A very enthusiastic crowd saw th" Red1 c-ewn-O.vl Ranic on " Thursday right, which the Crowns won, 56-2o. The club (tarn put up a good game and played hard to the finish, but did not live a chan-ce against th I r more exriencer! and ) e. vU r opponents. The lieu Crown management feel elated ov-r the successes attained this .-ea.-r.n and wl:-h to thank t'-.e fans fctl.e pplend'Ui support they have given Contrary statements which ha ve been mii. and circulated around the town, and through the titw.-jpapTs

Only average guarantee per pamo has been 30. hlci, wi:h gym rental, referees, preliminary garner, music war fax. uniforms and other necessity equipment,, have run the avers ire expanse per ijaioj well above the one hundred fifty dollar mark. The admission fees have pot in any manner been controlled by th desire to mr':e money but merely to hrea': . -vcn To rf.ite the personnel- of the Crown's team hive received nothing above their actual expenses for the Raines in which they have played at Whitintr. That the fans want the he eft it is po.ssihle to (jet and are willinpr to pay a reasonable admission fee can be attested to by their loyal support of the team the past season. The average general admission fee for the season has been .6684 centa per grame. In most cities where basketball is played, including Y. M. C. A.'s. professional. independent and amateur basketball the admission cbarfres are " "c per came, plus war tax or 3c. In no case has the admission fee for fames in which the Red Crowns save played in other cities been under t:io, and in two specific cases Jl.tio admission has been charg-ed. The Bijr Five who are now playtnt; a series of home games in Chicajjo have a set peneial admission of $l '1f. all of which goes to show that after all Whitirij-- fans have far-d extremely iv.e'1. Season ti -kets of ten game were pold earlier in the year at J3.00, including war tax. and a good number of fans purchased them and saw the camop at e cn'less money than the average admission charste. We hope that t'ae ab"e information will r. lifrhien those who persist in speakiner false statements rcca, d'ljr the con-

i duet of the Iter) Crown team. We i f n lr? -h-i' '--!!i the rr pf ton of

two games ladies were admitted for the nominal fee of 35c. and on two distinct occasions ladies' nights held for at which times they were admitted free of charge.

This game should be fast one as Chicago Heights hav only been defeated but once this ses son, and have btaen such teams as the Englewood Nationals and Stan ford Parks, two of the leading basket hall teams in Chicago. However the Heights teams will have to travel at fast clip to gain a victory over thr famous Colonial five who have only dropped one game thid season. Capt. Shelton will have the tearr out for tlulr usual practice and expects to have the quintet in fine shap when they m.'et the Heights five Manger Chayken wishes to announc that tickets for Thursday game can b purchased at the Colonial HportimGoorfs Store for thirty-five cents, th: general admission will be fitfy cents ALL SANTS 903 WIN.

At the executive meeting of th' Chicago District Golf association las week the matter of conceding putt wa.- discussed, and while no action was taken H was the consensus that H would be better all around if a rubwere framed to prohibit the practice.

Billard Tournament. With the end of the r'ay but a fw weeks off the race In the thre cushion handicap tournament being staged at Berrln's billiard parlors is becoming very close. The men in the leading position have several games left with each other and they are priming themselves for a hard fln'sh. At present Mc.Vcy is leed;ng but is closely pressed by Meara, Miilikan IVlito. G1h n3 Schleehty. The let

ter, after a bid stirt has been winning consistency and will cause nr. 'Ittle trouble in the futc:e cumes. Pollard struck an almost un-s;.lain.hle s'unp losing several of !ds last game; some of them by close scores. McVey, Buser and Geib Rre still tied for high run at 6 all. whlie second high run is a four-cornered tie between Pollard. Meara, MllllUnn and Brown. As the tournament draws to a close tie cannot but say something of the spirit of the entrants, especially those who are apparently "out of the m mey" is the saying goes. They appear Promptly at their scheduled time of flaying and they all play to' win no natter whom thctr opponent may be. This willingness to complete their schedule together with their attitude hlle playing tends to verify the phrase "Billiards, the gentlemen's Tame," no matter what style of billiards it may be.

as Service in Zero Weather

At th's time of the year the thrrmomet?r sometimes takes a notion ta drop several dearecs toward the zero mark. When that happens we are sure to get in a number

of ".No G;js" complaints, is a crrec-t on veni: -n t ; in

T be without rras even for a -hoit tip.ie in warm weathtr

fro weather it i-. h duatci'.

No or e knows this better than the gas man; consequently when "Jack Frost" interferes with our customers' supply, the as man makes ha?te to remedy the trouble as promptly a? possible. But inexperienced men cannot be used to handle this c';iss of work; it requires flv sen ices of careful competent men. trained to the businiss. When the weather is unusually severe, and complaints become numerous, every fitter, litter's helper, stove adjuster and service man is put on this work. and t tey stick to it night and day as long as there is a "no-gas" complaint to be remedied. Also many of our office men. who have had training in gas senice work, volunteer their services during a rush period and cheerfully leave a comfortable inside job, from sheer loyalty to the company and a desire to give all customers speedy service. Our service is a twenty-four hour a day proposition and is free. We can be reached any time of day or night, Sundays and holidays. For some years past the company has made a point of seeing that meters and gas pipes are installed so that they cannot be affected by frost. Consequently "No Gas" complaints are growing fewer and fewer every year. Such a complaint from a modern building is almost unheard of, but they still come from the older buildings. Customers can co-operate with the company and prevent inconvenience to themselves by seeing that basements and rooms where meters are located are not allowed to get below freezing point. Ic' blasts from doors and windows should be prevented, and all reasonable precautions taken. Precaution is always better than the best of cures. If, however, a customer is unfortunate enough to have to turn in a "No Gas" complaint, he may rest assured that the gas man will use extraordinary efforts and do all in his power to restore the gas service at that location as speedily as possible.
