Increased Business Activity
Pressing Realty Brokers
for Desirable Sites.

Increased business activity in the
downtown section OF Washington is
pressing real estate brokers for
and similar business interests. it was
stated today by. Morton J. Luchs,
local realtor. in an interview.
NH. Luchs emphasized the fact that
in Washington. on account of its en-
larged population. business could not
be confined longer to any two or
three streets.
"All merchants wishing to do bust
ness in Washington are not fortu-
nate enough to be able to find sites
on any particular two or three
streets" Mr.. Luchs asserted. 1T is
the desire of new merchants and pro-
fessional men to enter business In
Washington that is forcing the CEN
tral downtown business section OF
the city to expand"
Homes Turned Into stores.

CENTRALS \ HOT
CAME CRALL.E NCE

Old Town Stars say that the AL
buquerque Centrals, who are claim
ing the city second team champion
ship through their two wins out
of three from the Stars, are not
entitled to the title through the
fact that the Centrals have played
a number of Gray players in each
of the three games. In the game
Sunday when the Stars were de-
feated, Sandoval, pitcher of the
Grays, was in the Central box
The Stars claim they can beat
the Centrals if the Centrals play
their own team. They have chal-
lenged the Centrals to a five-game
series, counting the three games
already played. If the Centrals
take one of the additional two
games, they will win the series and
the Stars will be willing to admit
their superiority.
AS an added inducement, the
Stars suggest that the losers of
the proposed series equip the win
ners with new uniforms and bats.
The stars stated last night that
they were willing to play at any
time convenient to the Centrals
They demand, however, that the
Centrals play their own team.
The stars have played seventeen
games this season and have lost
but five, including two to the
Grays.
