Îhe Post Office Federals und the
Standard Underground Cable Com
pany's Wires, completed their sched
ule in the Industrial League at the Y.
M. C. A. last night, when the Feds
won three games by default rrom their
opponents, who did not put in an ap
pearance to complete their schedule.
Odd to relate, the games place the
teams at the polee of the standing,
the Federals stepping into first place
over the heads of the Terra Cotta
Moulders and the A. S. & R. Guggles,
who still have matches to roll. Tho
Post office team stands a good chance
of copping first place as both of the
other teams have two matches still to
roll, one against each other und then
against other teams in postponed
games. The match between the two,
who are now tied for second place, will
be rolled off on Monday night. The
postponed matchcs will bo rolled as
soon as possible.
The Wires have completed their |
not having won a game. They did'
■chadule with tho unique record of
win one from tho German-American
team early in the league season to
have it forfeited because they used
Ineligible men.
Tho Federals won sixteen of their
twenty-one games, giving them a per
centage of .76 2. It will be necessary,
for cither of tho teams which are tied
for second place, to win nil three1
games In both matches to replace the*
Feds at tho top. If they win three
games in one match, and two in an
other, either team may tie the Feds,
but a loss of two games out of six
to be rolled will leave the team behind
the Post Office men by one game.
Those are the only three toams that!
have a chance ill the league, the others
being too far in the ruck to catch up
at this late day.
In the three games rolled last night,
Bill Pemberton seems to have done a
comeback of his own, as he was the
high average and high scorc man for
tho letter handlers. Ho ran up 180,
188 and 199 for the games. Clarcnce
Hoffman started off with two good]
games, but fell down hard in tho last.
He wo s second best man.

OR RIVIES ON CHRISTMAS
The Knights of Pythias of Totten
'ille were sorely disappointed again
ast night when tlio Mechanics of
Îewark did not show lip for their
cheduled game. The team stayed at
he hall for some time, and then left
or home.
And now Manager Betts wants a
hail ce at cither the Riversides or the
3t. Peter's Y. M. C. for Chrlstmaa
light. He is trying to arrange a game
,vith either team now, and is ready to
>ook the hall as soon as conditions
ire made. The plan for the night In
cludes dancing for a larger part of
he night, and the early morning.
The Knights are particularly ani
ons to get the Y. M. C. otfer to the
island for the fourth game of their
series of five, in which the local team
nas won two games to date, and the
Tottenvillians one. The last game
«•as played Wednesday night, when
the Y. M. C. doubled the count made
by the Knights at 42-21.
r. Μ. ΓΑ JOYS WIN
FROMBAYONNETEAM
The Boys' Division of the Υ. 3>Γ. C.
A. again showed their true calibre
when they came through with a win
over the Bayonne Y. M. C. A. boys
in a series of events, including a bas
ketball game, a track relay race and
α swimming meet here last night.
The first event of the night was a
basketball game in which the visiting
team won by a score of 21-16. This
was rather an inauspicious beginning
for the local team, but they came
back in the relay race, winning easily.
But the real victory for the night
came in the pool, when the local lads
came through and won the events
contested by a score of 31 to 19. This
with the relay race gave the local
lads the bulge and they won the con
test on points at 13 to 11.
The basketball game was an inter
esting exhibition, tho teams being
Closely matched throughout tho
game. Vogel, of the visitors, and
Scotfields, a teammate, were the high
point men for their team. Jensen, at
center, was the high point man for
the local lads.
Every member of the local team
came through with at least one field
goal. The lineup and score follows:
P. A. ï. M. C. Λ. Bayonne
Holt Vogel
Chalmers Palmer
forward
Jensen Scotfields
center *
Dickson McAdee
Roth Wallorn, Woodruff
guard
Field goals—Solt, 2; Chalmers, 1;
Jensen, 3; Dickson, 1; Roth, 1: Vog
el, 4; Palmer, 1; Scotllelds, 3: Wood
ruff, 1. Foul goals—Vogel, 1 ; Palm
er, 2.
The track and swimming events
came easy to the local boys and they
won. both, running up several points
by winning all the events. The track
relay went to tho local lads without
much dispute, and the Bayonne team
collected three points on an uncon
tested second.
This was the second victory for the
boys' department in as many nights
and the lads were highly pleased with
the showing, particularly in the
water, where they seem to outshine
any other associations who come here)
for competition.
Other events for the boys' depart-'
ment will be contested from time to
time against visiting teams. The
meet last night was directed by
Holmes Cliver and Albert Melnittey.

HffiTOWN HERE
FOR TRUCK EVENTS
An interesting; and unique track
neet lias been arranged for the Y. M.
2. A. tonight, when the Morristown
ï. M. C. A. track team will come here
'or a meet on something other than
ho usual scale of events, and partic
llarly different ση the scale of scor
ns. The meet is the first ever held
>y the local track men under the so
:alled Hexatlion method, as adopted
jy the International Y. M. C. A.
The events to be contested are
seven in number, being the 20 yard
iash, the twelve pound shot put, the
standing broad jump, the running
high jump, the eight potato race, the
»ne-half mile and the half mile relay.
The regular members of the track
Leam will be on hand to contest the
svents, which are very much like
those usually contested, with the ex
ception of the eight potato, and the
change in two races from one mile to
one-half mile, and the elimination of
the 440 yard race in favor of the 880.
Holmes Cliver, "Chick" Warter and
Wallace will be in the twenty yard
event. Carl Mullins. A1 Mehaffey and
Luke Compton in the shot put; How
ard Johnson, Emmons and Mullins In
the standing broad jump; Luke
Compton, Emmons and Lowcnkopf In
the running high jump; Cliver, Wal
lace, Warter and others in the pota
to race: Hibbard, M,ehaffey, Pickers
gill, Wai ter, Cliver and others In tno
half mile relay race.
Altogether, it looks like promising
competition, as the Morristown team
chose the events, and they have had
their own way in picking them, so
that it is thought that they will have
efficient men men ready for the con
tests.
The meet will start at 8:15 o'clock
sharp, and music will be on hand to
accompany the runners and to en
tertain between numbers on the pro
gram. .
ILL BASKETBALL GAMES
ARE CALLEDLAST NIGHT
The scheduled games of basketball
(lid not take place last night, the
Riversides having cancelled their
games against the County Five and
the Junior Mechanics of Newark fail
ed to put ill an appearance against
the Knights of Pythias of Totten
ville. The Whirlwinds and Elms of
Sayreville could not play, because of
the postponement of the Riverside
game.
Manager Harold Hoffman, of the
Riversides, cancelled the game at
South Amboy yesterday afternoon be
cause of the weather conditions. He
says that he will have the County
Five as the opponents of the Rivies
one week from last night.
The Knights of Pythias waited for
the Mechanics throughout a lrge part
of the night, but they failed to put
in an appearance up to 9:30 and the
game was called off.

NAZIM.OVA
Λ" WAR. BRIDER
Herbert Drenon's first production
since becoming a producer for Selznick
Pictures is "War Brides," with Nazi
mova as the star, and it will bo seen
at the IMtmas Theatre on December 25,
26 and 27. The scenario is from Marion
Craig Wenfworth's play, in which
Nazimova scored her greatest success.
The story deals with the war brides in
cidents which took place in certain
European countries at the outset of
the present war, but the play deals lees
with war than with the effects of war
upon the homes and the loved unes left
behind. Mr. Brenon. who is the only
man beside Γ>. W. Griffith who has
achieved a national reputation as a di
rector, says that this is unquestion
ably an advance over any of his pre
vious work
Nazimova's first and only appearance
in pictures this year will be "War
Brides," which will be shown at the
Ditmas Theatre. When she had com
pleted this photo-drama, Nazimova re
sumed her plans for the winter season
on the stage, so this will be the only
opportunity of seeing hsr in the movies
for at least a year.

AUTO NEWS
These are the days of skids, or, to '
be a little more exact they would he
in a normal year. In spite of the un- ,
usual complacency of the weather·
man we shall have snow and sleet, j
wet streets, greasy asphalt and skid- j
with us before many days havo gone, j
The prudent motor car owner will uti
lize this breathing spell to see that
his braking equipment Is In absolute
ly efficient working order. For In-,
stance nothing induces or perhaps we
had better say Increasês skidding
more than a pair of brakes that take j
hold with unequal effort, one grip- '
ping tightly, the other slackly. This
allows one wheel to slide while the
other is held firmly, contributing to
the uncertainty of the vehicle's pro
perfect. The brakes should be put in
perfct order for the bad going ahead.
XX the car owner Is not Xamlliar with
the operation of adjusting them he
should take them to the service sta
tion and have it done. The cost will
be possibly seventy-five cents, but
it is cheap insurance. In attempting
to slow down or stop on slippery as
phalt the brakes should be applied
at brief intervals with the clutch en
gaged.
—Motor truck owners of the state
expect an announcement from Com
missioner William Ij. Dill's commis
sion on rules and regulations that the
commission has decided not to recom
mend an increase in license fees as
a part of its report to the next legis
lature. The motor truck men cen
tered their opposition to the propos
ed regulations on the provision for an
increase in fees. The increase, they
maintained, would be a burden that
would ultimately fall upon the con
sumer.
—America's export of motor cars
has reached such proportions that
