THE BUYERS

The buyers of the country are fooline
themselves with the delusion that re-
tail mail order houses sell all kinds of
merchandise more cheaply than local
retailers.
1t is somewhat ridiculous to say that
retail mail order houses quote the low
est prices on all types of merchandise.
If that is so, why do they advertise so
~strenuously? If their catalogues con-
tanned nothing but lowest prices, their
hard work to secure trade would be
superfluous trade would flow to them as
naturally as water flows down hill.
A much fairer view of the situation
is given in the words of n of the mail
order men. He said recently that it be-
comes harder every year for the mail
order house to overcome the competition
of the local retailer. Now, if the mail
order houses quoted lowest prices on
everything they handle, would they
have such difficulty in getting business
away from the smaller merchant?
Again. if these big firms are below
all other st~orekeepers. how does it hap
pen that literally thousands of small
retailers are meeting and beating them
at their own game?
But there's a good reason.
Evidence secured from several re-
liable sources seems conclusively to
prove that the retail mail order cost of
doing business is about 30 pei cent.
In contrast with this. the local retailers
cost, as is we'll known, seldom exceeds
18 per cent.
The mail order houses carry thousands
Of items which they cannot buy from
makers at prices low enough to Offset
this difference. Of course mail order
houses quote lower prices on many
kinds of goods. but much of this mer-
chandise are leaders which have
been slashed for the effect their low
prices will produce.
The best proof of the statement of
both mail order and:local retailer::is COM
parison.
Compare all down the line and end
out for yourself.

The Young Americans were de-

field by an SO score Tuesday. Lew
kowitz sent two tallies across the
plate by banging out two home runs
for the victorious band, while Hope
did some tall clouting for the Amer
lean nine, polling out a home run
and several singles. The game was
a fine fray and was marred only by
one unsportsmanlike act committed
by Lewkowitz, who threw his bat In
the air while the opposing catcher
was attempting to catch a foul fly.
The bat hit the catcher on the feet
as he caught the fly ball. "Lewky"
seemed to have done the trick pur-
posely, according to several of the
spectators.
The scrubs had q strong lineup
with Hornsby and Lewkowitz on the
slab, Griswold as catcher, Fiigen,
Oliver, and Peck for the infleld, and
Daley, Coutts and Brunswick for
the outf1eld. The Americans pre-

RUFUS ALLEN CHOSEN
AS BEST OF GUARDS
Possesses as Much Aggressive
ness as Any Other in County--Aas
Held Down Crack Forwards
COMPARED WITH ALL OTHERS

gan and Frank Sullivan, with all
their calibre in holding some of the
best men to low scores, are minus
the aggressiveness which would
make any one Of them many per
cent stronger as a candidate as the
best guard in the county. And right
at this point is where J. Scott Burns
the Riverside guard excels. He is
very aggressive guard. But when
Burns is aggressive, he often lacks
the qualities possessed by the Cath
cart boys, Deegan, and Sullivan, and
these qualities are the guarding OF
men to low scores.
In reviewing the class and abili-
ties of the different guards, each Of
whom has scores Of admirers, we
deduct that guard with the abilities
at guarding as Deegan, Sullivan and
the Cathcart boys possess and one
with the aggressivenesss such as Scott
Burns has, would be the one that
should be chosen as the best guard
in Middlesex county.
And for that reason RUFUS B.
ALLEN, JR., would be our choice.
The large crowd of Auditorium
patrons who attend the Saturday
night sessions know best of the Prov
ess of Allen. AS an aggressive
player. there Is no guard In the coun-
ty who can compare with him. He
is able to handle the ball to the best
advantage of his team in better style
than any other guard. He equals
Deegan, Sullivan and the Cathcart
brothers In holding opponents to low
scores and equals Scott Burns in ag-
gressiveness. Besides having these
qualities combined In him, he Is as
good If not better basket shooter
than any Of the aforementioned
guards. While his aggressiveness has
landed him the popular name of
Rough House" he has been hailed
as clean player and gentleman
In the game as we'll as out Of the
hostilities. Such all-around wonder
full abilities as Allen possesses in bas-
ketball warfare we believe no other
guard can claim and for this reason
we would suggest that everyone doff
their caps to Rufus B. Allen, Jr.,
popularity known as Bunk" "Ruf"
and Rough House," as the best Of
MiddleSeX guard,

the nails or Jackets were to be placed

Games Now Easy for Sea-

Fine Style Score is
33-16--To Meet Again.
PAGN0D HELD SCORELESS

Nothing unusual happened in the
game between the Seasides and the
y. A. G. which was played last night
in Eltingville. The Dolan clan, as
was predicted, romped away easy
yictors, the final tally being 33-16
The regular Eltingville style of "slam
bango' was in evidence again last
night and the Seaside combination
worked in speedy fashion so that the
Il. A. g. warriors were outclaSsed at
nearly every stage, as has been the
case with all the other teams which
the Seaside aggregation has opposed
in the last few months.
Mcintyre and Hennessey played in
wonderful fashion, the former drop
ping five through the net and the
latter caging the sphere six times.
This forward duo. showed enough
speed to burn and because of their
exceptionally classy performance the
T. A. C. met defeat. Every member
of the Tottenville crew worked at his
best but could not cope with the
great work or the style of the Sea-
sides.
After Krummpe scored three field
goals against Cline in the first ten
minutes Of play Cline was replaced
by Price because of an injury re-
ceived. Price played strong defen-
sive game by holding the husky Sea-
side pivot performer scoreless in the
time these warriors opposed one an
other. Solheim held Pagnod score
less from the field, which was an
other feature of the contest.
AS the T. A. O. has won two games
from the Seasides on the X. of P.
court In Tottenville, and as the Elt-
ingville clan has annexed two on
their court, the fifth and deciding
match will be played in this city. No
definite time will be set for the clash
until 1t is learned what hall may be
procured.

By Memo.


Probably one of the most difficult
propositions which a dopist or sport
critic could encounter right now
forward In Middlesex county. This
is probably so because there are sew
eral crack forwards, all of whom
play such radically different styles
that a comparison between them
would bring a dopist little.
However, the task OF picking the
best guard, although not as hard as
is the one of choosing the best for
ward, is by no means an easy one.
For every city boasts guards who
have performed noteworthy feats
which should entitle them to consid-
Grafton when one attempts to pick
whom he believes to be the best in
the class.
Among the guards, we have the
high regard for the Cathcart broth
ers, of South River. Ernest Cath
cart has acquired considerable re-
nown by being the first tosser to hold
Charlie Crabiel scoreless from the
field. He has also been barrier Of
strength to his team against most
of the opponets of the Sterling A. A.
quintet during the season. Edward
Cathcart has also shown calibre as
Ernest's side-kink and many have
been the times that this duo has
made commendable showing against
the best forward combines in these
parts.
Captain Johnny Deegan, of the
Puritans, is guard who has also
proven his merit. In breaking up
plays Of opposing teams and in
guarding the opponent to whom he
was assigned, he has shown abilities
that have made him the favorite of
scores of loyal supporters of popular
winter sport. Frank Sullivan has
also been recognized as guard OF
excellent calibre. He proved his
worth when he held Johnny McCreer-
ry scoreless and when he kept other
forwards of much renown to small
scores.
However, all of the aforemention-
ed guards seem to lack qualities to
make them the choice as the best
of all in Middlese1. Ernest Cath
cart, Edward Cathcart, Johnny Dee

FINAL SCORE IS So -26

Joe Plass's Goodwill basketball
tossers came to life last night on the
Goodwill court with a victory over
the Sewaren quintet by a 1926
score. The game was a fast and in
teresting exhibition with most of the
passing and good work among the
local athletes, who held the lead from
the beginning until the finish.
The first part started off with the
Goodwills taking the initiative in
scoring. At the end of the initial
administration the tally read 1911
in favor of the local aggregation.
Every member of the Goodwill
lineup played in strong and COM
mendable style, each tallying not
less than two field goals. Miller
proved the Gibraltar among his toss
ers, holding Potter scoreless while
he Gagged five from the field. Par
sons, the Parish House pivot general,
proved the only real scoring factor
for the defeated combine by making
the shreds whistle six times while
shooting from the field and six times
while shooting from the foul line.

Strength or Grizzly Bear.
1t Is related that grizzly bear that
had one of its fore paws so shot as to
render 1t useless employed the other
to draw its weight Of 1000 pounds up
an incline almost precipitous, SEEM
ingIy impossible feat. A Californian
asserts that while In the mountains he
observed a big grizzly in the act OF
carrying dead cow home to her cubs.
From his position on the mountain
side the Californian could follow every
movement of the bear in the sparsely
hmbered valley below. He contends
that the big beast carried the COW In
her fore paws for a distance Of three
miles, across jagged rocks several feet
in height. over fallen logs around the
rocky mountain side, where even
mule could not get a foothold, to
narrow trail up the steep mountain
side. This bear, 1t appears, stopped
not a moment for rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her and about half mile from her
lair shot her. The COW. 1t is reported,
weighed at least ] POO pounds. while
the weight Of the grizzly was about
450 pounds News.
