as city magistrate. He is a director
Of the international commission on

He has taken always a special in

judicial notice and he has mended
more broken marriages than he has
dissolved.

on incompatibility which the Judge
contributes to the current number OF

Husbands and wives are bound to
quarrel occasionally unless they are
martial caterpillars." That very de-
scriptive phrase belongs to John ].
Freschi, justice of the court of special
sessions, New York City. and long
since recognized as high authority on
problems of marriage and divorce.
Justice Freschi believes that it Is an
excellent thing for married persons
to quarrel occasionally. that the con-
jugal jangle serves frequently as a
sort Of tonic to dying romance. Just
because your quarrel with Mary or
wish occasionally that you had ne'er
set eyes on John. is no reason at all
for believing that you have chosen
unwisely in Justice Freschi's opinion.

How could two persons really in

marry each other? 1t often happens
that men and women Of widely diff

Of staid, quiet habits is attracted by
the daredevil girl. OF the young man
Of convivial nature turns naturally to
the woman who will act as sort of
anchor for him. During courtship the
butterfly girl tries to be as sober as
possible; the serious minded men at
tempts to be gay. But these efforts
rarely outlast the honeymoon.
Real Nature Soon Develops.
Men and women slip back into their
real nature. The schoolma'am who
likes lectures and concerts develops a
contempt for the husband who prefers
movies and vaudeville. And the man
speaks derislvely of his wife's' quiet
tastes as 'highbrow.' Hence many

rels serve useful purpose-that OF
bringing about mutual concessions

for compromise. Moreover, 1t pro-
vides the occasion for making up

times men and women-particularly
young women-have an exaggerated
pride which makes them hide their
grievances. They nurse secret

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 20.-As demonstrated against Cornell, Bill Horween, the Harvard ful1back, has developed style of plunging or, rather rearing, that some experts class as hurdling. It's not out and out hurdling, but a combination of hurd- ling and diving over the line after the manner made famous at Columbia days of yore by Harold Weeks. Bill Langford of Trinity, one of the most efficient football officials in the coun- try, refereed the Cornell game at Cambridge and passed Horween's method of lOcomotion as being with in the law. On some occasions Hor- Ween was within the wording of the rule, but on others he seemed guilty of hurdling even according to the strict interpretation of the definition Rule 6, section 2, defines hurdling in the line as Jumping over or attempt ing to jump over a player on the line of scrimmage, with both feet or both knees foremost, within the distance of five yards on either side of the point where the ball was put in play." The penalty is fifteen yards.
 Quite a number of football critics from this city saw the game, and many were of the opinion that on a

number of occasions Horween was hurdling and that the style might be in violation of the spirit if not the wording of the rule At any rate it opens up an interesting topic and suggests that there might be a more explicit wording of the definition of hurdling.
 For having attained such great ef- hclency in his speciality Horween de- serves a world of credit, for it takes considerable vigor and sumption to go through with his "hurd1e'' He was finally forced to leave the game with what looked like a fractured wrist
 If Horween found the Cornell line closed to progress he usually made d half dive and half hurdle over the first bulwark to find lodgment under the secondary defense. Several others among the Harvard backs, Hitchcock in particular, also tried the Horween method and there were evil dences that all had been working to perfect the fullback's speciality. An official discussion of the style was held on the field during the game with the Massachusetts Aggies two weeks ago, and there may be others coming. Photo shows Horween kick ing.

 Buncbed for Honors

Having disposed of the Tigers, their nearest competitors. the Live Oaks Yof the City league. are in supreme command of the race for the pennant honors, and judging from the consis- tent work of the members of that quintet their hopes will be realized. The clash between the teams during the past week furnished plenty of fireworks. the Live Oaks winning two games out of three. It required how ever, for the equalling of the league high single score by Thompson to put across the victory. and when the two teams meet again. there are plenty of bowling fans who will pin their faith in the downfall of the Live Oaks Lantone who held the high single honors up to Tuesday night when his teammate tied him, is still in pos- session of, the high three string rec- ord.

Fragile Bric-a-Brac,

There were 175 starters in the Ma tional league last season. About eighty of these were pitchers, leaving nine ty-five on hand with chance to play in every game.
 But how many of these ninetyfive were able to go the, full distance? :? Exactly eight. Those who travelled the complete route were Burns, of New York; Herzog and Kauff, of New York; Griffith, of Cincinnatt; Kon- etchy, of Boston; Maranville, of Bos- ton; Carey, of Pittsburgh, and Cut shaw, of Brooklyn. Less than ten per cent. through injuries or lack of ability, were to follow the full trail from start to finish.
 Hans Wagner was forty-two years old, but he was able to take part In more games than the average athlete. The Old Boy was good for 123 battles, and among the regulars only three in- helders outbatted him from April to October Hans out-hit all the short stops, with only Arthur Fletcher close.
 The new age may be developing stalwarts, but the records fan to prove it.
 AS some one has said before, the higher priced bric-a-brac gets the more fragile it becomes. Art is long, but flesh is waning.
