3 Feature—Chel
wus Players pro
Batesville High Wins.
The boys and girls of the New
port High School went to Bates
ville yesterday and played the
High School boys and girls there
a game of football and also a
game of basket ball.
Newport lost both games but
the girls certainly played win
ning ball
Batesville has a fine team, the
strongest the home girls have
played this year, and but for a
little nervousness on the part of
one or two of our home girls the
game might have been different.
Miss Lottie Ballew, right guard
of the Newport team, was decid
edly the star throughout the
game.
Miss Julia Younger was the
star at tossing goals.
The score was tied during the
last five minutes of play and
time was called just as Bates
ville threw a free throw, the se
cond they had made during the
game.
Many of the on-lookers were
loud in their praise of the excel
lent team work of the Newport
girls, in fact every player on
both teams played good and
clean ball.
The Batesville people said it
was the hardest fought and
cleanest played game ever play
ed in that city.
Following is the line up and
score:
NEWPORT.

The football game went tc
Batesville by 38 to 0
The boys realized that their
chances against the Batesville
boys were slim, as they were al
a very great disadvantage ir
weight.
The game was snappy frorr
the very start. This will prob
ably be the last of football foi
this season.
The boys and girls returnee
loudly praising the teams o
Batesville for their courteou:
treatment.

POLITICS INVOLVED
IN CRUSHER SUIT
i _
Commissioner Dye Says Rock
Crusher Concerns and Politi
cians Are To Blame.
1 Special to Independent
Little Rock, Dec. 13.—The
i State Highway Commission has
not yet filed its answer in Pulas
iki chancery court in the injunc
| tion proceedings brought by
; Fred Holder, a Little Rock tax
j payer, to prevent the operation
: of the rock crusher. Chairman
jR- G. Dye of the State Highway
Commission says:
“The rock crusher is still at
| work, crushing rock. It is not
I engaged in commercial business,
except in so far as it may be nec
essary to sell a small portion of
its product in order to keep the
plant in continuous operation,
so as to furnish crushed stone
for public improvements at cost
of production as the demand for
it comes in. The rock crusher is
no more engaged in commercial
business than is the state in the
rasing of cotton and corn on the
state farm. In fact, not so much
because we are in competition
with only the other rock crush
ing plants operated here. There
is a lot of politics in this suit,
but it was injected by outsiders
to serve their own political
ends.”
