6 Good Games
First 3 Nights
of Tournament
Attracting spectators from all parts
of the county, the volunteer firemen's
indoor circus basketball tournament
here has been the main event of the
week. With one or two exceptions,
all the county schools were represent
ed in the tournament Then there
were also teams from outside the
county, besides a third group, the
free-for-aIL
The Washington and Everetts High
Schools started the aeries Monday
eight in the class A group, Everetts
winning 27-7. Hamilton defeated
Itobersonville the same night in the
class B series by a score of 12 to 9.
Tuesday night Jamesville defeated
the Winterville High School five in
a one-sided game, the score being SI
ti 11. The game was hotly contested
by the out-of-county boys, but Jamos
ville was in top form and made it
impossible for their opponents to
build a substantial score. This was
the second game of the class A group,
in clan B, Farm Life and William
ston furnished thrills for the large
number of spectators when they met in
the night's first game. The score,
12-9, leads to no conclusion as to the
worth of the game. The contest was
crowded with action, fall after fall
being made by members of both teams.
The local boys proved themselves a
little better and maintained the lead
during the greater part of the game.
Wednesday night, in the free-for
all contest, Jamesville downed the
Washington Wildcats by a score of
27 to 7, the same score made when
Everetts defeated the Washington
Highs. The game scheduled between
Everetts and the local town team was
not played, the locals having with
drawn from the tournament. How
ever a team, gathered from here and
there, was substituted, and Everetts
turned it back by a score of 83 to 12.
The quickly organised five was
at a loss in ringing the goals, while 1
their opponents made points from all 1
parts of the court. Since the substi-,
tuting team was made up mainly of
professors, Hicks, of Everetts, and
Davis and Phillips, of Williamston,
taking part, Everetts' win is to be
credited not a lack of knowledge but
tc the lack of practice. Three fea
tures found their way into the game—
the smooth playing of Everetts, num
erous falls, and a "trompled-oh" foot,
the latter belonging to Professor Da
vis. ,'

the preliminaries, and the finals start
ed last night when Hamilton and
Williamston met.
The local high school won the first
slier loving cup in the tournament
when its team defeated the Hamilton
Higs by a score of 14-10. While the
game went without features, it was
hard fought by both sides with a
certain amount of roughness present.
Even though the game was not fast,
it was much enjoyed by the large
number of spectators.
Johnson and ,Ayers for the visitors
played a good game. Ward, for the
locals, led in number of points scor
ed while Peel played well.
The Hamilton boys have been play
ing under a handicap, but in the game
last night they held the lead for al
most a period when Ward forged a
hoad with two field throws for the
locals. From that time the visitors
played a defensive game.

What's Become
of ,the..County
Champ Series?!
The Martin County basketball
championship series might work out
after all, provided the games played
out of the series can be arranged so
as to count in the serial. Last week
was set as the time the preliminaries
were to be played, but a misunder-i
I standing made it impossible for cer
tain teams to nleet county opponents
that week. This week the tournament i
here interfered, but upon it the county 1
championship can partly be based. |
Rut any action will have to be arrang- ;
ed and settled by ' the' county athletic j
association.
While the result of the series could
! almost be determined without actual!
i play, it seems as if the teams have :
missed a good chance to build a basis'
upon which future championship se
ries might be played.
It is to be understood that no one |
be criticized as to the way of
the 'series, for it etm truly be said
that advancement along the sporting
line has been more noticeable thin
i year than in previous ones.
Without a doubt, Jamesville and
Everetts have the hotter boys' teams, j
| But it is hardly fair to center all the
attention upon two teams when there
are others in the making. Then there
is the doubt as to what school has the
Outstanding girls' team. From what
we can gather, the honor lies between
Robersonville and E' Who
knows ?,.
MAKES SPEECH IN BEHALF OF
I BILL FOR NATIONAL MEMORIAL)
Representative Lindsay Warren to
day made a speech in the House In
behalf of his bill for a national me
morial to the first ilight made by an
airplane, which occurred at Kitty
] llawk, North Carolina oil December
. 11, 1903 when Wilbur and Orville
I Wright startled civilization with their
I new invention. The speech of tho
I N&rth Carolina representative which
| was a carefully prepared address
caused a very favorable comment, and
' wan listened to with interest. He was
!■ assured by Speaker ' Loßgworth that
j he would be given an opportunity to
[ call up and pass the bill at this ses
sion. Senator Bingham of Connecti
cut, the co-author of the measure has
already spoken on same in the Senate,
■ and Representative La Gttardia of
New York, who was a noted aviator
lin the World War will speak in its
behalf tomorrow. If the bill should
become a law at this session, it is
doubtful if any appropriation can bs
secured until next December. The
; attitude of members is that the me
-1 niorial should be something notable
' and imposing.
