NEW YORK. Dec. 3-Auto polo is
the latest sport AS its name implies,
it is polo, but instead of horses autos
are used Two machines are used one
on each side the cars being manned
by two persons each, one to drive and
the other to WELD the mallet These
cars are of the runabout type, strip
ped down to the chassis, with rum
ming board on the side and a contriv-
ance like hoop Immediately back of
the seat The hoop is for the purpose
of protecting the men when the
machine turns over The mallet
wilder stands on the running board
for the most part. The mallet is
shorter than the regulation polo
weapon and weighs a little more than
two pounds. Goal posts are at either
end of the field, and when the game

MERWICK BOYS
CLAIM STATE
AMATEUR TITLE

Merwick A. C. has placed one of
the strongest teams ON the gridiron
this season that ever represented the
club and having won the amateur
championship of the state. Merwiek
lost only one game this season and
that TO the sharpless A. C. at West
Chester by the score of 20 TO 6.
There has been some comments as
to who was the winner of the st.
Peters-Merwick game played in New
Castle on October %, St Peters
claiming that they beat Mcrwick by
the score Of TO 2, Merwick still says
they were not beaten by ST. Peters
but claim the game . TO O Merwick
has been trying to arrange a game
with ST. Peters over here, but there
is not enough sportsmanship in the
boys to accept this challenge

wick team this season are; Lyons, L,

CAGE RULES
CONFUSE OFFICIAL
InterCOIlegiateS Do Not Set
Directions for Local
SChOOlbOyS

There are very few officials follow
ing the basketball game this winter
who are equipped in knowledge of
the various volumes OF rules govern
ing basketball Some sporting au-
thorities who attended The intercol-
legiate rules committee meeting held
in New York last Friday left under
the impression that that body devises
the rules for the universe. The Off
clals believe that they will find all
school. society and college teams
PLAYING under such directions as
were rehashed at that recent meeting
II Is surprising TO note how little the
college officials know of The style Of
play seen in the public high school
ranks. There is bound to be much
controversy over the rules this sea-
son when tpe officials set out for
their work in general
Il has long been advocated that a
general system OF rules be formed
governing the game OF basketball.
Many Of the schools and colleges have
given up the game considering IL too
rongh for their athletes, and. in con-
sequence. each year the officials have
dwelt extensively on the subject OF
eliminating possible roughness High
er college men follow the intercol-
legiate rules. while the Y. M. c. A.
and society members devote them
selves to their own rules, which are
really the A. A. u. law In the pro-
fessional ranks basketball will be
found in its fastest and most strenu-
GUS nature. The variation of each
style lays in the dribbling and shoot
ing from scrimmage Some rules call
for a one-hand dribble. while others
allow two hands to be used In adj
vancing the ball in the direction OF n
basket The many STYLES OF play
make conditions confusing to the fol-
lowers OF the game, and one will find
that there are very few officials In
the country who can ofliciate in all
capacities
For the benefit of those desiring TO
follow the game this winter. It can
be said that they will find that the
colleges will be playing under the
system known as The Intercollegiate
The majority Of the preparatory
schools will follow the Y. NJ c. A OF
A. A. T. directions. The professional
leagues will continue TO carry on the
the spirit under the National rules.

probably the greatest half that has
ever played football He excels in all
departments because OF his phenom-
email makeup Of speed and power. He
is a long distance punter and more
dangerous drop-kicker than Brickley,
from beyond the forty-yard line.
For the other half. Brickley, of Har-
ward, has the best claim, because Of
his consistent performances through

PROVE DICTIONARIES
 NUT LIKE WR|kGtRS
Distribution of Books by The Review Surprises
 Many Residents

The immense distribution of The Review Dictionaries has caused much comment Tn the commercial world. for seldom has such a marked success been known.
 Incidentally it has proven the sales man and his comparison of diction- aries to wringers to be wrong
 When the project of distributing handsomely bound vouumes of Noah Websters interesting work with mod ern additions was first considered a wiseacre book salesman tried to throw cold water upon the proposition with the following fable:
 Once upon a time a salesman started out 10 sell patent wringers in a coun- try district, but after a weeks toll returned 10 his employer disguested and said, 'Wringers are like noses. % Upon his employer asking him for an explanation, be spoke briefly, saying Everybody has one"
 The salesman said: Dictionaries are like wringers and noses-find the man who had not one good enough for him"
 But the salesman was wrong. Sales men often are.
 It may. be admitted that almost everybody has a dictionary. but as a rule it is so far behind the times that it has long ceased 10 be an authority, and such people are the first to rec .ognlze their absolute need of a mod ern dictionary. The Review book is accurate. authoritative and up to the very minute, being officially known as Webster's New Illustrated Diction- ary. containing latest United States census.

NJ ADDED CAUSES
 fOR ALARM APPEAR
Smallpox Situation Takes on No More Serious
 Complications

The developments in the small pox situation at and near Douglas yester- day were one death. one new case and two suspicious cases. This was the situation up to ten o'clock last night, when a conference was neld over the telephone between Bisbee and Douglas health authorities.
 The death reported was of a negro woman in Douglas. The new case is not in Douglas proper, but about three miles from the city. The city health officer of Douglas has the case in detention.
 The two suspicious cases are at Lee station, on the Southwestern, about seven miles from Douglas. No phys ician has made a report on these cases as yet, and it may turn out that 1t is not small pox. A school teacher at that point reported that two school children exhibited symptoms of the disease. and a physician was dis patched to the place last night to ex- anime the case and determine if the Illness is small pox. The physician had not reported to the county health authorities last night

It is also eX- pected that. a majority of the SUI perior judges of the counties of the state will be in Phoenix at that time and will meet and perfect an organi- zation and agree upon a method O, procedure. This meeting has been talked of for some time.
 U. ;. Attorney heNfnS
 United States Attorney Joe Morri son came in this morning from Phoe- nix. where he has been in attendance on the session of the United States court. He states that Judge Morrow has finished the organizing of the court, and has appointed the neces- sary officials throughout the state, so that the business of the govern ment can now be transacted, as be fore the change was made. He states that arrangements have been made so that those who wish to ob- tain their final papers Of citizenship can do So by appearing before the court in Phoenix on Tuesday the 12th instant.
