The fair does not close until to- night and no manual labor can be obtained for Sunday, o the pros- pects for having enough clear space for the ball tossers to do their chores by Monday is far from bright. The worst of it is that no bathing facili- ties are available for the ball tossers. The space under the grandstand where their lockers formerly were lo- cated has been cut up into cubby- hole dressing rooms for the circus performers and before the athletes can move in the temporary partition will have to be torn down and re- . placed, electric light and plumbing connections made nd fixtures for heating water installed.

BASKET BALL SECRETS By Sol Metzg When Your Men Are Covered. Fe W 10 THIS - Bl tndyy— NOT THIS On certain occasions some play- ers forget a most obvious fact. It is that the other team cannot pos- sibly score it your team has pos- session of the ball. One of these occasions is when & player has worked the ball up past the center of the court, is covered himself, and his teammates ahead are not clear. Then he should pass it always to a team- mate behind him who is clear, as pictured in the above illustration, rather than pass it forward to a teammate who must first fight in order to receive it, as in the illus- tration below. Good basket ball is being played when a team is compelled to pass the ball into the back court for the purpose of starting to work it forward again. Don't ever forget that. WATT DEFEATS CROUCH.
