Basketball News
Tryon Athletic Association girls
and boys’ basketball teams split
a double-header Wednesday night
at the local gymnasium with the
Converse Mills teams of Spartan
burg, S. C. The speedy Tryon
girls were too much for the Con
verse girls and easily won 33 to 4.
The local guards were clicking so
good that Converse girls were not
able to make a field goal. Tryon
boys lost a hard fought game to
the Converse boys 43-33.
The high school basketball teams
will play their only home game
of the week. Friday night, when
landrum high is met. The games
with Landrum always are hard
fought and attract a big crowd
due to the closeness of the two
towns. The games for the past
few years have broken about even
in wins with the scores being only
a few ooints different. Fox, one
of the Landrum players, is famil
iar since he has| been a half-back
bn the Tryon football team for
two years.
The girl*’ game will start at
7:39 with the boys playing after
wards.
The Tryon colored basketball
teams lead by Captains Hannon
for the boys and Massey for girls,
will meet a strong Sylva team
tonight.

Dear Mr Vining,
I am sure you have all been
very grieved to hear of the sudden
death of Mrs Flynn’s sister, Mrs
Brand. It came as a great shock
to everybody here, and she will be
sorely missed by her many friends.
She was unfailingly kind to me,
and I shall always think of her
radiating goodness and charm, as
I’m sure you will too, in Tryon.
England is quite hateful at the
moment. The Thames, as usual,
has overflown its banks, and our
daily papers are plastered with
pictures of women being hauled out
cf their bedroom windows into boats
by stalwart men in Wellington
boots; of children floating about
in hip baths, or sodden cows graz
ing moodily at vast tracts of
water. But as you too, so I read,
are experiencing bad floods, maybe
you won’t be as sympathetic as I
had hoped.
As you see, I have just moved
house, and am now living on the
sixth floor—don’t sneer like that
—of a block of flats. I find the
height quite bewildering ,and am
enchanted by the view of roofs
and chimney pots. Owing to the
fact, however, that this migration
has been taking place, the outside
world has been a closed book to
me. I have spent my days with
the carpenter, and my nights re
arranging the furniture. I find
that at nightl am endowed with
superhuman strength, and can
move pianos with one hand; a sort
of nocturnal madness assails me I
I believe that all house-movers get
it. Because of this, I repeat, I
