CEDARVILLE, OHIO# MARCH 22, 1918 PRICE, $1.00 A*YEAR CEDARVII,LE HIGH VICTORS IN COUNTY TOURNAMENT Team Brings Championship Cup Afte Defeating Old Rival'In Most Spectacular Game in History Of the Cqunty. CEDARVILLE BOYS ON FORM COULD BE CHAMPIONS IN THE STATE TOURNAMENT {PREPARING FOR THIRD LIBERTY LOAN WHICH STARTS APRIL Oth, Cedarville High. School basket ball team is now the possessor of the county chaippionnship cup won at the . tournament in Yellow Springs -last Saturday before a crowd estimated at 1000 people, ' The final game was the most spectacular Known in basket ball his- tory in this county. The remarkable feature was that by clever playing the' home1boys proved themselves superior in a game that resulted in no disputes or underhanded playing. Regardless of the fact that Ce- darville finished the first half by a score o f 29 to 7 in favor of Xenia, she entered the second half with a de-. termination to win the championship. For quick work that took all the pep out of the Xenia boys, the home team 'neared the final having run up a score to a tie, never,letting Xenia have another’ basket. The- last few seconds enabled the home boys to win the. last two points that made them champions for the yeah. It was a hard fought game but the best team won and, the loosers took itheir ' defeat gamely without criticism. ' Xenia had been1defeated earlier in the.season by the local team. The result of the game in which Cedarville figured were as follower . Defeated Bath by a score of 36 to 11. Defeated Osborn - 38-26. Defeated Jamestown 33-26. The following hoys comprised the team with substitutes, the first five being regulars: Win. Ensley, captain. Willis Cory, Howard Ault, Cecil Jef- Yjaes, Dewey Corn, manager; Slier- ley Eveleth, Roy Ensley and Charles - Townsley. The regular teajn is com­ posed of as go6d basket ball players as ever represented a Cedarville tiam and the substitutes are entitled to share in the great victory that was won Saturday, As basket throw­ ers Cory and„..„Jeffries have little trouble, in locating the spot 'at home or on a strange floor. Insley as cap- ■tain knows the game and always keeps the team working together. William Collins has been , the team coach and of course is to be com­ mended for his. efforts in developing the team in a professional way. The cup was on display ■in the Richards Drugstore window, for sev­ eral days where many admired it. Xenia having won second place twice consecutively becomes the owner of the cup^offered by Mr, Egoif o f the Springfield & Xenia traction cqih - Those who follow'basket hall dope are holding out that Cedarville Hi could be state champions if they had entered the state contest that came off at Delaware, Cedarville defeated Xenia in the greatest game of basket ball that ever was played on a floor in this county. Xenia defeated Steel by a good margin and Steel Is declared the state champions having won that contest at Delaware. Cedarville has Stivers defeated Steel in a dose game and Xenia defeated. Stivers.'

WINNING BASKET -BALL TEAM BANQUETED BY HIGH SCHOOL A number o f public spirited citi-1 zens met in .‘ the mayor's office last Friday evening to consider the ad­ visability of a chautauqua again this summer. Miss Dorns Langley, - of Tippecanoe City, representing the Coit-Alber Chautauqua. Co., was present and explained the contrail-, for this year and also the talent, was unanimous that we have another * •The sentiment of* those present chautauqua this summer. A motion carried that a contract be entered in­ to with the company on condition that fifty guarantors sign. Hereto­ fore most of the guarantors were se­ cured in the town, but this year the .township was to share part of the contract. ^Those having the soliciting in charge give encouraging reports es­ pecially in the township as very few in either -town .or township have re­ fused to sign. The fact that the required number had almost been reached as this mat­ ter goes into type means that we will have a chautauqua this year. In South Charleston m|>re than 100 men ’ signed tire guarantee, after having turned down the proposition last fall. Sentimental reasons alone should be argument for such an institution this summer*. A year ago the people were disturbed over the war. Today we find the nation patriotic to the core and- bending every energy to win the, struggle for .freedom. The chautauqua .institution is just what we heed during these times. It must, not be forgotten that England and France in the first years of the war closed down all amusements. It was not long Until the people began to brood and become downcast, The ban was lifted and the peoples o f these "Wq^tfcuQ&ies pun#* re tu rn ............... , j«w^><ima»fwii!^ _____ same time were more able to lend support to their country. FIVE HUNDRER HORSES . FOR ARMY DEAD The recognition of winnig the championship of the county the Ce- darvi le High School banqueted the victorious team Tuesday evening, more than 100 students, teachers and friends and members of the •board being present, The banquet was served utider the direction o f the- domestic science class and *their in­ structor, Misa Blanch Turnbull. A tabic was placed in the center of the gym and the members of the team. President Johnson of the Board, Prof. Fortney, .Prof; Parker, Wm. Collins, coach, and Dr, E. A. Rich­ ards, official scorckeeper, wore seat­ ed. In the center was the prize cup with Kewpies, representing the Ce- darville and Xenia teams, the red and white as victors and the white and blue as the defeated. The place cards were in the shape o f a loving cup, hand painted and tied with red and white ribbon. Eight of the high school girls pinned red „ and white carnations on the members o f the team while seated at the table. The other guests were seated about the gym and all were served a very dainty luncheon, A musical program preceeded the banquet there being piano solos by Mis3 Lucile Johnson and Shirley Eveleth. Miss Dorotha Oglesbee sang “Keep the' Home Fires Burn­ ing” and Miss Marjorie McClellan gave a musical reading. Toasts were given by Prof, Parker, President Johnson, Wm, Collins, Ed­ win Bradfute for the high school, while Wm. Insley responded for the team. ’tiA fancy necktie was present­ ed each member of the team by Messrs. Richards and Nagley. Prof. Fortney acted as toastmaster. The tables were cleared from the floor and a basket ball game was staged by> the faculty that proved a scream. Prof. Fortney and Prof. Parker each donned basket ball suits and took part in the game with the lady members of the faculty, who wore bloomers. The extremes were represented with Misses Rosa Stor­ mont and Esther Townsley as cent- ' ers for their respective ‘ teams. Miss Bertha Cresweli’s team was regarded aa the winner and Pfof. Siegler pre­ sented tin* loving cup which how­ ever, was a quart tin cup. The game was intended for a burljlsque but some o f the facultv members show-, ed quite a bit of talent as basket throwing. The girls of the sewing class .of the high School had on display a service flag which they made. On It were 3f> tars all representing mem­ bers of the high school alumni that One of the most mysterious things of the war was the recent death of 500 head, of-horses at the stock- yards at Covington, Ky., where the animals were unloaded to water and feed and rest before being sent to an Eastern port for' shipment to France for the use of the- American army. If poison was nsed the gov­ ernment chemists have been unable to find just what was used. Blood tests were taken and no disease was found. The loss to the government is placed at $625,000, LECTURE COURSE COMMITTEE. The result of. the balloting at the" last lecture course number resulted in the following committee being chosen for the coming year: Helen Patton, Helen Oglesbee, James Chesnut, n J. S. E. McMichaoI,, Prof. F. A. Jurkat, G. H, Hartman . The committee met for organiza­ tion last night and are now looking after talent for this winter NO CLUE LEFT AFTER TAKING MONEY While Mr. and Mrs, C. M. Ridgeway were in Cincinnati last Tuesday some­ one entered the drugstore and took $52 from the cash drawer and made their escape. Entrance was made by breaking the lattice on the rear porch of the residence which adjoins the store. So far as is known nothing dse was taken, although there was evidence that a search had been made through the house. Local talent is suspected and it is said the absence >f a party suspected may yet lead to :nd*ng the guilty one. 1,IGHT NOW A GARDNER. James M.

McKee, ‘ About twenty-five men interested ; in the banks, building associations : and newspapers of the county were entertained at the Grand Hotel, Mon­ day noon in the interest of the third Liberty Loan organization, S. S. Carothers o f the Fourth Fed­ eral Bank District was present and explained the campaign in detail. There will be district or township chairman working under the direction of the county chairman, Judge H. L. Smith. It is proposed to solicit each man and woman in the county. Few probably know it hut the pep cent of liberty bond holders hi the rural counties is very low. There is no excuse for this as buying a bond of the government is the only abso­ lute safe investment that can be pur­ chased without some chaaoe of loss; Whenever the government fails your seven per cent securities are worth­ less, so is your mortgage for with­ out the government you would have no power to realize on your mort­ gage, • ,1 The next loan is for six billion dollars and Greene county will be called upon to take $770,000 which is double the second loan. This is not impossible from the fact that the second loan subscription nearly"reach­ ed this figure and according to the more monev in the county today lhan last January when the previous'state­ ments were published. During the campaign which opens April 6th, the anniversary of Amer­ ica’s entrance-in the war, each town will have 'public speaking and have been promised the presence of soiup Canadian, French or English soldier right from the front who has been retired owing to disability. Thus the-' people will get information first hand. The dates will not be announced authoriative until next week.

The showings made to the ' public utilities commission In appeals for re­ lief by the public service corporations ■prove that many of them cannot con­ tinue operation unless rates are re­ adjusted, and none of them are re­ ceiving enough in return for service to permit expenditure for betterments or, ;extenslons. Steam roads having paralyzed busi­ ness by breaking down, causes appre­ hension that the electric roads, being 'subject to thd same war conditions, ^may suffer tho same fate.
