activity Saturday, the real night before the Fourth, got in their best licks Sunday night, starting out with their campaigns soon after 10 o'clock, and continued to operate during the early hours of Monday morning. Heroic as were the efforts of some small groups to start something. the sup posed noisy welcome was as a whisper to what used to be staged as a greeting to Independence day in years that are gone by. There was no real pep Sunday night and before many minutes after midnight the ''boys" began to drift toward home. Night before celebrations have become almost thoroughly emasculated in Daniel son. There are many reasons for this, but chief one Is that a great war has only recently been concluded and the real enthusiasm stirred up by the arnistice celebrations cannot be aroused over what has become almost a perfunctory obsery ance.
 Chief John Mcfarland had special off cers on duty Sunday night These men weer stationel in the Franklin and Dyer street sections and in the vicinity of Davis park. They did much, with regu- lar officers, to hold in check the ambition of anyone to start a real noise campaign. within the borough limits. Incidentally, those who felt that they just had to cut loose and didn't care to get into difficult ties because of their desire for some fun slipped across the bridge and over to the West Side, in the town of Brooklyn. where officers were not so plentiful. It ] was noisy in that section between mid night and 2 a. m. Monday morning, but the borough itself was almost peaceful. The usual stunts of hauling wagons about and leaving them at other places then where they were found, cleaning off torches and distributing the furniture on l1wnsalong different streets and other time-honoFed escapades were included in the nights work of the celebrators, but ihe whole show was extraordinarily tame a9mpared to what used to be thought Hecessary in times before the eight-hour
 lay came into vogue and the nighthawks were willing to work Is hours if neces- sary to carry out elaborate programs Of turning the town inside put. Goodyear trouneed the American Wool en company team from Webster to 1 in a game played at Goodyear on the i Fourth. Aside from the first two in- hings, when a sharp shower blew up and temporarily held up the pastime, the con-
 test was fast and we'll played. Goodyear got away to a good start, jumping out | with what proved to be a winning lead in
 the first two innings of contest, and 1 the visitors never could est by the early 1 handicap set up against them. There is a surprising amount of curi-
 osty in Danielson over the coming of the fresh aid kiddies, who are scheduled to
