OVER 3RD
IN | LEAGUE:
w. H. S. Want Game on the
Railway Y. m. C. A. Court s.
Locals for Goodwill Court.

Since the victory of the crimson
and white over the Woodbridge
high sShQol team last Friday, there
has been iflucn u.v-4s ~ between
the players and supporters of either
combination as to where the third
game of the series between these ag-
gregations will be STAGED. The
Woodbridge high school lads do not
care to take any chances on the
decisive fray of the series which may
also mean the championship of the
Middlesex County League and will
hold out for their demands.
The Woodbridge tossers are anx-
ious to stage the battle on the Rah-
way Y. M. c. A. court, which being
small and in other respects like
their court would make them as
much at home as any playing space
which could be termed neutral. or
course. the locals are not in favor
of this suggestion and are holding
out for the game to be played on
the Goodwill court in this city. The
high school clan has not practiced
or performed on the Goodwill court
and as this playing space is the
meUlum between the AuulIbl Jun
and the w. II. s.. court, local sports
are anxious to clinch arrangements
for Goodwill court.
AS Reyder and Wand as well as
Cushing have often performed on
the Parish House court, that place
will not be considered. The Knights
of Pythias court in South Amboy
may be considered, while even the
K. of p. in Tottenville would come
in for some consideration.

ORGANIZATION

Only SembIance of Baseball
Leagus--To Hold Meeting in
PlainfieId Hotel Feb. IL.

Although every city in Union and
Middlesex counties have different
tales of leagues which are to be or
ganized for the coming season, the
only real semblance of an organiza-
ton seems to come from Plainfeld,
one of Union county's prides. "
meeting has been called for Feb A.

Plainfield hotels. Which hotel Is to
be chosen has not yet been decided,
this being the only indefinite point.
The teams which are expected to
enter In the proposed league for
which a reorganization meeting will
be held February IL, will represent
the following cities: Plainfield,
Bound Brook, Somerville. Elizabeth,
New Brunswick, and Perth Amboy.
While there Is much doubt as to
whether any league will be organ
ICED or started, the Plainfield-C our-

certain that that there will be a
league, but further than that is I'M

MOORE AND
NUMMAGE
PLAY 600
To Decide Championship of
Amateur Pocket Billiard Ar
lists First Games Jan 29.

Dominick Antonio, popularity
known as "Nummage," and Walter
Moore will play match games on
January 20, January 80, and Janu-
airy 81 to decide the championship of
the amateur pocket billiard artists
in this city. Each of the three
nights, games of 200 points will be
played, making a total of 500 points.
Good breaks or bad breaks'-both
cue wielders should be able to show
up in their true form In such big
games.
According to the agreement OF
both last night, the games Will be
played under Brunswick-Balke gov
eminent rules and will be staged in
Acciani's Pocket Billiard Academy.
"Nummage" has been the shark
of this burg at pool for many
years. One of his best feats was to
trim the "would-be champs" of this
place everytime a new contender
arose. However Moore seems more
formidable than the rest and he will
in all probabilities give a good ac-
count of himself. Antonio realizes
this and is practicing regularly so as
to keep in good trim. Both artists
performed against the old DOC"
Nelson when the latter gave exhibit
tons here last week and both were
defeated although by small scores on
each occasion.

Because of the wonderful shoot
ing of the Railway Y. M. c. A. boys
on the Railway court last night, the
Riversides were subjected to n of
the worst drubbings of the year in
the form of a 44-24 w%alloping. The
game was by no means a poor one
for the many brilliant plays of the
Y. M. c. A. clan and some by the
"Rivies" afforded the great throng
which saw the game many opportun-
tiles to cheer. The Riversides play
ed in fine style, but the Union coun-
ty lads worked much better than the
locals and for this reason the battle
resulted as it did.

The Railway Y. M. G. A. team has
not lost one game on their home
court this year. All have been by

crews will probably clash again on
the Railway court, since the Union
county lads refuse to play on the
Auditorium court.
Arthur Armstrong, of the yicto-
rious clan, is deserving of most OF
the spoils for his splendid work al
the throttle. He ran away" from
Reynolds who was playing in good
form. Not only did he drop eight
field goals through the net, while
Bill was caging three, but his floor

ures in the contest. Ritzman's
great shooting was also a shining
effect. Elmer Armstrong outpoint-

ILLINOIS DEADLOCK BROKEN

The senatorial deadlock, which has
been on in Illinois for several weeks
was broken on Tuesday, a week ago,
by the election of J. Hamilton Lewis,
democrat, for the long term and Law
renee Y. Sherman, republican, for the
short term The result was accomp,
lished by the regular republicans and
democrats forming combination
which insured enough votes to elect
a republican and a democrat
There is much to be said in favor
of the action of the legislature Both
candidates had won at the primary
held by their political parties last
year. Governor Dunno, a democrat,
favored the election of Sherman and
Lewis as there did not seem to be
any show of electing two democrats
No doubt if there was no other sOu-
ton possible, as both candidates were
tavorites of their respective parties,
it perhaps is alright that they won
out. There is no suggestion of any
scandal such as has characterized the
Illinois legislature on some former oc-
casions.

That reminds us Of the vote here
several years ago on the question OF
purchasing what is known as the

poses. The men generally voted
against the purchase of the property,
but the women quite as generally vot-
ed for it, and carried the proposition
after which the school board consum-
mated the purchase of the property in

voters. We do not know the wisdom

CORRESPONDENCE
SHOULD PROVIDE SAFETY

During the last few days the coun-
try has experienced the worst storms
of wind and water of which there is
any record On Sunday afternoon, a
week ago, Omaha and other points in
eastern Nebraska as well as several
points in western Iowa were visited
by a cyclone which carried death and
desolation to the several localities. 1t
is probably true that at no other time
in the history of the country has there
been a more destructive visitation than
the storm which made path several
hundred feet wide and not less than
six miles long through the heart Of
the resident section of Omaha. There
were killed in the neighborhood of 200
people and larger number injured
by the action of the storm, and the
damages to property amounted to mil
lions of dollars. The loss in many in
stances fell upon poor people who are
unable to bear the loss.
The storm came from the south
west and passed through Iowa, Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio. At several
points in Iowa the cyclone blew down
houses and other buildings and de-
stroyed life and property. At Terre
Haute, Ind, well defined cyclone
developed and hundreds of people
were killed and injured and an i'm
mense amount Of property destroyed.
In Indiana and Ohio the rain fell in
torrents and caused the streams to
overflow their banks and to inundate
the country for miles on either side.
This is especially true many cities
in Ohio, such as at Dayton, Ham
ilton, Columbus, GAINESVILLE etc,
at which places hundreds of lives
were lost and millions upon mil
lions of property destroyed. Nothing
in the history of the state of Ohio has
caused greater devastation than the
floods of the last week. Indications
are that some of the cities could have
escaped with less loss of life and prop
erty had the proper precautions been
taken by the city authorities, and this
is said to be especially true of Dayton,
where predictions had been made that
just such calamity as befell the city
you'd occur, if the authorities neg
lected to guard against the threat
ened danger.
There is no question but what steps
will be taken to prevent repetition
of the loss of life and damage of the
foods of the last few days, although
it may mean the expenditure of time
and great deal of money.
1t is more difficult to guard against
cyclones, because no one knows where
they are liable to strike. We think
as a precaution against the injuries
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1913-04-02

and loss of life that each home should
have a cyclone cave to which the
members OF the family can flee in case
of a storm. Some people may laugh
at this suggestion, but the tragedies
which came with the storm in Omaha
and other places make it reasonable
to guard against danger. Every school
house, whether in the country or in
the city, should be provided with
a place of safety in case of a cyclone.
Human life is too valuable to be treat
ed lightly when places of safety can
be provided at little expense.
