ATLANTANS DEFEAT
ASHEv|LLEPLAyERS
Buffalo and Lisbon Legion
Junior Teams to Clash
This Afternoon.

Asheville, N. c., was eliminated by
Atlanta, Ga, from the American Legion
junior base ball championship tourna-
ment when beaten, 6 to 4, this morning
In the first round Of the Eastern finals
at Griffith Stadium.
Buffalo, N. Y, and Lisbon Falls, Me-,
were to clash this afternoon at 8 O'Clock
III the presence of President Hoover and
q group Of high Government officials,
diplomatic, legislative and military
leaders.
A hard-luck story, the like Of which
seldom will be found in base ball, could
be told by the Asheville team. It was
without the services of Jack McJunkin,
its regular catcher. and the ineffective
work Of the Tar Heel battery was greatly
responsible for their downfall. Just be-
fore the ASheville team left town to
play in the regional tournament, Nc
Junkin, who is declared to be one of
the starrieSt "kid" ball players in North
Carolina, was nabbed by an older
brother and put to work. Asheville
used two catchers today. and neither
was effective.
Both had some diflculty in handling
the shoots Of slender youth named
Pinkston, who issued IS passes. In the
fourth inning he presented Atlanta with
two forced-over runs. He walked five
in this frame, and two battery errors
figured in the manufacture OF three
runs.
Atlanta made only three hits, but it
did not need many.

Omission of details of real estate
transactions in the legal documents
covering sales or transfers of property
may prove embarrassing at later date,
says the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards.
The matter Of including all pertinent
details in realty contracts Is SO i'm
portant for the successful consumma-
ton Of real estate deals that the bro
adopted a standard form of contract
containing clauses that provide for vari-
Gus contingencies. which is used by
members throughout the country.
What should be contained in real
estate contract for sale? The associa-
ton quotes It's general counsel, Gen.
Nathan william MacChesney Of Chi
cago, who says:
I'm the sale or exchange Of real
property it is highly desirable that a
sales contract should be used covering
the terms and conditions Of the sale
before the technical details are taken
up. There should be complete under
standing as to all the terms of the
SALE Nothing should be left undis-
cussed and unsettled, and after such
understanding is reached, so far as
possible, all of the terms and condi-
tons should be set forth In the sales
contract IF the seller intends to keep
his promises, he should have no oblec-
ton to putting them In writing. It is
not wise to rest anything on a mere
understanding between the parties, as
there is always a period which elapses
during which one of the parties to the
transaction may attempt to withdraw
from the agreement, much to the detri-
ment of the other party
"It frequently requires from so to rs
days to ascertain defects of title in a
piece of real estate and have them re-
moved. during which period, if there
is no binding contract setting forth the
agreement. the purchaser and seller
may get so hopelessly apart that the
sale or exchange may never be made.
The agreement should be signed by
both the seller and purchaser. 1t the
seller is married. the spouse should be
made party to and sign the contract.
This Is not always possible, but it Is
the safe way Of binding the dover
interest.
Neither party to contract should
be permitted to sign an incomplete
contract. The details afterward filed
In may be insignificant, something the
propriety of which no one could ques-
ton, for example. completing the de-
scription or indentifying a deed or
mortgage. But the very fact that any
change at all Is made leaves the door
open for like question to be raised as
to all the provisions of the contract.
Once it is proven that any change at all
has been made, however, slight. the
whole contract Is then in question and
depends on the bare word of those pres
ent when it was signed as to what the
contract contained. The parties to a
contract must be set forth with the
same precision as is required Ill deeds.

tenants or as tenants In common that

CIVIC GROUPS AID VALUE.
Community Organizations Work
Surveyed by Baltimore Realtors.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 9.--One of
the most important factors for holding
up values in any particular neighbor-
hood, according to realty developers
here, is the formation of some sort of
community organization that will take
upon itself the task of holding the
occupants of the houses In line so far
as Improvements are concerned.
A survey in and around Baltimore of
sections that boast of such organi-
cations shows these neighborhoods are
in better state of repair than other
localities that do not have such civic
groups, they say.

Coordination Need
In Research Cited

The necessity of giving studious atten-
ton to the outlining of new research
projects and scrutiny of them as to
detectives, point of attack and line of
procedure was recently indicated by DR..
E. w. Allen, chief of the Offices of ex-
perimental stations of the Department
of Agriculture. DR.. Allen pointed out
certain defects that are some times
exhibited by new projects. He classified
the defects as follows: Blanket pro-
posals, unduly broad and indefinite
failure to take due account of previous
work; defective technique; procedure
not adequate for attainment of the
detectives; demonstrations or purely
routine undertakings; and an assign
ment of inadequate support"
While it is true that some commercial
research suffers from such causes it is
not the rule. On the other hand such
mlsdirected research is the regular thing
in our universities. So called academic
freedom makes it next to impossible to
correlate research in a university and
it is for this reason that in comparison
to staff so much more is accomplished in
commercial organizations. If it were
possible to direct intelligently the affairs
OF large university the accomplish
ment of a single institution could be
made to compare faVorably with the
remaining host of universities and col
leges in America taken as a group. The

bring about such coordination, even In
