AMHERST NEWS COMPANY
ANNUAL   MEETING   FRIDAY
The Lorain high cagera defeated the
local high outfit In the aecond tilt ot
the aeaaon at the local gym Saturday
evening before the largest crowd to
ever witness a cage contest In Amherst. The gym was filled to Its capacity and many were obliged to
stand. The number bf people present
was estimated at over 300.
The locals were defeated, however,
by a score ot 35-24, a margin of 11
points winning the game for Lorain.
When the locals Journeyed to Lorain
early In the season they were defeated by a margin of 11 points also. The
number "11" seems to be a "hoodoo"
to the locals as they have lost three
games in the past two years by 11
points.
The game Saturday evening was
fast and thrilling throughout and excellent snooting and guarding was exhibited by both teams.
The locals started out strong in the
first quarter when L. Neumeister
caged a foul goal and a field goal but
they were unable to keep up the good
work for the remainder ot the period
and Lorain took advantage of such an
opportunity and piled up a several
point lead. The second quarter was
the scene of Amherst again playing
good ball but they weakened and Lo
rain led by 14 points.
Coach Collins of Lorain gave his substitutes a chance In the third period,
but retaining one of hia first string
men on the floor to keep his substitutes In a fighting spirit. The second
string men were not strong enough
for the locals and he was obliged to
send in his first string men in the last
period.
L. Neumeister, of the locals, outpointed any man on the floor by making; eight field goals and two foul
goals for the entire game. T. Neumeister played a wonderful floor game and
had his opponents on the run throughout the entire game. Lelmbach, who
has been holding down the guard position on the local team, was out ot
the game on account of Illness and
his services were greatly missed.
McPhle, Lorain's husky center, was
held to one Held goal, which waa a
surprise to many fans as he has been
scoring between four and eight field
goals In most of the previous games.
,Horn, of the visitors, played his laat
game of the season Saturday night as
he graduated on the Wednesday evening previous to the game and his
four field goals aided his team In making a good showing on a foreign floor.
The local high girls were defeated
by the Brownhelm Independents In
the preliminary game by a score of
6 to 2. Neither team scored until the
last quarter and excellent guarding
was a feature of the game.

REPRESENTATIVES'
BILL INCLUDES VILLAGE MAIL DELIVERY
The following letter wus received
by Mayor J. J. Smythe today which
hows that the post olllce appropriation hill Includes provision for village
mall delivery, und the matter now
rests with the senate committee The
letter comes from Congressman A. B.
House, of Kentucky. -
Dear Mr. Mayor:
Your city Is One of the 752 in the
United States that has vi'lage mail
iellvory service. If the people of your
lty entertain the same opinion that
is held hy the citizens of the cities In
my district which enjoy village delivery service, I know they desire this
lervlce be continued.
Last Friday the House of Represen-
atlves passed the post ofllce appropriation bill and included an appropriation for this service. The bill Is now
before the senate committee, where I
hope the action of the House will be
sustained.
1 enclose her' with a copy of the
recommendation ot the postmaster
general to congress relative to this
service, and I would suggest that you
give this recommendation publicity,
and also that you and the friends of
this service ask your senators to sup
port the House provision.
Yours very truly,
A. B. ROUSE.
The following Is a copy of the recommendation made for the discontinuance of mail delivery in villages by
the postmaster general:
"This service was first authorized
as "experimental" In 1913, with an appropriation of $100,000. It was designed to provide for the delivery of
mail In communities not covered by
either city or rural delivery service.
"After the first year of Its experiment Its discontinuance was recommended on the ground thut Its ultimate extension to all offices of the
second-class with receipts befow $10,-
OUt) per annum, and to all third-class
offices, would Involve an annual cost
of $10,0t)0,0(iU. At that time the average  cost  per  office  was about $1,000

OUT OF THE GAME
The O. N Steel Masonic Lodge baa-
Ueteers of Cleveland took the Fllwer
agers' measure In a hotly contested
-.'nine played on tbe local floor last
Friday evening by a score of 34-22.
The Fords were not outclassed, however, as tbey had a winning combination on the floor, and hard-luck shots
were the cause of their defeat "Chippie" Bruce was unable to play tho entire game as he received injuries
while at work Friday. He went Into
tho game for three minutes in the laat
half and showed fine form, but hia
condition would not permit him to
play a further length of time. "Vsl"
Heggie was also on the bench for tho
greater part of the game and hta services as a floor man were greatly
missed.
Mitchell was the only scorer for tho
Fords in the first half, making four
field goals and one foul goal. The
remainder of the team played a good
game and their pass work enabled
Mitchell to cage the only pointa ia the
first bait.
Gregory, with three field goala,
Schneerer. with two and Coombs
with three foul goals wore the scorers
for the visitors iu the first half, mak-
u g a total lead ot four points when
the wheltle blew.
"Skinny" Leltenberger of tho locals
came to light In the last half and
scored three field goals, the flrat
points to be scored by him In tho
hUine. 'Val" Heggie, who substituted for Tu'ipan In the last half, cagod
two field goals, both of which were
long shots mude from the center of
tho floor and going through the cage
without touching the rim. Bruce, who
substituted for Leltenberger, made
one field goal In the three minutes ho
was in the game. Mitchell caged one
foul goal out of three chances in the
last half, making a total of 22 pointa
for the entire game.
Schneerer, of the visitors, was the
big scorer, making six field goala In
the last half. Coombs, the bosky forward, made hia first field goals of the
game when he caged tour difficult
goals, one of which was made with
his back to the basket and a man
guarding him. Gregory, who was the
chief scorer in tbe first half, was held
to one field goal in tbe last. He, however, played an excellent floor game
and many of Coomb's and Schneer-
er's goals came from his direct passes
to them.

Are you a wife, mother, sister or
laughter of an ex-service man? Does
that ex-service man belong to ths
Legion? Yes. Then why don't you
belong to its Auxiliary?
We are receiving applications for
membership now. Get in touch with
one of the officers. Be a member of
what is going to be the largest woman's organization in the country—possibly in the world.
Tho Great War is too near to realize Its true significance, and so is the
Legion and Its Auxiliary too new an
organization to realize ita Importance.
It Is still In its Infancy. Work of organization is still going on.
In generations to come won't yon
be proud to think you helped build the
foundation of so great a body? Those
of you who belong to a woman'a order
of veterans of past wars, aren't yon
proud? So It will be with the American Legion and its Auxiliary.
Only an ex-service man can belong
to the Legion, and so only can a wlfs,
mother, sister or daughter of an
American Legion member or of a man
who died in the service of his country in the Great War, belong to the
American Legion Auxiliary.
Give  It a moment's  thought,  then
