ance at the the New River and

Season To Open
Tomorrow Night
All Teams Well Prepared For A
Strenuous Season

Homestead, Pa, Nov. 3O-We
have again reached the portion of
the year when the focus of all
eyes and minds are turned to the
subject of who will be the Bas-
ketball League.With this thought
in mind we should not fail to re-
member that winning the game
is only half the purpose of play
ing 5all but with an eye toward
the unification of the young Sax
on people IN this country. Let US
endeavor to keep our sports on
the nigh standards that we have
maintained so far. If we can re-
member that the friends that are
made during these years of par
ticipation in our sports are the
ones that we will appreciate in
later years we will undoubtedly
refrain from any unsportsmanlike
acts.
Al teams are asked to observe
the custom of the one minute of
silence in memory of our departed
members. All the old members
of the league are familiar with
this ritual ard all the new ones
will have been notified by perso-
nal letters of the exact procedure
to follow.
Il is only fitting that these de-
parted friends be accorded the
one minute o. reverence that we
can give them which will be so
very little for their memory.
All managers will please be
prompt in submitting their box
scores to the President of the AS
soc;ation. Box scores should be
maned on Sunday night to insure
their prompt arrival in Cleveland.
Failure to comply with the dead
line will result in the assessment
of fine on all late reports. We
must place this fine on these late
reports in order to conform with
the paper deadline which is Tues
day morning.
Tomorrow's games will bring
together the following teams:
The Lorain tornado will be the
guests of the new member of the
League, Alliance.The ever strong
Salem team will meet the Monaco
group in what will prove to be
real test for the Salem Quakers.

complaints because the business
men and manufacturers are still
able. 70 show fair profit.
MIR. Jourdau, now Is years old,
left Germany when he was 23 and
he ltmembers the old country of
that era as administered by Kaiser
Wilhelm.
"Now that I've been back there
and looked around, talked with
the people. I think Germans of
today are much better off than
they were under the Kaiser"
The poor people, for one thing,
he said, are better taken care of.
Unemployment is at minimum
with the government ready to
take on any one who cannot work
in the regular channels.
Tie town in which Mr.. Jour-
dan visited was not in the immed-
late war zone although one night
he cid hear the rattle of machine
guns and anti-aircraft weapons as
terrific air battle between the
Germans and British took place
some 10 miles away. That was as
close as he got to the war at any
time
A" to the war itself, Jourdan
said, most German people believe
Hitler will lead them to victory
over the allies.
The country, he said, is we'll
prepared, has an excellent armv
and Air corps and apparently can
withstand a war of long duration.
While there he questioned Ger
many's sudden alliance with her
once-hated neighbor, Russia.
"The people there have recon-
ciled themselves that it was the
easiest way out of bad situation.
In war, Germany needed the aid
of Russia
Mr.. Jourdan spent almost a
month trying to get back to this
country. He had planned to leave
from Holland but when he arrived
was ordered to return to Ger
many because all ships were
crowded and booked far ahead.
He returned to Waldorf and
late in October went to Italy. He
arranged passage on the "Rex"
and sailed from Genoa, arriving
in New York week ago.
Mr.. Tourdan is a retired con-
tractor here.
