BLOOMINGTON WINS SATURDAY

NIGHT ENCOUNTER BY

17 TO It DECISION

A spirited third quarter rally during which the veteran Greencastle high school basketball team appeared lo t in a fog resulted in Bloomington | winning, 17 to 14 in a contest played : here Saturday night- During the per-1 iod in question, the Panthers collected i in 8 points while the Tiger Cubs were j marking time. This gave the visitors a two-point advantage and they proceeded to outscore the locals during

the final frame, 6 to 4.

The opening quarter was slow with both quintets missing many shots at the hoop, the first eight minutes ending 2-2. In the second quarter, the Cubs came to! life and ran their total to 10 while a field goal just as the gun fired, gave Bloomington 4 points

for the half.

When the third quarter got underway, local fans had settled back in their seats expecting the Cubs to win by a comfortable margin. However. Pete Phillips and his proteges had a different idea entirely and led by Taylor, a crack shot from any place on the floor, the Panthers began an attack that swept the Purple and Gray netters off their feet. As the smoke of battle cleared away at the expiration of this period the scoreboard read Bloomington

12; Greencastle 10

The momentum of their third quarter drive carried the Panthers through the last period despite the! frantic efforts of the Tiger Cubs to ,

We may he wrong hut it seemed to us that the Cubs looked tired during the second half. I raining rules must be observed if hoys expect to have a winning hall club

—0—*

The game was rather remarkable a way at that. Only three fouls were called on the Cubs and only four on the Panthers. And both teams made all their free throw® good.

LOCAL B TEAM HAS TOEGH TIME DISPOSING OF P\NTHEH SECONDS

The Greencastle and Bloomington B teams battled in an interesting curtain raiser Saturday evening which developed into a double overtime affair with the Titer Cub reserves finally winning 14 to 11. At the half, the tilt was knotted at 4all. At the end of the regulation playing time the score was 9 to 9. At the expiration of the tirst extra period it was 11-11 In the second overtime period the local reserves held their opponents scoreless while collecting a field goal and a toss from the charity stripe and the ball game. Campbell, Hauck, McGill, Cox and Roberts performed well for the Greencastle qui tet. Campbell who has had some first team experience blocked well and aNo connected with some timely basekets. Hauck at center also looked good and was a big factor in the ultimate victory registered by the reserves.

Taylor is certainly the spark-plug Of Bloomington’s speedy ball club. And wh«?n he went into the game Oh me, Oh my, there’s the rtihl.

The final score was 17 to 14 Of it, less said the better, Mercy, we have such a chill We've got to find a sweater.

The Fillmore Cardinals journeyed to Ladoga Saturday night where they won a hard fought game, 14 to 12 The Ladoga team was leading 5 to 4 at the half way mark. When play was resumed they increased their lead to 11 to 6 as the third quarter ended. A Fillmore rally, featured by the long range shooting of Varvel and Watson, from back of center, gave the

Cardinals victory.

HOBOES ORGANIZE AT ATLANTA ATLANTA, fia., (UP)—Unemployed, and just nlain hoboes who have to wait over here between trains (freight), have organized a “hobo dty” down near Atlanta’s water works, called “The Jungle."

“The Jungle” has become the ertss roads of down-and-outers of the south, a living thing where out-of-luck men come and go, linger a time and leave. “Ye Gods," said a youthful citizen of the Jungle recently when an Atlanta newspaper took a picture of the

HEAD THIS FIRST Frank Severn has been kidnaped from his country place. Beggar's Court, where his lawyer, Felix Sant, takes charge. Jim Wynter and hts friend, Bill Grayson, search the place and find a hidden stairway and a locked door in the ruins of an ancient chapel. They begin to suspect Sant of being in league with the kidnapers when a wall ‘’accidently” falls, blocking th: door, ami become convinced of it when they find in his desk an anonymous letter addressed to Wynter, which obviously hai! been held up because it gave vcuining that Sant was not to be trusted. Grayson, hi wife, Wynter and Katharine Faring take a house, Manoi ways, near Beggar's Court. Katharine is the rightful owner of the missing C/armu Rubies by inheritance from her Russian gYar.dlather, and Severn tiad tried to recover livm for tier.

Been over here long.''" "Oh, not more than a couple of years or so,” Ilsham said carelessly. It was within the past twelve months that Bill Grayson whilst in New York had visited Sing Sing prison. And unless Bill's almost unlanny memory for faces was at fault - only Jim did not believe that it was . t fault. Verytlouhtful. indeed, if D-ham could possibly have been in England during that length of time

lie professed.

"But not in Mead’s End, Ilsham,

all that time?”

“No. I’ve only been here a few weeks. My job happens to he painting, so I'm not tied by Die lag to any one spot. I lighted on ' place by chance more than any thing, and omething about it too', my lancy. Had the idea 1 could paint here, and here I stayed," Ilsham said. “A leepy, old fashioned place that’s pretty well the same to day, if Em any judge, as it was in the old *miig.cling days of a century back, when, it all the stories are to be believed, it was a regular thing to run contraband up the estuary and every one in the village, more or less, from pot hoy to liaison, was in it.” Ilsham paused. Then suddenly: “Em told there are some ruins at Beggar's Court, with a warren of vaults underneath said to have been used as a ‘hide’ lor the stuff after a successful run. Close by the estti ary, too—what could be more handy? ! guess our people over there didn't invent bootlegging. Y’ou know, Mr. Wynter, one leels almost sorry to think," he added with a laugh, ’’that tu tin e unromantic days that undergroumj place has now no guilty ae-

i rets to hide.”

PUZZLED

Jim looked hard at IDIiam, puzzled and suddenly on bis guard. Eh abrupt reference to that secret

Sing Sing, if Bill were to be relied on—was masquerading here under obviously false pretenses And what furtive errand had taken ll-ham that night to the grounds of Beggar's Court? "What about that fallen wall ifi the ruins. Sant?” Jim asked suddenly. "Have you arranged yet about having workmen in?” "Sorry. Afraid 1 haven’t yet. Been so busy. Too big a job to get done locally. .Special tackle will be wanted, of cour-e. I must see about it." L heard something about a wall collapsing at Beggar’s Court,” said Ilsham w th sudden tmereM. "Real dandy ruins. I'nt told, tbe sort that we'd give our ears to grow over in my country and can only import as the next best thing, but they don't sound too safe." Fant frowned. “A d ■■■— dangerous place,” he said. A place so dangerous, dangerous in another way for him that Sant would do his best, Jim felt convinced, to keep that underground door permanently sealed against any intruders. "Severn knew too much for their safety,' the unknown writer of that letter had said. Had hinted, tco, that tbe clue to the whole mystery should be looked for beliiud that blocked

door.

But in spite of Sant that door was going to be opened—made to yield up its secret, whatever that secret might be I Jim had quite made up his inutd as to that. "Well, 1 must be pushing along," Sant said. "Look here, Wynter, what about looking iu tonight after dinner, you and Gray-on? He's down here, too, I suppose? And you. Mr. Ilsham—very glad if you'll blow along, too.” "1 hanks very much. I shall be delighted,” said Ilsham. "And you, Wynter? Good. About nine shall we *ay. J And perhaps 1 may have a little surprise.for you," he added with a chuckle And with a bland wave of his hand Sant drove on.

lud seemed rather dragged in. Had it been dragged in deliberately? Y\ hat was baneath the seemingly careless words—-or was anything beneath them?
