dribbling were ft pair of tho main features
of the contest, In which Trenton went down
to the dirge of 3D to 31.
Good Team Work
Throughout tho game Cnmden displayed
the best team work of nny llvo that has
played In the Kastern I.eaguo this season.
This was particularly true of the first half
and In the plays which ended with Dlegan's
two field goals. Jim urown, wno nan ni
Ways been considered ns nn Individual
I player, did splendid work with his team--.
..t nt,t'il (fin irnm nxnetlv ns It

tried were mado nfter thero was no clmnco
for him to do any passing to his fellow
players.
If Rending tonight In the gnmo ngalnst
Jasper' at Nonparoll Hall wlni, Camden
will be In undisputed lead In the Kastern
league rnce. but If tho Jewels win thoy
will still hold the first position, with six
won nnd ono lost to five won nnd one lost
for Camden.
ArmstronB Ineligible
The controversy In the Industrial I.eaguo
over the status of Armstrong, of tho Fair
banks five, has been ended temporarily at
least by tho declaration of his Ineligibility
by President Franklin. The league's head
Is a stickler for carrying out tho rules of
the cage organisation to tho letter.
In tho by-laws of tho league It Is plainly
stated that no man will be allowed to "play
on any team In tho circuit who Is not regu
larly employed at tho factory he represents
on tho basketball floor. After nil of tho
facts -were In tho hands of tho president he
decided that Armstrong was not regularly
employed by Fairbanks.
Blow to Fairbanks
Armstrong's absence will bo a severe blow
to the Fairbanks team and grently reduce
their chances tonight In tho games
scheduled with tho Dobson team. This ove
rling the Big lied team will probably line
up with Hill and Tlutt at tho forward posi
tions; Wilson, center, nnd Anderson nnd
Kledasch or Dougherty at guard. Manager
Jonts has decided to uro Anderson to do
the foul shooting In placo of Armstrong.
ml Although tho Fairbanks team is very
good on tho offense, Dobson Is Just as pow
erful. Lees, who will do tho foul tossing
for the East Foils tenm, last week hot
nineteen out of twenty-threo In tho gamo
against Standard Holler. Along with Lees
at forward tonight will be Ilnmewood.
Morehead will Jump center with West and
Klndon at guard.
The other game this evening nt -the
Quaker City Hall Is llkoly to bo n run-
away affair, with Standard Holler doing the
running. Standard will bo opposed by the
. Dlsaton quintet, which has not won n con
test yet. With Pike. Wilson. Urown. Ornff
and Kllpatrlck going at their present pace,
Manager Kane predicts that his team will
be n first place early In December.
Tho DIsston team will be weak until new

to tho following.

"Still, It must bo remembered that quar

havo been following football games for
twonty years nnd wntched nil of tho good
ones. Vincent Stevenson wbb tho best nnd
tho worst I have ever seen wns Ilarrett. ot
Cornell. Sounds funny, doesn't It? I'll ad
mit that Charley was a great player, hut
ho should never have played quarter. The
reason? Well, that's very simple. Charloy
was too MODEST. When he called slgnnls.
ho was afraid to run with tho ball too much
because ho feared tho spectators would
think ho .had a swelled head. Ho nlwnys
was good for a gain, but Al Sharpo had to
Bend In word from tho sidelines to tell him
to ino his own 3lgn.il. If Ilarrett played

would have mado even n greater reputation.
Modesty doesn't count when It comes to

struction of tho Cermnn nlrshlp Wo wero
having supper when all of a sundden wo
heard tho report of mnny guns. Wo.
ran to tho windows, nnd there In tho ttky
witnessed ono of the most spectacular
sights I ever dreamed of There Moated
what nppeared to ho a great silver
cigar. It seemed to be standing motion
less. Searchlights wero playing on 11 from
overy direction Then of a sudden a terrific
explosion seemed to rend It In twain. Flnmos
burst out and In Just so.nied to Mont gently
toward tliu earth until It wns a few hundred
feet from tliu ground. Then It dropped
suddenly.
"The searchlight system Is wonderful. Al
though seven of theso lights wero on tho
roof of tho Savoy. ilKht over our head, we
could not seo whero tho light was coming
from. All tho spectator can sco Is tho
light created olthcr on tho Zeppelins or tliu
clouds Thoro seem to be no rays visible
Hvory tall building has them, as well ns
tho anti-aircraft guns.
"Lieutenant Louis Murphy, who was ono
of our party, took us out to whero tho
Zeppelin fell near Cufllcy. Thoro wo snw
n dozen members of tho crow sitting upright
In their gondola. They had boon burned
to a. crisp Several wero minus their hands
nnd legs. They had surely died at their
posts.
"During my stay In t.ondon I saw two
other Zeppelins como to enrth. One wns
brought down by tho nntl-nlrcrnft guns,
whllo tho other became disabled."
DAMAOH WROUGHT I1Y RAIDS
MIbs Window declared the tlnmngo dono
by tho Zeppelins Is very considerable. In
Rrlxton, for Instance, a bomb dropped In
tho street opposite tho First Presbyterian
Church. Nothing was left of tho ciilMco
savo a painting of Christ, which escaped
ns If by a miracle. Tho White Horso and
Whlto Rlcphant Hotels across tho street
wero ground to powder. Fires stnrt and It
is necessary to keep tho firemen working
nil night extinguishing them following a
raid, sho said.
Miss Window, who Is a member of tho
theatrical profession, together with Ray

visited tha convalescenco hospitals In nnd
around London, giving concerts In aid of
the- wounded Many of theso affairs wero
attended by tho Kins; and queen and promi
nent society people.
The munition workers In London nro
making so much money they don't know,
what to do with It, said Miss Window.
They go to tho theaters and purchase tho
best seats In tha house, where In former
times they would bo content to secure a
gallery seat Food prices In London nre
keeping pace with the rise In wages, how
ever. PJCTURK OF CRUCIFIHD SOLDIHR

MIIS, MILLER STILL LEADS
Tho full slgnlflcnnco of tho prettiest plec
of petticoat politics over pulled off In a
woman's gathering Is Just beginning lo dawn
upon tha delegates to tho forty-eighth an
nual convention of tho Pennsylvania Woman
Suffrngo Association in session horo.
Mrs. John O. Miller, easily tho llvost wlro
of tho convention, backed by tho State Ex
ecutive Hoard, turned the trick.
It's llko this:' Yosterdny, before the con
vention was called In order, Mrs. Miller to
nil Intents nnd purposes, wns first vice pres
ident of tho orgnnlzatlon nnd Stnto chair
man of Iho Woman's Suffrago party.
Scarcoly bod tho moetlng got under way
when sho nnnouncod her resignation from
tho latter nlllcc.
Ask nny nwnkened suffragist this morn
ing: "Ib Mrs. Miller nny tho loss powerful?"
and If she's a truthful and thinking suffra
gist, she'll grin nnd reply "no." In the
ranjorlty of enses It's tv hnppy grin, because
it'n tho consensus of opinion barring that
of a fow Insurgents In tho ranks known as
"tho scrnppors" thnt powor could not be
hotter plnced.
Coincident with tho resignation of Mrs.
Miller. It wns decided In n meeting behind
closed doors of tho State Exccutlvo Board,
.to apportion the counties of tha State Into
districts. Each board member Is to havo
charge of one of the districts and tho as
sistance of tho district organiser. This
work formerly wns Iho prlmo labor of tbot ,
State chnlrmnn. Hut thero Is no Stat
chnlrmnn; tho board Is looking for nn Ideal
(i)io and Ideal workers aro difficult to find.
Forsooth then, let tho board members re
port to tho vlco president. Who Is tho ylce
president? Mrs. Miller.
Hut nobody minds barring; those few
scrappers and yesterday when Mrs. Mil
ler's resignation, was announced In th
Evsnino) l.EMBn, tho wlro between Phila
delphia nnd this place began to hum.
"Reconsider your resignation." was tin
burden of tho telegrams that sho received:
"them's nn ono to take your place."
Hut Mrs, Miller declares that this Is
only tomporary pending the discovery of
tho Ideal chairman.
"It is not my Intention to relinquish rojr
Interest In sufTrngo work," sho said, dis
cussing her resignation. "As first vlc
president I will receive reports from th
board members among whom tho counties
of the State have been apportioned. Each
board member will hnve charge of a group
of counties and have assisting her an on
ganlzcr. Thus through tho board mem
bers tho organizers will report to me.
Handling this work neccssnrlly will entail
much labor nnd mako continued demand
upon my tlipe.
"Tho advantage of tho arrangement will
be that each board member will accept,
udded responsibility nnd knit closer th
entire fabric of tho Stnto suffrage work.
"The Stato Executive Hoard will await
earnestly and hopefully Bfggestlon. from
all the county organizations for a wpman
tu Mil the olllco ot chairman. As soon Bit
an Ideal woman, or one near tho Ideal, is
suggested and' will nccept the office we will
appoint her."
As yet po one has come forward to
make application for tha job,
