Anyone who agrees with me abso-

But. really. isn't there whole lot
of truth I'm this letter? And doesn't
it make you feel like shaking the
woman you see on the street car
who is so busy with her own silly
little affairs that she can't listen
when the poor. eager-minded child
she's dragging around with her,
wants TO know something and is
foolish enough TO ask her?
I've seen children slapped for ask
ing their mother what made the car
go up the hill l always wonder
whether the mother Is so simple
that she doesn't know. herself. and
takes that way of revenging herself
upon fate for her own ignorance. or
whether she is too dull TO realize
that the only way "a child ever learns
anything is-by asking questions
The only child in the world who
doesn't ask questions is a duh child.
or frightened child. or sly child
All the rest are made up Of cues
tions and the good mother should
be made up Of good-natured an
swers.
What poor. short-sighted. stupid
things they are-the mothers who
don't realize that they are missing
the greatest fun in life when they
don't take hold of hands with their
own children and walk through
life - close - close - why there
nothing like 1t in the world Never
has been and never will be-the
close loving. honest earnest com
partnership between a mother and
her children
What is there in the world that
can take the place Of such a COM

Who's worth the love Of a little

 OBSERVERS BACK
White SOX Leader Invites Jackson
 and Others Into Fold

Chicago, Feb. 2O.-Mem bers of the Chlcago Americans who deserted the cluD last season to engage in ship building will be invited to return,
 hld' Gleason, successor of Clarence Rowland in the management of the White Sox, announced on his arrival last night to assume management Of the club.
 Joe Jackson, whose desertion in Hhlladelphia early in the 1918 season. started other players to the ship yards, had been offered a contract. Gleason said. While definite word has not been received from the star out fielder it is expected he will return to the game.
 Byrd Lynn, a catcher, is the first of the 'deserters" to return his signed contract When Lynn with his bat tery mate, Claude Williams, informed President Comiskey of their plans to quit last season, Comiskey denounced them and ordered their uniforms re- moved.
 II want Jackson and the other players back with me-" Gleason said

ALUMNI TEAMS SELECTED
New Britain and Hartford High
 School Stars of Former Days to Afingle Again in Basketball Battle.

The first game of the series be- tween the alumni teams of New Britain and Hartford High schools, promises to revive the old time in- terest that was manifested years ago. It is two years since teams repre- senting grads of both institutions mingled on the basketball court, and on the last occasion, the Hartford boys were victorious 25 to 24 after a fve-minute overtime play. The locals are sure that the coming fray will not necessitate any overtime playing, so sure are they that they will grab off the bacon.
 The following players will be called upon to uphold the local alumni: Kopf, Ellison, Ginsberg, Ven sel, Stepanian and Reynolds. Hart ford will have, Joe Smith, Hap Harmon, Ike Wooley, Ray Nordlund, Mag" Allen, Chet Dodge, Joe Sander son, Tom Tuohey and Bill Ross. It looks like a great night when these gladiators clash.

JONES HEARD FROM
Yale Football Mentor Says He Has Not Been Approached Concerning Coaching Job Next Season.

New Haven, Feb. 20.-In a letter 10 the Yale News yesterday Tad Jones says that he has not been approached Tn regard to the possibility of his coaching the Blue football team this fall, and mentions the fact that he has been away from all the doings of the past few months. It has been generally understood that negotiations were going on with Jones, and now there is uncertainty in the minds of Ill whether he will be back at Yale next fall or not.
 He comes out strongly in favor of training tables and secret practice. Tad's letter reads as follows:
 For the past year and a half and more I have been completely out of touch with the athletic situation at Yale and am far from qualified to even express an opinion as to what he post war athletic situation will be.
 Until l received your letter I knew nothing of the proposed rules regard lng scouting, training tables and se- cret practice, if not abused is in my cut out, even if they want to, because they cannot prevent a graduate going 10 a football game and reporting the plays to his head coach. Training tables are valuable chiefly in the de- velopment of an esprit de corps Se- cret practice if not abused, is in my judgment a good thing for the uni versity and the team.
 "As for myself, I have not been approached with reference to roturn- lng to New Haven to cOach.''
 "Jones is an official in a prosperous shipbuiIding company in Seattle.

MEREDITH RECONSIDERS.
Declares He Will Compete in NIiIlrose
 Games Next Tuesday.

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 20.-At the annual dinner of Philadelphia writHrs held here last night, Ted" Meredith sprang a surprise as the guest of the evening by announcing that he had reconsidered his decision to hang up his running shoes forever. Shortly after his return from the fighting front abroad Meredith received an in- Vltaton to compete in the MilIross oOO, which he declined. It was pub- Hshed far and wide that the great Ted" had retired from further som petition Meredith declared last night that the reason for his decision to run in the Millrose classic next Tuesday night in Madison Square gar- den IS that he wants to get permanent possession of the E. H. Post trophy.
 Meredith has two legs on the tro- phy; the first he gained in 1915, the second in 1917. Dave Caldwell of the Boston A. A. scored a victory in 1916. Last year George Dernell of the BUys' club snatched the unexpected honor from somewhat mediocre field

OSTBERG WRITES
Bay State Wrestler Finishing His Training For Championship Bout With VentreS

Sporting Editor Dear sir
 As time for my match is drawing close, line to you in hopes that l can give you some news, and to let you know 1 wrote Bacon, I would post forfeit money, with either paper, Herald preferred, but have not got answer from him as yet. Will be in town Friday morning, to go through with all the details of settling referee question, rules governing contest, weight, etc., as we have no articles of agreement drawn for this match. ] wrote Bacon, covering everything I considered important, and asked for names of various men he has in view for referee. Expect to call on you Friday and hope you can enlighten me on that subject some, as I have reason to believe you will put me right.
 I am so close to weight, I expect no trouble to be even on day of match. I worked out an hour and a half to- night at Worcester Y. M. c. A. gym, which I expect will be last one, as light and frequent road work will hold me down to weight over Thursday and Friday.
 Was sorry my name was mis- spelled on posters, as Ausburg is not Swedish, and l am Swedish descent, and many of my friends from Wor- cester who are now in New Britain in the machine trade, which I have fol- lowed, also will wonder when they see my cut why I spell my name so. Thanking you, if you will correct it, although it is a small detail, am
 Yours truly,

RED TOPS WIN AGAIN.

Springfield, Mass, Feb. 20.-The Red Tops lowered the All-Holyokes on the commerce high floor last night, 27 to IS. It was sweet revenge for the Tops as they went out hard in the first half and secured an IS point lead. They were able to toy with the opposition in the last portion of the fray Neither team displayed any semblance of teamwork, the game being a man-to-man affair through out. It was clearly a case of the man with the ball taking the shot as soon as he had look at the hoop.

 m eeting of the ''big three sss sl5F cor1- sidered eNpedicnt. s
 Some light on Princeton s% feeling toward athletic combinations was re- Nealed when it was stated that it was understood that the Tigers would not send a representative to the proposed meeting of Columbia, Corncl, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale. This conference is to be held in Philadelphia on Feb ruary P for the purpose of insti- tuting a college league for the organ ization of more systematic co-opera- ton in athletics,
 Included in Dean McC1enehan's an nouncement was a statement which throws some light on the big three" combination. This is intended to an swer certain misguided allegations made by the Cornell Sun on the sub ject of the close federation between Princeton, Yale and Harvard. The statement follows:
 Some misunderstanding appears to have arisen in regard to the recent meetings of the chairmen of the boards of Princeton, Yale and Har yard.
 These meetings have been entirely lnfOrmal ana none or the QeClSlOIS there is valid without ratification by the athletic boards of the three uni versailles concerned. No revolutionary changes in athletic policy or relations have been contemplated. There has been no thought of any Big Three" league or of drawing out of relations with other colleges or universities. An inspection of the published schedules of Harvard, Yale and Princeton will show this.
 The chief topics that have been taken up are temporary changes in the eligibility rules made necessary by the fact that so many students have been in military service and the arrangement of dates and places for intercollegiate athletic contests in the different branches of sport. All re- ports attributing any further signifi- canoe to these conferences are entire ly without foundation. The only req son that no news has been given out Is that there has been no news to give out.
