage since last Satur- , day. As She: iff and Mrs. • Hollingsworth were returning from a trip to Pendelton, last Saturday, they attempted to make a left hand turn in Anderson, when their ear skidded on the icy pavement, and crashed into the curb, breaking a rear wheel. Gerald Cole and Paul Sauer motored to South Bend, today, to attend ■ the convention of Spartan radio dealers. which is being held at the Oliver Hotel in that city. They expect to return Saturday morning. J. E. Trescott, ofiicial reporter for the present class of the Repport Auction School, is the first meftiber of the class to place an order for stationery with the Decatur Democrat company. The stationery will bear Mr. Trescott’s picture and business letters written on the stationery will be mailed to a select list of parties while Mr. Trescott is in Decatur. o —-— Gene Tunney Has Date To Play Golf With Tex New York, Jan. 6. — (UP)—“Tex" Rickard, the champion boxing promoter, is a mistake when it comes to picking amateur tighter* — tuke it from Babe Ruth. The “Kink of Swatt" is hunting for Rickard with a bill of $1.90, the result of wagers* on the eight amateur bouts at the dinner of champions Wednesday night. , Ruth picked five winners in a row 1 and when a pair of heavies appeared, | Rickard brightened up and bet the ? Babe $1.90 to ten cents. The Rick- I ard selection went well but the Ruth J favorite got started and mauled the 1 Rickard man all over the ring. Babe Ruth Wins Bet From Tex Rickard On Heavyweight Fight | New Yoik, Jan. 6.— (UP) —Gene Tunney and Tex Rickard have a date to play golf together In' Miami, Fla., next week, which seems to be a definite answer to the so-called trouble between the champion and the promoter, Tunney has been saying a lot of things about Rickard but it seems that Gene just wants to keep the ' world from forgetting just who is ' heavyweight champion. - o Two Hoosier Athletes On Northwestern Squad Evanston, 111., Jan. 6.—Two Indiana youths. Russel "Rut” Walter of Kokomo and Ralph Mehler of Gary are members of the Northwestern university basketball squad which is expected to make a strong showing in the Big Ten this season. The purple opens the season against the formidable Michigan five here Saturday night. Both of the above named boys have been flaying a creditable game in practice contests this winter and should be strong cogs in the team during future games. Walter, especially, has demonstrated unusual ability at the center position which he is playing regularly. The prowess which enabled him to win the Allstate center berth while playing with Kokomo seems to be standing up in good stead in the Big Ten.

Boyle and Flaherty featured the play of the Cincinnati quintet, tlie former getting five buckets, and two free throws. Each team scored nine times from the field, Elder's three-point advantage feeing gained from the free throw line.

UPP | i, Reports from Cincinnati today say the Commodores played a great game last night, in spite of the fact they lost to the Elder higli quintet. Elder has not lost a game this season. Hocky Mylott called Joe I.ose here last night to give a report of the game and Joe understood the Commodores star to say Decatur bad won, conse-' quently, when the Daily Democrat received its special report and box score of the game this morning, showing the score to be 22-19 in favor of Elder, there was much surprise and disappointment. However, the Daily Democrat checked up on the score with the Cincinnati Post this morning and found the score to be correct. Coach Zeke Young and his Auburn netters jfey their annual visit to Decatur tonight. Local fans haven't forgotten Aubuin’s visit to this city last season, when the upstaters ended the Yellqw Jacket's season by handing them a 27-24 defeat, after Decatur had won the game played at Auburn, 2119. A battle is in prospect for tonight. Roy Anadell, Yellow Jacket floor guard, is suffering from a boil on one leg and it was uncertain today whether he would be aide to get Into the game tonight. Buck Picks Decatur “Auburn plays at Decatur Friday night. That looks like a battle is in prospect. Our guess is that the Yellow Jackets triumph by 8 points. Now you guess.”—Out of Bounds, Bluffton Banner. Here’s hoping North Side gives South Side as hard a battle tonight as Auburn gives Decatur. We want to see the Yellow Jackets and South Side enter their game tomorrow night on equal terms. Hey! Hey! Mary "Our editor says that when we go around complaining about not being able to find the Bedford Mail, it ain’t the Bedford Mail we’re looking for at all; no, no, it’s the Bedford Female.— —The Sport Vane, Newcastle Times. For the information of the uniformed, a young lady named Mary Beth, is conductor of the basketball column in the Bedford Mail. The Commodores play Richmond Catholic high at Richmond tonight and they will have another tough battle. Monroe and Geneva play in Decatur high's gym tomorrow night. Jefferson high has two games this week-end. Tonight, Jeff plays Monmouth at Berne, and tomorrow night, they play Washington township high school, from Mercer county, Ohio, also I at Berne.

ford seconds at Berne tonight, also Coach Windmiller of Hartford Is endeavoring to get a game for his Gorillas for Saturday night, also to lie played at Berne. The Gorillas have an open date on their schedule this week-end. More Kirkland Pep “Dear Murk M. I'pp: Union (’enter comes to Kirkland Friday night. They stand second in the Wells county basketball circles. To date, they have defeated Bluffton at Bluffton, Petroleum at Petroleum and Rockcreek at Rockcreek. The Kirkland team is determined to give Union 40 minutes of real old fashioned Kirkland fight. The second team is also coming along. This game will boa real one as the young Kangaroos have been setting a fast pace this season. "A. K. H. S. Fan. ” P. S.—Score of big game, Kirkland 35; Union 29. The Kirkland squad lost one of its members this week, when Pete Gerber floor guard, withdrew from Kirkland and enrolled in Bluffton high school. Pete, who is a sophomore this year, lives in Adams county near the Wellscounty line and is located about halfway between Bluffton and Kirkland high school. His brother. Jack, attended Bluffton high school and was a star athlete there for four years. Jack has been "working on” his brother for some time in an effort to get him to switch to Bluffton high and at last succeeded. Pete is a well-built athlete and looks like a comer. He will not be eligible for competition at Bluffton until next fall. Although he has been playing regular on the Kirkland team, the Kangaroos will not lie seriously weakened by his loss, as Coach Bryan still has two mighty good guards !n Heller and Peck Arnold.
