His scores were 280, 225 and 170, while Jess went after counts of 255, 210 and 177. Cheney’s 2SO was plenty big enough to carry away the blue ribbon In anybody's league.

Monster Rooster Scrap Tipped Off When Young Cock Declares Himself CANTON, Ohio, Jan. 27. —A lusty young rooster, who simply couldn't resist the temptation to crow, put the quietus on "lift' was to have been the l}igKst cock fight ever Ig ld In this section of the State in rece; t years, and disappointed muny fans who had gathered from Alliance, Aftjssillon. Akron and Pittsburgh. Everything was set for the big event when two automobiles, loaded with deputy sheriffs landed at Meyers Lake Park ar.d started a systematic search of tho grounds. After hunting over a greater part of the work the officers were about to give up the expedition when the faint btit unmistakable crow of a rooster came to their ears from tho vicinity of the old ball park. The building in which the fights were to have been staged was cleverly concealed from (he outsida observation. N.>t a light showed, and it was with difficulty that the officers finally found the entrance door and pushed It open. Only a few men were in the room when tho deputies entered, but no attempt to escape was made, as the fight had not yet stalled. Inside the building had been constructed a real are.A for a real gladiatorial contest. In the center of the room was a pit eighteen feet square, lighted almost ns well as a prize rlug. Ranged around the pit were scats for more than 500 spectators. Those in charge told the officers that the work on the building had required four weeks to complete.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKET GOSSIP

Tho Shortrldge High School basketeers caaie within two points of registering the biggest surprise of the preseut high school basket season when they held the rapid traveling Shelbyvliie crew to a 23-to-22 score lust night on the Shortridge court. If the north siders had registered just two more points and nosed out a win, they would, have ripped the bottom out of every dope container in united basket hotbeds of Indiana. As it Is, the Shortridgers deserve more credit for last night's work than for an} thing tin y have done this season. The Sheibyville team, by virtue of a long list of victories, Including one over Frankline. is figured In on the State championship race In ns prominent a way as any team In Indiana and It was thought that the somewhat down trodden Shortridgers would b* easy meat for them. But last night saw tho Julius proteges battling like so many Trojans and they had the visitors on the Jump ail the time, never being more than three points in the rear. The count at half time was 13 to 12 in favor of ShelbyvUle. Lltz, anew Phortridge man, played a great floor game last night and was responsible for several or the Blue and White points. Riley and Richards also displayed good form in running the court, while Kilgore worked like a perfected machine at the back guard station. lticheson and Kauffman were the men responsible for the Sheibyville victory, scoring on long shots. " If the Shortridge athletes can play tho same brand of bull they uncorked last night when they make their appearance against Crawfordsville at Crawfordsville tomorrow night, they will be rewarded with a victory. Coach Julius seems to have his combination running In the right direction at this time and North Side fnns are expecting great work of them from now uutll the sectional tourney come3 around. The Shortridge combination will he strengthened somewhat when Garrett, former Brood Ripple star, whips himself Into shape for play. This tall boy Is a hard worker, has plenty of speed In covering the conrt and will tack up his share of the points in the toughest sernp. If Garrett gets In the Shortridge line-up he probably will Jump center, with Richards going to one of the forward stations in place of Klnzer or Lltz. Tech’s "Mystery Five” plays two games on the road this week-end, meeting Kokomo at Kokomo tomorrow night and Wabash at Wabash the following evening. Kokomo and Wabash are a couple of hickory nuts, but Tech enthusiasts are lending these two pontests little worry, because the Green and White

WABASH DRILLED HARD FOR GAME. An air of excitement has hung about the Wabash caipp all week while Coach I’nte "Vaughan sent his athletes through their toughest drills for this game with tho team representing his Alma Slater.

Vaughan has been credited with being the brains” of that famous Notre Dame club, and tonight he will send a team out to do battle with the beat combination Notre Dame has had since his day at the South Bend institution. The Wabash tenm is in perfect physical condition for tonight's game and Vaughan will start his regular line-up of Adams and Schanlaub. forwards; Goldsberry, center, and Captain Burns and (.rater, guards. This Is a speedy combination, but It will have to atep some to keep time with the just-as-fast and much bigger Notre Dame machine of McDermott and Grant, forwards; Captain Mehre. te. ter, and Kilcy and Eddie Anderson, guards. NOTRE DAME HAS HEAVY MACHINE. Wabash is going to have to do a lot of i good guarding to keep Mehre, McDermott ami Riley from posting big counts and Vaughan is just u trifle worried that tinwork of watching these bifr fellows, all of them measuring six feet and being | built in proportion, is going to weaken j his athletes. Other teams have held ! Notre Dame close In the first period, only ! to come back weary from their action against'tile Irish huskies and be smothered under an avalanche of goals by Mehre and McDermott in the second ses dun. Wabash has listed Enrlham, Purdue and De I’auw among its victims uud Scarlet fans believe the locals will anuex Die State title if Notre Dame can ba ! beaten tonight.
