The first quarter ended with spectacular playing. Slides were even 2 to 2. It seemed as if the locals could not end the court. After the second quarter stalled, the local lads got into action. They piled up the score stealthily until the final whistle. Swarthe made ten of the points but not playing up to par. Sweet showed up very well and looked very encouraging to the coach. Dargatz and Shea share their centers as centers. Stroschelm made the only point for the visitors.

SARGUM PROOUTINGS Beauty Boy, Joe Benjamin got back into the good graces of the Vernon fight fans by putting up a real fight against Johnny Donnell. Joe found that he was not good enough to enter the ring all out of condition and beat a boy like O'Donnell, when they met several weeks ago, so Joe forgot his beauty parlor stuff long enough to get into condition. Joe can fight but his connection with Jack Dempsey's training cam pand the advertising therefrom gave the pretty boy the swell head. He conceived the idea that he could easily defeat any of the ordinary boys without half trying, but O'Donnell taught him differently. Their fight of Tuesday evening proved that Benjamin in condition is a better boy but the margin is not very great. If I don't miss my guess there will be more than one manager kick himself for letting Doty Bush slip by. Doty does not show up his real worth. His actions are deceiving but the ground he covers proves him to be a man of action. About the only chance for him to fliver is to get a Babe Ruth brain storm and think he is better than he is. There have been no signs of the swell head about Doty so far, and there is no reason why he should develop a case. With practice his battling will improve. He connects nicely now. He meets the ball solidly and it travels. Several of the coast clubs will be in need of just such a boy as Doty a few months hence. But for Doty's own good, Denver is the place. He is almost sure to be a regular and regular playing what Doty needs more than anything else. Doty can make a fortune out of his ability if he but holds his head and manages PACIFIC LEAGUES "MAKING READY" SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18—Fur soon will be flying in the Pacific Coast baseball league. If the San Francisco Seals, who pomped to victory last season, repeat this year, look out. More fur will fly than Hudson Bay ever saw. Should the Seals climb up on the pennant-winning rocks early in the season and bask there all summer, what a howl the fans will raise. The hue and cry will be heard from Vernon to Puget Sound. Quite a few of the owners of clubs in the league said last season the reason they caught the Seals' dust was that they weren't permitted to take players from the majors. But now the draft fight is settled and the fans are sobbing for action. Harmony prevails between the majors and the minors. But are the coast league clubs getting any new players? Tis said not; so one could notice it. The season opens in April, leaving only a short time for obtaining of new material. At this time last year, ball players were not to be had for money, with a lot of love thrown in. Now the woods are full; they are almost a drug on the market. Pacific coast club owners, needing material, can't alibi now that players are not to be had. Their name is legion—as offers to the owners evidence. Tilly Walker, the outfielder turned loose by Connie Mack, nearly caused Oscar Reichow of the Angels to fall over in a faint the other day, when he submitted his terms. "He must think we're the bloomin' Bank of England," was the wall set up by the Angels. Walker would no doubt be taken by the Seals, except for the fact that the San Francisco club is well supplied with outfielders.

Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Jan. 18—A pound of flesh made Shylock an immortal and tonight at Madison Square Garden it may remake Johnny Wilson middleweight champion of the world. The title will hang by a gossamer thread thrust up 15 rounds as Wilson, a legitimate middleweight and strict discipline of the stern taskmaster Training, takes another whirl at Harry Greb, champion of the division by the grace or agility and the dry-out process. Greb is neither a legitimate middleweight nor attri trainer and perhaps the ghost of a fighting Ketchel will look down on the scene with a reminiscent smile. Ketchel is the only man within memory of mortal man to regain a middleweight championship once lost. Wilson is no Ketchel. As a matter of fact he is quite an ordinary fighter. Yet he is a merciless body puncher, a tough citizen and can make the 160 pound limit today with hob nailed boots on. Greb will be shaved down to bedrock to reach that poundage. After a double workout yesterday he was within a single pound of the prescribed limit, but Shylock himself could have been no more merciless than a set of scales. It is a most question as whether that single pound plus the others parsed off by Greb in preliminary training, will not mean the difference between a championship and abacication. A number of critics are of the candid belief that Greb is due to be divorced from his title, but at that, the odds remained today at 6 to 5 in favor of the Pittsburgh entry. It is probable that they will go to even money at the ringside. With all his mediocrity Wilson is a most dangerous challenger. To his legitimacy of weight and careful lifting he has added a touch of aggressiveness since the loss of the title to Greb last year. Tilly Walker, the outfielder turned loose by Counie Mack, nearly caused Oscar Reichow of the Angels to fall over in a faint the other day, when he submitted his terms. "He must think we're the bloomia' Bank of England," was the wall set up by the Angels. Walker would no doubt be taken by the Seals, except for the fact that the San Francisco club is well supplied with outfielders. Paul Carter, right-handed hurler of late with the Cubs and last season with Kansas City, has been offered coast clubs, as have Walter Barbara, former manager, and Lee Dempsey, first baseman, formerly with Victoria. They were with Toledo last year. Barbara is a good ball player. Charles Hall, former Seattle pitcher, will again hurt on the coast. Walvers have been obtained on him by the St. Paul club, and he will be traded to Sacramento for Paul Fittery, a south-paw. This is Hall's third start on the coast. First he was with Seattle, then he went to the Boston Red Sox and finally played with Los Angeles and St. Paul. "Shovel" Hodge, pitcher, has signed a 1924 Seal contract. He won 18 games last season. Dartmouth and Orange Trackmen Meet May 10 SYRACUSE, Jan. 18—Syracuse University's track team will meet the Dartmouth team at Hanover, N.H., on May 10, and will also be sent on a southern trip. Manager Renard Adams announced. The scheduled meet will comprise all outdoor track and field events. This year's chart, both indoor and out, will be bigger than last year. Manager Adams said. The headline events of the indoor season will be the Millrose A. C. games at New York Jan. 29 and 30; the Boston A. A. games at the Hub Feb. 3, and the inter-collegiates at New York near the end of the indoor season. Several dual meets are also being secured, both for this winter and for the spring. One of them will be the annual meet with Colgate. Negotiations with other prospective opponents are still in an embryonic but promising stage.

HUMAN SACRIFICES TO CROCODILES OF NILE From time immemorial, the overflowing of the Nile banks, and the consequent flooding of vast stretches of flat land, has been an ever present terror with the inhabitants of Egypt, who through centuries of pagan superstition looked upon the crocodiles that infest the Nile as sacred gods of the river, whose wrath could only be appeased by human sacrifices. The terrible custom of throwing young virgins to these monsters, in the belief that this would cause them to save the country from flood, was commonly practised during the reign of the Pharaohs. Frequent references are also made to it in the history of Cleopatra, and her sister Berenice. In "The Dancer of the Nile," the superb photodrama founded on an actual incident in the life of Tut-ankh-amen, recently revealed by the discovery of extraordinary documents in the great monarch's tomb that lies in the Luxor Valley of Kings, a powerful climax is reached through the depicting of one of these awful ceremonies, at which Arvia, a beautiful young dancer who has incurred the displeasure of Pharaoh's daughter, is the victim. The stirring manner in which she is saved from the jaws of terror by the officiating High Priest, who is her own father, forms a situation that for thrilling suspense has seldom been equalled in a motion picture. "The Dancer of the Nile," produced in this country, with an all American cast which can boast such popular artists as Carmel Myers, June Elvidge and Malcolm MacGregor, is a masterly production with a well developed and intensely entertaining dramatic plot.

Neely, professor constitutional history and law, a recent chapel service. Judge Neely made no attempt to influence the sentiment of the students in any way, simply outlining the plan in order that it might be thoroughly understood. ballot box was placed in front Holmes hall, in order that those interested might register their decision, for or against the vote. This vote resulted in a total of 217 ballots being cast, of which four failed to vote either by one or two students voted. Four of these were legal voters and six non-voters. There were 193 students who voted, 64 of whom were voters and 39 non-voters. This made a to-vote in favor of the Bok peace plan of 203 against 10 opposed. Of the faculty also voted at this time, all of whom registered themselves in favor of the plan, in looking over the ballots, it is noticeable that they represented the outstanding leaders of the student body, and the vote may be considered representative of the attitude of the student body generally. 'RENO' TESTS WALSH'S ABILITY AS A BOXER One of the three greatest athletes on the screen, and one of the greatest long-distance swimmers in America, is Geo. Walsh, who recently signed a long-term contract with the Goldwyn Pictures Corp. He plays a leading role in Goldwyn's new Rupert Hughes picture on divorce, "Reno," which opens at the California today. Walsh has had a varied career, both as athlete and actor. He is a graduate of Fordham and of Georgetown university, where he was one of the leading athletes in this university that has long been noted for athletes. After leaving college, in 1915, Walsh got his first work in pictures under the direction of D. W. Griffith, who was at that time directing "Intolerance." The future screen star learned a great deal under Griffith. It is the most natural thing in the world that Walsh should have two close friends in such athletes as Douglas Fairbanks and Jack Dempsey. Fairbanks and Walsh in particular have spent many hours together in practicing feats of agility and strength. Jack Dempsey records Walsh's ability as a boxer. There are 193 students who voted in 64 of whom were voters and 20 non-voters. This made a to-vote in favor of the Bok peace plan of 203 against 10 opposed. Of the faculty also voted at this time, all of whom registered themselves in favor of the plan. In looking over the ballots, it is noticeable that they represented the outstanding leaders of student body, and the vote may be considered representative of the attitude of the student body generally. From the slight reports already on the Bok peace plan, it is evident that the Pomona college, with its tremendous major in favor of the plan, represents the general sentiment of educational institutions all over the country. "TOUCHED" FOR $15 Paul Nichols, living near Fulton, is reported to have been touched" for $15 the other night by two women who came out blind him, and says that should never see them again he would able to identify them. Walsh comes of a famous Irish family which long had its ancestral home in the County Roscommon, Ireland. Thomas Walsh, George's father, against the wishes of his parents, married Jose Maria del Campillo, daughter of a member of the Spanish diplomatic corps. George inherited the long been noted for athletes. After leaving college, in 1915, Walsh got his first work in pictures under the direction of D. W. Griffith, who was at that time directing "Intolerance." The future screen star learned a great deal under Griffith. It is the most natural thing in the world that Walsh should have two close friends in such athletes as Douglas Fairbanks and Jack Dempsey. Fairbanks and Walsh in particular have spent many hours together in practicing feats of agility and strength. Jack Dempsey regards Walsh as the greatest boxer among screen actors. His prowess in boxing is put to a severe test in the hand-to-hand struggle with Lew Cody on the edge of the "Giant Geyser" of Yellowstone Park in "Reno." The fight is difficult and spectacular in the extreme. The courtship of Thomas Walsh and Maria Campillo reads like an F. Marion Crawford romance. Forbidden to see her by her distinguished father, who placed her in a convent apparently beyond his reach, the resourceful young Irishman eventually succeeded in stealing her from the very gates of the convent, and claimed her as his bride. Two sons were born to the union, which was very happy. R. A. Walsh, the elder son, is a successful director. POSTPONE OPENING OF SUBDIVISION It was stated in yesterday's issue that the Homewood subdivision, a beautiful development of Buena Park, situated right in that town, would have the opening sale Jan. 27.
