Whsslng and Cathedral High Schools
Were Especially suceessful-Many
strong Independent Teams.

In many respects, the basket ball sea-
son Just closing has been one OF the
most successful I'm the history Of IN.
sport in this vicinity. More teams were
IN the field this year than ever before.
ana many more games OF the indoor
sport have been played than in previous
ytafs Every school In the vicinity OF
wheeling was represented by one or
more teams. and in the case OF Wheeling
nigh. both boys and girls enjoyed very
tucceSsful seasons. Cathedral and Bell
TIRE also made excellent showing IN ba<-
ket ball circles. being represented by
fast teams.
Aside from the school teams there
have been organized several independent
clubs that have made names for them
selves. Among these independent clubs
were: Macsdemy. Columbia, Cathedral
Alumni. Island Athletics. bridgeport In
dependents. BellairC Independents Ca
sino Club and several others. All these
teams played number OF games and
were largely responsible for the in
creased interest Ia this popular indoor
sport.
As has been the case for the past sew
eral years, the Wheeling y. NJ e.. A. had
a strong team. Many OF their games
have been with teams that are OF repre-
sentative strength among colleges Per-
haps the most notable victory OF the
\. NJ. five was that over the MuSkin-
gum College. This team was coached
by Greasy" Neale and was considered
one OF the best college quintets IN east

BY THE EDITOR

Yesterday afternoon other members Of the
staff and myself called at the homes Of a large
number OF Times readers in various parts OF
the city, to learn their views concerning GER
tain features that appear in this paper.
We learned, incidentally, that The Times
fills special niche in those home We had
previously known something of this, but yes
terday it was brought very forcibly to our at
tentiOn.
We found existing on the part of Times read
ers an attitude toward The Times that they
hold toward no other paper. It is feeling of
REAL PERSONAL FRIENDSHIP.
If other papers come to the home, it is The
Times that all members of the household
scramble for first. 1t is The Times opinions
they wait for and rely on 1t is the Times seri-
ais that are discussed at the dinner tables,
''Talk O. The Times" jokes that are stored up
to be retold, Everett True, the Duffs and 9TH
er Times comics that are considered as real
people and friends of the family There is
feeling that it is The Times which fights the
battles of these homes, that speaks their
wishes and UNDERSTANDS their thoughts
and ambitions
AS we went from home to home, our identi-
ties shrOuded in the vague statement that we
were ''from The Times,'' it was mighty ill
spring to find everywhere this unusual bond
between the paper and its readers. And the
best of it was, that the sentiment was always
Volunteered enthusiastically and whole
heartedly by The Times readers.
In short, we found that the people who read
The Times are buying it, not to get some "cut
rate not to obtain a premium, not because
they are bulldozed or wheedled into it by
some imported solicitor, but because THEY

Although members OF the coun-

to be quoted, they announced after
Saturdays stormy session with

effort would be made to improve
civil service.
A joint meeting of the council
and civil service board will be
called Immediately, it was said.
Councilmen are free in admit
ting that they want to get rid Of
Ellsworth, because, they say, he is
not a competent man for the job.
However. If Ellsworth can do
the work efficiently, he can stay,

NIGHT RIDERS mot Gull TY''
Jim Foley RepudiateS Alleged Murder Confession
Editor Hints---Right Out Loud at
That---For a Christmas Present

WANT THE PAPER and feel lost if they are
without it.
don't believe L ever limited for Christ
mas present in my life before-that is, since
L was eight years old-but this impressive
demonstration Of yesterday suggested to me
the idea of limiting right out loud for certain
Christmas present in this pleasant Year of
Promise.
The present is-MORE SUCH READERS.
The people to give me that present-those
loyal readers | have been talking about.
l reason it this way: That if they find the
paper so valuable, if they feel IS / believe they
do that it is fighting their fights and reflect
ing their wishes, they ought to want to extend
it's circle of influence and cheer and enthus-
iasm among their neighbors
An editors ability is judged largely by his
readers, their number and character and their
loyalty to the paper and it's ideas So, if The
Times present readers would all at once de-
eide voluntarily to double their number, each
by inducing neighbor to subscribe, their
work would constitute the greatest Christmas
present imaginable.
And incidentally, it would also be a Christ
mas gift for themselves as well-for with the
greatly increased reading circle the paper
would Immediately become correspondence
improved.
So Times readers, there you have tan UNI
blushing bid for Christmas present, new
subscriber, solicited by yourself. -
When you land him. send his name, not to
the circulation manager but, together with
your own name, to EDITOR THE TIMES,
TACOMA, direct, and, believe me, will cher
ish it along with the costliest and finest gifts
that the day may bring.

German Papers
Differ On Note

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 23.-The
Cologne Volks Zeitung views
President Wilson's peace note with
suspicion, according to dispatches
received here today.
From our knowledge of
President Wilson," the newspaper
comments, I'VE can easily picture
the kind of peace he wants. If
he is sincere he should simply
make the entente assent to the
German proposals and state their
terms at a conference.
The Berlin Allegemeine lei
tung declared: ''In view of the
entente's statement and their re-
cent declaration that neutral in
reference would be considered
unfriendly, we await eagerly the
entente's attitude on the Wilson
note"
Anyhow" observes the Vienna
Neue Freie Press" the note will
cause the peace question to remain
for a considerable time in the
foreground"
