School League Game.

After seeing the Simpson NJ. T..
class A" basketball team in action
last night at the Y. NJ. c. A. there
could be little doubt in the minds
of spectators that this com bination
would again romp away with the
senior title in this years Sunday
School Basketball League. The
Methodists defeated the strongest
team in the league-St. Peter's-in
a hard-fought game, but their clock
work team play could be see at all
times. The final score in this game
was 26-15. "Jimmer'' Wight and
"Blackie" Regain were in the St
Peters lineup during the entire
game, Bill Vincent also playing the
first half. The Methodists had their
regular lineup, with the addition OF
Pete" Hansen instead OF Gene
Parker. Smith led the Methodists
in scoring with four field goals while
Wight scored three double pointers
for the Episcopalians.
The Baptists were scheduled to
play the Methodists and the st. Pc

have met. Neither the Baptist nor

CHEAPER
BOXING PRICES
Chairman Smith Expects to
Advocate a General Re-
duction in the Entire Game

TRENTON. Jan. s. John S.
Smith, chairman, of the New Jersey
Boxing Commission. expects to adj
vocate a general reduction in both
the price of seats and the size of
purses prevailing in professional
boxing circles, when he attended h
sessions of the United Boxing Com
missions to be held at the National
Sportsmen's Club, In New York city.
starting next Monday and continu-
ing Tuesday and Wednesday. Rep
resentatives from eighteen state box
ing commissions will be In attend
ance, according to advance an
n-ouncements.
It is the view of Mr.. Smith that
the costliest seats should be reduced
to the prices prevailing at football
and baseball games. In other words
he will probably advocate that 50
be recommended as the highest
price to be charged for the best
places at the ringside, instead of IS.
which prevails now in many clubs.
Purses demanded now by the
fighters are high and a suggestion
for action favoring a reduction In
this direction in keeping with the
popularizing of the admission fees
will be urged.
Chairman Smith also wants a
standard physical examination for
all states and clubs fixed, so that
uniformity will prevail in the exam
nation of fighters before they enter
the ring. He also believes that 1t
should particularly specify a blood
pressure test, which Is now said to
be eliminated in certain quarters.
Two other things which will be
suggested will be measures to pro-
vide hat when a fighter is barred In
n state for an offense he shall be
barred in all commemorative which
recognize professional boxing. and
that champions shall be compelled
to defend their titles within a reas-
enable time. William H. TRULY. Sec
rotary of the New Jersey Commits
ZION, will also attend the sessions.

DRY DOCK FIVE
BADLY BEATEN
T. A. C. Shows Great Speed
in 47-19 Victory at Parish
House Last Night.

Charley Hilker's Tottenyille bas-
ketball team handed a drubbing to
the Dry Dock team of this city on
the Parish House court, Rector
street last night, in registering their
third consecutive victory of the sea-
son. The final score of the game
was 47-19. The Amboy combina-
ton was far off regular form, and
this coupled with the ability OF
Preacher and Soige to drop h ball
in from all angles, was responsible
for the big score run up by the Tot
tenville players.
The visiting team got the jump on
the home combination early in the
contest, and the first half ended
1916. In the second session the
visitors again started to score at
will, while the home team found 1t
impossible to pass the Tottenville
score at the end of the first session.
Preacher, high score nan for Tot
~tenville, alone defeated the Dry
Docks in points scored. Brown
miller and Kurowsky led the nome
team in high score.
The Dry Dock basketball team
will travel to Long Branch tonight
where they will meet the strong
Oakwoods of that place. A victory
over this combination will enable
Manager Wilson to book many big
games at that place. The trip to
Long Branch will be made by bus,
and any fans desiring to make the
trip are requested to meet at the
corner of Madison avenue n
Smith street about Z o'clock.

MOTORISTS FAIL TO
 OBSERVE DINNER
 LAWS, STATES DAVIS

Charles G. Davis. president of the Birmingham Automobile club, in am swer to many complaints being re- ceived daily at the club headqua rters in the Tutwiler hotel resulting from the failure to observe the "dimmer'' law, especially on the part of those who have diffused lenses, Saturday night issued the following statement,
 There has been considerable com> ment in the daily press and in public discussions regarding the failure of automobiiists to use the dinners From drivers standpoint. riding be> hind the bright lights as we'll as the dinners. it has been noticed py me that the driver of the car with th~ bright headlight will dim his bright light, but the driver with the patenteN or so-called diffused lense car does not deem it necessary to show tn. same courtesy.
 This failure freNuently results in irritating the one who does take the trouble to dim his lights and he will endeavor to retaliate by switching on his full light. It is always best to be on the safe side, and for that reason it is respectfully suggested that all dim their lights, so there be no ex- eeption, and it is hoped that this will be done whether the car is equipped with a so-called patented or diffused Tense or not''

A plan which seems to meet with pop ular favor is the erection of great stone arch upon which will be placed l life-sized bronze statue of General Cor gas, this to be placed at the entrance to the university from the city and near the old Gorgas home on the campus. Other suggestions have been that the memorial be in the form of a monument. tablet or hospital for research.
 The old home of before-the-war days IS still intact and is occupied by mem bers of the General Gorgas' family. At the time when the residence was built. Josiah Gorgas, the generals father. was president of the university, and at pres. ent one of his sisters, Miss Mamie Cor gas IS librarian at that institution.
 General Gorgas was often quoted as saying with kindly light in his eye that as soon as yellow fever had been conqucsed he would come to the old cap ltal clty where he would spend his de clining days.
 Tuscaloosa folk believe that this city IS the proper place to erect memorial IF keeping with this great mans life ooth Tn sentiment and the fact that it is the home of A1abama's institution of iediHiHS, the state university.
 1t is expected that the memorial will cost over hundred thousand dollars, and that every person in Alabama may nave part in building it. thus honor ing our countryman to whose memory even far off Panama has already estao- hshed the Gorgas Memorial institute and with the aid of Argentina and organiza- tons in North and South America is planning to add to this laboratory open to the physicins of the world
 This is their manner of honoring one who first succeeded in conquering the yellow fever menace in this country, be- ginning with Memphis and New Orleans; then Spain and Panama and other coun tries where he was the first to succeed III whipping the tropical pestilence. Be- cause or the years of research sacrifice and continual risk of his own life, Gen. eral Gorgas has enabled entire nations in the tropics to compete with na- tons in the temperate zone, both i,, industry and healthfuness.
 As soon as pr. Lang completes the preliminary work and the committee has formulated satisfactory plans, the mat ter of a state memorial to General Cor gas will be put before the people of Ala bama.

LABOR PEACE IN
 BRITAIN NEARER
All Labor Quarters Still ExCit- edIy Discussing Action of Rail
 and Transport Workers
Bx Associatcd Press

London, April 1s,--Although still con fronted with the strike in the coal mines and the possibility that work in the pits will not be resumed for several days. at least England faced this week. end somewhat more hopefully than it did the last when it was threatened with sympathetic strikes by the two other way men and transport workers
 All labor quarters tonight were still excitedly discussing yesterdays action by the railway men and transport workers in calling off their strikes and the effect of this move on the future interests of labor The best hope for an early solution of the crisis is held to lie in the new attitude for an indepen- dent investigation shown by large section of the House of Commons It is |even supposed in some quarters that it was the sympathy which these members displayed on Thursday while listening to Frank Hodges, the miners federation secretary, which led him to go further than he originally intended in the direc- tion of a compromise and so brought him into conflict with the miners.
 In view of the possibility of a pro- tracted stoppage of mining operations the board of trade, in line with the other precautions which have been talk en by government agencies tonight is- sued injunctions for drastic enforce ment of the regulations governing the use of coal, light and power Local authorities are empowered to cut the supplies if any sign of waste appears and are asked to urge the public to exercise the utmost individual economy
 No further move by the miners is ex- pected before the conference in London next Friday when representatives or miners throughout the country will dis CESS what shall be done.
