Two Scheduled Games and One Post poned Contest to Be Played at Willow Brook.

Two regularly scheduled games and one posponed affair will be played by the Inter-Church league teams at Willow Brook park this evening.

The St. Matthew's Ger man Lutherans. knocked out of first place last Friday, tackle the Every mans Bible class and will have to win if they are to retain even des- pairing hope of capturing the title. The Bible class has been coming to the front in its late games and will make the St. Mats step. so that the game should be a close one. It will be played on the "grass diamond"
 Two deadly rivals will meet on Diamond No. 2. where the Center and South Congregational churches clash. On performance the South church has 8 big margin on It's op- ponents. but when the teams met before the Center church won its only game of the season. It always works its best against the South church. so it Is figured no set-up this evening and the South church. battling for third place. will play hard.
 The Trinity Methodists were scheduled to meet Kensington on Diamond No. 1, but they will add one to the number of victories and let it go at that. The Swedish Beth any church has been secured to play the Methodists instead of the defunct suburbanites. This game was rained out on May g. the opening night of the season, and will be played off now, The teams are well matched and a winner is impossible to pre- dict

 In the sixth inning the Phan- toms went on a batting rampage which, coupled with cratic fielding by the Burritts, brought in nine runs. During this melee, 12 Phan- toms went to bat.
 Mangan, Pelewa and Fisk played we'll for the Burritts. The feature of the game was a fine running catch of a long foul off Lipski's bat by Buchos. The summary:

City call for a special police force Of
230 men and 25 officers. all under the
command Of Cornelius r. Cahalane,
formerly deputy police commissioner
of New York City. This force will
be called upon to regulate the traffic,
see that no Jams occur, and its MEM
bers must be able to know what to
do in emergencies.
Present plans call for the opening
of the tunnel October IL, the seventh
anniversary of beginning of the work.
However, if it should be completed
before that date. no unnecessary de-
lay in opening the tunnel will be al.
lowed, according to commissioners of
the tube.
Offices of the tube commission were
transferred recently from the Wool

emergency apparatus, together with
quarters fer the police force, the com
missioners. the physician and the en-
gineers. a similar structure will be
completed in Jersey City, and the
attaches then will be divided between
the two structures.
Chief Cahalane now is organizing
the police force.
Many applications for appointment
to this little police force already have
been received and blanks have been
supplied to the applicants. who will
be required TO answer satisfactorily
the numerous questions the blanks
contain. No question that the human
mind can conceive Of has been
omitted. Besides asking all about the
ancestors Of the applicants, the
blanks want TO know all about their
physical. social and moral condition,
their past, what their forefathers died
of and when, If the applicant has ever
been arrested and what for. and what
happened to him afterward. 1t was
suggested that the commissions are
seeking 100 per cent perfect men to
serve rs cops in the tunnel for eight
hours a day at a wage Of s2.200 a
year.
Each year since the tunnel has been
under construction there has been a
steady increase in travel In the areas
around it on both sides of the Hudson.

Critical Driver
Urged to Rectify
Own Faults First

Motorists have a tendency to
pay more attention to the faults
of other drivers than to the cor
rection of the mistakes they them
selves make in the manipulation of
their cars.
Because they often expend more
energy in varbally chastising their
motoring colleagues than they do
in learning to minimize their own
errors. such drivers constitute an
ever-present menace, for they
simply never learn.
This is the comment made by
Rudolph Jose, veteran of more
than a quarter century in Wash
ington automobile circles, regard
ing q type of driver he declares is
being seen in gradually increasing
numbers on the streets of the
National Capital.
After the motorist has corrected
all his own faults. and is absolutely
certain that he is driving 100 per
cent perfectly. then. and then only,
can he feel himself to have any
moral right to give d. street cor
ner lecture to his brother behind
the wheel" Mr.. Jose points out.

several weeks for construction work

Heretofore there have been sections

sought to approach the charms of

over a portion that was poor at all
times, but an impossible morass in
rainy weather, and over another
stretch that was narrow, rough and
Jagged.
