The Rosebud Athletic Clubs base
ball team took a little trip to the
springs of the silvery waters last
Sunday and played an air-tight game
against the Silver Springs Reserves

and when the waters from above be

When the game was called the Buds

STANDING OF TIE CLUES

Johnny Pittman, Ia, are so good that
Agutter says he will match them
against any four boy players in the
world.
Through an intersectional inter
city or Interstate boys match, Agut-
ter hopes to be able to start an an
nual tournament that will class with
the All-Comers championship in the
mems class.
Much # the credit for the rapid
progress made by American boys is
due to William T. Tilden, the ma
tional champion. Tilden has always
taken an interest in boys and he has
developed some of the best young
players today Vincent Richards is
one OF Tilden's pupils and he has all
the marks Of coming champion II
he is not close 70 that point now.
France is giving attention to the
development Of young players and IN

the Davis Cup team, she seems to

Australia, England and Spain are
still falling back on veteran players
and the British are slipping badly

Hagen, British open champion, eX

Sarazen's victory at Skokie in a

COLLEGE ATHLETICS

The Southern Intercollegiate Ath-
letic Association has agreed that in
future a boy must spend at least one
year in college before being permit
ted to play on collegiate games,
and that boy who once represents
a college in a college athletic contest
can never again play on team with
any other college.
The object if this agreement is to
keep professionalism out Of college
athletics. By this agreement the col
leges say they do not want students
who come to college solely or mainly
to play football or baseball, and that
they do not want an athletic student
to come from another college solely
with the hope of greater pay or re-
nown from athletics.
This was such a sensible step TO
take that one wonders why it was not
taken before.
Nobody objects to college athletics,
within reason. But when athletics be-
comes the main thing with college
students or faculties or alumni asso-
Citations, it is time to call halt.

INVEST AT HOME

Almost every week one reads in the
news Of the day that some progress
sive city or county has voted or con.
templates voting bonds for improve.
ments. When these bonds are sold, in
nearly every case they will be pur.
chased in some of the great financial
eenters Of the country instead of be-
ing bought by the people of the com.
munities issuing them.
AS yet a smooth-talking "stock
salesman" will come along and sell
the people of that community an
equally large investment in real es-
tate or oil scheme or some fake in
dustrial enterprise. .t
These crooks never offer six per
cent and safely because they know
nobody would call for it. Instead,
they offer 80 to 100 per cent interest
and glorious enhancement, which are
swallowed hook and sinker by the un-
wise investor. II even a small per
ceatage Of these schemes were sue
eessful there would be no disposi-
Non BY firms Of long financial exper-
isnce to invest in six per cent mu-
6cipal and county bonds.
What q benefit it would be if the
money that has been sunk in land
schemes, oil and industrial enter
psises had been invested in the bonds
ef our own cities and counties.
Jhousands Of dollars paid out in in
terest to people away from home
would be paid to our own citizens.
Besides, our citizens would have tan
Sible property instead of glittering
stock certificates whose gold-paper
seals represent the extent of their
worth.

need to become interested in our own

HOW TO DISARM

Our system of trial by jury is the
result of an agreement for individ-
ual disarmament. 1t was adopted
when men agreed to submit their diff
ferences to arbitration by their fell
lows. They were tired Of the old sys-
tenn under which those took who
would and those kept who could.
When the nations of the earth
adopt the same high system, there
win be no need for an agreement
rs to the size of ornaments, for then
ornaments will not be needed. We
can then scrap our navies and demob-
ilize our armies.
As a matter of fact we are going
at the thing backward when we try
to agree on the size of our arma-
ments. A nation maintains a navy
only because of the fear of war with
some other nation. If nation gets
into a war it will need bigger navy
than its enemy, and it would be
rather foolish to enter into an agree
ment as to the size of the navies to be
used.
Let us have an agreement to sub
nit national differences to arbitra-
ton, and to abide by the arbitration,
and we will get somewhere.
We can do this through a League
of Nations, or an Association of Ma
tions, but not through disarmament
conferences.
