the down ex Capt Harry Tyrie In one of the most exciting struggles of Che season In the Spalding Independent basketball league Regals surprised' and everyone else by trimming them with a margin of 5 points A large amount of credit is due the college boys as luck had little to do with the' result every point being gathered through hard work pluck and perseverance The defeat lnlls Yi to second place and unless Re gals can repeat the feat in their game with ranklin the latter team will probably annex rhe cup There are but more series to be played and results will be closely watched particularly the ranklin Regal contest on riday March 20 upon which the rank position in the standing will greatly depend Each of these teams has taken a game from the other Next week the clubs hook up as Regals and St: John Maroons ranklin and Holy Redeemer Grcvs Heston and A Ot scries the Regal game was the stellar feature the others being too one slued to oe interesim i first of these played by ranklins and Maroons terminated in a 38 to 13 score for the Cornier Brown was the real star of the tame scoring 7 from the Groves and Merker contributed 4 each The Maroons put up a hard game but could not break the team play of the 'winners who still bold the same steady style which has been instrumental in landing them at the top of the column Meeker and itzgerald let few field goals get by them and it was 7 from the free line that padded the Maroon score It appeared there was something doing us soon as the second game was fairly on its way boys always play a fast game and their work in this contest was no exception But it was evident from the way Regals waded in from the start that they fully expected to come off better than second best and knew that nothing could be accomplished by soldiering They were continually on the jump and the erstwhile leaders had nothing on them at any stage of the game McDare Does Great AA'ork Through the brilliant work and untiring efforts of one McDace supplemented by the able assistance of several teammates the Regals were successful Capt McDace guard and scored 14 of the 30 points i incidentally preventing Hardy a hard man to cover from scoring Hanrahan did most of scoring getting 7 from the 'court but owing to the close playing of the Regals team work was all to the wrong and the forwards could do little to help their captain in the scoring Dupuis Company Will Build Michigan Alkali Co Work on the new dock for the Michi gan Alkali Co at ord just above Wy andotte will "begin at once The con tract has been awarded to the A Du puis

in the river defines his position as fol lows: the manner of storing it is absolutely essential to the car rying on of work on the new Living stone channel this year that 60 tons of dvnamite' be within easy reach of the contractors I propose to divide this four parts ifteen tons will be stored on Pow der island lying mid way between Bois Blanc and Stony island An equal amount will be stored on each of two islands to be constructed op posite the Canadian shore below Powder island and on' one island above Powder island not consider 15 tons a quan tity of dvnamite isolated as it is and stored in a bullet proof con crete building sufficient to cause danger to life or property on any of the islands has been propo' that all of the 60 tons of dynamite be stored on an island to be constructed in the river near the Canadian shore off Barr Point I ran see no reason why the entire risk should be shoul dered onto the Canadian farmers instead of being minimized by an equal division among all of the river Parker general manager of the White Star line states to Col Townsend that neither liis line nor the Detroit Belle Isle erry company for which he was authorized to speak would
