QUICK, WATSON! THE AIR PUMP AT ONCE.

Hugh Kirk’s Meteors, a basket ball five composed of spavined wheel 'horses, stars of other days, are to open their 1920 basket ball campaign this Tuesday evening at Brook when they meet the fast going outfit from that place for forty minutes on the court. It is going to be a mighty long forty minutes, too, that the veteran campaigners from here have taken upon themselves, and a favorable outcome tto the game from a local standpoint is mighty dubious. Brook is in the pink and has the advantage of many weeks of practice and already has met many of the fast teams of this territory. However, the locals are determined to give their all they have in stock and at the same time prepare themselves for the return tussle here Friday night. The men to make the trip tonight will be: Kirk, captain; Clark, Nowels, Putts, Phegley, Collins, Babcock and Wartena.
