VECSI IS THIRD IN
PRINCETON GAMES;
PRATT WINS FIRST

John Vecsi, the sturdy and clever
little athlete of Woodbridge high
school, took third place in the 100
yard dash at the Princeton Uniyer-
sity games at Newark Saturday.
Thirty contestants were entered in
the event, who included the cream of
high and prep school runners In the
East. Vecsi's showing was admirable
from a local standpoint and he is
deserving of great credit for the ex-
hibition he gave in so great field.
These games are considered the
classic of New Jersey and always
have the best men entered. The
track for the events was very slow
due to the fact that after the heats
spikes of shoes had ripped it mp and
caused havoc with the time
in the finals.
Vecsi won his heat in 10.4 seconds
and won the semI-hnal in the same
time and came In third in the final
Norman Pratt, representing Pingry,
but formerly of this city, tied with
Ralph Runyon, of Plainfield, for first
place in the high jump. A coin was
tossed up to determine the winner of
the gold medal, which Runyan was
lucky enough to win, and Pratt got
the third silver medal.

Yankees Win Easily.
It was not a difficult task for the
Yankees to romp away with a victory
over the PAGERS yesterday, despite
the fact that Twirler Pieh worked
erratically in the second inning,
score eight runs. Luck was with
the Yankees throughout, even to the
extent of getting flukey home run in
the seventh inning
The Yankees started scoring in the
opening of the second inning. Daley
lined out double, Kingman secur-
ed a pass, Cottrell went out. Pieh
doubled and reached third on Rud-
dy's error and Schwert singled.
The closing half of the second was
the PAGERS banner inning. Three
of the club members were up twice
in that session. Plate got on first
through Daley's high throw over first.
Ruddy singled. Eley singled, scor-
ing Plate. Regan flied to right.
Randolph was given a pass and
Loeser got on through a fielder's
choice, Ruddy going out, Pieh to
Schwert. Christopherson and Schrage
were next passed and Howatt got
a single, just before which two runs
were forced in. Plate and Ruddy fol-
lowed with singles. The side was f.
nally retired with Eiley flying to
right garden. The only other seor-
ing done by the PAGERS was in the
sixth. This was done by singles de-
livered by Christopherson, Schrage
and Howatt in succession.
Timely hits and long drives,
coupled with the aid of PAGER errors
enabled the Yankees to score in all
but two innings. for a total of fif-
teen points, but two of the runs were
received through a lucky home run
for Kelly In this the ball struck near
where Fielder Eley had first stood
and bounded over the right field
fence. The weather was too cool and
the wind too strong on the top of the
hill for Randolph to work at his best
Pieh pitched for five innings for the
Yankees, during which he allowed
seven hits. Ring twirled for the
next four innings and gave the Pa
GERS five hits. The score:

no difficulty in showing their super
tority over the Roosevelt A. c.. on
the diamond at Recreation Park,
Woodbridge, yesterday afternoon.
The local crew came out victor by
a score of II to z, and might have
held the Roosevelt team scoreless
and earned the same number Of runs
had they felt so disposed. AS things
went, Applegate and the team behind
him let up trif1e and the visitors to
Woodbridge were thereby enabled to
score seven runs in the last portion
of the game.
Applegate twirled in his usual
good form and the team was there
with it's customary brand of stick
work. They displayed admirable
team work throughout and tailed
nearly dozen runs in the first few
Innings. They seemed to score at
will, pounding the horsehide hard
and displaying fine speed on the base
lines. Kenny received Applegate in
fine style
shining lights in the game, featuring
with spectacular fielding at second
for the FEanklins He grabbed up
everything that came his way.

innings, the PAGERS lost out to Oscar
Wilson's club at the park on Satur-
day by the score of to 6. Wilson's
team landed on the pitching OF Simp-
son In the ninth inning and knocked
his offerings all over the lot. For
the first seven innings Simpson had
pitched fair article of ball, but he
was saved many times by good sup
port. In the eighth and ninth in
nings Simpson didn't have a thing
ON the ball and the All Stars knocked
in six runs. After Saturdays exhi-
bition Simpson was given his walking
papers and the PAGERS will not be
forced to suffer longer by his poor
pitching.

the first inning and the PAGERS got
off to three run lead. Zehrer hit
Schrage over the eye and also hit

Billy Varley of the Jefferson is re- sponsible for the latest linking of residents of Phoenix with the war zone created by the imperial govern ment of Germany, surrounding the British Isles
 According to Billy, the porter at the Jefferson, a large and husky coIored man, by the name of John Hoke was at one time a cook on the Lee lanaw, the steamer sunk by the Ger mans during the past few days Many are the tales that John has to tell about his steamship days
 Long and continually he held forth to the admiring populace which hangs out around the Jefferson. on what good sailor and cook he used to be
 But here's the rub. For a long time it was wondered and marvelled at by his listeners why one who was such a necessary and faithful ad- junct to any steamships personell should ever leave the briny deep.
 Finally some one got up nerve enough to ask John why he left the Leelanaw. After considerable hem ming and having. truthful John came forth with the fact that once upon a time. when he was aboard the i'll fated ship. they were started upon a long cruise up into northern waters. and being of 9 natural warm -blooded disposition. he got considerably cold one night. when several ice hergs were in the near offing. In order to mitigate this coolness. he conceived the brilliant idea of taking an oil stove to bed with him.
 Deceived and betrayed by the de- signing warmness. he fell asleep, and accidentally knocked the stove over setting fire to his bed clothes. him self and a good share of the ship.
 He does not tell whether he was put in irons for the rest of the voy- age or not. but he admits to the fact that he left the boat at the next port of call Anyone doubting the above story is invited to call at the Jeffer- son and interview the Porter
