AMERICANS LOSE
| FIRST. TO MA1AWAN
Score Tied at End of First Hall
but High School Pulls
..a~as Out Ahead.

The American A. c. played their
first basketball game OF the year last
night and went down to defeat to the
Matawan high school quintet at the
Geran Hall court in Matawan.
The game last night was one OF the
fastest, If not the fastest, ever played
by the high school team in Matawan.
At the close of the first half it ap-
peared as If the victory would surely
20 to the local team, with tie as
one of the most probable happenings.
From the time Referee Leary call
ed the first half until the end of the
game, the play was the hottest ever
seen in this part of the state, and
Matawan people felt well repaid for
their interest in the team and their
attendance at the game. If their play
is any criterion, things look good for
the NJ H. s. team this season.
Ross Fountain played in the first
half of the game and scored three
foul goals and one field goal. He and
Ba6er were taken out and Burns and
Kinefer substituted in the last half.
Paul Weber and Robert Burns
were the biggest scoring factors Tor
the high school team, while Koyen
and Miller starred at baskets for the
local team. DeLeon was the only
other local player to score.
The score of the game, the final
result of which was 2S-16 in favor OF
the Matawan team, was:

PA. GUN CLUB SHOOT
WITH kEYPORT SAT.
Five Best Scores to Count in

The first of a series of inter-club
shoots will be held on Saturday at
the range of the Bayside Gun Club of
Keyport. when the Perth Amboy Gun

contest at the blue rocks.
In the past both clubs have held q
special shoot on the last Saturday OF
the month, and in an effort to create
more interest the Bayside club have
changed their date to the second Sat-
urday. so that interclub contests on
the same day will attract a large field
of guuners. The Board of Trade
handicap on the last Saturday of the
month will be held at that time at the
local club, with the Keyport gunners
as the guests at the next shoot
OF course, neither club will be able
to compete in the others special
event. but the interclub shoots viii be
held concurrent with the main event.
The first five scores of both teams
will be counted in the interclub con-
test The prize will not be a none

will probably be made for the pur-
chase of cup.

New Brunswick, Oct. 12.-The
knights of st. Peter opened their
1s16-1917 bask etban season on the
Columbia Hall court last night. when

the knights, and they made the most
OF it.
Columbia Hall was packed when the
first call was gtven for the game The
peuned up enthusiasm of the basketball
fans was let out in the first hall, but
when the game resolved itself into q
runaway, the enthusiasm dropped INTO

Knights in the county for the season.

State Gets Big Game Preserve;
Deer Season Opened Yesterday
Famous BucWood Park is Turned Over to State Game Com
mission as Bird Sanctua Try and Preserve for All Wild
Game.

when the deer hunting season is on,
this month, hunters are urged by the
State Fish and Game Commission to
adopt some distinctive type of clothing
as a safeguard against shooting acci-
dents. White hats and coats are rec
commended by many experienced
sportsmen as the best protection
against the possibility of being mis-
taken for game, especially early in the
season, when red. the color most gen.
orally adopted hithertofore, frequently
corresponds too'closely to a background
Of tinted leaves. Under most condi-
tons, however. red is equally as salts
factory as white, while some favor a
combination of white coat and red
hat.
Although efforts have been made to
have such q statute enacted, there is
no law requiring q hunter to wear
clothing Of a protective color. but this
precaution is already regarded by
thousands of sportsmen as a protection
that every hunter owes to himself The
commissioners believe that the pro-
tecting values of a conspicuous attire
should not be confined to the deer sea-
son, but should be worn at all times
when hunting, as human beings have
been shot On mistake for birds and
small game when brilliant clothing
might have prevented the accident

BUYING A POSTAGE STAMP.

According to the Shelby tky.} Rec
ord, citizen of Anderson county
walked into the postoffice at Sparrow
the other day and asked the post
master if he had such a thing as a
two-cent stamp. If he had, the Wis
tor rather guessed he'd take one.
He wanted to mail a letter, and had
been told that it was customary on
such occasion to buy stamp He
was 80 years old, and had never mail
ed letter before
We may smile at such a lack of
sophistication, but the background it
represents is a rather solemn thing
to contemplate. The contrast between
that middle-aged man, to whom the
purchase of tWO-cent stamp was
one of the memorable events Of a
lifetime, and the ordinary citizen who
mails, and receives, a handful of let.
ters every week or every day, is a
striking one. And nothing, perhaps,
could suggest more powerfully the
real significance of the postage stamp
as a symbol of civilization.
Presumably. the man who sent no
letters got none. Presumably, too
no newspapers or magazines came tc
him. And thus for him he great
world, which the postman brings tc
most Of our doors at least once every
day, did not exist. All that we know
of public affairs, of foreign lands, OF
the mighty movements of armies and
navies and business and politics and
economics and science and literature
if it comes to such ma at all, comes
only as a vague, dim echo. He is
dulled and chained. when he mikht
even thuogh bound to one remote
spot, share the manifold life of hu.

There are too many men-and wo.
men-merely negotiating, for lack of
a postage stamp and what it repre-,

BOSS" SHEPARD.

When it was proposed TO pave

took the lead. The idea appealed
to his imagination. He converted

not even wait to pack, but went south

A TIP TO CARRANZA.

Gen. CarranZa is said to be getting
worried about the presence of our
troops. And it's natural enough.
They have already penetrated Mexico
to distance Of about 400 miles, and
it looks as if they may go several
hundred miles farther in their quest
for the elusive Villa. AS their lines
Iengthen. more soldiers pour into the
country to safeguard their communi-
cations. More U. S. A. motor cars
rush southwark with supplies. The
invasion constantly gains momentum,
assumes bigger dimensions and looms
larger in the eyes of the Mexican
people.
The population is being impressed
with the power Of the United States
as it has not been before for some
6S years. The First Chief, who hates
and fears us, doesn't like thai. More
over, as the expedition gains firmer
foothold in Mexico there is, to sus-
picious Mexican eyes, always the pos.
sibility that We may decide to turn it
into an army Of Intervention and oc-
cupation. We have no such intention,
but Carranza isn't any too certain Of
that. -.
There is a perfectly 5ssimple way,
however, for the First Chief To allay
his fears. All he has to do to get
that gringo army out of Mexico i'm.
mediately is to get busy and kill or
capture Villa himself That doesn't
seem to have occurred to him.
