REALTORS move
TO STOP PEAK
MOVING DAYS

A move to eliminate the twice
yearly peak Of migration and shift.
Ing of apartment house tenants
which characterizes the first day Of
May and October in many cities,
and its attendant economic loss Is
seen In the resolution unanimously
passed by the Property Manage.
nent Division Of the National Asso.
ciation OF Real Estate Boards, in
which the division goes on record
as favoring twelve rental seasons q
year for apartment buildings.
According to reports made by
members Of the division at the
associations annual convention in
Boston. cities In. which leases are
written to expire at any date dur.
ing the year have. solved the NOV.
ing day problem satisfactorily.
The tenant finds the realtor in a
position to give much time and at
tentlon to each individual housing
problem, the decorator Is not rushed
and can carry out his customers
instructions to satisfactory re-
suit, the moving companies laborers
do not have to work overtime. SO
that moving is less expensive and
the housewife goes to the furniture
store for special pieces for the new
home and finds large selection and
immediate delivery. rather than the
depleted stock and the Sorry,
madam, we cannot promise delivery
on this piece within two weeks!"
Chicago realtors report that,
through the program of the Chicago
Homes Economic Council, which is
making a stand for twelve annual
rental periods in that city, the peak
moving days are gradually passing
and that during the past year 10O..
600 leases were written to expire at
dates other than October first and
May first. The New Orleans Real
Estate Board is cooperating with the
chamber Of commerce of that city
in an effort to distribute leases
throughout the year in New Orleans.
The Board of Realtors of the Oranges
and Maplewood, New Jersey, is
making a study of local leasing and
moving with a view to the advisable
ity Of recommending staggered
leases to the communities served by
the board.

city, county and region. at estab-
lished centers Of child population.
they form also the centers most
convenient for ehildren's play
grounds.
Each such center requires from
one to two acres for school build
ings alone, an average OF six acres
for Fairgrounds and ball fields for
small children and children from
6 to IL years of age. with separate
proximately two acres more for
park and the dense border planta.
ton necessary to screen out both
playground and school from abut-
ting property.
r Playground systems In many
cities have suffered because the
grounds were equipped, but not
supervised or fenced. A public
playground without supervision is
worse than no playground at all,
and leads to damage suits and other
difficulties. Also it, is impossible to
properly conduct a playground that
IL not fenced.
Screen Of Shrubs
ITO be a good neighbor each
school and playground should be
thickly planted with a screen of
shrubs and trees 20 to 40 feet wide,
outside the playground fence.
"It Is well established fact
that residential property facing a
public park gains in a few years
10 to 90 per cent more value than
property not near. a park. On the
other hand property facing ill.kept,
unfenced and implanted school
buildings and grounds is often
deprecated in value. A clear under.
standing Of this on the part Of
property owners would soon bring
them to convince public authorities
to keep these grounds in better
condition.
"For the sizes of Fairgrounds. the
1O.26-40 acre program seems to be
coming into general use.
Ten Acres for Schools
This means acquiring 10 acres
for elementary school and play.

apart, 25 acres for junior high
school and playfield sites about two
miles apart, and 40 acres for senior
high school and playfield sites about
three miles apart in closely built up

require somewhat larger areas.

the withdrawal of world titular recog-
milton Of AL Brown as bantam cham
pion. The high handed demand Of the
British board is in line with its usual
policy Of having its own way about
things pugilistic in the British Isles.
Stanley M. Isaacs Of Cincinnati,
president of the National Boxing ASso-
citation, leaves himself open to criticism
by bowling to the demand Of the BritonS.
Just why Brown should be made the
ored lad is the best 11S-pounder In the
world and had Teddy Baldock, then
English champion, cared to dispute his
title in the ring he, could have done
so several months ago.
Baldock was In this country for the
oStensible purpose of meeting Brown.
Ted left. the country quietly. saying
that he could no longer make the
weight and therefore could not tight
Brown for the world bantamweight title.
Mix-up Somewhere.
This does not jihe with the claims of
the British board, How Baldock ex-
poets to save his face after his state
ment that he cannot make the bantam
weight poundage is question for him
to answer.
Last September the British Board of
Boxing Control sent its secretary to
Chicago to attend the meeting Of the
National Boxing Association. The ques-
ton Of Baldock's status was. raised.

POCKET BILLIARD
PLAY-OFF TONIGHT
GreenIeaf Confident Under
Strain Beating Taberski
to Tie for Title.

ny the Associated Press.
~ ErROIT, December le-Erwin
Rudolph Of Chicago finally
was stopped. As q result OF
H. Of Ralph Greenleaf's victory by
l25 to 70 in 10 innings at the
Recreation last night, the two players
now are tied as the world championship
tournament ends with six games won
and one lost. The play-oT is set for
tonight.
Greenleaf was the superior to Ru-
dolph under the severe strain. He broke
away with a run Of 80 in the third
inning, but this advantage soon was cut
down when Rudolph replied with 81 in
his half. A duel Of safety followed, with
a few scratches thrown in. Rudolph
began to feel the strain and three times
during the match he missed on easy
shots. Greenleaf, on the other hand,
was confident and careful. He played
with plenty of skill and Self-aSsurance.
During that run of 80 1t seemed GER.
tain that Greenleaf was going to run
out the game and that final score would
be l2S to 8. On his ninetieth shot,
which was the ball in the corner at
the foot Of the table, he overcut the
break on the 10. He got the position,
but missed the Z.
Rudolph Misses Easy One.
Rudolph made the IS, then ran down
and got fine position behind the 7. He
pocketed the ball and his cue ball
ricocheted up the table, crashed into
the bunch and he was of on his run
that terminated at 81 when he failed
on an easy shot in the side. It was a
miss just as easy on the Z ball In the
second inning that halted Rudolph after
running 8.
Rudolph had two chances near the
finish, but failed on easy efforts. Once
he broke through Greenleaf's safety
with a sensational "kick-back" shot
into the bunch, then back to the Z.
which rolled into the corner pocket.
He ran 4 more and retired to his chair
when he missed on the 10 ball, which
was only 3 inches from the corner
pocket.
Greenleaf replied with 10 and gave
every indication of running out when
he made a daring one-cushion break
shot on the three. He got the ball, the
break, but his cue ball glided off the
pack and shot far down the table and
into the corner pocket. With the balls
spread 1t looked as though Rudolph
would do much damage. He made the
six, then missed an easy shot on the
IL for the side. That was his last eff
fort, as Greenleaf quickly pocketed the
required IL points.
