TOTTENVILLE.
FIREMEN IN ATHLETICS.
Meet Between Two Companies of
T%ottenyille Is Talk of the Town.

Meet Between Two Companies of
TottenyiIle Is Talk of the Town.
One of the finest athletic contests
eve witnessed in this place took
place Tuesday, when the newly or
ganized Fumb Club, of Engine Com
pany No. 201, of the New York Fire
Department, met some Of the mem
bers of Hook and Ladder Company,
No. 101, on the spacious grounds of
the former company in Eureka place.
Although the engine company boasts
of having men in their company with
international records, they must have
been out of practice, judging from
the way the H. & l.. boys outdistanc-
ed them. 1t was enough to make
them ashamed of their titles and they
will certainly have to do some heavy
training before competing with the
other companies on Staten Island.
Peter f. Murphy, a prominent
member of the Clan-a-Gail Athletic
Society, and who represented the
New York Fire Department in the
recent International contests at Ath-
ems, Greece, from which he won so
much honor for the New York ath-
letes, and of whom the engine COM
pany is 81 pround, met defeat when
George Hauser, in a broad jump.
Both claimed they could do better.
1t seemed clear, however, to the
referees, who were Mr.. Fenster, of
the engine company, and N. S. Wal
dereop, an old time sportsman and
all around athlete, who has Witness
ed some of the finest contests ever
seen in the world, that Hauser was
clearly n of the finest jumpers
they ever Jaw. Hauser won by a
jump of II feet and ~ inches. Muir
ply made IL feet 3 inches.
The next contest was James Lynch,
one of the popular young firemen, of
truck No. 101, against John Allen, of
the Caledonia Club, n of the fam
u Scotch athletic clubs in America,
and the N. Y. A. c., whose feat in
Scotch sports has created some very
favorable criticism among some of
the best critics. They claim Mr.. AL
len should give up the assistant en-
No. POI, and joint the professional
sporting contests, where he would
certainly make some worlds rec
ords.
Lynch and Allen made a fine show
ing at putting the cabre. Lynch
won in 10 feet and 6 inches. Allen,
AJ feet and 3 inches. Both men were
in good conditions and the firemen
and people can feel proud of the men
in the department.
Fireman H. Gilmartin, of Com
pany No. 101, defeated Martin Hum
phreys, of No. POI engine, in a stand
ing high jump. Gilmartin made 5
feet 7 inches, and Humphreys 5 feet
5 " inches.
Putting the shot, one of the ia
vorite sports in the department, was
won with ease by Fireman Riley, of
truck No. 1O1, owe Chief Engineer
Charles Specht, a one-time champion
in the Berlin Scheutsen club, of that
city, and a famous Teutonic sports
man, whose records in Germany and
New York as a rifle marksman is of
the finest.
Chief Specht says he is not an Irish
athlete, but if Riley will practice
some of the German sports he will
certainly give him a hard run.
There has been a committee APP
pointed to try and make arrange
ments for meets between different
companies on the island, which we
hope will meet with success, as the
department on Staten Island offers
one of the finest fields for such an
Undertaking.

KEEP THEM LONGER.

Apropos Of the editorial opinion
expressed in the Cleaner nearly two
years ago and recently reproduced
that the people of the Second district
have been making a serious mistake
in limiting the period of service of
their congressman to two or even
three terms, the comment of 'Sa-
voyard," the well-known Washing
ton correspondent, in a recent issue
of the Washington Post, in review
ing the long career of Congressman
Bankhead, of Alabama, is timely,
and comedies with the views ex-
pressed by the Cleaner.
'Sayoyard' mentions the fact,
which is wel-known to all in the
least conversant with such matters,
that new members have no chance
Tor assignment on any Of the i'm
poTtant committees where the real
work of congress is practically ac-
complished, and he also mentions
the vast service Mr.. Bankhead has
hee1 able to render his district and
section by reason OF the fact that he
IS a member Of the rivers and har-
oors .u mittee and the committee
on public buildings and grounds. He
says: ut is a curious thing that
constituencies pay so little attention
to the advantages tina. come from
desirable committee assignments. II
they appreciated the real situation
it would take forty years for then
to make the changes in the mem
bership Of the House of Representa-.

can command no prestige or exert
any real power until he has been in
congress long enough to have an OPP
portunity to be recognized in the
important committee assignments
and to become thoroughly familiar
with the workings Of congress
through the committees.
Coming down to a matter serious
ly affecting this immediate section
of the State, the following comment
of "Savoyard" applies with pecu j r
force. He says:
Mr.. Bankhead is on the com
mittee on rivers and harbors. That
committee has wasted money in the
past; but it has saved ten times what
it lost. l give one case: About 80
years ago fernando De Soto Money
was elected to congress from Mis-
sisippi, and he got an appropriation
of $1,000 TO improve little creek,
tributary of the Tombigbee. Men
laughed and swore they could jump
across it. TIE $4,000 was expended
and Money got another and another.
When $50, 600 had been expended a
boat made three trips up the creek
and took out 500 bales of cotton
each trip The railroad reduced its
rates on cotton from SIS bale to 81.
That county produced 25, 900 bales of
cotton year. Thus that community
has saved about $1,000 per annum,
and that began % years ago-all for
$4,000.
Il would think that constituency
that has a member on rivers and
harbocs would hesitate long before
1t took his seat from him, especially
a constituency of state that is full
of rivers; but Kentucky, last year,
retired Mr.. Kehoe, member of
rivers and harbors, and some years
ago she retired Judge Berry, wEO
had been on the committee for years,
and had got for Kentucky waters
hundreds Of thousands of dollars.
The state has no representative on
/ the committee this congress, and
that Notwithstanding Kentucky has
more navigable rivers than any 9TH
err state, when we consider the area
of the state.
"Mr. Bankhead is on this com
mittee because of his long service,
The Tombigbee, river runs through
his district, and the improvements
made 1pon it aid its tributaries
have put millions into the pockets Of
Alabama planters. North Alabama
J is going to be the great iron anC

Look at the Second district, which
has perhaps the greatest river 'front.'
age of any district in the state.
With the Ohio river swpeeing the
borders of Hancock, Davies, Hender-
son and Union counties and with
Green river penetrating the counties
of Mclean. Hopkins, Webster, Da-
viess and Henderson, representation
upon the rivers and harbors COM
mttee might mean muchto the peo-
pie Of this section improvements
needed upon these great natural
highways of transportation, by which
they could be made navigable the
year round, would hold in check the
tendency Of the railroads to exact
exhorbitant charges from the public
and afford real competition in the
transportation of our products to
market. With the great trend of de-
velopment in this direction, due to
the richness of our section in miner
al wealth, it is hard to estimate just
what it would be worth if the mem
Der of congress from the Second
district should be potent member
of this divers and harbors commit
tee.
In the present member from this
district, Mr.. Stanley, we have a man
of promise. He is in the prime of
life, ambitious, able, loyal and true.
He has worked his way to the front
at the bar at Henderson, which is
recognized as one Of the strongest in
the state. He is recognized at
Washington as a man of honesty and
solid ability, the meterial of which
useful members of congress are de-
veloped
He is now aspiring to a third
term, which will only equal that of
one term for our circuit judges and
commonwealth attorneys, who are
thoroughly familiar with their du-
ties before election. In view Of
these matters can the people of this
district afford to retire Mr.. Stanley
just at the threshold of a career OF
usefulness in congress, and send g
new and untried man, who will have
to spend as much or more time as
Mr. Stanley has already been there
before he can hope to be as far
along the road of congressional
knowledge as he?
I The people owe nothing to Mr..
Stanley. The Cleaner does not ar.
que from that standpoint. But dc
not the people of this district owe il
to themselves to have a member in
congress whose position will bemorf
taan that of a nonentity and is there
any prospect at this time of anything
better if Stanley should be re.
tired?- Henderson Cleaner,
