The final score was | ns in. The y me startl'd out slow and the Decatur playe*. appe __‘d lost! with the new lineup Several regulars were absent from the squad I and fora time Rockford had things well In control. The local tossers failed to show i any team work during the first stanza and were tra'ling at half time |l>-13. The score had been close throughout the half, with first one team leading and then! the other assuming the lead. in the second half the local team looked like veterans, and Hill and Strickler started hitting the net from all parts of the floor. The l G. E. eagers soon had a big lead j and several substitutes were given , an opportunity. Rockford appear- t ed to be worn down, and the local , eagers continued to bombard the i net until the game ended. . Lineup and summary: I G. E.

GREAT SHIRES ( EASY WINNER Buffalo, N. Y„ Dee 27.- (U.R) "Right now I'm a greater ball playi er than lighter, but I'll get around; I to the top notch nt this game, too," ! Aithtir (The Great I Shires said in. ' d scussing his one round ktioakout i of "Wild Bill’’ Bailey of Cleveland al (pieensbury, A. C., last night. The Chicago White Sox first I liasemun, who was making his first ring appearance In any city other than Chicago, flattened Bail l<\ hi one minute and 22 seconds , Hailey, whose boxing career has I been confined to meeting tenth , rate amali ltrs, showed little light ! utid was Hit easy v'etim. Shires tore out of his corner at I the bell and threw rights and lefts wth reckless abandon. Bailey adopted Gene Ttinncy's bicycling tactics and backed about the ring AsI tet several complete circuits Shires threw a right, from the shoe tops that caught Bliley on the chin. . Bailey wavered a moment, sighed .mightily ami slid to the floor for ! the ten count. Although they had booed Shires las he entered the ring, the 5.0061 fans who witnessed the bout called] on the Chicago ball player for a speech afterward. Strangely] enough the Toy whose chef claim: to fame is his vet'gisity, refused. He looked at the announcer and said something in an undertone. "What Shires wants to say.” the announcer .shouted, "is that he would like to be known as baseball's idol." What the galleryites shouted in reply is letter left unsaid. "Th? Great" Arthur displayed no reticence about being interviewed. "Now I'm up around my r'ght pcicentage. Two wins in three battles gives nte a percentage of 667 doesn't it?" he chortled. "I’nt telling you. I'm serious about ttiis fight business. I like it and lx*lieve m , I'.n betting good at it. “About these guys Frank O'Doul of the Phillies and Mickey Cochrane of tile Athletics who say they want to fight ,-ie —they're only trying to cash in on my reputation. I can't be bothered fighting guys like that.” o—n p. - d-k 4 The G. E. Club netters carved another notch in their victory belt as a result of whipping the Rockford Red Men basketball team at D H. S. ] gymnas ; um last night. —oOo— The G. E. club team is playing the brand of independent basket ball wh'ch is bound to draw large] crowds. —oOo— Cocch George Laurent takes a revamped Commodore basketball team to Lima, Ohio, to- . night to meet St. Johns high school of that-city. It's the first encounter for the Commodores against St. Johns, and the outcome is doubtful—sport fans, however, believe that Coach Laurent's charges can easily dispose of the Buckeye aggregation. —oOo — Coach Olen Marsh's Jefferson high , school pggregation will entertain Pennville high school at Berne tonight. From all pre-game dope, the Jeffersonians should win by a comfortable margin—but these basketball games are always doubtful — there are upsets and upsets in games which are doped to be sure things. —oO,o— The Yellow Jackets are being groomed for the arrival of the Vikings from just beyond the west suburb. The Huntingto nnetters come to Decature January 1 for a net tilt. —oOo— Last year Huntington gave Decatur a dandy trimming at Hunt--1 Ington, but it was the first time In three years—and that will not likely happen aga'n. The victory last year was against the reserve ag gregation. —oOo — Two officials who have not walked any games tn Decatur this season will appear on the hardwood January 1 when the Curtismen meet Huntington. Griffith of Auburn and Welbourn of Fort Wayne will work the tilt. —oOo— G iffith, when working regularly s ptobably the best official in northern Indiana For the last two years, because of other bus- | iness duties, Griffith lias only

Mitchell's statemint was follow-] ed by an announcement from the ! treasury that rocomniendationa would soon be made to congress i for carrying out the border patrol

It is understood he feels the executive should shake up the Fid eral enforcement unit with greater celerity. Political Washington was more interested I tithe personal conflict h tween Mr. Hoover and Borah, Ills leading dry campaigner last year than in any of’er phase of he controversy. Senators felt I’,u ah was leferrlng to Mr. Hoover whi‘ii he mentioned the "top to hot tom" ■phrase, and this feeling prompted Senator Sheppard. Deni., lex., nuthor of the dry law. to ssne a statement saying the presi- . .!<nt appeared to be improving eon-1 dittons.
