NATIONALS READY
FOR K. OF P.T0N|CHI
spsciakto the EVENING NEWS.


Tottenville, Dec. 12.-Joe Belts will
take his Knights of Pythias five to
Long Branch tonight to meet the Nat
tonals Of that place on the Long
Branch theatre court. The team will
go down in autos and plan to leave
here at about Z o'clock.
The Knights team will oppose the
strong quintet that has given the Riv-
ersides a struggle for victory in two
games, and who put up one Of the
stiffest games that the South Amboy-
ans have played this season last Fri
day. 1t will be practically the same
team that played against the Y. NJ. G.
on the Parish House court on Nov. Is.
The score of the RIVE game at the sea-
shore was 43-36, that of the RIVE
game in South Amboy. 1920. and that
of the Y. M. c. game at the Parish
House. 1921.
In an advance line up, Doc. Reisner
announces his team to be Reisner and
Flanagan, forwards, Easty. center and
Heiles and Walsh. guards. "Bibs"
Mathews will be out Of the game. The
team misses the big center consider
ably, as his work Is a great help to
them.
Belts may use several second string
players, as he wishes to save his big
team for the big game against the Y.
M. G. tomorrow night, but he will not
have any weak organization to send
against the Long Branch five. His am
bition is to win tomorrow's game, and
above that, to win tonight's game from
the Nationals on their home court.

AQUEH0kGAS LOSE THREE
TO hMICITIA SECONDS

Tottenville. Dec. 1.-THE Aquc-
honga Seconds were no match for
the Amicitia Seconds last night on
the latter's alleys in Pleasant Plains,
and lost three straight games to
them by respectable scores.
Larkin, of the home team, was the
high score man for the night with
1913, but the next game he rolled was
95. followed by III. Leibert, of the
Amicitias. was the high average man
for the night with scores of 1876, 1853
and 1T.
Warri Extra!
Clarence Hoffman lost two out of
three games to w. II. War; at the
Y. M. c. A. yesterday afternoon. Clar-
ence is considered one of the best
bowlers in the Y. NJ. G.. A. and Mr..
War; one OF the best also He
topped the letter man in the second
and third games, made the high score
and the high average, as we'll as the
high total Of pins for the three
games. Hoffman had recovered suffi-
ciently last night to hit the high
spots in the league match, in which
he was mainly instrumental in stop
ping the A. s. and r. team.

|CHANGES CERTAIN
FOR LEAGUE PLACES

Tonight will see the regular weekly
matches of the Middlesex County
Bowling League. The teams are made
up of Middlesex, Union and Monmouth
clubs, but all come under the head of
the center county for the nonce.
Woodbridge will go over to Roose-
welt in an endeavor to even up the
score they hold against that team for
their defeat last week. The same will
hold good OF the Railway Y. M. c. A.
team, who roll on the Brunswick al
leys in Keyport. The oysters beat the
Union county lads in three straight
games last week, and there is a score
to be settled there And last but far
from least, the Y. NJ. c. A. team will
travel over and try their luck again
with the South Amboy P. r. r. Y. NJ.
c. A. whom they defeated in three
straight on the local alleys last Tues
day.
The Y. NJ. c. A. bowlers have a
chance, bare possibility of coming
home in the lead tonight. They have
better chance of tieing the Bruins
wicks for first place in the standing.
and still better judging by previous
games, of advancing in the league to
gether with the Reporters without
gaining.
If Keyport loses three games to
Railway tonight, and there is chance
that the team will do that and II
Perth Amboy wins three from South
Amboy, and there is likewise a posi-
bility Of that, the Y. NJ. c. A. team will
hop into the lead, sharing 1t with
Roosevelt in case the Chronicles win
three from Woodbridge. The Roose-
veItians and the Y. NJ. C. A. team are
tied at present for second place.
II. however, the Brunswicks lose two
of their three games, and the Y. NJ. c.
A. or the Roosevelt team take three
straight from their opponents, 1t will
place all three teams in a tie for first

RUTGERS DROPPED
BY PRINCETON t


New Brunswick, Dec. 12.-Football
relations between Rutgers and Prince
ton have been broken off owing to the
strength of the Rutgers team. Prince
ton has notified the local college that
the Tigers do not want such hard
game before the big games of the sea-
son. They already have Dartmouth in
the early part of the year.
There was no game between the two
this year, but this was thought to be
only temporary, as Princeton had only
one date, that of the Rutgers 150th
anniversary celebration, and Rutgers
wanted q home game then. There
seems to be no chance of a game, how
ever, unless Princeton is willing to play
the Saturday before Thanksgiving,
after its game with Yale and Harvard.
Rutgers will try to schedule Colgate
in place of Princeton for next year.
Attempts are also being made to get u
middle western game.

bunch without him. What with the
artillery furnished by Ernie Cope
land, Blackie Regan and Austin
Hornsby, and the sturdy defensive of
Gene Parker and Dick Lehman there
is a good chance that the lanky Mag
slonian will not be needed TO FIJI out
the team.
The Staten Island ferries may not
make any extra trips, but they'll have
a heavily laden boat when the
knights and their rabid contingent
come over to help bang up the Y. M.
c. and push them into oblivion.
Ihe Y. N. 9. can't afford to lose
the game, and the K. of 2. figure the
same way, but one or the other will
do a Hughes, and go home with a
fractured dream.
The gates of the battle-ground VIII
be flung wide at 1880, the strained
music will pipe UP at s, the game
VIII start at 8, and the spectators will
be under the blankets by twelve. AL
together IL looks like a propitious
evening for those who like the game,
Tor those who have a grudge against
somebody else, and for those who
like to dance. If the crowds any
bigger on "Wednesday, anybody who
can dance on that floor will be able
to write the preamble to the Consti-
tuition on the back Of a quarter with
q Whitewash brush. Two way streets
have nothing on that floor when it's
crowded, and the pair that goes any
other way will last as long as q

An ambulance corps will be iastf-
tuted early in the evening and one
ana all expect to pronounce the
evening decided success. Looks as
evenly balanced as Haig and Haig.

NO EPIDEMIC FEARED
How TO Keep From Catching
lnfantile Paralysis

North Carolina is not in i'm
mediate danger of an epidemic
of infantile paralysis, says a
press notice from the State
Board of Health. Furthermore,
according to this article, every
year we have in North Carolina
a number of cases of the disease
and a few deaths but not in cpl
demic form. A number OF cases
throughout the State are now
being reported to the Board but
these were sporadic cases and
probably bear no relation to the
present epidemic in New York.
However, the average citizen
! is anxious to know the main facts
about this dread disease and how
to avoid it, and it is we'll that he
should.
This disease is catching, Its
method of spread is not yet def
niteiy known, but it may be
taken directly from a person
sick of the disease or indirectly
from a third person who has
been associated with patient.
Among the first symptoms are
usually fever, headache, vomit-
ing, weakness and pain, particu-
larly in the muscles of the legs,
arms or back, fretfulness, and
irritability. AS the germs of the
disease are present in the dis
charges from the nose, throat
and bowels it is highly essential
that every precaution be taken
to prevent contact with such
material in any manner. AL
discharges from the nose anC
mouth should be caught on pieces
tof cloth and burned while bowe
discharges should be thoroughly
dlsinfected. Flies should be
eycl1ded from the sick room ano
/ likewise they should be thorough.
LIN screened from nearby houses.
Absolute cleanliness about the
premises, house and person is
hiehly essential. Reaches. body
lice and bed hugs should be killed.
.hDajiy baths, clean clothes, clean
floors and houses are important
items. All sweeping should be
done with damp saw dust or bits
1 of wet newspaper. Floors should
never be swept. dry. Garbage
should be removed frequently.
Children should be kept out OF
4 doors and in the open air as
much AS possible. They should
not be allowed to go to stnlfy
moving picture shows or Other
places where there are large
gatherings of children. Children
should not be kissed nor allowed
to eat raw. unWashed food.
Finally keeping in very best pos
|. sible health il ore of the bes
means OF warding off this ant
many other diseases. Keep stron.
and healthy by observing tn
ordinary rG.ts Of health AM
hygiene.

Franklin Witbdraws and Emporia
Crawfishes Out. Season will
Close with Saturdays Game
WEAVERS TIE WITH PETERSBURG
STANDING OF THE CLUBS
AT CLOSE,

BY telegram to Mr.. S. f. Pat
terson on Saturday Afternoon
Franklin threw up the sponge 81
far as league baseball was con
cerned for the second time thi!
season, alleging as a reason low
finances. Another reason moi
given was the low standing Of
the Franklin team which has
hugged bottom ever since the
season opened.
On Monday Mr.. Bailey, the
manager of the Emporia Club,
proposed that the four games
scheduled between Roanoke Rap
ids and Emporia be played off
this week, which was agreed to
by Mr.. Long, President of the
Roanoke Rapids Baseball Asso-
citation. Later it was found i'm
possible to adhere to the tenta-
tive schedule arranged with Mr..
Bailey, and he was notified that
the Tuesday morning game
would have to be called off, but
that Roanoke Rapids would play
the four games in question on
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day. Emporia refused to do
this and withdrew from the
league, leaving Roanoke Rapids
as a solitary, but shining exam
pie, of how to stick to a thing
once you've started it.
Just now it is impossible to
state who will be declared pen
nant winner, but If the pennant
is not awarded to Roanoke Rapids
it is hardly probable that one will
be given.
Roanoke Rapids broke even in
the Monday and Tuesday games
with the Petersburg Virginia
League Club, winning the first
by one to nothing and losing the
second on the same score. Both
games were unquestionably the
fastest that have ever been played
in Roanoke Rapids and the teams
were very evenly matched.
Both games drew record break
ing attendances for the Roanoke
Rapids Park.
Games with Kelford have been
scheduled here for to-day and to-
morrow. Kelford has one of the
strongest amateur teams in East
ern North Carolina and two
good games are in prospect.
