that they went through the whole:
tournament without a subsitutibn. i
In the final game, whih was between ;
(Charleston and Wellsburg, both
teams put up a good article of* basketball
and the result was in doubt j
until the last few minutes of play, i
" Charleston won her victory through i
fine shooting and guarding.
IThe big tournament that has just
been brought to a close was .one of
the biggest events of the kind that
has ever been staged in this section

this city, have signed contracts Tor.;
the coming season. Frank, who ist
better known to local baseball fansj
as "Cuss" Moran. has signed with.'
Warren in the Interstate League,

known as "Heinie," will be with the
Norfolk team in the Virginia League,
where he - played last season. According
to the. Reach baseball guide,
which is just off the press, Moran
