venge at Home for Early
Season Defeat.
FREE THROWS AID WINNERS

East Side High School made up for
its early season defeat at the hands
of Orange High School yesterday.
when the Down Neck school quintet
registered SO to "a victory over the
suburbanites in basketball game on
the East Side court The East Siders
played an excellent passing game,
and completely outclassed the Or
ange team in the second half.
In the first half the game was very
even. Orange guarded tenaciously,
and held the home quintet to a two
point lead until the close of the first
half. At the time the score was
II to Is in favor of East Side.
East Side apparently benefited by
the rest between the periods, for soon
after the opening whistle of the Sec
ond half the Red and White spurted
and gained several points through
rousing team play. Orange came
back strong near the close of the
game, but the advantage was too
great TO be overcome in the short
space of time
The two teams scored the same
number of field goals. but East Side
proved more accurate on caging free
throws, netting ten points on penal
ties and an additional count on the
referees award. Orange scored only
two of its penalty chances.
Perry, of Orange, led the field,
scoring with a count of six baskets.
Cirincione, of East Side, followed
with four field goals, while Leonardis,
a team mate, accounted for fifteen
points, with two field goals and ten
free throws The summary.

ICE YACHT TITLE IS
CAPTURED BY imp
Robert Heitemeyer's Fast Boat
Keeps Championship in No.
Shrewsbury Club.
RACE BEGAN LAST YEAR.

BY defeating the South Shrewsbury
Ice Yacht Club yesterday the North
Shrewsbury Club, of Red Bank, re-
tanned the Ice yachting championship
of North America, the third and final
leg of "a series of three races being
held on the North Shrewsbury river.
The first leg was won by the South
Shrewsbury Club last year, and the
second leg was captured by the North
Shrewsbury Club on the afternoon of
the same day, but ON the day set for
the third race the ice melted and left
the river thus preventing let yacht
ing for the remainder of the season.
The race yesterday, which was
sailed over a twenty-mile course from
a stake opposite the Trafford Allen
North Shrewsbury Club, owned by
Robert Heitemeyer, of New York, and
sailed by Reuben White, with Henry
Applegate tending the sheet. in the
fast time of 1905 The Tyro, owned
by Thomas Henry Grant, of New
York and Red Bank, and sailed by
Gerry Morford, finished second in
ALSO. The Princeton, owned by Cap
tain William Johnson, sailed by Asher
Wardell, and the Hazel L., owned by
William Joline, with Robert Curtis
sailing, representing the South
Shrewsbury Club, finished third and
fourth, respectively.
At the start the boats were punched,
but, as strong northwest wind be-
gan blowing almost as soon as the
starting signal was sounded, the Imp
took the lead and held it to the finish.
At times the racing craft were lifted
clear of the ice, and spun around like
tops in the wind. The Hazel L. split
her main sheet while standing on the
starting line, but this was replaced
with a temporary sail. On the finish
of the seventh lap she withdrew, hav-
ing been Tapped once by the Imp. The
fact that the Tyro finished second
came as a great surprise to the sup
porters of the Princeton.

TURNER'S TO MEET
GOOD COUNSEL FIVE
Visiting Team Is from Brook
Ign and Ranks High in Bas-
ketbaIl Arena.
FAST PRELIMINARY GAME

AS the usual weekly attraction at
the National Turn Hall, in Bruce
street, tomorrow night the National
Turner basketball artists will have as
their opponents the Good Counsel
Five, of Brooklyn. The latter quin-
tet are lively combination from the
City of Churches, and from present
indications 1t looks as though they
were to be the successors to the ia
nous st. James Triangles, of that
city. Their maneuvering and team
play actions are the likeness of the
Triangles.
The Good Counsel team are prac-
tically the Trinity Triangles, and
during December played the Turner's
here and defeated the locals. This
will be revenge game, as the Bruce
streeters are anxious to even matters
for the previous defeat.
The Turner's have won eight games
in the new year and lost one. They
are going to do some tall hustling in
order to capture this game.
In the preliminary game the Ma
tional Turner Juniors will play the
Alley Boys, of Harrison. The per-
formers in the big game will be Cap
tain W. O'Toole, r. Clark, Lapszien,
M. Clark, Hageman and j. O'Toole.

HAD ONCE BEEN REJECTED

BERLIN, Feb. 17-By a consider
able majority the German Imperial
Parliament today adopted an appro-

games to be held here in 1916. The
appropriation was rejected by the
budget committee on January 10, but
the leaders of the clerical party to-
day gave their followers freedom of
action in the matter and all but a few
of them voted in favor of the appro-
priation
The Socialists persisted in their at
titude of protest, but it was pointed
out that this was more for political
reasons than from hostility to the

Atha is one of the best schoolboy
pole vaulters in the city. He is also
an adept at baseball, basketball and

Atha's desertion from the ranks of
the Red and Black is a climax to an
agitation which mas been in evidence
for the last few days at the High
