LOUIS ESPOSITO IS RELEASED BY
 HIS ABDUCTORS
Says No Ransom Was Paid By FarniIyRe.
 iOicing at Home

New York, Oct 1g-(U.P. )--The family of Louis Esp0sito, 2s, and the neighbors celebrated until day. light to-day his safe return from kidnapers who had held him since Monday night for $e0.00O ransom. Louis returned to his home in the Bronx last night saying he had been released without payment of ransom. He was driven up to the house in the automobile of friend and dashed past a knot of reporters and curious into the arms of his family.
 Shortly afterwards, Lieutenant of Detectives Thomas Sullivan talked with the youth. He admit ted Louis return had been accom- plished without cooperation of the police. Members of the family had asked authorities not to interfere.
 His Homecoming was cause of great rejoicing in the neighbor- hood. Reporters, who from time to time had been shooed from the house by different members of the family, were invited to the party.
 In an interview, Louis father, Anthony, said to be moderately wealthy junk dealer, related that the youth was freed after the kid- napers discovered the family did not possess sufficient money to make the abduction profitable.
 He told how last Monday night, while Louis stopped his automo- bile for a red light, two men leaped in from another car and or- dered him to keep quiet. The men gave him pair of pasted-over glasses and made him lie down. Finally about two hours later, he was taken into an apartment. He had no idea of the location. Dur ing his captivity, the youth was treated with consideration. Last night, they put glasses on him again and drove him for about a half hour before letting him out with warning not to remove the spectacles for ten minutes.
 Early to-day District Attorney Foley of the Bronx and Henry Bruckman, Bronx inspector of de- tectives,, visited the Esposito home. They emerged a few min utes later and Foley said the fam lily was stubborn" He added the father might see him to-day.
 Only a few hours before Louis return the family acknowledged receipt of a ransom note from the kidnapers "A hours before.
 They said the note was deliver ed by a small boy, was written by Louis and contained instructions for payment of the demanded $26,- 900.

 N0thtC VI CItA"
 st Dominic, whose memory will be honored by this celebration, was born in Castiie, Spain, in 1170. He was ordained to the holy priest hood in 1i95. Spain claimed the first years of his ministry. After nine years in his native country he entered upon missionary ca reer in Southern France that was to make him one of the great fig ures of the 18th century. It was during this period of his apostolate that he founded the Order of Preachers which received papal ap- probation from Pope Honorius III in 1916.
 The principal cities of France and Italy witnessed the heroic la bors of this outstanding character in church history. St Dominic died in Bologna in 1921. His re- mains rest in the Basilica of San Domenico of that city in what is regarded as one of the most beau tiful tombs of the Old World. Pope Gregory xI canonized St Dominic in 1234.
 The community founded by St Dominic grew and spread rapidly. Within few years after his death, the FriarS, as DOmlnicanS are known, were making their way to the very outposts of the universe.
 Magnificent Membership
 The Dominican Order with a membership to-day of over 5000 priests, seminarians and brothers, is engaged in preaching, teaching, parochial and mission activities in all parts of the world. There are more than 800 priests and semin- arians in the United States. There are upwards of 10000 Dominican Sisters dedicated to teaching and hospital work and many other charitable engagements in more than 750 vities and towns in the United States. It is estimated that there are 10000 members of the Third Order of St Dominic for the iaity in this country.
 In the diocese of Hartford thero is one Dominican parish, that of St Mary at Hillhouse avenue, New Haven. The Dominican Sisters conduct one parish school, one aca- denny and the college of Albertus Magnus, all in New Haven.

ing hard to close the gap, between
a 10 to 10 score. ..
In the final period of the contest
Sank Centre scored three goals.
One was scored by Scanlon, an
other by Decree, and the last one
by Keldahl to close the scoring for
the locals at 16 points. Glenwood
picked up four field goals to close
their scoring at the close of the
game with a total of 81 points.
The local boys found it tough
going right from the start, and the
fight with which Glenwood met
them may have upset them. This
is the first game that the locals
have dropped by any such margin
as this one showed. Tech defeated
us by only one point, while we de-
feated Swanville and Upsala by
small margins, but in those games
the boys executed some real ball
handling. The passing in the Glen
wood game was not especially err
ratio, nor the shooting so weak;
the boys just couldn't have the
drive that their opponents had. The
boys picked up on their free throw
shooting scoring out of thirteen,
while Glenwood scored 1 out of
seven. Glenwood scored Is field

The second team contest took the
edge off the loss Of the main con-
test, for the seconds really showed
that they had the stuff and the
makings Of good team. It isn't
so important whether a second
team wins or not; it is in the pos
sibilites for developing ball club
that interest should lie. The locals
chalked up a total Of 10 points
while the Glenwood seconds made
a total of only IL points. Decree,
one of the small men on the team
trimmed three field goals and a
free shot to be high point man.
Cooper Melted two goals and show
ed some heady ball playing as
guard. Arvig, Minette, Dubois,
White, Walker, and Reble, all play
ed a good brand of ball consider
ing that for some this was their
first year at competitive playing.
The gap in the scoring was never
closed UP, and the local seconds
lead throughout the game with
Glenwood the closest at the half
which ended with the score at Is
to IL. The next years squad will
be comprised Of this team Of play
ers, and given chance they
should go far to give Sank Cen
tire a good team. The following is a

so much fun. I had hoped for an
other grizzly bear hunt but it was
too late and they were holed up.
I tried the lake for fishing and

four trips to another lake, where
we could take off with a load for

the most fun Of the trip by planning
