DAVIS AND MARION
WITH BRONX QUINTET
ON SATURDAY N|eA!y1l
'of the

The Bronx Protest. onals, with
Harry Davis. Willie Marion and
RUDE Gordon, basketeers we'll known
throughout this section, will stack
forces against the Perth Amboy bas-
ketball quintet OF Messrs. Lowenkopf
and Levin on the latter's Auditorium
court this Saturday night.
Davis and Marion played with the
Amboys last season. and Gordon per-
formed on the local court on numer-
Gus occasions during the past two
seasons. All three boys have their
followers in this county, and Satur-
days encounter should be as inter-
esting as a battle between two local
quintets.
One of the greatest successes reg
istered by the Professionals this sea-
son was the apparently easy victory
scored over the crack Bayview
Wheelman quintet of Newark o.. the
latter's court. The Bayview Wheel
man tenn is considered stronger
than ever this winter, and a victory
for the Pros over this club is a win
out of the ordinary.
In the coming encounter Davis will
oppose Pete Eggers, the man who
has succeeded him in the pivot posi-
ton for the state champions. There
has been considerable talk about the
ability of Eggers and Davis sirce
the start of the season. and the two
will have an interesting battle in
Saturdays contest.
Willie Davis will have a speedy
man to team up with in the ad-
vanced berths. and Rube Gordon
will hold down one of the guarding

SECOND LOCAL TEAM
WILL START SEASON
HERE THIS EVENING

Judging past performances Of the
Danbury Separates. of New York
City, and the class shown by the
st. Mary Speedway basketeers, in

tosser, in the backfield, the Speed
ways should go big this year. Bob

way, may play in the second or third
contest. He was operated on recent
ly for appendicitis.
Separate Five
Basketball fans throughout this
county we'll remember the two sem
sational battles fought by the Speed
ways of two seasons ago and the
Danbury Separates. The Separates
are exceptionally fine passers and
every member of the team is known
to be a good shot.
The Danbury club Is recognized as
one of the leading semi-pro basket
ball teams in the East today, and
last season made a creditable show
ing against the Perth Amboy Big
Five, recognized New Jersey state
champions.
"Chuck'' Solador, we'll known big
league referee, will do the officiating
in all contests to be played by the
Speedways on the lyceum court this
winter. Solador also referees for the
Amboys on the Auditorium court
Saturday nights. Fred O'Brien's new
Royal Serenaders will furnish music
for dancing this evening.
Real Interest
Tonight's encounter will be the
first real basketball game to be play
ed on the spacious court of st.
Mary's high school building. Due to
the fact that the team will hold
forth on the lyceum court every
Wednesday night, parishioners of the
CsA-A,@ - ATNAI-~s txAAA ,,.A
will recognize the team as their own.
Father Larkin has worked hard to
make semi-pro basketball one of the
events for the new lyceum and a
worth while quintet has been organ-
ICED for the purpose.
Many fans in the local Auditorium
mourned last night the kayo defeat
suffered by "Mussy'' Lewis, their
popular fiyweight.
Corporal Izzy Schwartz. one of
New York's f1yweight sensations,
could not be secured for a bout with
Joe Colletti, in this city, so Indian
Russell, former fyweight champion
challenger, has been signed.
Billy Lewis, of Westield, blamed
lack of condition and a carbuncle on
his neck for his defeat of last night.
He will meet Jackson at a later date.
Mickey Slifkin, high school run
ming star, was around as usual last
night chirping that a boy" He has
been raised from soda seller to
usher.
Joe Manning's fighting way
Pleased the crowd last night and the
fans were with him throughout his
six round bout.
The 1920 seats were slow filling
last night. The crowd as a whole
vas fairly good.
"Chuck'' Solador, of Newark,
made quite an impression announc-
ing the fights last night.
Announcements by "Chuck' Soda
dor regarding the opening st. Mary
Speedway game tonight and the
Bronx Professionals appearance here
Saturday night were well received.
The proposed Battling Hazel

Hazel is colored and it is said the

It is the consensus of opinion Of 500
growers of purebred and grade live
stock who were questioned by the
United States Department Of Agrcul-
ture that the purebred sire is from 10
to 400 per cent better than the ordi-
nary sire. This applies to all classes
Of live stock. Many Of the men who
replied to the departments question
naire gave figures and specific in
stances to back up what they had to
say regarding the remarkable improve
ment effected in a relatively short time.
In reply to the question as to the
value OF their example in inducing
others In the community to take up
improved live stock most of these
farmers and breeders said that they
had been the means of starting at least
two or three, and one man who had
been raising purebreds for 40 years
said he had influenced every man in

Apropose Of the recent disarmament

son" he says: 1T Ii certain, 1 think.
that II the fleets Of England. France
and Holland wsrs confederatsd they
could propose with effect a Limitation
and 4 general dismantling OF all the
navies Of Europe to a certain proper

new ships Of war should be built by
any power In Europe, themselves In
cluded. Secondly, that all Of the ma

1t is often said that good letters,
such as our father ana grandmothers
used to write and receive, are no long
er written. The pressure Of modern
life is such, 50 1t is argued. and the
rush 80 great, that there is no time
for the pursuit Of letter writing as an
art. One can not read the letters, say
Of Horace Walpole, without being con-
scious that something Of beauty and
value has disappeared from our life.
Something must be done II an old and
gracious art Is not to be permanently
lost, lost with the belief that educa-
ton and refinement really have some
value and charm.

SOCK BANK

The postal savings banks are out for
the money nIuden away In various
crude, old-time caches-such as the de-
crepIt teapot In the cupboard, the
kitchen clock, the mattress and the
stocking end. Great wealth awaits the
successful profteers In these rich un-
worked lodes, says the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The first French effort
under Ferdinand de Lessups to dig the
Panama canal was financed largely by
funds secreted in those ways among
the peasants. Part Of the western
shore Of Newfoundland is still called
the Gold Coast because Of treasure
earthbound In cans, inferred by those
who lost confidence in banks after two
disastrous failures at st. Johns. Every
such collapse means a further with
drawal Of timorous investors and de-
positors, many Of them aliens, who for
years ere they came here carried all
their worldly goods about with them
where they wandered. Part of the
work of Americanization rightly may
be TO ensender In the new arrival a
warranted confidence In the fiscal
solvency Of banking institutions. The
postal savings bank pays low rate
Of interest. But any rate of interest Is
more than the cracked sugar bowl or
the threadbare stockings as a mere
productive repository returns. It is
the Scriptural story Of the buried tai
ent over again.
