VALUABLE WORK OF M. AND M. ASSOCIATION

The value and importance of the Merchants and Manufacturers aS- sOciation to it's members was made manifest in the recent forgery case of John Boone, who has been issuing checks under many fictitious names as well as forgeries of prominent business men of the city. His work has been carried on for the past few weeks but the activities of the above office prevented any of the members from being defrauded. Telephone communications and written reports were sent the entire membership, giving the various names as he was using them.
 The work along this line of a credit rating association is inestim- able. Information from affiliated organizations in other cities coming in continually regarding parties leav- ing their former residences owing many bills and locating here. as well as parties who continually practice the art of passing checks to mer- chants with no funds to cover same is entered on an information sheet and this furnished the members.

 23:2 on June 2S of the same year. | Another intercollegiate basketball ] season has closed with the champion ship five undetermined. In the east the race of the Intercollegiate league, 1 consisting of six of the leading colleges i of the section, ended with Columbia and Cornell tied for first place. Each team won eight and lost two games. : Yale was third with six games won and four lost Princeton, Pennsylvania and Dartmouth followed in the order named Because of faculty restrictions no attempt was made to play off the tie for first place, although both Cor nell and Columbia players and under 1 graduates were eager to see the ques ton Of supremacy settled.
 In the middle west the conference race championship was won in impress sve style by the University of Wiscon- sin five, which played the twelve game schedule without meeting defeat Of the nine college teams engaged in the titular tournament Ohio state finished second. Illinois third and Chicago fourth Northwestern. Minnesota, Pur- due. Iowa and Indiana completed the order of final standing The Wisconsin team apparently outclassed the other conference five and the supporters of the Badger team would have been will ling to back the combination against the winner of the eastern tournament had such an intersectional contest been possible.
 This was particularly true since at present a tie exists in games played be- tween the eastern and western cham pionship lives of past years. With this situation in mind an attempt was made early last winter by the eastern league to arrange for a series between the winning lives of the two associations. but the conference directors refused to sanction an intersectiOnal series just as they refused to permit Chicago to play Harvard in an intersectional football game during the season of 1914. The record of these east and west games shows that a slight advantage rests
 with the west at present In 1905 the
 teams of Columbia and Wisconsin, the
 title holder of that year, met in New
 York. and Columbia won the game by Ia close score. At the close of the 1907-S season, Pennsylvania, winners of the eastern league series, met Chicago, the Big Nine" champions in an inter isectional contest. one game was played lin Chicago and one in Philadelphia, and in each case the western five was the victor by a few points margin after a fast brilliant display of individual and
 team basketball.

RIGOROUS RULES FOR USE

1929 was made by Oxford in 1911. American college regatta records do not touch these figures. for the inter- collegiate regatta record made by Cor
 nell in 1901 is 1S:53 1-5 for four miles, while the best time for the Harvard Yale regatta was made by Yale crew of 1888 when the Blue won the four mile race in 20:10. That the Thames course is faster than the New London stretch would appear to be indicated by the fact that the Harvard crew of 1906 Was defeated by Cambridge by two lengths in 1918, on September s of that year, after Harvard won from Yale in four mile race at New Lon don by a margin of nine seconds in 23:2 on June 2S of the same year.
