Heurieh Loop to Confer
On Eligibility Code

A meeting of the Heurich ANA
teur Baseball League to discuss the
eligibility code will be held next
Tuesday afternoon at S o'clock in
Heurich's business Office. The meet
ing was called after ban was placed
on three Delaware and Hudson play
ers by the District A. A. U. when
charges of professionalism were
lodged against them.
Not only were the Delhuds forced
to give up these players, but they
also had to forfeit the six games
it had won to take the league lead.
1t also had to postpone its sched-
uled game with Little Tavern last
night because it could not put a

Great Preparer for
College Coaching
HoIos Of Beers Expects

To Turn Mentors
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-A few years
Of professional football. says George
Halas. owner of the Chicago Bears,
is the ideal preparation for COL
lege football coach.
"A boy with pro experience Is
much better qualified to coach COL
lege players than the boy who goes
into coaching Immediately after
graduation, Halas contends.
THE pros know more football and
they learn how to get along with
and handle players. Why. I've had
recruits from college who had to be
taught the fundamentals of the
game all over again after they
joined the Bears"
Points to Battles and Smith.
But can pro football afford to
lose such stars as Cliff Battles and
Riley Smith, formerly of the Wash
ington Redskins? Battles. the Ma
tional Pro Leagues leading ground
gamer in 1887, quit last year to take
an assistant coachship at Columbia,
and Smith, blocking back. will join
the Washington and Lee coaching
staff next fall
II don't think this hurts pro ball
at ALL" said Halas. I'm fact. it is
healthy situation. It enables the
boys to getosnto permanent pro-
fession and affords us a chance to
take on fresh talent from the
schools.
1.-The Bears probably will lose Joe
Stydahar, all-league tackle, and
Frank Bausch, center, before next
season. Both are in line for college
coaching jobs.
Reach Peak Before 30.
But I figure it this way. I have
decided from observation that
backf1eld man is at his peak around
81 and a lineman about two years
later. So after a college boy spends
from five to eight years in the game
he should be quitting and getting
into some less strenuous business
with more of a future.
''Of course, there have been ex-
ceptions. I have seen some pros
who were plenty good after they
turned 80, but that doesn't apply to
the general run of players"
Halas should know what he's talk
ing about. He played college foot
ball and followed that with a spell
as pro. Now he coaches the Bears
and runs the clubs front Office as

about it was that 8 of them were

but once.
Something overlooked by many
at last nights game was his good
defensive work. AS part of the

sponsible for breaking st. Johns

Late in the game when the Johnnies

Zone Defense Troublesome.
st. Johns appeared as though it
may have trouble against a zone
defense this season. During the
first three periods it averaged but
S points per period, and only in
the last frame, when the Indians
desperately tried to take the ball

NEW YORK, Dec. 20. The
striking increase in attendance and
interest in professional sports. par
ticularly pro football, was singled
out today as the outstanding sports
trend of 1898.
More than so separate trends were
noted by the 10 sports editors par
ticipating in the 9Th annual Asso-
ciated Press sports poll, but the
main emphasis was placed on the
growth o. professional attractions
with pro football as the bell-wether.
Better showmanship was credited
with at least share in the upward
move in attendance. not only for
football but also far baseball and
racing: Rules changes, it was noted,
had speeded up such other games
as hockey, basket ball and college
football with. beneficial results at
the box Office. A sharp increase in
the number of woman fans helped
baseball in attendance and both
baseball and football were aided by
the increase in night games.
Participation Sports Expand.
Oddly enough. the general at
tendance rise in spectator sports
has been accompanied by remark

sports as skiing, skating, bowling.
badminton and softball, although
one observer thought the last
named sport was on the downgrade
A long series of trends, largely
technical, were noted in football.
especially the college brand. Among
these were the trends toward heavier
scoring. more field goals, greater use
of the forward pass as consistent
gamer, increased use of side-line
punting, a sharp letdown in lateral
passing and other forms of 'razzle
dazzle" in favor of less risky offensive
maneuvers and heavy increased use
Of the reverse.
Although one observer felt there
was less recruiting and subsidizing
in college fotball, others remarked
on a general easing Of the official
bans on such practices. Several
made a point of the tremendous
growth of six-man and 150-pound
football as well as increased inter-
est in the high school brand. Others
noted a better balance between small
and large college football, indicat-
ing less concentration of football
material in the big schools.
Golf Meet Interest Wanes.
In baseball several critics drew
attention to the unprecedented epi-
demic of sore arms among outstand-
ing pitchers and concluded that the
lively ball could be blamed at least
in part. Noted also was the New
York Yankees complete domination
of major league baseball and the
efforts Of their rivals to match the
world champions in sheer power.
Lower golf scores were accom-
panied by decreased interest in
tournament golf in the opinion of
several sports editors. Others COM
mented on the decline in boxing
and wrestling, especially the latter.
Other trends noted included: In
creased emphasis on the team rather
than the individual, increased capi-
talizing on sports regulations by
outstanding stars, the widespread
hiring of minor league figures as
major league managers and the over
balance of the offense in almost
every sport.

Modefnistic Style
Of Architecture
Has Had Fling
Georgian Type Fovored
By American People,
Says A. {. Allen

The modernistic type of archi-
lecture has had Its fling and the
American people are finding that
they can have the Georgian or ira
ditional homes which emphasize
their heritage and traditions, but
with plenty Of modern advantages,
in the opinion of Arthur E. Allen of
New York, one of the Nations most
successful designers of small homes.
Mr.. Allen, who has been the archi-
tect for more than $4,000 homes
throughout the Nation in the past
II years, believes that Americans
have no heart for the "nudist''
house, as he terms the modernistic
dwelling. He declared that a ma
jority of American architects, as well
as private home buyers, are shun-
ming extreme designs to such an ex-
tent that modernistic styles are
barred in many suburban COM
munities. Home buyers again are
appreciative of Colonial styles and
other examples of pure Georgian
design which have made the public
familiar with the enduring charm
and dignity of buildings of that
period, he said.
Modern Standards Kept.
Colonial, Americana looking homes
can be constructed without sacriflc-
ing the space and light which con-
stitute a chief virtue of modern
istic architecture, Mr.. Allen said.
1T has been possible to improve
upon the Colonial type of house in
keeping with changing standards
of living and modern trends and still
retain the inherent charm for
Americans of this type of architec-
ture.
The newer homes of Georgian
design have picked up the out
standing good points of the modern
trend, notably the large windows
that make home life more enjoyable.

Mystery of Steam Heat Plant
That BuIks at Stokers Solved

The mystery of the home steam
heating plant that develops tenn
permanent and refuses to function
properly when automatic firing with
oil burners or stokerS is added has
been cleared up by laboratory
workers
In nine cases out of 10, they say,
the fault is in the venting system
which, designed for the more or less
continuous flow of steam character
istic- of the hand-fired heating plant,
encounters difficulty when utilized
in the automatically operated
system.
They point out that in contrast
to hand firing the automatic burner
is either all "on" or all "off" and
that all venting as we'll as all heat
ing must be accomplished during
the "on' period. Because venting
must precede heating and because
the firing period is limited, the
time factor in venting becomes all
important. Also the home auto

An Economic Problem.
Mr.. Allen pointed out that buyers.
builders and architects must con-
stantly keep in mind the fact that
q house Is primarily an economic
problem, that it must supply max
imum OF comfort over the longest
possible period of time at a mini
mum of cost, and still retain the
greatest possible intrinsic value.
A Georgian type of home is not
dated" nor is it limited to the
mere present needs or whims of the
owner, the architect declared.
"Of course, the major reason for
traditional architecture persisting
in popular preference is based di-
rectly on the individuals idea of
what home should be-" Mr.. Allen
concluded. when Americans think
of Home, Sweet Home now they
think of the traditional homes
which have been a part of our his
tory, and the fact that these have
been brought up to date by the use
of plentiful windows and the latest
in fittings and materials does not
alter that basic concept. but merely
enhances the appreciation"

controlled by a thermoStat on the
first floor and as the flrst-floor
rooms without proper venting heat
up before the second-foor rooms,
the thermostat either shuts off the
firing device before the second floor
is heated or overheatS the first floor
in order to get proper temperature
on the second floor. To meet these
dltflculties there is new fast
venting system that not only begins
to function as soon as the firing
device starts, but also automatically
varies the port openings in the air
valves SO that air in the system is
expelled in its proper proportion
throughout the house and admits
heat evenly to the radiators. It's
venting rate is many times faster
than the average. 1t vents the
air mains, risers and radiators
throughout the system Immediately
after the burner begins it's "on"
cycle, starts venting of all radiators
simultaneously and regulates the
flow OF steam to each radiator. This
is done with large venting ports
cleverly introduced into normal
size valves, which at as little as two
ounces of pressure discharge air
from the whole system and give the
heat immediate access to the radia-
tors. At higher pressures a patented
automatic modulator reduces the
port opening to that of the conven-
tlonal valve. The design of the unit
prevents any hiss. sizzling or splitting
and all danger of clogged orifice

Land Values Higher.
although it might be expected
that property costs would vary ac-
cording to the size of the cities in
which they were located, such was
not reported as the case. Average
land values were higher in the large
cities than the small, despite much
smaller plot areas; but the average
value of land and building COM
bined did not vary uniformly by city
size groups.
In cities of over 100000 popu-

highest average cost ($7,265) was in
