always make neighbors. Speaking &C.
quaintances are not always nelghbors.
To be real neighbors we must have
the spirit OF neighborllness In our
hearts which prompts US to get to-

around a well.laden table and feast,
and visit, and laugh and Joke and have

know him pretty well, and there Ia
nothing like these neigbborly reunions
as a means OF getting acquainted.
II may be that some OF US will have
to DO a little mental and spiritual
housecleaning before Christmas day
dawns. We shall have TO rid ourselves
Of all the old rubbish Of grudges, dis
likes, jealousles and III feelings which
we will and pigeon-holed away when
we begin 10 overhaul the accumua'

throw all this into the discard before
you can get into the real Christmas
spirit. because the two will not mix.

GAMES TOMORROW
Philadelphia Team Is Composed
Of Pearson, Harrity, Johnson,
HUM and White

Tomorrow and Sunday intercity
squash racquets matches will be played
at the Germantown Cricket Club. It is
expected that Detroit. Boston, Balu-
more and New York will plav agaiust
Philadelphis. The team to represent
Philadelphia will be: No. /. Stanley

Club; No. =, William +. Harrity,

Germantown Cricket Club. According
to the present schedule, the preliminary
matches will be played tomorrow and
the finals on Sunday. The matches are
cvrcc''d 20 begin at 2 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon.
The Philadelphia team is composed Of
the leading five men who competed in
the PENNSYLVANIA tournament that ended
at the Racquet Club en- Monday when
Stanley Pearson defeated Harrity in the
finals. Harrity played we'll throughout
the tournament, defeating Wallace
Johnson in the semifnsls and Frank
White in the third round. White, who
was national champion in 1911, put IN
fine battle against Harrity, but lost
ultimately in four close games. It
took Harrity FIVE games to beat Wallace
Johnson.
Teyis HUM played the most sensa :
tional squash in the tournament, but he
finally fell before the mastery play OF
Stanley Pearson in the third round.
Huhn won the first and second games
from Pearson, but in doing 50 he burned
himself out, and the more experienced
man then proceeded TO take his younger
opponent over the hurdles.
As the winners Of the state tourna-
ments are eligible 70 compete for the
national title, Stanley Pearson again
will try TO capture the crown for the
fourth time. Pearson won in 1916
1917, but G. c, Peabody, Boston, won
last year.
