PALISADE BOY, RANDOLPH BROWN,
PRINCETON SPR|NTER, TR|UMPHS
AT OXFORD, ENGLAND, IN 100 YARDS

The triumph of Randolph E. Brown,
of PaliSade, at the Oxford-Princeton
meet in England on Thursday brings
to America a championship of no mean
importance. Brown beat the one man
considered unbeatable, B. G. D. Rudd,
OF South Africa, in the remarkable
time of ten seconds for the 1OO-yard
dash fiat. 1t was a fine performance,
and considering the fact that the Pali-
sade-American boy travelled 5000 miles
to take on the race, makes it indeed
Brown was defeated by Rudd in the
English Colonial event for 22O yards,
coming in close second. To his team,
however, the win he got this week is
really the more important. The fact
that he had any chance at all is sig
nificant of the fact that he is a re-
markable sprinter, with few equals
anywhere in the world, perhaps the
best there is at the 100-yard dash.
The news that Princeton won six out
of the ten points on the English system
of scoring is also significant of the fact
that it is no easy matter to crush
American athletes in any kind of a
contest. Had the results been reversed
Princeton would still have put up a
fine contest in the Oxford events.
There is no denying the fact that
all Palisade reioices over the victory
of Randolph Brown, and nothing else
was talked of for several DAYS. He
got his running start at England and
has been going better ever since.
Brown was the first of the Ameri-
cans to win. He led from start to
finish in the 100-yard dash and breasted
the tape with a yard and a half to
spare in ten seconds.

Randolph Brown
Gets Full Credit
For Princeton Win

The victory of the Princeton athletes
against Oxford can be traced, if such
a thing is possible, to the victory of
K. E. Brown in the 10O-yard dash. In
every other respect the meet ran true
to the predictions made by track ex-
perts of America and England, which
was that Princeton would win the four
field events and the 120-yard high
hurdles and Oxford four of the track
events. The only doubtful race, in the
minds of both the American and Eng
lish experts, was the 100-yard dash,
which was the pivot ON which the re-
suit of the meet turned. A victory here
would assure Princeton a victory, while
defeat would throw the meet into
deadlock
The triumph of Brown, who is Amer
icas intercollegiate 100 and 220-yard
titleholder, was gained at the expense
of one of Ensland's greatest runners,
B. G. D. Rudd, the famous South
African athlete Whether or not Rudd
could race in both the quarter and half
mile and still have stamina enough to
cope with Brown in the short dash was
a serious question. The task that faced
the South African was completed by
the showing of Brown in the British
championship last week at Stamford
Bridge, where he failed to do the 100
in even time, a performance that he
bettered yesterday in defeating Rudd
by yard and a half.
Erdman's victory for Princeton in
the 12O-yard hurdles was slight de-
Election from the advance calculations.
Trowbridge of Princeton won the event
at Stamford Bridge and was expected
to repeat against Oxford In all other
respects the meet ran true to form.
Montague of Oxford, who won the
1hree-mile race, was beaten by Gordon
Nightingale in similar race at the
Penn relays.-New York Times Cable

Birthday Party
Of Home Scouts

The Boy Scouts of Cliffside Park
have closed their meetings for this
season. They recently celebrated their
birthday. All the scouts came to the
meeting prepared for big time. At
ter the regular business of the meet
ing was over, the troop adjourned to
the hill on the west side of Grantwood.
The march was made in Indian file
with Patrol leaders carrying their
respective flags and all scouts with
packs on their backs. At the camping
site the Eagle patrol was put in charge
of Herbert Mute. Owl patrol Rudolph

keeper and the big eats were started.
Scoutmaster w. E. Stockwell showed
new way of cooking by notched-stick
suspension. Hot dogs with rolls We're
served first followed by peanut-butter
sandwiches, cake, fruit and drinks.
The troop then went to an open lot
just below the camp and played that
exciting game, Capture the Flag" the
oWl anu oIooSc pdtioiS against tIie
Eagle and Wolf. The game involves
all kinds of scoutcraft which was used
to the best advantage by both sides.
After an hour of desperate attempts,
the Owl and Moose patrols charged the
opposite guards twice and the last
time won They had the advantage
by having gathered in many prisoners
who could not participate when under
guard. Seymour Sears, Scout Scribe,
made heroic attempt to rescue his
comrades but the vigilance of the
guard C. Schraier, prevented this and
also resulted in his capture.
Last weeks meeting was confined to
headquarters. All took the oath for
another year and were given their
re-registration certificates.

Tax Collector Says
He Took $4,000

George Frazer, of New Milford for
ten years tax collector of Palisade
Township. surrendered himself to
Capt. Frank Kirk of Hackensack
police headquarters about midnight
on Sunday, remarking II am de-
faulter to the extent of about $1,000,
and 1 want you to notify Mayor
Thomas Yearsley"
That was as far as Frazer would
state at the time, but when the Mayor
reached headquarters Monday morning
the collector cried and made full con-
fessiOn. He said he first began to use
the BOrO funds two years ago, first
taking about $1,000. He used new pay
ments to cover up the former thefts,
and because of this manipulation even
the expert auditor who went over the
books failed to notice anything wrong
Il can tell you exactly how much
I took, but my bond will cover all
the shortage and the BOro won't lose
a cent" continued Frazer. Il had
advertised my house for sale and with
the proceeds l honestly intended to

Had | sold my house no one would
ever known of my acts, and / can
lay full blame for the exposure to my
wife. After a quarrel on Sunday night
she went out to the street and told
some of the neighbors I was a thief
Then l concluded to make full con-
fession and came to Hackensack. It's
been an awful mental strain on me,
and in one way I'm glad it is all over.
am now ready to take my punish
ment."
Mayor Yearsley said that Frazer's
s'ses:sts Is one exces,fIou is
clean, and he regretted that the col
lector wasn't given a chance to square
up his accounts and thus save himself
from public disgrace. The Mayor said
that the BOro is fully protected under
a bond of $4,000.
Frazier was arraigned before Justice
T. Ell. Cumming Monday and was COM
mitted in the county Jail in default of
$1,000 bail, which was furnished last
night by D. u. Westervelt, of OradeIl.
Frazer is bookkeeper in New York

$4,000 in Sewers
Voted by Fort Lee

Fort Lee is bound to satisfy all de-
mands of the different sections with
ample sewers. At the council meeting
wednesday night there was large
delegation from Coytesville, including
some forty women. In speaking of the
delegation, councilman said: "My !!
but Coytesville came down upon the
council fold like thousand of brick.
And before they went home they got
what they wanted. Did 1 say noisy?
Well yes, they were all of that, and
very positive as well. Get what they
wanted? Betcher life. The council
promptly voted them a trunk sewer to
cost 100000. All right? Certainly.
Anything CoyteSville wants she gets.
And say, the east side of town got in a
lick on us, also. Central road gets a
new sewer to cost $4,000 Anything
else? Well, amt that enough for one
evening? I should say yes-and I'll
say it. Outside of that, Fort Lee is
progressing as she never has. Build
ing going on everywhere-even in
Palisade. And we amt issent got
enough houses yet. Taxes? Aw, say,
that is another question. Haven't
time to answer that now. But we are
getting there all right with both feet"

Justice Moore Jails
Auto Offenders

Max Roscelle and three compan-
ions Harry Springer, George Dust and
Otto Singler, all of New York City,
were coming east on Palisade street
in their auto Tuesday morning, and
when near the haywood garage the
auto ahead of them stopped suddenly.
In order to avoid an accident Ro-
scelle gave his car sudden turn to
the left, landing up against a steel
fence, breaking it down and knocking
over a gasoline pump. The four oc-
cupants were thrown out receiving
more or less painful bruises.
Traffic Officer Peter j. Siccardi,
arrested the four men and took them
before Justice James D. Moore. Ros-
celle was fined $25 and committed to
Jail on charge of assault and bat
terry on his companions; the other
three were also held as material wit
nesses.
The car is badly damaged.-Record-

CARD OF THANKS.

We desire to return our sincere
thanks to the kind neighbors who
came to the aid of our daughter, the
late Mrs. Arthur Willmann, of Palisade,
when she was stricken last week with
the illness that finally took her from
us. These include Mrs. Borgestede,
Mrs Bebenroth, and others. These
evidences of human sympathy go far
to alleviate the agonizing bereavement
we suffered and our hearts go out to
all who in any way gave expression to
their mingled grief with ours. Respect
fully,
MRS. AND MIR. LOUIS HOEBEL,
Fort Lee.
