Six-day bicycle races present a

River Vale Skeeters of the Eastern
Amateur Hockey League made 1t
two straight over the Washington
Eagles tonight by count OF 6-l,
preventing the Eagles from tying
the New York Rovers for the league
lead.
A strong start on the part of the

chances look slim for the skeeters,
but the home forces came from be-

invaders.
Eight minutes in penalties were
inflicted by Referee Chadwick with

for roughing and slashing. After the
belligerent start the teams settled
down to straight hockey.
River Wales ace line took scoring
honors. Squee Allen notched two

Shert Cut to Prosperity.
Most golfers require compasses to

Winners in seven of eight games

one of the most attractive pro games

Moe Dubilier of the Brewers is

McDermott of the Baltimore Clip
pers and Mike Bloom is sixth, but
the Celtics' Mickey Kupperberg,
Sammy Kaplan, Chick Reiser, Joe
Polcha and Bernie Fliegel are third,
fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth,
respectively.
Dubilier leads Kupperberg and
Kaplan, who are tied for third
place, by 13 points in the individual
competition.
Before the Celtics merged with the
Kingston Colonials, last years
champions, the Brewers had divided
two games with the Colonials and
had won two from the Troy Hay
makers.
Kaplan Opposes Old Mates.
An interesting sidelight Of today's
game will find Ben Kaplan pairing
with Coach Mack Posnack at guard
for the Brewers against the team
which he helped win the title last
year. Kramer was released by the
Celtics after the merger and i'm
mediately signed by the Brewers.
Current statistics show the Brew

Police Attending F. B. l. School of Ins

Mir. simmons charged that propa- ganda is being spread by Commun- ists in the country that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is actually an American version of the Nazi Gestapo, and its members rely on the third degree to bring criminals to their knees.
 DO you know what the Commun- ists cite as an example of the third degree2" asked Mir. Simmons.
 "The fact that the FBI men made an arrest at o'clock in the morn- Ing" he said.
 "What they should have done," the instructor went on, ironically, lis notify the criminal that they were coming. and ask the criminal to set a convenient time. Also to get his tux ready for court appear ance."
 But" Mir. Simmons continued seriously. MT. Hoover (J. Edgar Hoover, FBI chieD has replied to this propaganda by showing that in the past i2 years not one out of 52,00 convictions has been reversed because of the third degree or bru- ] tality."
 Mir. Simmons also spoke on the advance Of policework and the es- teem the policeman is beginning to get in the community.
 Old Time Idea
 Mention of a law enforcement agent at one time was good for laugh, Mfr. Simmons said. "Hc used to be thought Of as guy on the corner pinching bananas from fruit-stand, or getting fat on muni- cipal corruption and graft in gen. eral."
 This is not so, now" the agent asserted mentioning the fact that many collegemen are being attract cd to the police profession and the general higher standards that pre- vail.
 MT. Simmons said that the course will consist of an exchange of ideas and will not be limited to lectures. Those attending will participate ac. lively in the course he said.
 The course will have been suc- cessful," declared MT. Simmons, If each one of you goes out of here with a new idea, or an old idea with q new twist"
 Urging every policeman, particu. larly the young officers and super. numeraries to take advantage of the unusual opportunities offered by the school, Mayor Scully said that the police commissioners and himself are vitally interested in the pro- gram, and feel certain that 1t will be an asset to the police department and the city.
 Chairman Verriker echoed the sentiments express by the Mayor, saying he was highly gratified ct the large turnout. He reminded the DO. licemen that such opportunities did not exist in the past, and they should take advantage of them.
 Superintendent Roach, who intro- duced the speakers, declared that the department is fortunate in hav- ing the FBI men here at no ex- pense. He mentioned that at one time Scotland Yard was consider cd the greatest bureau Of investiga- ton in the world. but the advent of J. Edgar Hoover has changed that opinion.

SeO,OOO Cost
 Mir. Root estimated that the low est cost of the new bridge will be S60,000. This would be for Q bridge of steel construction. Different types would cost considerably more, he said. The io40 budget allots only $50, ,262 for the bridge, but there is another $47,00 in the general bridge bond fund. The S47,000, has been allotted for construction of new bridges on Plank road and Idylwood avenue, but either of both of these projects will probably have to be delayed.
 The present bridge has had to un- dergo major repairs frequently. Last fall 1t was found to be in an espe- cially precarious condition and ex- tensive repairs were made. Alder. man Burton Walker has charged several times since the first of the year that the bridge is still unsafe.
 Signs bearing the name of Super- intendent of Streets Herbert scott- Smith warn that the load limit Of the present bridge is 10 tons. City Engineer Root, however, has stated that far heavier loads can be ac- 
 The i0-ton limit has not been enforced, busses and truck.trailers using the bridge regularly.
 Petition Hinted
 Several weeks ago there was talk of a petition to be circulated call- ing for speedy action toward the erection of the new bridge but no such petition has yet been pre- sented to city officials.
 A lengthy routine must be fol. lowed before actual construction work can be started. The plans must be completed and approved by the works board. Then the city plan commission must give its ap- proval both to the plans and to the expenditure of the funds for con- struction. A period must be allowed for the advertising and filing of bids, Then, finally, the contract can be awarded.
