Basketball girls yes The L. 1 terday afternoon defeated the Plant City girls by the decisive score of 14 to H. Flushed with their recent victory over Dade City, the Plant City aggre- confident of taking lLakeland’s measure, a feat gation came up yesterday that no other team thus far has done, Plant City evidently had the edge on her and many were the dire pre- ictions heard on the side lines as to the outcome of the game. But no sooner had the fray begun when the crowd realized that Plant ('ity was doomed to i efeat. Playing like demons, the Plant City girls held the fast lLakeland bunch to the low score of 6 points for the first half. The second half exciting, when Lakeland points to Plant City's 4, final score 14 to 0. IBvery player on the Lakeland team was a star of no small magnitude, Judging by avoidupois alone, rival, even more scored 8 leaving the wias and many weoere the conzratulations they received after the game; one of thege in the form of an ice ercam treat by the menager.

Lakeland is now advertising for a man for this position and it is hoped that it will be successful in secur- ing just the sort of man desired. While that city does not, of course, require such high qualifications as are needed for a city the size of Dayton, the office is one calling for executive ability of the bhest type. Lakeland i8 not satisfied with the commission form in itself but it must also have a city manager to carry out the dircetions of the commission, This latest idea in municipal govern- ment will be watched with great in- terest as it is to be exemplified by our enterprising neighbor, and upon its results will depend much of the future of the commission idea in this State. The incident further shows that Florida is not to be found lagging far behind in the progressive pro- cession.,—Tampa Tribune, STUNTION [N UAREZ GROWS COMPLICATED THREE FOREIGNERS AN AMERI. CAN AND TWO ENGLISHMEN HAVE DISAPPEARED Feared They May Have Met Same Fate as Did Mr. Benton Tuesday Night (By Associated Press) El Paso, Feb. 21.— (Great anxiety is felt here today fer an American, Gustave Bauch, and two Englishmen named Curtis and Lawrence, who disappearedd in Juarez in much the same manner as William S. Benton, the English ranchmap who was ex- ecuted by the rebels. Bauch, it wae learned, had been held in jail and disappearedd from his cell last night. The two Englishmen dropped from sight when they went to Juarez om Wednesday to look after Benton. Ex- citement is still intense here today over Benton's death. Rebels Deny That Men Have Been Hatmed Kl Paso, Feb. 21.—The rebel au- thorities in Juarez slenied that any such men as Lawrence and Curtis had been arrested, and declared that Bauch had merely been transferred to another jail. He was held, they said, on a charge of aiding the fed- erals and probably would be released in a day or two.
