BASKET BALL

on Saturday evening the season at
basketball opened for the militia with
the playing of two games at the armory
on Randall square.
There was decided contrast In the
style OF the two games played for the
first was closely contested and proved
very interesting while the second was
rather one sided though a much more
scientific exhibition.
The first game was played between
Companies f and OF the Second regf-
ment and was bitterly fought out. There
was no one time during the whole con-
test that any team could say that the
game was it's even until the whistle blew
for the termination. First one side would
be ahead and then the other At the
end, however. Company was successful
and the game went TO that team.
The second game was between Com
pany A, First regiment. and Company
b In this game however. the latter
team was never I'm the running and
though ii was more scientifically played
the contest was decidedly uninteresting
because one team was so far superior 10
the other The winning team played
the real game and during about four
fifths OF the entire time the ball was In
their hands There was a certain amount
OF good fortune that followed this team
also for time and time again when a try
for n goal was made the ball would be
trimmed and finally fall into the basket.
There were several men on the team
who wcre dlstinctively In the stellar class
as their work OF Saturday night showed.
And when the feet OF this being the first
OF the season is considered the play of
the teams was decidedly remarkable.

REVIVE BIG SEVER Plan.
Bill To Be Framed for One Parallel
to the Bronr RiUer.

The Bronx River sewer project which before
the people Of Westminster County and The Bronx
five or six years ago and was killed by the Gov
ernor has been revived The new proposition was
discussed at a meeting held at the Murray Hill
Hotel Tuesday night This ting attend
ed by Mayor Andrus Of Yonkers. Mayor Brush If
Mount Vernon President Brown OF White Plains
and delegates from BronxviIIe, Tuckahoe. Sears
dale, Woodlawn. Wakefield, WiamsbridSe and
other places interested Mr.. AndrUs presided
The old Bronx Valley sewer. champloned by
Senator J. Irving Burns, would have cost several
millions. The plan turn the entire river into
n sewer which would drain all the territory be
tween White Plains and WiTiamsbrdge The new
proposition IS TO sraighten out the river and widen
IT, and then parallel it with a sewer which will be
flushed at various points by means of pipe connec-
tons with the river The sewer will have its outlet
IN either the Hudson the Sound. The promoters
say that its construction will open up a large
ZION or the country which is lying dormant.
Inc delegates present from Yonkers and White
Plalns were particularly anxious to have the sewer
pult, as there large slopes in both cities which
me present system cannot reach They estimated
that the cost would he considerably less than 50 900.
WO and that by adopting the parallel scheme The
Bronx River would be improved.
a committee appointed draw up a suitable
BILL, which If approved. will be submitted the
legislature. The territory to be reached by the
proposed is estimated at about twenty square
miles.

Washington Dec. 2S.-Rear Admiral John G..
Walker called at the White House to-day and
planned conditions on the Isthmus OF Panama when
he left there week ago, his conclusion being that
the situation satisfactory. He informed the
President that IN his opinion It would be expedi-
ent TO leave protection Of the Republic Of Panama
to the marines and that it was unnecessary TO in
crease the force already there He said that while
the marines welcomed and their presence
allied be for the best interests OF the republic
the sending Of regular troops might cause feel
ing OF Uneasness.
Despite the peaceful reports made by Admiral
Walker. the probability is that two more battauons
of marines will sail next week the Dixie from
Philadelphia for Colon II is felt at the Navy De-
partment that It will be well TO have a sufficient

Dr. Hammer Has an Z Ray Tube That
Sings

Dr. ". J. Hammer. electrical engineer. Of this
city, whose studies OF the phenomena exhibited by
sides OF the Atlantic, and who is the author
book radium, recently made a novel observation
which may possibly prove significant He noticed
that one of these tubes. after being excited and
then being removed from the influence Of any
recognized force, emitted a faint continuous mu-
steal sound for several minutes. 1t might be sug-
gested that the effect was purely thermal and
from two tiny disks of metal close to each other.
and constituting of the terminals inside the
tube. This terminal, the 'anti-cathode." had been
slightly damaged by overheatng, and a small hole
had been burned through IL.
Text books physics describe a phenomenon
similar TO that here mentioned. It is observed with
apparatus known the Treveyan rocker DR..
Hammer Is convinced, however that the sound
from his tube IS not produced IN this manner His
own theory is that the tube IS acted upon by a
class Of ether waves. emitted from some distant
source, akin to those which nave been suggested
possible of the radiations OF radum.
Whatever DR.. Hammers ripper judgment IN the
matter. or the opinions OF other experts the Incl
