Blue Ribbons To
Meet Cranes For
City Championship
Big Basketball Series Will Start
March Il at Eagles
Hall

The stage is set for the big series
between the Blue Ribbons, formerly
the st. Joseph's, and the Crane No.
2 teams, to decide the basketball
championship of the city. Manager
Leavy Of the Ribbons and Manager
Mcclure of the Cranes met last night
and signed articles of agreement
drawn up by the Sprting Editor Of
The Farmer.
It was decided that the series shall
consist of three games and the team
which wins two of these contests
shall be declared the champs. The
first game will take place Thursday
evening March Fl at Eagles hall. The
second contest will be held during the
week of March % and if third battle
is necessary it win be played the first
week of April.
1t was agreed that the Ribbons
may use Morrison and Cahill. Man
ager Leavy showed that Cahill had
played with the Ribbons last year
and Morrison had also worn the uni
form in several out of town games
Inasmuch as Hoffman and Bill Lang
hammer will be with the Cranes it
was thought no more than fair to let
the out of town stars remain in the
Blue Ribbon lineup.
The managers submitted the fol-
lowing list of players who are eligi-
BILE to take part in the series: Blue
Ribbons, Leavy, Hurley, Cahill, Nor
rison. F. Langhammer, Heating. CHRIS
ty, OMalley; Crane No. 2, Hoffman,
W. Langhammer, Graham, Eagan,
Barnsley. Atherton, Moran, Butler,
Kelly. Both managers agreed that
they would use none but the players
named above.
Al Burdick was named as referee
for the series. He is regarded as one
of the most capable officials in the
city and although he is personally ac-
quainted with man. of the players,
his rulings are absolutely Impartial.

strength. Of science he knows little
or nothing, but his capacity to wade
in, take all that comes his way, and
cripple an opponent in the clinches
cannot be over-estimated.
Last year Harry Forbes took trip

although by virtue of superior ring
craft and generalship he managed to
output the Jap, the latter roughed
matters with him in a way that made
the former bantam champion fight
every inch Of the route.
Forbes said Togo was the strongest
antagonist he ever collided with dur
ing his career in the squared circle.
In saying this Forbes did not even
exclude Terry McGovern, whom he
met when the great Brooklynite was
in his prime.

Ribbons ambled along and piled up
lead of 80 to IA. They thought things
looked pretty soft but in the last
period the Rovers struck their stride
and proceeded to cut down the local
lead. They grabbed IA points before
the Ribbons got one and the crowd

PENIoNs FOR Ex-PREsiDENTs.

The Carnegie plan of pensions for
our eX-presidents may have been
formed in the best of faith, and it
may be a good idea to provide pen
sions for them, but we do not approve
of the thought OF having the donations
made from private source. We think
if provision is made for an allow
ance to one who has retired from the
Office Of president, that the govern
ment should make the provision and
make it ample enough to insure ade-
quate support for the person retiring
from this exalted office. We further
contend that the allowance should be
made under circumstances that will
not cause embarrassment to the donee,
and to insure this being done it
should be provided that the recipient
shall have the privilege of attending
the sessions of both the upper and
lower house of congress and be given
the right to address the bodies and
take part in the discussions had on all
public questions, but not given the
right TO vote. In this way the
country would gain the benefit OF the
counsel and advice of these great and
distinguished men, and at the same
time it would relieve them OF any en-
barrassment in accepting the amount
which the government may see mt to
bestow upon them. In fact, 1t would
appear to be but compensation for
services rendered.
There is something of precedent
for the government making the allow
ance. inasmuch as it has been the GUS
tom for a number of years, at least,
where a member of the house or SEN
ate dies during the term of office, there
is paid to his widow and family an
amount of practically a years salary.
This has been the custom SO long
that it is now treated as legal re-
quirement and no one complains about
it. The president of the United States
uuTllS LNc ulCuLlUcLCy VI l1o OiiASS ~
ceives less pay than the ruler OF any
other nation in the world and we are
sure that our people would take kind
ly to the suggestion of at least $4,000
a year to each, beginning at the ex'
piration of his term and paid to him
as long as he lives.
President Taft, when told he"
DAYS ago of the Carnegie plan, said
in reply that he had no objection to
it, but he did not intend himself to
become beneficiary and we have, no
doubt but that other retiring presidents
will take the same view OF 1t, ana
because the donation under the Car
negie plan would not come as mat
ter of law from the government, but
would seem more in the nature OF
charity which it is unthinkable to be-
lieye would meet with favor with any
ex-president.
We hope the idea of the government
