the pride and Joy Of Neapolitan
| fandom, the Tile Settlers, Industrial
League champs and sandlot contempt
raries Of the now obsolete r. r, Keanes,
drew first blood in the city series by
downing Capital Traction, IL to Q.
Though sending their followers into
transports Of ecstasy, the Tile Settlers
were hardly impressive in the victory,
for the play of both teams was about
as weird an exhibition as seen on the
sAndlots, and that's taking In lot Of
territory. Both the triumphant and de-
feated teams furnished sandlot sages
with the opinion that II the Tile Settlers
ind TrOlleymen are to get anywhere
In the series. they'll have TO perk up
outside Of big third inning In which
the Tile Settlers scored times, the
game was DUH, with both teams APP
parently intent on outdoing the other
In making misplays. The Tile Settlers
had three errors, four wild pitches and
three passed balls charged against them,
three Wild pitches and three passed
balls.
Joe Presents hitting was the only
bright feature Of the game. Freschi,
former New York Yankee recruit,
sccked four singles In four times at bat
and played bang-up game af1eld.
ToDAY'5 game bringing together
L Pullman and the Calvary brakes
should be a humdinger. It's some
thing Of an innovation for the George
town Church League to enter team In
the series that's not slated for q lowly
position. The brakes present nifty
collection of tossers and should 90 far
toward deciding the title.
Calvary is unfortunate in drawing
the champs In the first game, but Pull
man is not without disadvantage.
The Terminal League ended almost
three weeks ago, and since that time
the sleepers have played only two
games, once against Hibbs and once
against the Ftremen.

 Of course. some kinds of trade have suffered worse than others in the current spasm. No doubt fewer luNuries have been purchased Of late, and Of those purchased during the Christmas season perhaps the value was less than formerly. But the broad general fact remains that the state Of retail trade has been beyond the expectations Of many of the mer- chants who, reading of tales of woe in the newspapers, became quite convinced that the seasons best shopping period would be a terrible disappointment.
 That there has not been as general a share taken in this buying move ment is ought to have been the case is generally and frankly admitted.

Power of Suggestion Improves Weighing Business.

Getting weighed-like measles runs in epidemics. Last Saturday Christmas shopper was parked be- side a scale while his wife went to the rear of the store to make pur- Chases. For about 15 minutes he stood by the scale and hundreds of shoppers passed it and ignored it. Then woman decide to weigh her. self. Putting her basket on d near by radiator she handed her overcoat to her son and dropped her penny. She announced the result to him in German. No sooner had she left the scale than a man, who didn't look like the sort that would give a rap about his weight also mounted the scale. Right after him another wom- an stopped, weighed herself and handed the card to her little girl who read the figures off in Polish. Then a young tlappcr, just d trifle too heavy from too many hot fudge sundaes, deposited her cent and frowned at the result. That seemed to make the end of that particular epidemic for the scale didn't get an- other customer for the next ten min- utcs and then the shopping wife re- turned 10 her husband and the tab- lation was brought to an end.

 IL is easy to visualize either or both officials claiming justification for q policy of stinginess with words. They might have insisted on giving out only meagre details and claimed immunity from criticism on the ground that they were not in a position 10 make definite announce mCnts or they might have profcssed fear that they would be misquot- cd. Meanwhile, press and public would have been seething with un- certainty More and more rumors than actually gained circulation would certainly have been spread about the state and every passing day would have added to the con- fusion. Their outspoken policy and their willingness to make careful explanation of the technical and legal procedure constituted a splcn- did public service. and it is hoped that other officials. when tempted to screen their movements in times when only the fullest publicity can allay the honest fears of a multi rIde, will take pattern after Messrs. ShippCc and King
