FINAL CONTEST
IN BASKETBALL
RIyersidss to Play Wander
ers Tonight In Auditorium.

Probably the last basketball game
In the Auditorium this season will be
played tonight when the Riversides
will play a picked team from this
city to be known as the Riverside
Wanderers. Manager Wilentz, of the
Riversides, has worked theoretically
to secure a fast team. Robert Dwyer,
Hans Roessler, John Sullivan, Leroy
Lehman and Andrew Schantz will
probably be lined up against the reg
ular Riverside team.
This is the last game that the
Riversides will engage in this season
and from present indications this
battle should be one of the best of
the season.
The Riversides will line up as fol-
lows: Burns. center; McCreery and
Davis, forwards; Schantz and Allen,
guards. The regular Saturday night
dancing class will be held in conjunc-
ton with the game.

the boats this year will make far
better time than in the races last
season.
Three handsome prizes will be
given for the races this season. Com
modore Boyd, of the Great Kills
Yacht Club of Staten Island, and
William Brown, secretary of the
association and a member of the RaA-
way Yacht Club, were appointed as a
committee to ecure the awards.
The same rules and regulations
governing the races last year will be
in vogue this season. Receiving no
complaints of the name Of hand
ling the events last year the commit
tee decided to stand by last years
agreements.
To fill the place caused by the
withdrawal of the Sewaren Yacht
Club, the Staten Island Yacht Club,
of the upper end of the Island, had
representatives at the session and
was given the place. The committee
feels elated over the large amount of
interest displayed in the races this
year and are confident that the
events will be a huge success.

be carried away and attended to. He
Dol recovered enough strength to
stand and vas taken home In a car
riage. This was theF only event in
which a participant had to be car
ried off the field.
44O Yard Run.
In the 440 yard run, which was
the next event, Mccormick as was
expected, flew away with first place,
making the two laps in Sal sec
onds. Roessler, II, also ran the
440 in good time and took second
place. Toolin, of the juniors, took
third place and made the only two
points that were scored by the class
of IL in the whole meet. Schwartz,
II, received one point in this event
for fourth place.
Pole Vault.
The pole vault was the feature
event and surprise of the day. Or
vii Macan, IA, easily got first place
although everyone thought and ex-
pected Barnes, of the seniors,
would take first honors in this
event. Macan was applauded every
time he leaped, for the graceful man
ner in which he vaulted, and he did
seven feet eight inches without hit
ting the height indicator once. If
there was anyone else to compete
with little Macan,' he might have
done much better, since he seemed
ease. Williams, '13; Barnes, II, and
ors.
High Jump.
In the high jump, Mccormick, of
the seniors, again took first place,
jumping five feet and two Inches.
Schwartz, ii, took second and Will
liams, 10, and Braidwood, IA, were
tie for third and fourth places.
Relay Race.
The next event which was No. 8,
and the last resulted in a victory
for the combined classes. But the
seniors ran four laps while the
combined classes only ran three.
The reason for this vas that it was
a certainty that the seniors could
easily defeat the combined classes
in the relay without giving any ham
| dicap and SO the seniors tried their
strength in giving the classes 220
yards or one lap. Ramsay, IA;
iPickersgill, IA; Williams. '13, n
Henry, IA, ran for the classes
lagainst Pierson, Schwartz, Roessler
and Mccormick, who ran for the SEN
Tors. The boys representing the
combined classes ran a very good
race and all that the seniors team
| could gain on them was between a
quarter and a half a lap.
! Mccormick High Man.
Captain Mccormick, of the var
sity track team, scored the largest
number Of points, which was eigh-
teen, enough to beat the freshmen
| and juniors combined, and nearly
enough to beat the sophomores.
Mac Is in excellent shape at pres
ent and In his present condition he
ought to be able to win the 440 at
Red Bank easily.

Weak and bluefsh are In abund-

POPE DENIES
INSINUATIONS

Superintendent Willis T. Pope
transmitted a reply today to the
House resolution asking for informa.
ton, inclosing a tabulated statement
relative to teachers and their sal
aries.
These reports are untrue" he
says, with reference to the statement
in the resolution that it is reported
that there is favoritism exercised in
the payment and allotment of the
various teachers in the different gov
eminent schools, and that teachers
of long and valuable experience are
shelved to make way for recent ar
rivals of doubtful qualifications"
Referring to the tabulated list of
eachers, he informs the members
that it appears in his report pre-
ented to them early in this session,
''The record of teachers" Mr.. Pope
continues, Consists of much detailed
information which cannot be tabu-
lated but which is ready for the iu-
spection of all persons of authority
who might care to see it. All teach
ers in the employ of the department
are paid according to. the salary
schedule. Uncertifcated teachers
who attended the summer school Of
1910, which was supported by public
subscription, had the understanding
that if they were re-employed for the
remainder of this biennial period II
would be at the same salary they
were receiving"

Americas Literary Failure.

The reason, says A. c. Benson, in
the Atlantic, why America has not at
present, in my belief, established a
great literature of her own, is simply
and solely because she has not had
the time. The energy is all there, the
view of life is fresh, eager and vital;
but the tradition must grow up, and
it cannot be manufactured, even with
the most approved machinery. OF
course, have not the least doubt
that it will appear; but though l have
a great admiration for the American
temperament, its sturdiness, it's curl
osity, its energy, it would be insincere
to pretend that think that this par
ticular thing has appeared.

Senate bill 1872, introduced by Chill

reading today and, in the discussion,
brought out remarks from Cecil
Brown to the effect that the biggest
mistake that had ever been made in
this Territory was when the health
authority had ever been divided.
If We did not get on the right track
pretty soon in regard to health au.
thority, the United States would come
in and tell the board of health and
the supervisors to go way back and
sit down.
The supervisors should have moth.
ing to do with health jurisdiction ex
cept, perhaps, working under the
board of health regulations. Brown
spoke of how the Federal authorities
had taken charge when the plague
had hit San Francisco. 1t would be
the same condition here unless poll
tics was cut out of health matters.
Nothing but politics from top tC
