Upp — - Two more games recorded on the tight side of the ledger for Decatur. —— The Commodores played good ball in running up a 48-16 score on Huntington Catholic high. Bill Gass, the sharpshooter, was home in bed sick with the flu, too. Pete Mylott did quite a bit of sniping dining Bill's absence, as the figure 10 in the field goal column opposite his name will indicate. The Garrett Boilermakers apparently entered their game with the Yellow Jackets last night with the sole idea of keeping the score down. For the first ten or twelve minutes, they held the ball in the back court most of the time and the score stood 3-2 in their favor. The Yellow Jackets then decided to start something and broke up the stall. At the half, the Cutismen were leading 10-5 and the second halt was not far gone before the score stood JO-5. Kirkland and Berne staged a merry battle at Berne last night, as was predicted.

Young Stribling Stops Smith In Third Round New Otleans. Jan. 26 —(UP) —Referee Jimmy Moran stopped the fight between Young Stribling of Georgia and Ralph Smith, Pacific coast giant, in the third round here last night after the Georgia flash had literally cut his opponent to pieces. Newspaper men agreed when Moran stopped the fight Smith was out on his feet, having been knocked down five times during the three rounds, three times for the count of nine. The fight was scheduled as a 10-round affair. Any doubt that existed in the minds of local fans that the Georgia college boy could fight was dissipated by his slashing and smashing battle last night which showed him complete master of a man with a preponderance weight advantage and towering above him bv six irjehes or more. Smith failed to land a telling blow throughout the fight. 'I o Sharkey Wins Decision Over K. O. Christner Madison Square Garden, New York, January 26 —(UP) —Jack Sharkey saved the proposed $500,000 fight at Miami Beach last night, by winning the verdict over K. O. Christner of Akron, but he did it by a narrow margin which left a record crowd in Madison Square garden complaining and dissatisfied with the decision. Sharkey now can go on to meet Young Strbling at the Florida resort, but there will alwas be some who figure that the Akron rubber puddler is fully as gcod a man as the big Lithuanian. ' Christner, figured as an awkward new comer ta.the ring carried the fight gamely to his more experienced opponent in the opening grounds, winning the first four. o Twentieth Century The First century comprised the years 1 to 11 inclusive; the Second century, the years 101 to 200 Inclusive, and so on to the Twentieth century, which is the period beginning with 1901 and extending to the year 2001. o Banish Fear To fear the foe, since fear oppresseth strength, gives in your weakness strength unto your foe.—Shakespeare o NOTICE I will be away from my office Sunday and Monday, January 27 and 28.

COMMODORES EASILY DEFEAT HUNTINGTON FIVE Pile Up Score Os 48*16; D. C. H. S. Alumni Defeat Huntington Alumni Decatur Catholic high school Commodores continued their much toward a state title by turning back St. Marys Catholic high school basketball teum of Huntington on the local hard wood last night by a score of 48-16. The local netters were without the services of Bill Gass, forward, who was suffering from an attack of influenza. The game started off like it was going to be a hot one and neither team managed to score for about five minutes. Finally Petie Mylott broke through for a field goal and a few minutes later he tossed another 2-poin-ter through the net. St. Marys called time out in an effort to stop the Decatur offensive machinery. The visitors rallied twice in the first half, but were never able to go into the lead. The score was 14-11 a second or two but the Commodores continued peppering the basket and the half time score was 20-12 in favor of Coach Laurent's aggregation. Huntington never threatened again and the Commodores scored at will during the final period. Coach Laurent substituted freely during the last half and gave most of his squad an opportunity to play. Wemhoff was sent off the floor about the middle of the second half by Referee Hyland and Petie Mylott advanced to center. The varisty reserves were able to hold the St. Marys threats at bay and they continued to run the score up. The final count was 48-16. In the cut tain-raiser, the Decatur Catholic high school alumni defeated tlie alumni netters of Huntington, 3133, after staging a great comeback in the last six minutes of the game. The score had been changing hands during the entire game until about the middle of the second half. Huntington forged ahead 21-31 and with six minutes left, Decatur made a strong effort to even the count. It looked like a nopeiess job, out witit ie.-ss L'uauSu Sevonds to go the score was tied at 31-all. Just as the time-keeper raised the gun to signifiy the end of the game, George Laurent slipped the ball thiough the net for a 2-point margin over the visitors. Huntington led at the half 15-12.

Announcing Substantial Reductions in the prices of the □ □□BE BR.DTHER.S SENIOR

WhE-N THE NEW Dodge Brothers Six was announced, at the beginning ot the new year, at prices so low as to overshadow any previous Dodge Brothers accomplishment, its universal public acceptance marked a new peak of popularity even for Dodge Brothers cars. Public recognition was quickly translated into an unprecedented sales volume with an attendant increase in manufacturing efficiency and economy which now favorably aflects its companion car—the Dodge Brothers Senior—and permits substantial reductions iu the prices of all Dodge Brothers Senior models. The new lower prices at which the Dodge Brothers Senior henceforth will be sold are directly traceable to the established Chrysler policy of giving the public im
