iI)ASKE»WL » < L—(By Pete Reynold*) ‘ The Decatur G. E. club lost its ftyst game in 'he Markle tourney last night, dropping a hard fought game to the Huntington Ampco*. 17 to 14. The game was rather in the nature of an upset, as the local team had been favored by many to advance to the final round and pet haps win the tourney. •’-"■'W* —oOo- — The Commodores will start on a strenuous round of basketball Thursday night. The locals will play at Delphos tomorrow night. Will meet Ossian here on Monday, :»ad then on Monday night, comes the big game of the year. —oOo— Central Catholic, of Fort Wayne, will appear on the local floor Monday night in the last regular game of the season for the Commodores. C. C. defeated the locals at Fort Wayne a short time ago and the Commodores will be out fcr revenge. —oOo — This Delphos battle Thursday night will also be another chance tor revenge for the Commodores. St. Johns defeated the locals here last Wednesday, 24 to 19. In two gatftes earlier in the season, th? teams had each won one game so a victory tomorrow night for the Commodores will even the series. This Ossian team will probably be plenty tough Friday night, too. Ihe Commodores defeated Ossian at Ossian eaflier in the season, by a slender margin. Ossian's outstanding player, Shafer, center, has returned to the Wells county team s lineup after being out several weeks because of illness and as a result Bill Windmiller's team has shown new power in recent weeks. The Decatur Yellow Jackets have only one game schedu'ed for this week. The locals will play at Garrett, Friday night, and should register a win without a great deal of t l . ouble. Decatur must win this game to maintain its perfect percentage in the Northeastern Indiana conference. The Fort Wayne Hoosiers apparently hire won their way into the play off for the American League championship. The Hoosiers scored a decisive victory over the Brooklyn Visitations last night at Fort Wayne. 33 to 17. The Hoosiers have only one game left to liny in'’the second half, with Toledo. and by winning this game will practically clinch the second half ;ace. Brooklyn won the first half. - . • —oOo— Hopes of the Decatur Yellow-

Jackets to win the Northeastern In dlana conference and the sectional titles have been ruddy shaken the last few days by an epidemic of mumps starting among members of the squad. Three members of the varsity quad. Jake Hill, regular forward, Feasel, forward and Steele, guatd, i both first string substitutes, are I confined to their homes with the I disease. Gay, regular center on the Yellow Jacket reserve team, is, also ill. It is feared that other members. ' of the team will become 111 as only s four of them have previously had > the mumps and all members of f both teams have been exposed. De '• Bolt. Schnepp. Zerkel and Buffett-1 II burger ate apparently safe as they i ' have had the mumps. The game with Garrett, Friday! night, at Garfett. should be a fair- 1 ly easy victory for the Yellow Jac-’ kets. even without the full strength ‘ of the team, but the Kendallville battle here February 27 is another; matter. And as for the sectional, well. I . we are not Iguring on that just yet Berne Independents Beat West Unity, Ohio The Berne A. C. defeated West I Unity. Ohio, at Berne Tuesday ' night. 42 to 40. Berne lead at the half, 28 to 10. The largest crowd of. the season witnessed last night's game. Berne will play a return game at West Unity next Tuesday. February 24. i o Commodore Seconds a Beat C.

The Commodores held i . an 8-6 lead at the half. In the preliminary game, the S' i Joe eighth graders were defeated ,- by the Jefferson team. 18 to 13. St. . Joe led. 7 to 6. at the rest period. I o NAVAL OFFICER TAKES OATH AS CABINET HEAD t1 i CONTI \J a D FROM PAGE ONE' king's power as piopuser by the] corstitutionalists and libera's w'.o! failed to form a government. Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar Y. I Cabanas is captain general ofl Cartagena and was active in Span ish politics some years ago. He is 1 70 years old. The selection of a naval officer | to form a government strengthen--ed the prediction made in some quarters that King Alfonso would: return to a government similar to l that of Gen. Berenguer rather than j risk the possibilities of a left cab-! inet and a constitutional convention. Admiral Aznar was not expected to plan the assumption of strict distatorial powers, however. ' Admiral Aznar was summoned to Madrid immediately after the B<?renguer government resigned, hut - was not consulted during first nego- • tiations which resulted in the desigation of Sanchez Guerra to form a cabinet. The capital was quiet. Yester- ' day the government had taken 1 strict military precautions against. disorders or revolutionary move-; ments and troops were concentrated in barracks or at strategic 1 points around the capital. The ■ nation was under strict censorship and constitutional guarantees were suwpeded. The new cabinet included: Premier and minister of marine ’ —Admiral Aznar. Foreign affairs — Count Roman-’ ones. Liberal monarchist. Public works —Juan De La Cierva. leader of a group of "right” I conservatives and father of the uito-gyro inventor. ! Labor —The Duke of Maura, con- ! servative. Justice —The Marquis of Alhucemas. leader of the Liberal-Demo * rats, a "venter” group of the con-

servatives or monarchists. Finance John Ventosa, the Catalan regionalist. War Crt-n. Dumaso Berenguer, whose dictatorial government fell last Saturday. Interior The Marquis of Hoyos, mayor of Madrid. Economy—Count BuguJial, leader of the extreme "right" faction of conservatives. All of the ministers, except Gen-, oral Berenguer. who is ill, and] ' Ventosa. who is en route from Barcelona, were sworn in with the[ new i rentier, j ' o City Inspector Is Fatally Wounded Chicago.
