1t was a great battle that the
Goodwills and Sea Sides waged last
night On the formers court and the
issue could not be decided, the result
being a tie at "27 ALL" The visitors,
owing to the fact that they were anx-
tous to make train connections, were
unwilling to play an extra time and
sc Manager Plass was forced to call
hostilities off until some future date.
Fine passing, clever shots and good
guarding, characterized the tussue

friction, that his quintet play at
home every Monday and Saturday
nights. And as the Sterlings are
scheduled to play at home every Fri
day night there will be no Interior
ence in playing dates Of either squad
according to the present plans.
The next game of Manager Blacks

Good Stove Lining.

A good stove lining, one that will
last two years or more, can be made
from blue clay. Brick clay, or one
that does not contain much sand, is
good, also. Clay found in salt water
marshes is one OF the best for stove
Innings. The clay must be reduced to
a paste, about like putty. The bed for
lining should be brushed clean and
moistened before the clay Ia applied.

HIGH SCHOOL DISPLAYS MUCH
BETTER FORM BUT FALLS TO
SPEEDY CURTIS ANNEX SQUAD

camp-the visitors were a better
team, that's all.
While the plays which Coach Ed
gerton is giving the local boys did
not seem to figure much in their
work, it could be plainly seen that
the form which Eggert's favorites
displayed was many per cent. better
than the brand of ball which the
Perth Amboy warriors put up in
Woodbridge. This is due to the
pointers handed out by Mr.. Edger-
ton. Any reasonable fan will not
criticize the work of the p. A. H. S.
quintet for the game they played
yesterday afternoon. They have ad-
vanced as far as can be expected
since last weeks battle and if they
keep on gaining gradually they will
no doubt put the hooks into Wood
bridge, and what else do the crimson
and white supporters ask? 1t was
a great game yesterday and every
one present enjoyed it. This should
bring out a record crowd at the next
fray.

Showing more speed, a better de-
Tense, and superior passing than
they did in Woodbridge last Friday,
the crimson and white basketball
quintet put up a much better exhibit
ton of basketball against the Curtis
Annex crew on the Auditorium court
yesterday afternoon. But they lost,
34-27. With Dick Lehman and
Copeland, two of the star perform
ers of Tottenville, in the annex ag-
~gregation's makeup, the locals had
too great a proposition to battle
with. However, their work deserved
commentator as they put up stiff
opposition every moment Of the fray
and never gave signals of distress.
1t was not until the last few mo-
ments Of play that the issue was de-
cided, several field goals being made
by the Staten Island aggregation in
rapid order. Until then the tally
was SO close as to give nc signs of a
winner, the locals swerving ahead
now and then and losing the lead
every few minutes.
That the wonderful speed of Leh-
man and Copeland did the trick is
conceded by all who witnessed the
fray. Ballots shooting was also a
distinct feature of the fray. Every
crimson and white warrior worked
like a Trojan except Nathan Gold
| berger, who fingered around the bas-
ket. This benefited the Eggert
crew considerably as "Goldy" drop
ped a half dozen through the net.
However, his playing left four of
the locals playing the whole five of
the visitors and in this way the
Staten Islanders were able to gather
a few of their points Of the total.

the bacon to the Tottenville bunch

Another victory was added to the

scored not less than one basket. The
work of wee Willie Eagen vas a dis
tinct feature of the fray, while Dun
ham and Johnny Anderson also
showed fine style. John Deegan play
ed the deaf and dumb forward, be-
lieved to be the best in S~omerville,

Deegan, while the clever Puritan
guard dropped one through the ring
himself. Addie Schantz also held
