World's Gamest Man Discovered At Louisville LOUISVILLE. March 30. A man who was game enough to Impersonate Charles W. Murphy was on display here today. He was located at one of the hotels.

He had been telling the natives that ho wus the real thing and that he was here to meet Charles P. Taft. Still some of the Louisville citizens Insisted that some of the Chiragoans who knew Mr. Murphy take a look at the gent. Ho was seen and one glance was sulflclrnt.

He looked like the former Chicago Cub boss. He was chubby and he had a mustache like Murphy, but there the resemblance ceased. His hair was gray and he did not' for a moment deceive those who knew the original. He wised up In a hurry, too. One of the men to whom he had represented himself as Mr.

Says $20-Dollar Bills are Jitneys ST. LOflS. March 30. Robert HedRes. owner of the Browns, says that l-'O bills are loose change for a magnate today.

Hedges has Just returned tn St. Louis after laboring to keep Walter I-everenz, Heorge Batimgardner and Ous Williams with the Browns. "It Is well to have an assortment of 1.000 notes, spiced with a few five hundreds and an occasional century. If you hope to accomplish your purpose these days." says Hedges. "Your "cash on hand' account must, by all means, be the biggest entry In your list of assets.

Otherwise you may wake up without a ball club." Cam THE TOOL MAN A. T. VaaDerveort Sobs Laislif baskets are placed not less than three feet above the water and must be fixed so that the ball will remain inside when the ball is tossed in. The ball shall be made of rubber and eight inches in diameter. The teams consist of live players, as in ordinary basketball.

Sticking, as they do, close to the regulation rules for basketball, the gamo does not present any complicated situations, and should meet with much favor as it becomes hotter known. Such a game would do much to furnish sport for the men who spend much time In the pool, especially during the spring term, when a good swim is enjoyed. 77i General eaytt "There are real guarantees, also talk imitations" There are a lot of guarantees offered on roofinjjs. Most of them are by irresponsible people or merely conversational guarantees. It's a very important thing in a guarantee that there should be responsibility, and that it should be in writing.

Certain-teed 2ulitT rt-ifioi Roofing Durability Guaru-eof Since we have been giving a regular written guarantee on Certain-teed Roofing, one class of competitors has been saying that their roofing "will generally last twenty years, or longer." They don't guarantee it, however, at all. It' very easy to talk, talk, talk and say any number of years in such talk, but responsible concerns must know all about their roofing if they do any more than talk they must know their roofings really do last when they sign a printed guarantee of plain requirements that the roofing shall make good. -tO( course, the irresponsible type those who are likely to go out of business soon can sign anything. It's very important that the buyer should not be caught in such a trifling manner. Another very important thing is, these tal guarent ees are offered on the cheapest goods the manufacturers make; not being real guarantees, there is no risk.

They say nothing about their highest priced brands andqualities just offer the cheapest thing they have offeratalk euarantee oncheap poods equal to the real guarantee given on I Cerim-teed Roofing. It I tunny how many people they catch on such things When you buy a piece of roofing you should know and know in writing that it it the best quality best brand goods made by that manufacturer. Remember make him put this in writing, that it is his best in every way, and then have the guarantee in writing and properly signed, too. It pays to be careful in buying goods where the quality could not be judged by the sample where everything must depend upon the standing and ability of the manufacturer to make good over a long period of yean in the future. Certain-teed Roofing as sold at a reason-able price everywhere by dealers who believe in giving unsurpassed quality at a fair profit.

The amount of Cerfqfn-teed Roofing required for an average roof, say ten squares, will cost lest than 15 over the cheap mail order grade. This small initial cost it saved many timet in the fifteen years wear which it covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. General Roofing Mfg. Co. TMd fofJdittff papttrm K.

A. and promises, among the patrons of tho college pool, to become In time a very popular sport, promising fun and plenty of exercise to tho participants as well us sport for the witnesses not encaged.

The Holead in its last issue has this to say of the new game: The water performers of Asbury park, and other eastern seaside resorts, t. i time ng rtevlnod a game of "water basketball," with rules much the same as those In the regular game. The game was tried out and rose into remarkable popularity in a very short tlmo, taking tho place of water polo completely. The fact that the game can be played in tho bath house pool makes it interesting to many M. A.

C. swimmers. The rules of the game, stated briefly, are as follows: The gamo of water basketball is made up of four playing periods of live minutes each, with a rest of ren minutes between the second nnd third quarters and a rest of three minutes between the lirsi and second, third and fourth quarters. Tho teams change baskets at the beginning of the third quarters. The referee puts tho ball in play by throwing It up between the two centers from the side of the pool.

The hall Is out of bounds when it crosses the boundary lines. Tho bail is then placed in play at center. The hall is put in play at the beginning of each quar ter by the referee. In case of a tie the game is continued until one side scores two additional points. A goal from the Held counts two points.

If tho whistle blows as the boll gees into the next, the goal counts. A foul gives the opposing team one point. The foul rules state that holding an opponent under water as a foul. Two players cannot play i gainst one opponent. Taking more than throe strokes ahead before pass ing the ball is also a violation of the rules.

All goals must he thrown from the field of play. A player can not Jump or hold on to a basket, sides of pool or any obstacle while trying for a goal. The scrimmage rules state that the hall must not he carried out of sight of the referee and the ball is desd at the judgment of the referee. Time may taken out when a player is disabled or when the ball is damaged, and a player may only call for time once in each quarter. If this rule is violated tho player is not allowed to play.

i In the game or water basketball the referee is the superior officer of the game. The duty of an umpire is to call fouls, while the duties of a timekeeper and the scorer remain the same as in ordinary basketball. The Ypsilanti Normal Schedule By Associated Frees. YPSILANTI. March 30.
