Pittsburgh's athletically-minded public will be presented with what has every appearance of an excel- lent game when the high school's girl basketball team engages Sar- anac Lake high school's girl team on Friday night. It will be an Adirondack Interscholastic League game and will start at eight o'clock. The scene will be that familiar battle-ground, the high school gymnasium. The Plattsburgh girls got off to an excellent start, defeating Tup- per Lake 24-16. The team had every indication of being the sen- sation of the league this year, and it has yet as far as that goes. But on Friday night it evidently ex- perienced one of those off-nights, one of those nights which every team sooner or later undergoes. Meeting the girls of Lake Placid on their home court, the Platts- burgh girls lost a 27-9 decision. The defeat at Placid Friday night i at Lake Placid. N. Y.. Feb.

H.TcOURT Mount Assumption Institute Only Team To Defeat Last Year's State Champion The path to the championship of the Essex County League is not High School. Mineville is defend- ing the championship of the league this season and rests in first place. On Friday night Mineville oppos- ed Ticonderoga and despite the fact that it was playing on its home court and with no \hostile spectators' managed to defeat Ti. The score was 17-16. Friday night's contest was only one of its many kind in the Essex County circuit this season. At no time during the season has Mine- ville been really certain of winning. Only its ability to remain playing when things looked darkest kept it I in the running. j Last season's \Red Flame\ s' LAKE PLACID CLUB, N. Y., Jan. 18 — Joyous barks of excite- ment and the squeak of sled run- ners over dry snow are heard dh all paths around Lake Placid these days while sled dog teams undergo daily training for the 4th Annual Lake Placid Club Sled Dog Derby scheduled for January 23-2*, An owner who has had trouble keeping his pet dog at home would despair over these sturdy sled dogs who travel 20, 30, 50 or, under the spur o fnecessity, 80 or even 100 miles at at stretch. Also they travel by train. In order to attend the races some of the teams have come from far distant places. International Entries Among entries expected in Leon- hard Seppala, famous driver and musher from Fairbanks, Alaska. From the Laurentian foothills in the Province of Quebec Harry Wheeler will bring his racing team. Owing to a mishap while hunting this fall Mr. Wheeler will not be able to drive this year, but will at- tend the races while another drives his team. Walter Channing of Boston, founder and former presf- dent of the New England Sleg Dog Club, the organization that placed the sport in the roster of amateur- ism in this country, arrived to| Lake Placid Club last Wednesday! with two racing teams and has; been training daily to defend the title he won here last year, when he succeeded in defeating the al- most-invincible Seppala by a nar- row margin of minutes, thru thick j falling snow. Mrs. E. P. Ricker, Jr., of Poland Springs, Maine, well known woman I driver of dog teams, who has been •receiving further fame as author and magazine writer is expected to be among those present.

Fine Weather Conditions Racing conditions in Lake Pla- cid are better this year than they have been any time since the an- nual derby was started. Twenty- five inches of snow lie on the ground and no ice is exposed. Of- ten if rough ice is on the route, ra- cing dogs have to be shod with moccasins to protect their feet. Will Return for Olympics Sled dog racing is a sport pe- culiar to this continent and almost unknown in Europe. It has mounted steadily in popularity and has become so prominent in Am- erican sports annals that sled dog racing is one of the two demon- stration events carded for the 3d. Olympic Winter Games at Lake Placid in 1932 when we shall show foreign visitors the best in winter sports in America. Therefore culiar interest adheres to the Lake Placid Club derby this week-end, which will be the only competition between these leading racers in this Olympic region until the Olympic year. OAKLAND, Cal., Jan. 19 Ernest Lombard!, giant catcher of the Oakland Baseball Club was sold to the Brooklyn Nationals for a sum reported not less than $50,- 000 plus two players. Oakland officials said the two players were Henry Deberry, veter- an catcher, and Eddie Moore, who played both at second base and in the outfield for Brooklyn last sea- son. Lombard! is 22 years old and is a heavy hitter, having an average of .377 in 1928; .366 in 1929 and .370 last year. BROKEN WRIST MAKESJTAR OF HIM CHICAGO, UP) — Adversity frown ed on Sidney Yates, Chicago bas- ketball star, a year ago, but he turned it into a broad smile of suc- cess. Yates broke his right wrist and was forced off the Midway five. His mates thought he was \through\ with the net game, but not Sidney. With his right arm in a cast, he spent hours tossing baskets with his left arm. The response was slow, but he's back this year, a two. hand- ed basket tosser. In early season games he used both hands equally well and Chicago won its games. Rangy and fast Yates demonstrat ed his worth against two tough foes Ohio Wesleyan and Marquette. In the Wesleyan game Sid netted seven from the floor and three\ drop ped in during the Marquette fray. The first indication, however, of Yates' new ambidexterity came in pre-season tilts. Yates not only showed his right wrist was entirely strong again, but with both hands pumping, dropped in 25 goals from scrimmage in five games. Municipal golfers of Atlanta played 179,271 nine-hole rounds on the four city-owned courses in 1930 for whichthe y paid $44,817.75.

I Buyers of fire insurance indirectly but actually contribute a vast sura—approximately $3Q,-. 000,000 annually—through\ taxes, most of which are of a special nature, additional to the regular taxes borne by insurance com- panies in common with olher lines of industry. The original purpose of special taxes upon insurance was to maintain state supervision,' but such supervision uses but four cents of each dollar. The balance soes into the general funds of the states. These special taxes and the taxes upon prop- erty which insurance companies pa/ in common With ail other owners of property are factors in the cost of fire insurance.
