City Voley Ball League
With IS Teams Entered
AOW Is Being Planned

Plans are now being formulated
by Physical Director S. c. Pew of
the ". NJ. C. A. for a new yolley. ball
league to be known as a 'City
League" This will be the first time
a circuit OF this kind has been at
tempted and the plan In to start the
city league in order that interest in
the game might be increased and the
players given an opportunity to play
moro often.
1t is the belief of Physical Direc-
tor Pew and other members of the
Y. NJ. c. A. physical committee that
as many as fifteen or sixteen teams,
of about equal strength, can be en-
tered in this league, making it such
that no team will have a runaway.
The members of the "Y" varsity and
second team will be SO divided that
in most cases only one will appear
on the same team For instance,
Sharp will play with the Presby-
terians who plan to enter a team,
Dover will be with the Standard I'm
foreground Cable Works. Frantic
with the A. S. & r., Peakes with
the Bakelite. Miller with the bank
ers, and johnson with the press
team.
1t is understood that each of the
eight factories now having repre-
sentative teams in the industrial
volley ball league will enter the
same combinations In this city
league. The Presbyterian team,
leaders in the Sunday School Athle-
tic League, has already announced
it's intention Of entering a team.
Possibly the Simpson NJ. f. church
will do likewise although several of
its regulars play with the factory
league teams. The lawyers will have
no trouble in getting a team togeth-
er and the real estate and insurance
meAof the city are already forming
a representative team. There will
he a bankers team consisting of

players employed at the various
banks. The merchants are expected
to put In a team as r the profess
sional men. The architects and sur
veyors will likely combine to form
one team while the local newspaper
men have already gotten together a
representative press team. In all
probabilities there will also be en-
tered a "Y" team composed of those
who do not come under the various
headings mentioned above.
1t is possible that other combina-
tions not mentioned here will be
formed, but practically every fac
tory player and member of the Y.
NJ. C. A. business mems classes is
included in the teams which have
been outlined thus far.
The present outlook is that no n
team W. be of such strength that
other teams will be outclassed. The
committee in charge of this league,
realizing that the interest taken in it
will depend upon the teams being
evenly matched, will endeavor to
have the players s. distributed as to
give every entry the same chance of
proving itself the city champion.
Although the first games will not
be started in this circuit until the
end of next month or possibly early
In March it is the desire of Physical
Director Pew that the teams organ
ize at once in order that it may be
known just who the players in the
league will be. As the Sunday
School League games will come to
an end shortly as will the industrial
volley ball league, the city league
games can'be played on Tuesday and
Friday nights of each week and
there is a possibility of some Sat
urday nights being devoted to the
city league games as well. Every
one will be given a chance to play
in this tournament and 1t is expec-
ted to. be the most popular event
of its kind ever staged here.

THE NORTHERN BAPTIST CON.
VEN1TON AT INDIANAPOLIS.

The Baptist clans gathered in great
numbers from all parts of the northern
States last week and spent five days con-
sidering the interests of the many sided
missionary and benevolent enterprises
supported by the more than 1000
churches of the convention.
All are happy over-the fact that
the best of feeling prevailed throughout
the sessions, which were attended by
over 1000 delegates and visitors.
The sensational press of the country,
secular and religious, predicted intense
bitterness ending in split denomin a.
ton over doctrinal questions. Plain
words were spoken and with intense
earnestness against certain extra liberal
tendencies in the teaching of some OF the
Baptist Colleges, but always in Chris.

THE WEATHER. The weather of the.
past few weeks has broken all records for
June, some people say, for at least fifty
years. June Gath was the first pleasant
Saturday for four weeks. 1t was also
the first pleasant day in a full week and
then it did not bring June sunshine. The
storm Wednesday night and early Thurs
day morning did a vast amount of dam
age in this city, especially to the roads.
A member of the street committee, after
investigating Thursday morning, esti-
mated the damage at 5000 or over.
Four roads leading into the city were
closed until repairs could be made, but
none of the city's bridges were destroyed.
At Little River on the Belfast end the
abutment was started about foot, the
base rock yielding to the weight OF water.
This is easy to repair. It will take $4OO
or more to repair the washout on the hill
just beyond Dog Island bridge, but that
structure stood the test. Two sections
of the road in North Belfast were closed
and that near the red bridge, so called, is
a bad proposition. The section OF Bridge
street, between Church and High streets
was discontinued as it was quilted out
two feet or more its entire length. Allyn
street from Northport avenue to the
to place it where it was Wednesday, last.
Commercial street was undergoing re-
surfacing with crushed rock and it was
gullied off from Bay View street on both
sides by ditch several feet t-deep. Wa
ter rushed down Spring street from Ce-
dar and did considerable damage at the
Office building of Ralph L. Cooper. The
earth was washed away from the cement
wall exposing rock weighing 43 pounds,
which was dislodged and carried to the X.
r. tracks in the rear of the building Ihe
cellars in this section of the city were
flooded. At the Farmers Union some OF
the goods in the storehouse were dam
aged. The sioes of the new State road
on Searsport avenue were somewhat
damaged. The little bridge on this road
at the Lindsay farm was carried out.
Minor damages were reported along the
entire water front. Northport roads
were badly damaged and it is estimated
that it will take two weeks to repair some
of their outlying roads. To date only
three really pleasant days are to be re-
corded in the storm period-Saturday.
Monday and Tuesday.
