Car Turns Turtle, and Grantwood
Driver Escapes With Sprained Ankle

William w. Schultz of Columbia
avenue, Grantwood, can consider him.
self fortunate in escaping with his
life on Sunday last, in peculiar
/ utomobile accident in which his ma
chine skidded for about forty feet
and turned complete somersault on
Palisade avenue, Grantwood, landing
on it's roof. Mr.. Schultz cannot ex-
plain how or what caused his ma
chine to skid and turn turtle. His
only injury was sprained ankle.
81 was on my way home yesterday
afternoon he said, when after turn
ing the sharp curve at the High
School, l righted the wheels of the
car and had been on a straightaway
for more than 200 feet, when all of
sudden I felt the machine start
skidding. Before l could bring it to
stop it had turned completely
around and toppled over on the roof.
"The strange part of the turning
of the machine is that it turned to
the left, whereas after rounding the
turn the tendency for skidding would
be to the right. 1 had completed the
left turn"
There were quite number of peo-
pie on the street and many rushed
to the overturned machine, expecting
to find the occupant either killed or
seriously injured. Schultz pushed
open the door of the car and crawled
out. He said his ankle panied him.
An examination by a physician re-
suited in only the sprained ankle
being his suffering from the accident.
More surprising than Schultz not
being injured was that fact that al
though the machine was turned over
on the side and then on the roof,
not one pane of glass was broken.

"Kempy" Presented
In Creditable Form
By Local Players

True to their reputation for prompt
ness, which the Community Players
have gained, the curtain rose exactly
at $40 last Friday evening, in Car
ney Hall. 1t is to be hoped that
the patrons will awaken to this fact
and not curtail their enjoyment here
after by late arrival.
A very appreciative audience of
residents from New York City as well
as Palisade and Cliffside Park was
present and frequent laughter dem
onstrated that the bright lines and
humorous situations made a hit.
One or two might have better mem.
orized their lines, but the perform
ance as whole was very creditable
and provided a delightful evening.
"Kempy" was the name of the play
and "Kempy' was the leading spirit
of the play. Mr.. Allan Carson, for
merly of Palisade, in this role made
his first appearance dramatically
speaking before old and new friends
and he certainly made a complete
success of his part. He was spirited
ly supported by Miss Eleanor Pen
nell who has made other successful
appearances and by Mr.. l.. J. But
olph, who acted well his part in this
his debut.
The other members of the cast also
did we'll, Miss Dorothy Schall one
of the newer and younger members
meriting special mention.
The play was produced under the
direction OF Mrs. ]. C. Vosburgh, an(
the scenery and lighting effects by
Mr.. Warren Sammis, Jr.

A victory parade was staged by the
Marini supporters on last Saturday
night and those who did not see ii
at least heard it.
About eighty cars, led by calliope,
got under way at the high school
grounds at s o'clock, and went through
every street in the borough, the en-
thusiastic paraders blowing horns,
footing whistles and yelling to the top
of their voices. Practically every ma
chine had fireworks, torches and
horns, the noise and din being heard
in the neighboring boroughs. In the
line of machines were floats of every
description, some with the defeated
candidates in effigy.
The Marini Boosters will hold a
Victory Dinner and dance at the
Antlers in Harworth on December 8.
Details will be announced in subse-
Quent issua.

Bergen Last Again

Again did Bergen County live ur
to it's reputation of being the last
county in the state to bring in its
election returns, the last Of them get
ting into Hackensack but late on
Thursday. The fault lies not with the
County Clerk or the County Board of
Elections, but with the District
Boards. Many of the Boards failed
to report and some to even count
the referendum vote on the Register
ship proposition, adding considerably
to the work of announcing the final
and accurate result of the vote in the

]. w. Binder, Executive Secretary
of the Mackay Hudson River Bridge
Association, was the principal speak
er at the luncheon-meeting of the
Real Estate Board of the Palisades
held at the Park Inn in Hudson
Heights on Wednesday last.
He stated that he had seen the bor-
ings recently made by the Port of
New York Authority Engineers and
said he was violating no confidence
when he said that the borings prove
that it is possible to build a bridge
at the proposed point, i.e., from 17Sth
street in New York City to Fort Lee,
N. j. Mr.. Binder said that the bor-
ings on the New York side showed
steel blue granite rock to a depth
of "a feet and the same rock on the
New Jersey side to a depth of ap-
proximately II feet. This he said
was bed rock and sufficient evidence
that the site was suitable for a bridge.
He told of the plans now under
way to form two large associations,
one to be known as the Interstate
Hudson River Bridge Association of
New Jersey, for which the present
Mackay Hudson River Bridge Asso-
citation will form the nucleus, and the
Interstate Hudson River Bridge AS
sociation of New York. These two
organizations will be composed of
hrid 80
the river and will be governed by
an Executive Committee of 20 men,
10 from the New York Association
and 10 from the New Jersey Associ-
alton, with various committees COM
prised of members from both bodies.
The Associations will have two kinds
of members, organization members
and popular members. The first in
cluding Chambers of Commerce,
Boards of Trade, etc.. and the latter,
individuals. 1t will be the purpose
of these two bodies to see the bridge
project through to a successful fin
ish.
The speaker told of his connection
with the proposed tunnel at 125th
street a number of years ago and
traced the history of the Hudson Riv-
er Bridge movement to date. He ex-
planned what the port of New York
Authority really was, what it does
and many other highly interesting
things.
Mr.. Binder stressed with great en-
phasis the necessity of continuing the
work that the Mackay Hudson River
Bridge Association has started out
to do and the need of constant ef-
fort to pass the legislation on which
the start of the construction work
depends, namely, the appropriation
of 100000 by both New York and
New Jersey which is to be repaid
with tolls and for the present will
be used as working capital by the
Port Authority.
Nv BINDERS address was one of
the most interesting on the subject
of the proposed Fort Washington-For
Lee Bridge that has yet been made
and prolonged applause followed his
talk.
In a statement made early in the
week, Senator William B. Mackay,
who was reelected at the recent cleo
tion, declared that he was only await
ing the printed report of the Port
Authority before drafting further nee
essary legislation in connection with
the building of the proposed Hudson
River Bridge. Throughout the coun-
ty Senator Mackay is already being
groomed as the next Republican can
didate for Governor. 1t is stated that
he was to have been the candidate
three years ago, but was at the time
urged to withdraw his candidacy in
favor of Runyon, who met defeat at
the hands of Silzer.

Shortly following the election,

cation would wage hot fight for
him. Assemblyman Clifford R. Pow
ell, Speaker of the last Legislature
is also a candidate for this office.

CAMBRIDGE TEAM
HAS new LEADER
Billy Lush, Former Umpire And
Big Lacquer, New Pilot
For Gamers.

Umpire Billy Lush has been chosen
manager of the Cambridge Baseball
Club, to succeed Ted Smith, whose
resignation as pilot became effective
Wednesday night of last week. The
announcement was made after Smith
had refused to reconsider his resigna-
ton and refused to return to the lead
ship Of the Gamers.
The newly appointed pilot is an ex-
major Lacquer. He was baseball coach
at Yale several years ago and recent
ly was an athletic coach at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, later going
across College avenue to assume the
responsibilities of athletic director of
St. Johns College, in the Maryland
capital.
Last year Lush was an umpire in
the Canadian League, and joined
Presidents ReW's staff of arbiters
three weeks ago. He is widely known
in collegiate athletic circles in the east
and south.
Reports as to the issue at stake
which caused Ted Smiths resignation
from the Cambridge management pre-
sent widely divergent views. One ru-
NOR said he was fined $3.50 by Presi-
dent w. Brice ,Goldsborough for fail
ure to obey orders of the club direct
ors. Another report indicates the
controversy arose over the assignment
of Pitcher John Trippe to do the
mound work on Tuesday, when the
Gamers were severely trounced. Con-
firmation or denial of either report
has not been made.
Many close followers of the six
clubs in the Shore League during the
present season attribute great part
of the Gamers success in thus far
maintaining a lead of the group to
tile ability of Manager Smith. He was
Of the McGraw type of manager who
expected each player to "produce."

Reports have it that Jack Dempsey
has signed up to meet the negro,
Wills. This action seems to have pre-
cipitated another battle. Dempsey
says he will manage his own affairs,
and further declares he will not fight
in New York state. kearns, who says
he is Dempsey's manager according
to contract, is sure he will have a
say as to the champions goings and
comings; and Tex Rickard is equally
sure that the place for the mill will be
settled after his opinions have been
aired.
Many are of the opinion that Demp-
sey is through with the fight game
They have reached this conclusion be-
cause of lack of interest he shows
in his training; he has never shown
such listlessness, and were it not that
possibly his exchequer needs building
up, the ring would never see the
champion again. If all this be true,
Dempsey is going to be easy fruit for
some young fellow, and Greb or Tun-
ney will likely be the young fellows,
if Wills does not settle the question
before Dempsey can meet the white
men.
