Was there a warm fight for Morri- son'e lire ^et'.' Many have asked and here is the answer. From e'ght to twelve on Saturday night, January 2u, the boys were on the job. Captain .McKeeman rang up Jij^or high score, 'Treasurer 1 ibby shot Ilia cannoii ball for \Sj, Prof. Vosburgh put on a Lyn-; lirook slant for 196, and at about ten o'clock C. 111. Mack seemed lo have it milled fur 216, with the rest running strong. Commodore W. P. Miller taci-td fnr 202. 'Ihen Fred Hart, who had rolled in hard luck all evening, started lu duck the last game and had one of h:» slippers olT. "Don't give up the ship," shouts Mack. "Just as yuu say," ri pliea Fred. Nice game that last game, Fred and Charlie lead¬ ing the bunch in Ihe fifth frame with lti6 each, then C. E. id. splits three times and F^. H. triples, and just with in fifteen seconds of twelve F'red ; throws the laat ball that night for 221 ano ttie lire irons. True sport, Charlie helps F'red home with the irons, and on their way north they peeped in Dan .Morrison's ebtablishmeiit on Grove Sireet ard looked over his mantles, tiles and lire sets and they new declare tliu: Dan told the truth wiieii he said Frreport Club could have tno nest he h lli in his shop.
l.y ih.c way, Chef Aloiiz served up an oyster stew that night for the boys that was immeiiBe. 'Ihaiiks to tne generosity of the Tournament tloiii- mittee. They tell ua Harry Starr sent samples to Dr. Wiley at Washington to as.ertain why the luscious biv Ives should rot have been called creamed oysters.
And then last Saturday! Thepill- chiickers were there en mass. Reason why'.' Well, you see President Werner Nygren is really a man of note in lit¬ tle old N'ew York. He is the senior member of the lirm of Nygren, Teiinev & (dims, one of the leading heating engineering lirma ill th.e United Stales. Recently he read a paper on his spe¬ cially at Montreal, where they also have an ollice, before the engineers nf Canada. Now, here is where the bi ya were interested. Pre ident Nygren (ITrred an order for the best bowli g ball in the market as a prize that night. Also the bag to carry it in. It was wbisprrcd around that this ball would be also constructed to specifica¬ tions embodying the lateat icjeas whereby the ball would automatically become heated so as to expand when splits were negotiated and would bc- ct'ine chilled and contracted when cor¬ ner pins threatened to make the ball roll in the gutter. Maybe, there was not a struggle for this remarkable ball. Clyde Wallace sjiiin 1^4, George Bennett Smith automi.biled for 187, ; Dan McKeeman steered up to 195, Charlie Mack ran up 2015 and had Aub¬ rey Mac( arey shaking like a haf. Ihe kids were rooting for Aubrey as the colt that marked 210 about nine o'clock against the vets who were banking on Mack. By the way, Flart worked aa hard as ever, despite the 15 point handicap given the winners. When Aubrey's new ball gets working, he expects to ask for a 50 point handi¬ cap.
Oh, can you smell it.' The good, old clam chowder Ihat the club put up tha: tight under Chef Alonz. Don't be surprised if something good turns up theae nights. The boys are coming out strong. Don't miss it.
Have you heard aoout the match for., the evenings of F'ebruary 12 and 21? Capt. McKeeman will pick ten veter¬ ans and Wizard Earl will nrirg on ten youngsters. There certainly will be some fun.
A ton of coal is tbe high score prize ottered for next Saturday night. Guess who is the member that has shown his interest in the Club by offer¬ ing tbis remarkable prize, vto ent¬ rance fee required. Every member welcome. A fair chance and may the lucky boy take the coal. Games start at seven in the evening.
That five hundred party last week was a success. And Bishop's Orches¬ tra was there when it came to the en¬ joyable dance that concluded a fine evening. On Thursday, Feb. 8, anoth¬ er like and even pieasanter event will take place.
There are six applications for mem¬ bership on the bulletin this week. Vveil, why not'; All gentlemen are eligible. This club is a grand thing for F'reeport. Boost it, boys.

No Action on Hack Fares
A special meeting of the Villaga Board was held Saturday afternoon in respunae to a complaint that some of the hack drivers were overcharging rates fur carrying paasciigera.
Pre«idci t Gunning and Trustees Be¬ dell and Collard were present.
'Ihe fuur hack o'Ainers, Thomas Chil¬ ton, W. Hriggs, Eugene Mitthauer and Frank Johns, were also there in answer to a summons, as were some of the drivers.
I'resident Gunning informed tho hackmen of the nature of the meeting and each in turn atated that if the charges nf f'i, which waa claimed, had been made, they were nut parties fo it and asked that the parties complaining be asked lo identify the driver. 'Trus¬ tee Collard stated that as the parties in questitni were strangers here, the reijiiost was impossible' to carry out He also slated that he had information to ttie elfcct that rome of tlig drivers charge '2') cents extra for a suit case.
'Ttie hackmen were unanimoua in their reijiicst that sume action be taken so that their paasengera would know the oflicial rates of hack hire without taking the drivers' word for it. They sugg(?sied that the rates he jirinted on a card and tacked in each hacK where it will be in plain view of every |ias- seng" r. They stated that their pres¬ ent rates were as follows: Inside the village limits any time during the day and up until IDo'elnckat night, 25 cents ner pa.a^iMigi'r; from 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock, 50 cents ptr passenger; meeting lh(.> 1 «)'clo;k train and aft-^r, $1 for eiiher one or two passengers, $1,50 for thin.', and .$2 for four 'Trustee Collard stated that hn th.ought that theae rates were too high and cited rates in villages in the section of Patchogue. Tho hackmen explained that if they could back a stage up to the depot and lill it they also wnuld be able to charge cheiiper rates.
When asked what it wuuld cost tn be taken to Ellison's Pnint and brought back immediately the hackmen slate(j t at it would be $2 as the [ilace i.'< out¬ side of the village. Ihey also stated that they charged more than the regu¬ lar rates for calls to and from the South Shore Yacht Club on the same grounds.
Captain John Dunbar asked for in¬ struction in reference to enforcing the ordinance of minors'" under liie age of I'i' years driving hacks. He slated that at the present time Harry ( lislton was driving and had refused to stop although t.e had been warned. Thomas Chilton, the boy's father, Btated that he had made upplication for the boy to drive, before the Hoard some months ago b';t the application had been tabled and as yet nothing had been done. The Board decided to take this matter as well as Ihe matter of fixing oflicial rates, under advisement.
Chief Cornell of the Fire Depart¬ ment appeared before Ihe Board with a recomrnendation from the Fire Coun¬ cil tiiat a chemical tank of tin! ."JO gal¬ lon jiattrrn be purchased (to be in¬ stalled oil one of the old hiLse wagona).
'They recommended aa their first choice the Kanawa Air Pressure tank and as their k cond choice a .00 gallon Champion Babcnck, bi;i by tbe Amer¬ ican La France Fire Fingine Co.
The reason for the second choice was that, while they recommended the air pressure tank, if the Board thought that the difference in price between that and the soda acid tank was too great, they placed themselves on rec¬ ord ag favoring the o'her. The Coun¬ cil aleo recommended that tho two companies be asked to give a competi¬ tive test here to show which of tbe two would be the most efficient for the F'reeport Department.
Chief Cornell was reejuested to com¬ municate with the two companies on Monday and arrange for a test at an early date as well aa securing informa¬ tion in reference to the competitive test that will be made in Reading. Pa,, on Thursday, when one of the Kanawa will go into a test with an acid machine.
Th? Board decided fo have the wag¬ on, which is to be used for the chemi¬ cal tank'^, measured at one • and a dia¬ gram of it preoared so that the work ran be rushed as soon as a decision is made as to v^'hich kind of a tank is to be used.
The Chief also rerjuested that the Board o'der the pun-hase of 2 F'ire- men's Marine Torches with 6 charges, to te ured in and about smokelilled and burning builJiigs. He stated Ihat as this nas a matter of e({uipment it could be charged lo the bond account. Both mutters will probably be taken up at the meeting of the Board this (Friday) evening.

Da. > Iti freeport Club Activities Was there a warm fight for Morri- son'e lire ^et'.' Many have asked and here is the answer. From e'ght to twelve on Saturday night, January 2u, the boys were on the job. Captain .McKeeman rang up Jij^or high score, 'Treasurer 1 ibby shot Ilia cannoii ball for \Sj, Prof. Vosburgh put on a Lyn-; lirook slant for 196, and at about ten o'clock C. 111. Mack seemed lo have it milled fur 216, with the rest running strong. Commodore W. P. Miller taci-td fnr 202. 'Ihen Fred Hart, who had rolled in hard luck all evening, started lu duck the last game and had one of h:» slippers olT. "Don't give up the ship" shouts Mack. "Just as yuu say" ri pliea Fred. Nice game that last game, Fred and Charlie lead¬ ing the bunch in Ihe fifth frame with lti6 each, then C. E. id. splits three times and F^. H. triples, and just with in fifteen seconds of twelve F'red ; throws the laat ball that night for 221 ano ttie lire irons. True sport, Charlie helps F'red home with the irons, and on their way north they peeped in Dan .Morrison's ebtablishmeiit on Grove Sireet ard looked over his mantles, tiles and lire sets and they new declare tliu: Dan told the truth wiieii he said Frreport Club could have tno nest he h lli in his shop. l.y ih.c way, Chef Aloiiz served up an oyster stew that night for the boys that was immeiiBe. 'Ihaiiks to tne generosity of the Tournament tloiii- mittee. They tell ua Harry Starr sent samples to Dr. Wiley at Washington to as.ertain why the luscious biv Ives should rot have been called creamed oysters. And then last Saturday! Thepill- chiickers were there en mass. Reason why'.' Well, you see President Werner Nygren is really a man of note in lit¬ tle old N'ew York. He is the senior member of the lirm of Nygren, Teiinev & (dims, one of the leading heating engineering lirma ill th.e United Stales. Recently he read a paper on his spe¬ cially at Montreal, where they also have an ollice, before the engineers nf Canada. Now, here is where the bi ya were interested. Pre ident Nygren (ITrred an order for the best bowli g ball in the market as a prize that night. Also the bag to carry it in. It was wbisprrcd around that this ball would be also constructed to specifica¬ tions embodying the lateat icjeas whereby the ball would automatically become heated so as to expand when splits were negotiated and would bc- ct'ine chilled and contracted when cor¬ ner pins threatened to make the ball roll in the gutter. Maybe, there was not a struggle for this remarkable ball. Clyde Wallace sjiiin 1^4, George Bennett Smith automi.biled for 187, ; Dan McKeeman steered up to 195, Charlie Mack ran up 2015 and had Aub¬ rey Mac( arey shaking like a haf. Ihe kids were rooting for Aubrey as the colt that marked 210 about nine o'clock against the vets who were banking on Mack. By the way, Flart worked aa hard as ever, despite the 15 point handicap given the winners. When Aubrey's new ball gets working, he expects to ask for a 50 point handi¬ cap. Oh, can you smell it.' The good, old clam chowder Ihat the club put up tha: tight under Chef Alonz. Don't be surprised if something good turns up theae nights. The boys are coming out strong. Don't miss it. Have you heard aoout the match for., the evenings of F'ebruary 12 and 21? Capt. McKeeman will pick ten veter¬ ans and Wizard Earl will nrirg on ten youngsters. There certainly will be some fun. A ton of coal is tbe high score prize ottered for next Saturday night. Guess who is the member that has shown his interest in the Club by offer¬ ing tbis remarkable prize, vto ent¬ rance fee required. Every member welcome. A fair chance and may the lucky boy take the coal. Games start at seven in the evening. That five hundred party last week was a success. And Bishop's Orches¬ tra was there when it came to the en¬ joyable dance that concluded a fine evening. On Thursday, Feb. 8, anoth¬ er like and even pieasanter event will take place.

White of East Rnckaway for $1000 damages as r,psuli cf being run into ny an automobile claimed to be owned and driven by White. Ihe accident which is the cau.se of the suit occurred at the corner of Hayview Avenue and Mer¬ rick Road on the evening of October 12. Mr. Niles waa making his rounds about the village on his bicycle to as¬ certain if all the lighis were burning. He was riding north on ^Bayview Ave¬ nue and when he approached the Mer¬ rick Road about 7 o'clock he heard .'in automobile coming from the west at a high rate of speed. Realizing he did not have time to cross in front of the machine he alo,«ed up to allow the auto to pass. Instead of doing so it shot around the corner, turning south, at such a speed that the driver was unable to get his car around on the west side to prevent hitting Niles. The compact smashed the bicycle on which Niles was riding and threw him in the gutter. As axon as he was able to ge( to the sidewalk the machine was driven away. He secured the number, however, and learned that it beloneed to Mr. White. Mr. Niles was confined to his home for several days from the Bcc'dent and is now suing Mr. White. C. M.

Preeport, L. I. It No Action on Hack Fares A special meeting of the Villaga Board was held Saturday afternoon in respunae to a complaint that some of the hack drivers were overcharging rates fur carrying paasciigera. Pre«idci t Gunning and Trustees Be¬ dell and Collard were present. 'Ihe fuur hack o'Ainers, Thomas Chil¬ ton, W. Hriggs, Eugene Mitthauer and Frank Johns, were also there in answer to a summons, as were some of the drivers. I'resident Gunning informed tho hackmen of the nature of the meeting and each in turn atated that if the charges nf f'i, which waa claimed, had been made, they were nut parties fo it and asked that the parties complaining be asked lo identify the driver. 'Trus¬ tee Collard stated that as the parties in questitni were strangers here, the reijiiost was impossible' to carry out He also slated that he had information to ttie elfcct that rome of tlig drivers charge '2') cents extra for a suit case. 'Ttie hackmen were unanimoua in their reijiicst that sume action be taken so that their paasengera would know the oflicial rates of hack hire without taking the drivers' word for it. They sugg(?sied that the rates he jirinted on a card and tacked in each hacK where it will be in plain view of every ias- seng" r. They stated that their pres¬ ent rates were as follows: Inside the village limits any time during the day and up until IDo'elnckat night, 25 cents ner pa.a^iMigi'r; from 10 o'clock to 1 o'clock, 50 cents ptr passenger; meeting lh(.> 1 «)'clo;k train and aft-^r, $1 for eiiher one or two passengers, $1,50 for thin.', and .$2 for four 'Trustee Collard stated that hn th.ought that theae rates were too high and cited rates in villages in the section of Patchogue. Tho hackmen explained that if they could back a stage up to the depot and lill it they also wnuld be able to charge cheiiper rates. When asked what it wuuld cost tn be taken to Ellison's Pnint and brought back immediately the hackmen slate(j t at it would be $2 as the [ilace i.'< out¬ side of the village. Ihey also stated that they charged more than the regu¬ lar rates for calls to and from the South Shore Yacht Club on the same grounds. Captain John Dunbar asked for in¬ struction in reference to enforcing the ordinance of minors'" under liie age of I'i' years driving hacks. He slated that at the present time Harry ( lislton was driving and had refused to stop although t.e had been warned. Thomas Chilton, the boy's father, Btated that he had made upplication for the boy to drive, before the Hoard some months ago b';t the application had been tabled and as yet nothing had been done. The Board decided to take this matter as well as Ihe matter of fixing oflicial rates, under advisement. Chief Cornell of the Fire Depart¬ ment appeared before Ihe Board with a recomrnendation from the Fire Coun¬ cil tiiat a chemical tank of tin! ."JO gal¬ lon jiattrrn be purchased (to be in¬ stalled oil one of the old hiLse wagona). 'They recommended aa their first choice the Kanawa Air Pressure tank and as their k cond choice a .00 gallon Champion Babcnck, bi;i by tbe Amer¬ ican La France Fire Fingine Co. The reason for the second choice was that, while they recommended the air pressure tank, if the Board thought that the difference in price between that and the soda acid tank was too great, they placed themselves on rec¬ ord ag favoring the o'her. The Coun¬ cil aleo recommended that tho two companies be asked to give a competi¬ tive test here to show which of tbe two would be the most efficient for the F'reeport Department. Chief Cornell was reejuested to com¬ municate with the two companies on Monday and arrange for a test at an early date as well aa securing informa¬ tion in reference to the competitive test that will be made in Reading. Pa,, on Thursday, when one of the Kanawa will go into a test with an acid machine. Th? Board decided fo have the wag¬ on, which is to be used for the chemi¬ cal tank'^, measured at one • and a dia¬ gram of it preoared so that the work ran be rushed as soon as a decision is made as to v^'hich kind of a tank is to be used. The Chief also rerjuested that the Board o'der the pun-hase of 2 F'ire- men's Marine Torches with 6 charges, to te ured in and about smokelilled and burning builJiigs. He stated Ihat as this nas a matter of e({uipment it could be charged lo the bond account. Both mutters will probably be taken up at the meeting of the Board this (Friday) evening.
