HUNGARIANS WILL PLAY
WEEK-NIGHT CONTESTS

Sunday night entertainments, the
Hungarian Catholic Club basketball
team, of this city, did not play their

a good clip to date and it Is ex-
pected that a week night will be
picked by the Cortlandt street bas-
keteers for home games. The night
to be chosen by the locals will be
announced at a later date. So far
this season the South Amboy Light
nings and st. Anthony Club, of this

weathering the r~ib-roasting dealt out
by the light heavyweight titleholder.
The change of weight for his mid
%dleweight and light heavyweight
contests has spoiled the Pittsburgh
favorite, for he was a changed boxer
last night, minus his usual dash.
Referee Magnolia warned Greb
early in the fight and it is believed
this had something to do with the
absence of rough tactics.

Jimmy Smith
Three times winner In all events OF
the American Bowling Congress, a
record which no other bowler has
ever approached. Famed for his
ability to control a curved all.
NV method is to take your fast
steps, starting with the right foot
and ending with the left when the
ball leaves my hand. The bowler
should always start the same dis
lance from the foul line; in this
manner he will have accuracy in de-
livering the ball.
I'm answering the same question
FOR an article earlier in this series,
he said. Take five steps. Walk

smith follow different styles. 1t is
important to notice, however. that
both agree on these three points:

ways start in the same place and
take the same number of steps.

When Italy became q member of

pute, likely to lead to rupture" to
submit the matter to inquiry by the
council Of the League or to arbitra-
ton.
Is italy prepared to 60 back on

ment Of Corfu was In fact an act of
war. yet she 10 pledged to the
League: sin no case to resort to war
until three months after the award
by the arbitrator or the report by

It would seem that Italy has little
regard for the League; that Musso-
lini has only contempt for the pow

does it appear anywhere that she
would feel differently were the
United States a member of that
League.

WHY THE CHANGE, GOVERNOR

Our readers will recall Governor
Bakers recent allusion to secret
organi atoms in this State in which
he expressed the conviction that
nothing is to be feared from them.
The only inference from this appears
to be that they are alike harmless;
those which have a membership, the
names of which they are proud to
make public, that appear in public
without the concealment of dis
guise, that evidently take pride in
publicly proclaiming their allegiance,
pose Of antagonism to others, and
those that do resort to concealment
OF face and name. that work in the
dark under concealment of identity.
In connection with this public
statement Governor Baxter took &C.
casion to make 1t known that he is
not a member of any secret order.
One might infer as much from his
attitude. Evidently he did not COM
prehend the indignation which some
members of secret fraternities would
naturally feel at being classed with
secret organizations like the Ku
Klux. Evidently, too, he has changed
his opinion of the latter organiza-
tion in the past few months. Then
he declared his opinion to be- that
"the whole movement is unwhole-
some and un-American." 1t would
seem to hO8ncumbent on him to in
form the public as to what has in
duced this change Of mind.

CITY

II you are q city smoker do you
know how to smoke in the country
Do you realize that while it Is safe
to throw down on the hard pavement
a lighted match or burning roll of
tobacco it Is absolutely unsafe to do
this in the country.
There the dry grass, the pine
needles lie all about, finder for the
spark, and through which, once
lighted, the flames spread with in
credible speed.
To ignite that inflammable ma
terial is a criminal act, whether
carelessly or maliciously done.
There have been farm buildings
swept out of existence with all con-
tents, including live stock. the cause
of which probably was the careless
act of a smoker from among our
summer visitors.
Rightly, Names welcome to the
summer visitor should be genuine,
but welcome to that sort of a sum-
mer visitor cannot well be.
we have in mind a fine set OF
buildings swept out of existence
within an hour recently. The cause
is unknown, but is thought by many
to have been a carelessly thrown
match or burning cigarette or cigar
A path from summer cottages
leads inst mast the end of what was
the barn. The inference is plain.
Those people have lost much of the
fruits of their life labor and are
homeless. presumably because some
trifing person in a nit-wit mood was
careless of fire.

SOMEBODY BEING MADE THE
GOAT

The miners, the operators and the
public doubtless expect the anthra-
cite strike eventually to be settled.
Then why not settle it without
striking? Are the parties implicated
SO dull they may not approximately
estimate what the strike will ac-
complish and anticipate it? To do so
would not halt production, would
not deny the wage worker his wage,
would not cause the thousand and
one ills from which a real strike is
bound to be found inseparable.
Is 1t necessary for the labor leader
to have a strike once in a while in
order to maintain his authority?
Then his leadership is on an inse-
cure and menacing basis and the
wage workers along with the rest of
the public are being made the goat.
There Is no disputing the fact some
body is being made the goat.
