BUYS EIGHTEEN TRUCKS
Remarkable Purchase of Peer
less Machines by Oil Firm.

The largest purchase OF motor trucks, as
far as known, at the Madison Square Gar
den truck show was made yesterday by the
Standard OIL Company, when it ordered
eighteen chassis from the Peerless COM
pany, of Cleveland. These trucks will be
distributed to various parts of tine country.
Some of them will be fitted with tanks; on
others stake bodies will be mounted, 80
that they may be used as barrel trucks.
The Standard Oil Company purchased its
first Peerless truck at the last truck show
and has bought numerous others during
the last year. These trucks have been In
service In different parts of the country
and have operated under all kinds of road
conditions A four-ton truck Is in opera
ton al Worcester Mass, over route that
had for eighteen years been covered by
four-horse team. 1t required two days for
the trip, which includes a five-mile hill on
an average grade of Z per cent. The truck
makes the complete trip in much less than
day, and in addition has replaced an
other team by taking in its delivery route.
three-ton truck covers a seventy-hye-
mile delivery circuit out OF Memphis, de-
livering oil to customers in eight towns.
Ihis car reduced the time required Tor
delivery over this route from thirty-slX
To thirteen hours. and replaced relay mule
teams, doing away with the attendant no.

Scores Two Goals After
a Lively Battle on

TO add to the discomfort of the soldier
boys the horsemen administered a coat of

Then there was Kerr. who tended goal in
a manner that would have made many an
old league player envious, while the tall
Chapman also displayed keen knowledge
of the game.
AS might be expected. individual efforts
played Il more prominent part than team
work, although there were times when
Squadron did fairly well in this branch.
Apparently realizing that Peabody would
have to be reckoned with, the opposing
side kept him covered at all times. Con-

sides

first half, the defence on both sides being
far superior to the offence. In spite OF this,
Squadron A would have netted the puck
two or three times had It not been for the
mastery Bookkeeping OF Washburn. There
was quite a little rough work, penalties
being frequent
After minutes and 20 seconds OF the
second half Wygstaff scored the first goal
on side shot The second and last goal
went to the credit of Chapman on a long
shot from near the centre of the rink.
This happened about three minutes before
the end Of the game.
Squadron A and the 7th Regiment hired
the rink for the evening and they had
everything TO themselves. Consequently 1t
was a different crowd than usually seen
at the regular hockey games. Between
halves a half-mile skating race was put
on and there was also an exhibition OF
fancy skating by Miss c. Duncan and
Frank Sammis.
The skating race brought out such well
known amateurs as Phil Kearney, OF the
Wanderers; William Buckholder. OF the
same club: Arthur Merlo. Of the Riverside
Skating Club, and dozen others. II was
a handicap AFFAIR, with Kearney and Buck
holder on scratch. The last named has
been improving steadily since he began
competing. about two years ago, and he
surprised the crowd by shaking off Kear-
ney and then managing to win the race In
the last few strides, barely beating X. p.
Dayton by inches. Merlo got third. Day
ton received thirty yards and Merlo forty
five. The winners time was l:32l1.

Collegiates most important ones, and the
fact that they won the first yesterday, al

the prospects for the return game bright
for Collegiate. Between the halves the
Collegiate second team defeated the second

In the first game the Collegiate team
obtained an S to 2 lead during the first five

called. Pope starred for Collegiate, shoot
