TO the Evening Telegram:

To the Evening Telegram:
We Americans are a progressive
people, continually taking up some
new proposition and trying to educate
the public up to the new idea. This
makes us progressive, of course, but
leaves Us with an expense bill all the
while. The Chinese and Japanese pur-
sue different course. They find out
what the public wants and then pro
coed to supply it. Here is the differ
ence between a progressionist and a
follower. We lead the way and foot
the bill of education and these foreign
er3 come in and reap the benefits of
our labors without going through with
the long, tedious and expensive pro-
cess of education.
Because our once extensive ranges
are being more and more restricted
for homes for our rapidly increasing
population and for agricultural pur-

PRISONS IN THE OTHER WORLD;
CROOKS TOO. SAYS SIR OLIVER LODGE

Self destruction has always
stood as a way out to men and
women whose moral fibre has not
been able to withstand the pressure
of life. In Christian countries to-
day, suicide is an evidence of weak
ness. II is the neurotic's escape
from himself and his environment.
But does the suicide really escapeP
SirOlivcr Lodge, in an article in
the August number of Hearst's In
ternational Magazine, says mo"
"Suic;de is futile" he declares.
eve no more escape from exist
ence when we die than when we
emigrate. We change our sur
roundings, not ourselves, and in 50
far as our trouble is intimately
associated with our own defects.
our faults Of character, our weak
ness or our clinging vice, we shall
find on arrival at the other side
that all these things are still with
us, that we must suffer punishment
beyond what we had anticipated,
and carry on an existence intensi-
fed by the pangs of helpless re-
morse.
oblivion is inaccessible. You
cannot attain it; it is selfish as well
as futile to wish for it. The con-
sequences of your acts remain: why
should you alone escape them? In
the effort to attain the impossible
you are counting disaster and
plunging yourself into agonies of
remorse. If you have led an i'll
spent life, reform it; do not seek to
terminate it by a still more i'll
advised death"
Sir Oliver declares that he has
received a communication from
friend who had taken his own lifl
Just what happens to a suicide on
the other side. Sir Oliver is not
quite certain. The suicide he talked
with found himself in captivity, in
some sort of a reformatory appar-
emily" The suicide was called back
before he had time to finish his
conversation.
In concluding his article, Sir
Oliver points to the infinite posi-
bilities of existence, which he says
cannot be overestimated.
"The very pains and sufferings of
this present life are witness to
the grandeur of that for which it is
a preparation. Those who arraign
the Deity for allowing human suf-
fering, little realize what the future
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1922-08-10

has in store. Many lofty souls must
have already risen to the conception
and to the experience; only they
are beyond our ken.
Existence is surely as large and
magnificent now as it will ever be
in the future; the Universe is a
going concern. The realities are
all there. it is we who must attain
to them. We can DO so only by
obeying the rules. by doing our bit,
by biding our time. There is no
short cut, there is no hurrying the
eternal process" But he says, if
death is offered to US on our way, it
must not be shirked.
"That may be one of our highest
opportunities. The self-foreseen
death of the man or woman who
risks life at the call of duty-be it
that of physician or nurse or soldier
or fireman or sailor or mine rescue
worker-that is no suicide"

NEW YORK POST
TEAM BEATEN
Captain BeIvidore Brooks
Legion Quintet Defeated
by BeauvaiS Post

The Captain Belvider Brooks Post,
American Legion basketball team
of New York bowed in defeat to
the Beauvais Post American Legion
quintet of Tottenville on the Pleas
ant Plains court, Saturday night.
At the conclusion of forty minutes
of play the score was 50-35.
Covell and Preacher were the
leading scorers for the home team
in this game. while Arnold and
Small featured for the visitors in
the scoring department. At half
time Beauvais Post was leading by
a score of 1914.
on Friday night the Montanas of
Stapleton defeated the st. Peters
Club of New Brighton, 1886 in the
first game Of the three cornered
series to decide the champions of
the island. The game was played
at New Brighton.
Next Saturday night the Beauvais
Post team will have the st. Peters
Club team as their opponents on the
Pleasant Plains court. This will be
the first game for the Beauvais Post
team in the series. On Sunday af-
ternoon the Beauvais Post quintet
will travel to Stapleton to play the
Montanas in a series game. A spe-

In a game as brilliantly played as
any staged on the Auditorium court
this season the Perth Amboy Speed
ways Saturday night defeated the
crack Startling Greys of New York.
basketball champions of the Bronx,
by a score of 1881. The value of
this victory can be best estimated
when it is taken into consideration
that the Greys defeated the New
York Whirlwinds and the Whirl-
winds defeated the National Turner's
of Newark.
Once again the brilliant play of
David Hank Thomas, New York
and New Jersey state league star
and veteran of numerous court bat
ties in this vicinity, stood out prom
inently. The team work of the
SpeedwayS against the Startling
Greys was even better than the
previous week when the Bayview
Wheelman quintet of Newark went
down to defeat on the local court.
The other players on the Speedway
roster are fast getting on to the
speedy and snappy machine work
of their pivot man.
Thomas scored twenty-one points
in this game, three from the field
and fifteen from the foul line. HIS
pacoiiiS VA puliu iOOA VIZ
was of a S great Importance as his
scoring in this contest. The fact
that eighteen fouls were committed
on Thomas alone plainly shows that
the New Workers were ready to give
one point any time rather than to
allow the local pivot man to have
the ball for any length of time.
The Ray Handerhan-Sutton ad-
vanced combination worked in classy
fashion against the Startling Greys.
The first mentioned tosser collected
three double counters when they
were most needed in the second
period, and Sutton %garnered his
double counter when the points
were in demand during the same
session. Brownmiller and Z BOB
Handerhan worked well on the de-
Tense, holding the advanced men of
the Greys TO three field goals.
The opening period was played
one-hand dribble. Although this is
the Speedways regular game the
Greys jumped off in front when
Siefert dropped in a double counter
on the first jump ball. The going
vas nip and tuck for the first ten
minutes, the Greys holding the adj
vantage during the greater part OF
this time. During the next five
minutes the lead changed hands
several times, but a squirt in the
: last five minutes gave the/ home

Sailor Hammer, crack Brooklyn
fIyweight expects ia put Joe Col
letti, Poughkeepsie 107 FOUNDER
away early in their scheduled eight
round bout at the Police Social Club
smoker to be staged in the Audito-
RUM on New Brunswick avenue next
Friday night. If the Brooklyn bat
tier accomplishes this feat it will
be the first time Colletti has ever
taken the full count.
Reports from Brooklyn are to the
effect that the sailor is training
harder than ever for this match.
This match with Colletti is of great
importance to the Brooklyn repre-
sentative in the flyweight division
lparticularly inasmuch as Mickey
Nelson. frankie Genaro and the
Poughkeepsie battler may be booked
in a tournament to decide h next
opponent of Johnny Buff for the fly
weight title.
Hammer while in Panama, fought
three twenty round draws with Mid
get Smith. the crack New Yorker.
He has also fought Buck Josephs,
Mickey Nelson and many other good
boys in the fyweight division. The
handlers Of the Brooklynite are well
aware Of the ability of Colletti, and
the record the Poughkeepsie boy
made since the start of his fistic
career.

Sensational shooting and all
around work by Ed "Blackie" Regain
was mainly responsible for h
Roosevelt Separates ninth straight
victory of the season on Coughlin's
Auditorium court in Roosevelt last
night. The final score of this game
was 1922. The contest was fought
nip and tuck from the first whistle.
Bayonne Whirlwinds furnished the
opposition.
PLAYING man for man the Whirl-
winds succeeded in stemming the
registry work of four of the Roose-
volt players, but Weisoly found 1t
impossible to stop Regain. and as a
result the local star was responsible
for fifteen of his teams points. He
scored six times from the field and
three times from the foul line.
Between Regan and Pete Hansen
the Separates had twenty-three
points, enough to offset the scoring
of the entire Bayonne combination.
In the opening period the Separates
scored six field goals to four o the
Whirlwinds, while the home players
made good eight foul tries to six by
the opposition. The score at half
time was 20-14. In this period
Regain and Hansen were responsible
for sixteen of the twenty points.
The Whirlwinds played the home
players even in the second period,
each team being credited with eight
points in this session. The Whiri-
winds, however, were not successful
in their efforts to cut down the six
point lead of the Separates at half
time.
