Ottawa trimmed La Sale last even

in game played in the gymnasium of
the o. II. S. The Ottawa boys are to-
day the happiest bunch in the Illinois
Valley, after defeating their strongest
opponents. For the past week and a
half they have been living under rigid
training rules, laid down for them by
Coach Frankenhause, and it is tothis
training their victory is attributed.
The game was one of the best that
has been played in Ottawa for many
and full of pep, and each was anxious
to carry off the victorious score.
In the preliminary game played be
tween the La Sale Social Center team
and the Ottawa All stars, the La Sale
boys defeats Ottawa with a score OF
"A to 20 The La Sale team had chal
lenged any Ottawa team to a game
feeling certain that they would win
and the All Stars had accepted the
challenge. The ottawa team was in
very bad shape last night, and some
OF their best players had been out on
account of sickness. They claim they
will meet their neighboring city team
again in the near future, and will de

One Of the most serious problems con-
fronting the automobiie world to-day lie
the prevention Of the theft OF cars. 1t
has been estimated that over $4,000, 900
worth Of automobiles were stolen In this
country last year and Il can be truth
fully said that no other crime can be
committed with SO little effort and. SO
little danger OF detection.
Police Investigations have disclosed
countrywide organizations that have
been formed for the purpose of stealing
and disposing Of automobiles. Further
records show that for every hour OF the
clock, day in and day out through the
year. four automobiles are siolen and
but II per cent ever recovered. Tho ma
jority of those eventually returned to
their owners are usually in such dam
aged condition that they are worthless.
In New York alone It has been reported
that fifty cars are lost daily.
To aid in finding a way to protect the
motorist many companies. particularly
the automobiles distributors, 'ave been
devoting a great deal OF their time ana
effort TO the finding Of a locking device
that would prove almost theftproof. The
Colt-Stratton Company. for insrance.
have just conducted an exhaustive inves-
tigation in the relative merits Of prac-
tically every lock on the market. As a
result they have decided TO sell the
Johnson Automobile Gear Lock. This
lock consists of gear rhifting lever
with a locking device that is operated
by Yale key. The key forces a steel
plunger down between the gear shift
forks. thus preventing the gears from

Road Conditions.

MADE bv the Chicf RoadmaH OF the AUTO
mobile Cisb Of America)
The Hudson County Boulevard Is I'M
der repair between Newark avenue and
the Plank road. There is an excellent
detour provided by turning Off at sum-
init avenue station into Bergen street.
which is followed parallel with the Hud-
son County Boulevard to Church street,
where a right turn is made to the little
park on the boulevard, then on through
the park to Newark.
Schooley's Mountain never was In
better condition than IL is to-day. In
fact. the entire mountain road has been
graded with p trap rock screening sur
face. then oiled. and the bad turn which
has always been a menace to motorists
is now quite easy and properly banked
on the outside.
So many motorists make inquiries in
regard TO the best way to the Delaware
Water Gap that the following Informal
ton is furnished:
From Hackettstown through Vienna.
Buttzvllle and Bridgeville there is a
good macadam road, but from Bridge
Vile to the Delaware River at Della
ware. where a new bridge is crossed.
the road will soon be closed and under
construction. Motorists who are famil-
lar with this stretch will be glad to go
over almost any detour in order that
the last lap on the New York-Water Gap
QUITE may be finished. This has been a
nuisance to the automobiiist for the last
fifteen years.
When the Bridgeville-D Delaware road
is closed there are two alternatives to
the Water Gap after leaving Hacketts-
town. both of which are rather poor.
One Is to continue on through TO Belye-
dere, crossing the Delaware River. then
over to Bethel and north to Portland.
The other is to run north over a good
macadam road TO Allamuchy, then west
through Blairstown to Columbia and
across the Columbia Bridge.
BY the way. at the present time there
is a large sign in Portland which reads
Newark and New York; directing the
motorist over the old Columbia Bridge.
which is still a toll bridge and no doubt
controlled by a few townspeople who
are not interested in the motoring pub
