READING NEEDS
ONE MORE GAME
Berks County Five Must Defeat
Central or Steelton TO Win
League Race

With the drop of the curtain in
sight in the Central Pennsylvania
league of the High school basketball
teams interest has narrowed down to
the contest which the Central High
school will wage during the next few
weeks to tie the Reading quintet for
first place honors in the race.
Reading needs to win one more
game TO clinch first place honors. But
Reading must play Central and Steel
ton away from home before the season
closes.
Friday night the fray between the
local five and the Berks county team
will be staged at the Chestnut Street
Auditorium. and promises to be one
of the bitterest struggles ever staged
in the annals of basketball history of
the two schools.
Reading will play at Steelton on
Saturday, and number of people
who have been watching the teams
closely, claim that they will be even
ly matched, promising another good
name.
Central, however, by defeating
Reading, still has a hard road to
travel because Tech and Steelton are
anxiously waiting a chance to get
revenge for defeats administered by
the Blue and Gray boys earlier in the
season.
A comparison of playing and scor-
ing work of the Central and Reading
quintets, shows that the local five is
the stronger of the two.

is the only one with a chance to tie

TEMPERANCE NOT
IN JUDGE FIGHTS
Anti-Saloon League Man At
tracts Attention by Speech
in Pittsburgh

Election of judges on the temper
ance issue does a great deal of damage
in the selection of a competent and
able court and this practice should be
abandoned" said the Rev. f. J. Moore,
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League. in an address before the
weekly meeting of the United Presby-
terian Ministerial Assertion in Pitts
burgh Monday afternoon. Continuing,
he said:
ITO elect the judges on the temper
ance quetion interferes very much with
the kind of a court the people get.
There are many good judges who do
not believe in local option. A judge
should be elected for his ability as a
judge and not on his personal opinion
on the liquor question. The liquor
question ought not to be considered in
the selection of man who is to decide
questions of law and evidence.
The large majority of judges in
this state believe that the liquor ques-
tion is a question for the Legislature
10 decide and not a question to be de-
cided by the courts.

A Recommended List For
the Home Flower Garden

Those who decide to grow old
fashioned flowers should not attempt
too many kinds, but should rather
have a chosen few. Nor should they
hesitate to grow a quantity of the
kinds selected. as exchanges may be
readily made with neighbors. Peren-
malls should be planted abundantly,
as they will spread and practically
take care of themselves.
A few old favorites recommended
by II. II. NJ. Hills, manager of green
houses at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege, include the following: Single
and double Hollyhocks, Larkspurs
Lupins, Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves
Sweet William, Columbine. Hardy
PhloX Anemones, Iris, Gypsophila
(Bobys Breath), Polyanthus, Glove
scented Pinks. Lilies, Sea Lavender
Lathyrus or Hardy Pea, Valerian
Wallflowers, Violas. Tulips, Hya-
cinths, Daffodils, Lily of the Valley
Rosemary Lavender and Ferns.
The Geranium should always gnd a
place in the old ashioned flower gar
den. The one who is not acquainted
with some of the new varieties of this
flower does not know its possibilities

AS REAL CONFER
Eddie Zimmerman Praises
Connie Mack For Signing
Harrisburg Star Infielder

Eddie Zimmerman last season s
manager of the Harrisburg Interna-
tional League team is breaking into
print. He is a great admirer of young
players and in a recent article in the
Philadelphia Inquirer praises Connie
Mack for signing Red Crane of Har-
risburg; and Pat Moran for his good
work. Manager Zimmerman who will
be with Newark this year SAYS:
Connie Mack made no mistake
when he acquired Shortstop Crane.
The latter was by far the best short
stop in the circuit last year and was
getting better all the time. The best
thing about the youth is that he is
brainy and quick to learn the fine
points of infield defense. | don't hesi-
tate TO say that Crane will become as
valuable a shortstop as Jack Barry or
Joe Tinker.
Crane doesn't knock down fences.
but ] don't see any shortstops doing
that. Crane will hit hard enough to
keep in the big show
Zimmerman hasn't much praise for
Pick, the third baseman. Hes not a
star" declared Zimmerman, 'and
there were three or four third base
men IN the International League last
season who were his superiors.

let out a lot of pitchers to get down
to the twenty one player limit, but I
think that Oeschger will escape the

any pitcher in the league last year.

He fielded his position like a Math-

wares. Keep your eye on him this
