The Serbs Rout.

It was on the banks of the Martha,
near Adrianople. In 1864, that the
Turks first came into conflict with the
young Slavonic races. the Seryiaus,
the Bosnians. the Bulgarians. Louis l.,
king Of Hungary and Poland. with tho
princes of Bosnia. Servis and Wal
lachia. had decided to conquer the sui
tan, a task that the Greeks had been
unable to manage. The Turks were
only half as strong as the allies. but
the commander took advantage of the
intoxication of the allies to make a
sudden night attack. The Slavs were
aroused by the beating of the Turkish
drums. 1.-The Ottomans were upon
them before they could stand to arms.
They were like Wild beasts scared
from their lair" says Sad ud-Din-
Speeding from the field of light to the
waste of flight. those affects poured
into tie stream Martha and were
drowned" The spot can still be seen

ONLY 3 MORE
FOR Y. NJ. H.. A.

Three more games are still TO be
played by the local Y. M. H. A. team
in the Y. M. II. A. league. The first
of this trio will be staged Thursday
night. when the Feldman aggrega-
ton journey to Yonkers, where they
will oppose tho representatives OF
that burg in the league. A victory
is expected here, but SO uncertain
has the playing of the local band
been that II Is a hard matter TO
Judge with confidence how the locals
will show up.
The second game of the three Is
scheduled to be contested Feb. 6,
on the Auditorium court. In this
fray Manager Feldman viii stack his
team against the cream of the
league. The end street Y. M. H.
A., of New York. considered one OF
the fastest of teams in the metropo-
lis will be the opponents of the To-
Gals. The New Workers trimmed as
well as walloped the Perth Amboy-
ans in the clash between them on
the New York court. While the
Feldman SQUAD do not expect a vic
tory in this game. they exDect to
make a good showing as well as at
the same time show what opposition
they have met with in their travels.
The third battle and the final one
for the locals in the league schedule
is one in Brownsville against the
team representing that place in the
league. This fray Is booked for

MICHELINS TO
CLAIM COUNTY
CHAMPIONSHIP
New Brunswick Homs News
States Claim Can b. Made
in Two Months.
THINK Different HERE

While the Michelin basketball
team, of Midtown, is being consider
ed a strong factor in county basket
ball circles since their victory over
the Riverside team. Of this city, not
one fan in this burg has yet breathed
that the "Tiretown" aggregation
would soon be in a position to claim
the Middlesex county championship.
The New Brunswick Home News
states the following in Mondays is
sue as a part Of the write-up Of the
Michelin-Riverside game which was
staged here Saturday night:
THE Michelin Five is the second
county team to defeat the Rivies on
their home court since they have
been playing during five years, the
other fortunate team being the Puri-
tans, the champions of Middlesex
county last season.
at is only a question of about two
months when the. five husky fellows
from the Michelin office can claim
the championship Of Middlesex
county"
The Riversides trimmed the Mich
elins In the first game of the season
on the Auditorium court and the
Midtown boys turned the tables Sat
urday night. The series now is even.
Random here believes that the
Puritans have also a say about the
county honors and the Michelins,
who have been playing but far apart
and between, will have to do some
tall climbing before they can Justly
claim the championship.
The victory Of the Michelin team
Saturday night was decisive, or at
least as decisive as any game could
be which showed n team had
scored six points more than their
opponents. While the Riverside
team requests no laurels to be taken
from the Midtown team, they be-
lieve and feel confident that they can
trim the Michelins. The Riversides
think that their defeat Saturday
night is explained in the following:
The Michelins were at their best and
the "Rivies' we've nearly at their
worst.
Joe-Billott-Joe will probably book
the "Tiretown" team in the near
future and at this time the locals ex-
pect to show decided superiority as
we'll as at the same time squash the
championship talk.

Waitinn For The linhtninu.

Curious information on the habits or
the big trees ofCalifornin is given in one
Of John Muir's books. These big trees"
he says. seem TO be Immortal unless
they are destroyed by accident. There
is no absolute limit TO the existence of
any tree. Death Is due to accident, not.
as that of animals, to the wearing out
of organs. Only the leaves die of old
age. Their fall Is fOretoid in their
structure. But the leaves are renewed
every year, and SO also are the essen
tial organs-wood. roots, bark. buds.
Most Of the Sierra trees die of dis
ease, insects. fungi, etc. but nothing
hurts the big tree" adds the dlstin-
guisbed naturalist. Il never saw one
that was sick or showed the slightest
sign OF decay. Barring accidents, 1t
seems to be immortal. 1t is u curious
fact that all the very old ~sequoias had

SOUTH AMB0Y I.
. GIVEN SCARE
BY WANDERERS
Local Clan Tie Score Two
Minutes Before End of the
Game But Lose 27-24.
CANTL0N'S GREAT SHOT

Those fans who were present at
ceremonies on the knights of Pythias
court in South Arboy, last night,
were given a real good treat in the
form of a splendid exhibition be-
tween the South Amboy A. c. and
the Puritan Wanderers. The battle
resulted in a victory for the O'Toole-
Forgotson combination by a 27-24
tally.
The going was as clo~e as the
score indicates and with two minutes
to play in the second half. the score
was PAPA. Referee Johnny Carroll
then gave the South Amboyans three
straight chances from the foul line,
n of which was made good. Jimmy
Canton, known as the famed "Sir
James," then took the fray out of
hot water by dropping the pellet
through the net almost from n end
of the court to the other. 1t was
some shot to end such a game.
The playing of the Wanderers was
much better than that of Cantlon's
gang In the last half. In fact the
tossers ofsthe local combine believe
they outclassed the O'Toole-Forgot-
son combine by a decisive enough
margin to win the game had il not
been for the poor decisions of Refe-
rec Carroll. They report hat nine
teen fouls were called on them, while
but seven were recorded against the
homesters. They claim also that
the boys from across the river were
continually straight-arming In the
jumps and also dribbling without
punishment.

Van Mulchey Mulchahey, the rec

portance as we'll as interest attached
to this fray. A victory for the WIS.,
itors will not only mean that the To-
calls will have no chance to win the
championship of Middlesex county
among high school teams, but it will
be the first event in which a Wood
bridge high school squad came~here
and defeated any representative or
ganization of crimson and white ath-
letes in the history of this city's

BY procuring Mulchahey, a clean

doubt rest easier when they learn
Of the official chosen, as the Whole
county has confidence in him. This
may also prompt the Woodbridge
authorities to change their inten-
lions of being accompanied by n OF
their referees as Mulchahey is with
out doubt able to cope with the sit
uation, having handled the historic
Puritan-Y. M. H. A. game and also
the Riverside-Puritan games.
Besides assuring a fast exhibit

also keep the game as clean as the
faculty Of either school can expect.
Any serious violation. such as the
use of indecent language in the
school game. will no doubt cause ex-
pulsion from the battle.
The game will start at 3:45

BE STAGED FEB. 10

T%ottenville fandom will no doubt
be greatly pleased to hear that the
third of the ive-game series be-
tween the Tottenville A. C. and the
Riversides, which was originally
scheduled for the Auditorium court,
will be staged on the Knights Of
Pythias court In T~ottenville. This
follows an announcement made by
managers of the two teams after
coming to an agreement on terms.
The battle will be staged on a special
night for the occasion. February 10,
a Wednesday night, has been the
time selected by the Riverside man
ager and accepted by the T. A. C.
magnate. This tussle will probably
take place in the week following the
Riverside-Puritan game.
AS the series now stands between
the Staten Islanders and the city
champions, the latter have two games
out of the same number played.
There are still three to be waged in
the series, giving the T. A. c. COM
