Ferndales Leap Into
Spotlight by Taking
Southport Contest
West Side Quintet Wins, 15
to 12, Over Team With
Strong Record.
, The Ferndale A. C. basket quintet
performed a feat that made the fans of
the city step up and look around when
they defeated the Southport Independ
ents, 15 to 12, at the Ferndale gym last
night. With victories over the Kokomo
Chamber of Commerce and the Moores
vllle Elks, the Southport boys come to
Indianapolis expecting easy riding, but
they went home a sad, but wiser, combi
nation.
Less than a minute after the play
opened Folkerson, Ferndale forward,
caged the ball on a shot from the center
of the floor and gave the locals a lead
they held throughout the contest, thauks
to the brilliant guarding of Matthias and
Nelson. After Folkerson made bis first
basket he was watcued closely by the
Southport guards and had little chance
to pull any star work, but Lawton
started where he left off and plied up
the count for- the west side warriors.
The first half ended with the locals lead
ing, 7 to 6.
Neither side scored through the five
minutes of fast play that opened the
second period, but at the end of this
time Lawton found his eye again and
the Ferndales moved two points closer
to the victory line. There was never
more than three points difference in the
two scores during this period and the
last minute of play found the teams
going as fast as they were in the first
minute.
While the Ferndales and Southport
were having their dispute on the Fern
dale floor the Merchants Heat and Light
quintet and the Mooresville Elks were
battling at Mooresville. This game re
sulted in a 19 to 17 victory for the Elks.
With these facts and figures on display
it is hard to deny that the Ferndales
stack up as one of the best outfits In
the state.
teuScHOOL
TECH HAS SIX
MORE CONTESTS
Only six more Interscholastic contests
remain on the Tech basket card, and
these, booked with some of the strong
est teams in the state, are expected to
whip Coach Black’s aspiring basketeers
into perfect condition for tb** local see
•tional meet early in March. In glancing
over the list of quintets that the east
siders intend to beat before the ciosc
of the season it is apparent that the
jGreen and White net tossers have set
themselves to no easy task, as such teams
as Lebanon, Bloomington, Bedford and
Jefferson are included in this list. How
ever, in their last few games the locals
have shown themselves capable of play
ing consistent and sensational basketball
•and are now beginning to fulfill some of
the prophesies that were made concern
dug them at the start of the season.
. ' The fact that the Tech squad held
. Franklin to an eight-point victory on the
Franklin floor while Sbortr.dge was
1 beaten by tweDty-eigbt points by tin
" same team in a game played on the
: Short ridge floor, has about con
vinced local fans that the east side ag
gregation is the city’s best In the state
’lace. The record of game.< won and lost,
which has been in Shortrldge’s favor all
season, has at last shifted !;j lavor of
the Tcchltes, and unless Tatlock’s Blue
and White warriors perk up immediately
Tech will be a heavy favorite in the coin
ing sectional tourney. The first of the
t qulntets that Tech is scheduled to hook
"Up with on the home stretch is Uieh
mond. This contest will be played at
Richmond Friday night, and although
-.•a fast game is looked for. the odds.,
dope and comparative scores arc all in
‘favor of the local aggregation.
LEBANON STOPS LIZTON.
Saturday night at Lebanon, the Liz- ;
ton High'school basketball team met its
first defeat of the season—at the hands j
of Lebanon, 22 to 12. This ends nue !
of the most remarkable strings of wins
ever hung up by mi Indiana high school
basket quintet—twenty-one straight vie- !
tories. Two Indianapolis high school !
leams have met "Lizzie"' this season j
Technical and Shortridge.—and the scores
were: Technical, 14: Lizton, 23, and
Shortridge, 22; Lizton, 23. Indianapolis I
- basket tans \WII have an opportunity to j
l see Lizton's conquerors in action here ’
next Saturday night, when Shortridge:
*nd Lebanon clash at the "V" gym.
e Asa result of the Lebanon win much i
nterest in that team is being shown. ;
uid her record this season is being
tlosel.v scanned for tiie purpose of dop- j
mg out whether the victory was accord
ing to past performances or just a
"horseshoe." In sixteen games reported
. Lebanon has met but five defeats. The
record follows:
Lebanon. 33. Bloomington, 23: Leba
non, 40, Thorntown. 10; I>ebanon. 13;
Franklin. 03; Lebanon, 23, Jefferson
High ( Lafayette). 19: Lebanon, 10; Mar
.. tlnsvllle, 24; Lebanon. 22. Frankfort, 27;
• Lebanon. 23, Advance, 22; Lebanon, 23,
Emerson High (Gary). 15; Lebanon. 36,
Darlington. 3; Lebanon, 27, Anderson,
.32; Lebanon, 24, Whiting. 33; Lebanon,
33. Brownshurg 13; Lebanon 23; Tipton.
2; Lebanon, 24. Bedford, 20: Lebanon, 39.
Plainfield. 16; Lebanon, 22. Lizton, 12.
It will be noted that the five teams
which have defeated I^banon—Franklin.
Martinsville. Anderson, Whiting and
Frankfort—are all well up In the running
and considered contenders for the state
championship. So it looks as though
Lebanon was as much entitled to the job
of stopping Lizton as anybody.

How Boxing Proves Big
Aid to City Finances
TOLEDO, .Tan 27.—Receipts of the
Toledo boxing commission for 1913
amounted to $41,749.04 and total disburse
ments, mainly for charitable purposes,
amounted to $25,678.58, the nnnual state
-1 raent made public today showed. This
leaves a balance of $15,503.14, of which
$1,567.32 has been used for expenses of
the commission.
The Willard-Dempsey fight last July 4.
of course, is responsible for the large
amount handled. Records show Rickard
and Flourney. promoters of the battle,
paid into the commission's treasury $30,-
000. Os this $1,248.75 was repaid to the
promoters when it was discovered their
check for $30,000 exceeded by that much
the 7 per cent the commission takes from
all tight receipts.
Disbursements of the commission in
cluded mqney paid for physicians, nurses,
food and clothing, upkeep 'of public rec
reation grounds and various contribu
tions for charitable purposes.

The receipts of 11.000 hogs, nearly 50 j
per cent, more than on the two market
days preceding, alone, contributed con
siderable power to the buying side and
resulted in a distinct, but not serious,
decline in .prices. There were more diff
erent values placed on the hogs of dif
ferent average weight and necessarily
the loss was irregular, but in the aver
age it was about 20c. The light hogs
that sold at $10.25 were mostly 15c lower,
and the heavier kiuils that sold at sl6@
16.15, were 10c to 25c lower. The gen
eral sales of the matured hogs were just
25c higher than the same kind of hogs
sold on the final market last week, and
75c higher than a week ago. A few
loads of hogs, averaging considerably
more than 300 pounds, had to sell down
to $15.75, but this was offset to some
extent by the sales of a few hogs at
the tip top price of* $16.35. Pigs aver
aging loss than 130 pounds sold from
sls down, and the best sows again sold
at $14.25. but there were fewer sold
higher than sl4. There was a good clear
ance.
Cattle.
There was little change in the re
ceipts of 1,100 cattle and there is a loss
of more than 400 in two days, compared
with the same time last week. The
supply was no larger than necessary and
sellers found an active outlet fjor their
consignments. !>ut they were not sue'
cessful in .realizing higher prices, at
least so far as most of the killing cattle
were concerned. In most, cases, where
prices appeared to be higher, buyers de
clared they had the advantage in the
fill, as compared with Monday, and that
the cattle would cost no more in the
beef. Steers were again more difficult
to sell than the female butcher cattle,
but there were no more of any kind
than the trade required. There was a
strong to higher market for veal calves,
with the ton price practically $22, hut
there were ’odd sales as high as $23.
The demand for feeding cattle was equn'
to the supply and prices continued
steady.
Sheep.
In the unusually small rec-elp's of 200
sheep and lambs there were sales of
ambs at S2O and sheen at $lO. but buyers
were not as interested ns they would
have been with larger receipts.

MONTE CARLO’S SUICIDE ROCK
Monte Carlo has long been the rendezvous for the sporting fra
ternity. Here their roads focus in a beautiful sunlit land, nestling be
tween the stern- snow-capped Alps and the gentle blue of the summery
Mediterranean.
Stimulator of aspiration, destroyer of hope—Monte Carlo has been
the mirage which has lured many on to inevitable ruin—the conse
quence of which they fled by way of “Suicide rock,” jutting out over
the sea close by.

Fair Weather and Weak De
mand Are Vital Factors.

and heavy hog receipts were the de
pressing influences. The market was
dull and local with scattered buying by
local bears at the outset. Provisions were
I lower with heavy hog receipts.
January corn started unchanged a*
$1.45, but later lost %c. May corn was
down %c at the opening, $1.35%, and
subsequently lost another %c. July corn
opened up %e at $1.32%, and remained

National Wool Growers Score
Speculative Methods.
SALT LAKE), Utah, Jan. 27.—Specula
tion in wool is one of the trade evlla
which should be abolished, either through
the direct sale for fleeces t,o clothing
manufacturers or by pooling and storing
the clip in the national wool warehouses.
Such was the general opinion among
those attending the National Wool Grow
ers’ association convention here
Contracting wool on the sheep’s back
was condemned as a speculative practice
which has been costing growers in the
neighborhood of $100,000,000 annually
since the war began. Most of the day's
session was devoted to the pasige of reso
lutions and the annual election of officers .
Resolutions adopted included the fol-’
lowing:
‘Mool growers a fie unalterably opposed
to the use o f public lands for recreation
grounds where such lands are used at
the expense of grazing areas. They ar
in favor of range improvements, such
as the building of roads, trails and drift
fences, development of watering places,
the elimination of poisonous plants and
the destruction of predatorv animals. A
po cy of segregation of cattle and sheep
"ill also be urged upon the forest re
serve service and higher salaries are sug
gested for the officials of this service, as
present salaries are considered too small
to appeal to capable men.”
DECLARES AGAINST
REDS AND PACKER BILLS.
Ihe association is heartily in favor
of oppressing radicalism, deporting an
archists and protests against proposed
packer legisiation such a the K-K bills,
which have a tendency to depreciate the
value of live stock and disorganize mar
kets. The association is in favor of
signing the league of nations pact and
believes that every effort should be made
to bring to an end the present period
of unrest. It is unanimously in favor of
a protectial wool tariff.
Perhaps the most positive resolution
adopted wag that pertaining to truth In
fabric legislation. Wool growers are a
unit in declaring that manufacturers
should be compelled to truthfully label
the products of their looms. The move
ment to increase the demand for lamb
meat through advertising and educational
drives received the enthusiastic support
of *he convention.
CONVENTION MARKED
BY INTENSE INTEPJEST.
Following the adoption of resolution*
the annual election of officers occurred.
President F. J. Hagenbarth was re
, elected by acclamation and Prof. F. R.
.Marshall of the animal husbandry de
partment appointed as secretary to suc
ceed Dr. S. W. McClure. Dr. McClure
will remain on the executive committee
of the organization.
The Salt Lake convention has been fea
tured ly a greater degree of interest In
subjects discussed than in many years.
Wool men declare it has been the most
successful meet in the history orthe or
ganization.
