Outscored but not outplayed, the

Camera Shop Kewples went down to defeat In their last game of the season at the hands of the Eaton' ex-hlgb basketball team, on the Armory floor at Eaton, Friday night by the score of 20 to 18. Inability to hit the basket was the cause of the Dollies' downfall. Time after time they nad chances at the basket, only to miss. The play practically the entire game was in the Kewpie s territory. Eaton made good on practically au of Its shots. The defense of the Kewples could not stop the scoring of tho Eaton lads from the center of the floor, where they shot through the rafters. The Eaton team got away to a good start in the first half and ran up a 13 to 9 lead at the half way mark. In this period the Kewples played circles around their opponents and oDtaineu manv shots at the basket, but failed to connect. Several times they took three or four successive shots at the basket before the Buckeyes could break It up. Eaton Rallies. In the last period the Kewples outscored the Eaton lads, making nine DOints to the ex-High's Beven points. but could not overcome the lead. Tho Kewples tied the score at 15 all with four minutes to go, but Eaton rallied and scored two goals in quick order, cinching the game. Simmons, playing center for the Kewples, was the outstanding star of the game. Besides playing a fine floor game, the offensive attack was built around him. He had two men riding him from start to finish. Despite the close guarding, he connected for four field goals, wagner, at uacjc guaru, also played a good defensive game. Weaver was the heavy scorer for the winners, making six baskets, several of which were made from difficult angles.

That's one claim to fame that "Hack" Miller, Cub outfielder, has. Miller is booked to play left field regularly with Bill Killifer's revamp ed Cubs this year. He showed last year that he is ripe for a regular" berth. In justice to Babe Ruth, we'll admit that Miller batted for the Big Bambino in the days when Babe was still rated as a pitcher and his home run tump hadn't been developed. It occurred when Miller was tried out by the Red Sox in 1918. He stuck with the Sox long enough to share In the world s series dough MUieVwTsVbufned from Oakland in the Coast league by the Cubs In A -I 1 . 1 . iii,u, uui iuo uea.1 wao uever uuiuyici.ed. The Brooklyn Dodgers also bad a string on Hack a couple of times, but couldn't find room for him. Which means that if Hack comes through with flying colors this year, he'll be getting sweet revenge on two or three club owners. Simmons put up a whale of a game at center for the Kewpies in their : I game at Eaton and had three "men on his neck throughout the game.
