LOCAL QUINTET
HAS PRACTICE
~Speedways Prepare for Open.
ing Game With Danbury
Separate Five

Manager Wesley Wilson's st. Mary
Speedway basketball team held its
initial practice on the Fayette and
Mechanic streets court last night in
preparation for their opening tussle
Of the season with the strong DAN
bury Separates of New York City on
the st. Mary lyceum court next
Wednesday night.
Local fans are well aware of the
Danbury's strength, as this combina-
ton put up three stellar exhibitions
on the Auditorium court the past
two seasons. This team is known for
its sensational S ooting and passing,
and it is necessary for their opposi-
ton to keep the ball going all the
time in order to remain in the rum
ming with the Separates.
Passing and shooting occupied the
better part of a two-hour workout
last night, and Eddie Schelling and
Sam Denberg of Newark, Harry
Davis of New York City, and Freddy
Gicchau, Charley Brownmiller and
Bob Handerhan were in attendance
Handerhan will not be able to start
the season on account of a recent
operation for appendicitis.
The baskets were placed in the
hall for the first time yesterday af-
ternoon, and Rev. Father John e.
Larkin of st. Mary's church, the ath-
letic director of the parish, is CO.
operating with Manager Wilson in
every way to make the first basket
ball season at the lyceum a success
full one.
The st. Mary Speedways will play
at home every Wednesday night.

1t fell upon the shoulders of Casey
Stengel, n of the Oldest men par-
ticipating in this years worlds
series, to land the kayo punch for
the McGraw clan victory of yester-
day afternoon. AS a result of his
ninth inning home run yesterday
fans are wondering what the great
old Casey" is going to do in the re-
naming games of this years classic.
With the score A and two down
in the first half of the ninth inning
Stengel clouted a long n to left
field for a home run, giving the
Giants their fifth and winning run
Previous to this appearance at he
plate the veteran centerfielder had
made a single and fielded his posi-
ton in faultless style. The count
on him at the time the circuit clout
was smacked was three and two.
Stengel, a star with the Pirates
many seasons ago, came to the Nc
Graw clan three years ago. He was
practically an outcast as far as the
major leagues were concerned, and
the Little Napoleon placed him on
the Giants roster principally because
of his baseball record.
Then came the time when Stengel
was called upon in a pinch. His
batting and fielding created quite a
sensation and he was assured of a
regular berth, being taken out of
the game generally when opposed by
a southpaw hurler. He is az left
handed batter and fielder.
The veteran gained his first league
experience with the Kansas City
team of the American Association
back In 1910 and he made a brilliant
record in the National league before
coming to the McGraw camp.
1t is probable that he will start in

Gently, leads many to think that the
pigskinners from the State street in
stitution will have an easy time in
overcoming the South River grid
ders. The county seaters are re-
ported as having a much better team
than the South River school. owing
to the fact that a good number OF
l%atter's team graduated last year,
while the showing made by the South
River footballers against Asbury
Park over last weekend warrants
an interesting game on Friday.
All members of the local squad
are requested out today for the final
workout. 1t is probable that the
lineup to start in tomorrow's game
will be announced at this time by
Coach Stauffer.

On the fourth down, with two
yards to go, under what condition
should the ball be punted? When
carried?
Answered by
GILMOUR DOBIE
Coach of football, Cornell Univer-
sity. His teams indicated for past
two years. Coach, University of
Washington, 190S-1916, DURING
which nine years his teams were
never defeated. Coach of Navy, 1917.
10.
In close games, or when the op-
position is spasmodically stubborn,
it is well to kick on the fourth down
with but two yards to gain when
ever the ball is anywhere outside
the opponents forty-yard line. In
football every play is somewhat of
a gamble. The opponents may stop
only one play in ten short of the
two-yard gain and that one play may
come just when two yards are need
ed for a fourth down.
The ball should be carried when
inside the opponents 35 or 40-yard
line. The remaining distance to the
goal line, when inside the opponents
35 or 40-yard line is too short to
permit a punt being used to advan-
tage. 1t will usually roll over the
goal line and the defense thus re-
ceive the ball for first down on the
20-yard line. The offense might
better take the chance of making
first down when in this position, and
if they fail, surrender the ball.
