 Contest.
By Wal aRner.,


 Prof. Dan Guilty mounted a chair as the dancers were whirIing m Colonial hall last night and cried aloud, All those who are shes1rating in the Hesi- tation Waltz kindly cut out the dips. as we can see the latest styles in hose by looking in the shop windows This speech came a few minutes after the Blue Ribbons had downed the Ram blers of Stratford in basketball by 45 to 25 and the rooters of both sexes were celebrating by the dance roEse. The game was as sensational as the dancing, which is no left handed com plifnent.
 The hall was packed with partisans who had come to cheer the old rivals in the second game of the series. The final score shows how the Ribbons evened the series and the struggle was more exciting than the figures indicate. The Ribbons were a vastly superior team to the one the Ram bIers defeated in December. The only change in the lineup was Della, Valle in the job held down by Wiggles- towrth and Leavy in the previous en- counter But the locals had improv- ed in passing and their shooting was also excellent.
 The real hero of the evening was Chief Snyder, who had the hard job of covering Stark The Rambler@star had offered to bet that he would score 
 every minute and Stark had few chances to toss, except at long dis tance. One goal was his lone con- tribution. whereas he got ten in the previous game.
 George Smith, the Stamford giant, scored 19 points for the Ribbons, six field goals and seven from fouls. Jim Morrison had seven losses and Pat Hurley four. The Ramblers had been instructed to cover Smith but An thony, who started at center, was talk en out in the second half, and .B1amey transferred to the job of watching the scoring machine. Della Valle threw a couple of baskets and did good floor work. Hurley was also in top notch form. Hafale and Blamey exceIIed for the Ramb1ers.

The matter of rental for the park was then discussed, but Owner Soinski later declared the in ducements were not as good as offered by North Adams.

One thing in favor. of Manchester is it's central location The teams would save a lot of mileage by playing there instead of making the long jump to North Adams. Presi- dent O'Rourke declared today he was delighted with the reception in Man chester. He said there was great baseball enthusiasm there.
 The big league players were success full in their demands for reform in the present baseball laws. Sixteen of their IT demands were granted yes- terday. The one matter laid over was when players are given unconditional releases or waivers are asked, they shall be notified in writing The league magnates didn't think the se- crecy of asking, for waivers hurt a player.
 It was arranged last night to have the third game of the Blue Ribbon Rambler basketball series played next Tuesday night @ats Colonial hall. Each team will use the same players who worked in last nights contest.

"Heroes Who Never Die

True it is that all men know
that they must die; but in this
statement of fact. we find no
hint of the glorious truth that all
human life springs out of eter-
nifty, spans time for a flaming
moment, anu then sweeps forth
to an infinite destiny beyond the
grave. 1t is true that most men
are forgotten by their fellows.
but it is also true that GOD does
not forget, and in that World
beyond, men too shall know
even as they are known.
Good men and good deeds are
immortal in time as well as in
eternity. The evil that men
do lives after them: the good is
oft inferred with their bones is
not true. Just as the words OF
Jesus, spoken in the impalpable
air. shall never pass away, SO all
that is good and true in human
achievement finds care and shell
ter in this world under the brood
ing presence of God.
Fifty years ago this nation was
ablaze with war. Men who were
brothers in blood, language and
faith, forced each other in NOR
tai combat. Both sides believed
that they were right, and, strong
in this belief, they submitted
their cause to the dread arbitra-

bowed his willing back to the

children's children. Again the
fertile fields are blooming. The

These were men indeed, and
what answer can their children
give them? In war and peace
they have conquered. Heroism,
honor, self-sacrifce, service:
these are the words blazoned up
on their battle flags, alas, held
now in trembling hands. Shall
these not become the WatchWords
