IMMIGRANTS ARE

American Sharpers Throng New

New York.-"From steerage to sue
cess" briefly sketches the careers Of
many immigrants to America. But it
does not tell the struggles, the hard
ships and even the indignities endured
by many immigrants, including some Of
the most successful ones, during the
intervening period between their arriv-
al in America and the time when they
achieve success or suffer failure, as
the case may be.
Every year brings a fresh crop of
stories about successful immigrants
but it brings also stories about immi-
grants leaving America, disappointed
and discouraged, because, lacking gov
ernmental protection and friendly
guidance, they fell into the hands of
New York city sharpers who feeced
them Of their savings.
Tricks Are Many.
The tricks of these sharpers, as cata-
logued by persons who have investigat-
ed complaints range from the outright
sale Of the Statue of Liberty and
Brooklyn bridge for an amount equiva-
lent to the entire savings of the immi-
grant to the sale of subway tickets at
cost of from $40 to $40 each, good
for trip to Chicago"
One artful confidence man who
waxed wealthy without the necessity
for prolonged honest effort garnered
immigrant douars through the sale Of
green tickets at 81 to SIS apiece enti-
ting the bearers to admission to the
United States.

test w2s fast from start 10 finish and the
high school lads showed more class than
was expected of them on The large court.
In the first half Smith. Merchant back
guard, played wonderful basketball and
the Charlottesville forwIrds found il
hard to get past him for points but
they managed to pile up an l1-tO-7 lead
before half time arrived. The locals
mad less trouble in scoring during the
second period and they soon advance \
several nOtches to the front. The Wis
itOrs got several good shots at the bas
ket in this half, but they missed far
more than they made. shelton and Chad
wick played the best offensive game for
the CrawfOrdSville quintet getting five
and four baskets, respectively. Kirby

Toe ROsenthal proved the star of the
visiting team, scoring six OF their points
on three long shots, which were features
