Ban on Use of Armory Track
Will Handicap Local
Athletes.
SCHOOL SPORT NOTES

Central High School track ath-
letics have been put under a serious
handicap by the refusal of Colonel
John p. Frazer to allow the athletes
to use the armory track for practice.
During the past week the head of
the first regiment has announced
that the schoolboys would no
longer be permitted to use the armory
track, as some years ago they de-
faced the walls of the dressing rooms
downstairs. John Brooks Gardeners
chances of capturing a place In the
Junior metropolitan A. A. u. cham
pionships have been practically
ruined by the coloners edict, as Gard
ner has now no place to practice the
sixty-yard dash, the event in which
he was expected to make a first-class
bid for first honors. Coach Carl An
derson is discouraged over the situa-
ton, and should he be unable to Sc
cure the armory, 1t is very probable
that indoor track athletics will be
discontinued after this year at the
Weiner school Such a step would
cause the abandonment of the Cen
trail High School A. A. indoor games,
which have this year assumed I'M
usual Importance, as they are being
conducted under the title of the New
Jersey State Scholastic Indoor Cham
pionships. All of the important
schools of the State are entered in
the games.
Academy May Not Compete.
Newark Academy's track team will
not be contenders for the State in
door title, 1t is said, as the Farrand
institution does not intend to place
an indoor track team in the field.
Many had looked forward to q spir-
tied duel between the Red and Black
and the Central athletes during the
coming season, but at present it
does not appear as IL the hopes will
be materialized Special interest was
centered in the meeting of Gardner,
of Central, and Goldberg, of Acad-
envy. These two sprinters were
scheduled to meet In the 60-yard
event. The pair have met several
times, and upon each occasion Gold
berg was returned winner. Gardner
has the better time to his credit,
however, and was looked upon as
likely winner at the sixty-yard dis
lance, in which he is far better than
In the century dash. Prospects for
a good season at the High street In
stitution are exceptionally good.
Berg, Muzzy and Goldberg are
sprinters of quality. while Kimball
Atha is one of the best all around
athletes in the scholastic district.
Atha can pole vault. high jump and
run the quarter with proficiency. In
the last event he was rated second
to Lagay, the crack Central High
School trackman now at Dartmouth,
as at the Princeton Club games last
spring he was not beaten until the
last twenty-five yards by the Ander-
sonite, despite the heavy going.
Johnny Kruger, the captain of the
Academy track team, is a good hurd-
Ter and broad jumper.

patch It up with old. A certain privy
councillor who was in attendance dur
ing the last days of the late emperor
and entered his room told the present
writer that the paper Of the shogi was
brown with age and patched In many
places, giving the room a very gloomy
appearance.
The three essentials Of palace life
would appear to be cleanliness, cere'

court ladies during their toilet per-

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Miss Estelle

William 7. Stead, who perished
in the Titanic disaster, claims TO
have received a number of mess
ages from her fathers spirit In
the past few weeks.
"My father tells me-" she de-
clared, that he is working where
he is just now, the same as he
did here, for the promotion of
world peace. Being untrameled
by a physical body and able to
be here, there and everywhere,
he is working and influencing by
impression. His latest message
reads:
There is a heavy work in
front. Do not imagine the Turk

FIGHT In

the city over street grades reach
ed the stage of fsticuffs in the
corridor of the city hall today

Charles Seviar on the cheek, after
Serviar had pushed" him on the
shoulder.
Serviar wants the grading done.
Donahue does not.
The council Monday ordered
the work done but the remonstraI
tors are not satisfied and came
back today. The petitioners came
too. They met in the hall and
clashed. Serviar laid his hand on
Donahue's shoulder and told him
he would buy the lots adjoining
his place and shut off his access
to the outside world. Donahue
answered with a rap on the jaw.
Then he followed It up with
choice language, insisting Saviar

things.
