One-Point Victory--A squad of Co- lumbus high school athletes went up Ito Silver Creek last evening and vanquished the Silver Creek high school basketball team 20 to 19 in an exceedingly interesting game, The contest was scheduled for the C. H. S. reserves, but because they were to participate in the county tournament today, Coach Rich. kept most of them at home and sent up a squad of others who have been out for practice, but most of whom haven't been assigned regularly to either the first team or reserves.

H.

S. cagers 26 to 16. It was a good game and the locals played good basketball, but the Yorkers developed an offensive that was too much for them. Ostbloom's spectacular feat in throwing two baskets the full length of the hall was easily the outstanding feature.

The Columbus lineup was: Luchsinger and Poesch, forwards; Oehirich, center; Bosserman and Jones, guards, with Eggert substituting for Poesch and Poesch for Oehirich.

Motion for New Trial -The motion for a new trial filed by counsel for the defendant in the case of Mary Marita vs. Sschool Districet No. 42 was argued before Judge A. M. Post in district court this morning.

The case was the one in which a jury gave Miss Moritz a verdict for $240 against the district because the board discharged her as teacher before the expiration of her contract. Counsel for the district in support of the motion for a new trial raised a number of alleged errors in procedure in the first trial, laying stress on two -the contention that the verdict was not in accordance with law and the judge's instructions, maintaining that Miss Moritz was entitled to all that she sued for, or nothing. and secondly, claiming misconduct on the part of a juror. The latter contention was supported by an affidavit by Henry Cattau, one of the jurors, to the effect that during the deliberations one of the other jurors had remarked that the case was a resuit of "a neighborhood and racil fight" and that Miss Morita was to all she asked for." Counsel for Mina Morita moved to strike the affidavit from the fles, contending that a juror's testimony could not be used to impeach his own verdict, and wered the contention that the verdict was not in accord with law and the judge's instructions by insisting that Miss Moritz and not the school district was the only party that could raise that question. Judge Post took the matter under advisement.

FARRELL New York, Feh. 17 (United Press) Bad luck is the first alibi of a poor Joser.

Winners as a rule make their own breaks, but the element of chance is really what makes all games a sport. The "breaks" are considered the big thing in baseball and they are a bigger factor on the diamond perhaps than on any other field of athletics. The "breaks" in baseball are not confined to the field, however. Luck in getting players is more of a factor in building winning ball clubs than in polling home runs and pitching one hit games. The New York Yankees have, four of the finest scouts in the country.

system of combing the bush leagues is the most expensive in baseball, but it has never returned a dividend of a nickel. In eight years, the New York American league club has not discovered one real player. is not the fault, of the club and the scouts aren't to blame. They just didn't have the luck. George W.

Grant, owner of the Boston Braves, has given deep thought to the subject because his club can't afford to pay 'big money for developed stars and depends largely on what it can pick up in the rough. One real find in 200 chances is a fair average in baseball, he figures. Some clubs have luck in gobs, In the last four years, the Cincinnati Reds have had phenomenal luck in getting great young players. In fact the Reds have gotten all the finds in the major leagues. Past Duncan, Pete Donahue, Harper, Bohne, Fonseca and Pinelli are a huge assortment to pick up for nothing and the Reds did that very thing, for, practically no outlay of cash was made.

John McGraw has turned up more star players perhaps than any other manager in the game, but he did not profit by it as he should have. Me- Kodak Finishing Cameras and Film Priddy Photo Co. FARM LOANS AT COST -through the-Federal Farm Loan System P. F. Luchsinger Co.

He didn't have time to bother with Rommel, Roush, Groh and a flock of others and he turned them over to others to be polished and brightened for the future. Harry Greb, holder of the American light heavyweight championship, is losing the flocks of he used to have in New York with his foul tactics in the ring.

His actions gouging, heeling, elbowing, butting, holding against Tom Gibbons, Gene Tunney and Tommy Loughran were so flagrantly and openly a violation of the rules that it is strange he was allowed to get away with it. Greb is one of William Muldoon's pet little hobbies and he has always been able to get away with anything in New York. Outside of the ring Greb is one of the finest and most likeable boxers in the business but he seems to leave his nice traits in the dressing room when he is working. Those critics who expound the opinions that participation in strenuous sports robs girls of their beauty and feminine charms have certainly never had a good look Helen Wills, Glenna Collett, Aileen Riggin or Helen Wainwright. The list of "good lookers" doesn't end with them, but they are among the most striking examples.
