Maroons were in the lead during the
first period but could only score one
point during the second half.

of the fray, scoring eleven points of

FLYING HAWKS
OPEN SEASON
HERE TONIGHT

Two games are on tap on the
Kozusko Hall court for tonight. The
preliminary will be furnished by the
Oak Reserves and the Puritan Jun
iors, while the main attraction will
be served by the Oaks and the Fly
ing Hawks, of Tottenville. The big
go is expected to be a hummer and
a large crowd will M doubt be on
hand to take in the fray. However,
as the Staten Islanders have not been
seer in action thus far this season,
the game Is an unknown affair. The
great rivalry which exists between
the Puritan Juniors and the Oak Re-
serves will call out a large crew of
supporters of each aggregation. The
former have already chalked up one
defeat against the Reserves and the
beaten squad will try to make things
even in tonight's fray.

to place a referee on the Wood

game between the local high school

management that they be allowed to
have an official with them. This ar
bitrator will be Coach S. M. Lip

"Aha!" he says, "Tll sleuth some.'
And he did. He hid in doorway.

third over the front transom.
"Ahal" says he, "Tll pinch EN-"
But he didn't. The two fled, leaving
the third inside the store, making a
most careful inventory Of the stock,
as is done by all burglars in the best
sets.
Come out'r there!" ordered McCar-
thy, but the burglar merely hoisted
his hand to a position at right angles

against his nose, and wiggled his dex-

position.

Mccarthy got a box and tried to
climb over. He couldn't reach the
transom. The robber advised him
to get ladder. So Mccarthy got a
barrel and put his box on top of it.
Ihue he managed to reach the tran
som. The burglar encouraged him.

Thus encouraged, Mccarthy came

then he stuck, for no human being
