The game was fast in spots, both teams showing up brilliantly at times. The Methodists established a lead at first, but the Baptists worked hard and managed to keep the score where Is might prove dangerous to the Methodists. The line-up was as follows: Meth odists Hansen, center; Cornell ana Presley, forwards; Harmon and Mar tin, guards; Ament and Fallln sub stituted for Cornell and Harmon. Baptists Twllliger, center; Smith and Douglas, forwards; Teel and Mc Cracken, guards; Pettlnger substi tuted for Teel.

He acts as coach for the practices and as referee at the games, and makes the boys play bag ketball all the time.

A Rogue Valley lleet Evidences of the establishment of a new industry ln the Rogue valley are seen In the activities ln the va rious stores, and tools and Imple ments used In beet culture are now displayed in the show windows. One of the most novel displays was that of the Grants Pass Hardware store, where a giant beet, remarkable ln the naturalness of Its appearance, was displayed In the window sur rounded by the hand tools used In beet culture. The deception of the big beet was aided In the fact that a head of kale supplied natural foliage for the artificial vegetable, and some were fooled into believing that it was a real sugar producer. An Inscrip tion gave the Information that the beet was "raised by Jackscrews."

Jeffries Former champion boxer of the world, in the fascinating, red-blooded, interest-teeming feature in 5 reels Of E (Uy fulled Press Leased Wire.) Now York, Feb. 9. The 5,35 8-ton British pusscnger liner Orlssa, plying between South America and England, Is believed today to be at the bottom of the oceau, a victim of a Ueruiau commerce raider. The report that thla vessel had been destroyed arose from a London cable to a Wall street firm, saying that "a large passenger steamer had met with a terrible accident In the north Atlantic." The Orlssa was last heard from at Rio do Janeiro nearly a month ago. Shipping men are convinced that German raiders have sunk or cap tured several British vessels In addi tion to the seven captured with the liner Appam In mid-January. The British admiralty has In structed liners to watch out for raid ers, and while, ofllrers scoffed at the possibility of danger, shipping circles are more concorned over the marl time situation than at any time since the Lusltanla was sunk. W. D. Evorth, second officer of the BrttiHb steamer Author, bolieves that German raiders are ln or en route to the Gulf of Mexico to waylay Brit ish ships. He declared that the Ger man raider which accompanied the Appam part way across the Atlnntlc might easily have encountered the Orlssa, being not more than 500 miles away from Norfolk when the Appam docked. Shipping circles were boslogcd for Information all day concerning the Orlssa, but they had no news; more over, correspondents' cables to Lon don remained unanswered. Tho Pacific Steam Navigation com pany, owners of the Orlssa, said they had no word of hor sir.ee January 10, though she was due ln Lisbon Janu ary 26 and in Liverpool February 1. She carried probably not over 60 pas sengers, the company said, but did not know whether Americans were aU)hri. Most of the crow were Brit ish. Fears are folt here for at leant seven big British and French liners and sevoral Cunard freighters, now at sea. LEGISLATOR WOULD DANISH DOGS FOU nAIUES Albany, N.
