Commissioners Draw Civil Court Jurors Announce Panels of Jurors For Service In Common Pleas Cases Starting being listed for trial, the judges have arranged to hold five weeks of com- mon pleas court beginning on April 20. The delay in the trial of these cases, which has clogged the courts, is due to the action of attorneys who obtain cntinuances when the cases are called for trial. The judges will make an effoft to have the list disposed of at the com- ing term, and will hold four or five courts if necessary during these weeks. Jury Commissioners William K6 A. Llewellyn and P. J. Gallagher and their clerk, Elias Cohen, have drawn a list of eighty jurors for service each April term.

Tunkhannock, Meeker and Broadway are expected to enter league. Most managers are satisfied to keep the league strictly rural talent which proved successful last season, when four of the six clubs finished within & few points of each other. Idetown and Alderson were the weak clubs, but these teams may be allowed to strengthen up enough to compete with the others, which would give the fans good base ball throughout the league. ! Dallas will have the same line up {that won the pennant last season with ithe exception of a catcher, as Herb IRay, who has been with the club for the past five seasons, has announced (his retirement from base ball. It is |also possible that Jerry Fortner will {not be in the lineup as his business | may take him out of town. | The regulars who will start the sea- son are: Stitzer, Reese, Woolbert, {Griffith, Wilson, Culver, Lee and Labar, | with Slayzak, Saraka, Oliver, Hislop land’ Dick Coolbaugh en the rooky list. iSaraka played most of last season | With the club and showed enough stuff to warrant him a chance to beat out {such stars at. Morris, Labar; Reese and _ Wilson for an out-field position. = His only ‘draw back last season was being hit in the eye with a batted ball and - another time when he let Ira Morris use his shoes, which he claims has been a jinx to his hitting. ‘Any player [wishing a tryout with the locals may have an opportunity by getting in touch with the manager. 0 Lehman High School Girls Win Championship Closed Season Last Friday Night By a Victory Over Beaumont — Eleven Victories and But One Defeat Dur- ing the Season The girls basketball team of Lehman township high school closed its season last Friday evening by winning 39 te 19 over Beaumont. This eleventh vie- tory of the season in which the Leh- man girls have been defeated but once, brought the championship of the Bi- | County: T.eague. One feature of last Friday night's game was the true sportsmanship shown by both: teams and spectators. The referees were highly praised bw .|both coaches and principals for their skillfulness- in handling the games. | GENERAL.

ENTERTAINED CLASS General Pershing discloses the tre- mendous pressure brought to bear on him to brigade the American troops with the French, British and Italian armies. He describes the petty | jealousies between the European allies and allied politicians, and proves it with quotations from his official cor- respondence. It is the most sensational, and by far the. most important account of our cal report of military operations. = It participation in the World War that An All Bi-County League Team * First Team Position: -° ‘= “"Sécond Team - .

For the Season of 1930-1931 That's our all-scholastic basketball team. Take it or leave it. It makes no difference to. us! Any kind of an all team must be a matter of opinion. There is no way to determine it matha- matically. Therefore, the above team is named. Kutcha is a standby of the league, who enjoyed the best season of his career, is too clever to omit. Holmgreme, fast-moving forward, put up a sensational game. He is noted for his ability to intercept passes, and he has a way of keeping the ball mov- ing. Travis is the circuit's best at tap- ping. ¥e is a good shot when eutting for the ‘basket, but is ‘not “so .formid- able in battligg for.the ball. 2 Rowlands was a spotter man after the first few games. His . unusual shooting entitled him to the rating we gave him. : Coolbaugh is perhaps the smoothest player of all. He knows basketball and plays all departments well: SR Carey developed into one of the cir- cuits best playérs and it would be hard to keep him off the first team.
