To the Editor Home Owners Con-
test, the Times:
The home owners letters appear
ing in your paper have caused me
to wonder how many young men
have become imbued with the erro-
nepus idea that as homes are 80
easily acquired after marriage, why
the necessity of investing in one
now! Careful perusal of these let
ters, however, convinces one that
the writer's experienced some hard
ships and perplexities in thir coura-
gous efforts to gain homes.
Why should not every young man
save a stipulated amount of his
earnings and invest in a future
home? Money which otherwise
might all be frittered away in ci-
gafs, theater tickets, gift boxes, etc.
Sensible girls appreciate a young
mans saving qualities more than his
extravagances. He is benefited in
every way, mentally, morally and
physically, making him an invalu-
able citizen to our progressive Ia
coma.
For several years before our en-
gagement. Herbert reserved part of

the score. Miller was the star basket
eager for the losers.
The first half started off with a rush.

for the first goal. Mccarthy followed
this one up with another from the CEN

managed to score twelve points. Nc

knowing his opponents. he seldom placed
the ball where the batter desired it, He
wasted little time trying to master de-
cCptive . curves, depending upon his
speed, change of pace. and control to
serve the ball where it WAS not wanted.
Before he started his winning streak
RadbOurn was shown an agreement.
signed by the club owner agreeing to
give him his unconditional release at the
end Of the season if Providence won the
flag. He wanted to get away from the
town. and his earneStncsS can be apprc-
ciated from his work. When the season
closed Ned Allen, president of the club.
handed Ranbourn a blank contract and
told him to fill it in at his own figure or

tn" SIS. the morning Fourth of July
game between Boston and Providence
would be played in Providence and the
afternoon game in Boston; the morning
game in Philadelphia and the afternoon
game in New York;"
With the present system of rapid
transit it would be quite possible for
the same sort of AN arrangement to be
made between New York and Philadel-
phia. New York and Brooklyn Philadel-

Philadelphia and WaShinSton-and were
the circuits to be changed as they ought

Connie" is right. There always has
been. is now and always will be Il ri
valry between nearby towns that moth
ing else can approach. When the old
PittsburG team, of which Mack was the
star backStop. used to come to Cl"ve
nj almost every fan in the city would
go out to the game in the glorious eX-
probation of seeing II scrap. Same thing
when the Cincinnati Reds came along.
Now there is some sort of joy about
d victory over any opposing team. but
this JOY IS not absolutely unconfincd I'M
less the opposing team is close neigh
Dor. For Cleveland to beat Pittsburg
meant for one rival for the championship
honorS of the Middle West to triumph
over Il city looking for similar distinction.
There is a glory about a victory over une'S
next door neiGhborS-onc$ immediate
compctitorS-that nothing else can supply.
One of the biggest factors in the sue
cess of most of the minor leagues is that
the towns and CITIES making up the cir
cults arc only a few hours apart and
that the population rivalry between them
is keen. 1t is quite as important to an
Akron fan that Akron should beat Can
ton-a city twenty miles away-in
crucial game as ii is to a Philadelphia
fan that the "Phillies'' or the Athletics
should beat the Giants or the Yankees in
New York. ninety miles away. when two

of neiShborhood environment. The nearer
the opposing city the sharper and more

Not only has he shown well against
his opponents. but he has managed
to throw a few baskets. Basketball
