transcend any possible outward dem.
onstration: we are so deeply moved
that we are silenced. This result Is
not to be confused-as may easily
happen-with . failure in apprecia-
ton. 1t is quite the contrary.
Applause. spontaneous and un-
forced. is a great inspiration to one
who appears in public and through
any medium is attempting to make his
cause prevail or his message heard.
The applause Of a hired claque. the
prolonged artificial enthusiasm when
q standard-bearer Is nominated at a

ferent matter. Applause means moth

tive than appreciation and the desire
to indicate cordial and disinterested
approval.

Franklins over the St. Anthonys.
Spectacular shooting was seen in
both games.
Tottenville walloped Sayreville by
the score of 20 to IL. At the end
of the first half 1t looked as Ii the
Staten Islanders were going to suf-
fer defeat, as the score was Z to 4 in
favor Of the S~ayreville team. The
Reserves started off with a rush at
the beginning of the second half and
by some clever shooting OF Cline and
Walters forged ahead. They put up
a good guarding game, keeping the
Sayrevillans to sever points, until
| the last three minutes OF play, when
the S~ayrevilIe lads managed to get
two goals.
Kroeger did all the shooting for
the J~erseyites, making ten OF his
| teams eleven points. Walters and
Cline showed some accuracy in bas-
ket throwing. Benninghopf played
a classy game at guard. 1t was ar
ranged by Manager Harry Kreischer
