MES against King Alcohol let him go
mission, and listen to the fiery testi-
mony of the men who have been re-
claimed and redeemed from the curse
of drink
Peter NJ, Shomber related his early
convictions against the saloon when
only Il boy because of what he saw in
his own immediate surroundings. He
struck the note of human need when
he said that places should be provided
to take the place of the saloon as a
club or gathering place of men in cities
and urged that the churches be opened
six days in the week to help supply
this need.
Mrs. Fridington referred in her well
chosen remarks to the rising genera
ton who would benefit from the ma
ton being dry. mo one could esti-
mate" she said, ''what it would mean
to the boys growing to manhood"
Mrs. Cause, recently from Pitts
burgh, in the great mill district, where
thousands of workingmen live. re-
ferred to the curse among the laboring
men and the pitiful cases where sons,
husbands and fathers are running the
lives of mothers, daughters and wives
through drink.
The celebration covered a period of
two hours. Mr.. Cause called atten-
ton to this, but stated that the meet
ing could not close without Il tribute
to the untiring work of one of their
former members and distinguished cit
liens, Professor Alphonso \. Hopkins,
who was recently called to his eternal
reward. Professor Hopkins, Mr.. Cause
stated, had been one of the national
leaders for the past generation, at one
time being candidate for the pres-
dency on the Prohibition ticket. Miss
Hausman was then called upon and re-
sponded by reading two poems of vic
tory and triumph from Professor Hop
kins' book of poems, The Bugle of
Right"

CAMP MERRITT LOSE
TO CLIFFSlDE.

On Wednesday evening a quintette
of soldiers from Camp Merritt came
to the local High School gym to play
basket ball against the crimson and
black aggregation. The team from
Camp Merritt was composed of men
from the headquarters division.
Coach Burns had the best players
on the court in the first half that the
local High School could produce This
consisted of Harry Vanderback at
center, Scullion and Rollins forward,
Gebhart and Mazei at guard.
After the referee twirled the bali in
the air and blew his whistle Nandy
tapped the ball. After both teams
had the ball in possession Rollins shot
the first basket of the game. The To-
cal rooters almost raised the roof off
with their enthusiastic cheers.
That was the starting point of the
High School boys romp to victory.
The brilliant work of the boys in
pass and floor work was the main
cause of their easy defeat of the boys
in khaki.
That the local boys easily outclass-
ed the quintette from the Bergen
county camp can evidently be seen by
glancing at the score, which was: G.
=. III. s., 80: Camp Merritt, II.
The trouble with the soldier boys
was that they are used to playing the
professional rules of the game. while
last night they had to play the anna
teur rules. But Bradley. the referee.
allowed for this and did not call as
many fouls as he should have. Chief
NeWrider, an Indian, played forward
and was the visitors star.
Before the game it was thought that
the visitors would run aawy from the
local boys, because all of their players
were former college stars out west.
In the second half Coach Burns put
i'll an entirely different team 1t com
posed McClosky, Clerneck, Lomet, En-
PLACE and Lewis Eanderbach.
All of the boys who played on the
local team played a slashing good team,
especially Scullion, Rollins, Wander
bach, Mazzei, Gebbard and Cerneck.

CLUBS ARE ENOUGH
Famous Golf Professional
Gives Hints for Those Be
ginning al Game.
BRASSIE VERY USEFUL

Harry Nardon says that for anybody
who is beginning the game or resuming It
after IL long period. the hest way is 10
cultivate first the acquaintance o: four
clubs-brassc, mid-iron, mashie and
putter. Tho brassie can be used for
driving. 1t is not usually employed for
that purpose. but Nardon contends that
having a suspicion of loft" on it's face
and a SITTER shaft than the driver. it
is the easier club with which to hit the
ball from the tee
The SITTER shaft makes it more amen
able to control, and even the small de-
gree of loft that it possesses neps In
the business OF getting the ball away. II
may not secure quite so long a shot as
the driver but Nardons argument is that
you cannot do better at the outset than
stimulate all the confidence that clrcum-
stances will allow.
That obtained the driver-being of the
same length and lie as the brassie-does
its good work naturally. The champion
himself has recourse on occasion to his
brassie for driving. II is as likely as
anything to act as the cure for an cpl
demc of misdirected tee shots. The
cause may be nothing more than that
! the Ileyre is swinging trfie faster than
usual and that the whlpplness OF the
driver shaft Is accentuating this increase
In pace and putting the swing out OF
| time.
The staid shaft OF the brasSie-built
to stand the strain of cutting through
the grass---will operate frequently as q
brake on this exuberance.
