mm . i y New Year to All BoatsICai^t Land at Montauk Dunbar Out of Freeport Police Force SOUTH SIDE MESSENGER OFFICIAL PAPER. NASSAU COUNTY Vol 3, Number 23 —r Every Friday FREEPORT, AND BELLMORE, N. Y., FRIDAY. DEC. 30, 1910 $1.00 Yearly, Single Copy 5 Cents M e rrick L I .R .R . Passenger Gain Belimore To e ll . Merrick a most Happy New Year. “ That Christmas comes but once a year. Is oft reiterated; If otherwise, our cash, I fear, Would be obliterated.” New Year Motto: Boost! Don’t knock. Services at the Church of the Re deemer, Sunday, the first after Christ mas, and the Circumcision of Christ, at 7:30 and 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Celebration of the Holy Communion at both morning services. Litany and sermon at the second service. A spec ial invitation is extended to all to be found this first day of the New Year in the House of God. The Sunday School meets in the Parish House at 10 a. m. as usual. All Advent barrels which were not returned at the Christmas celebration on, Wednesday are asked for Sunday’s session. The Woman’s Auxiliary meets in the Parish House on Thursdays at 2:30 p.m. The Ju nior Auxiliary will not meet this week. Choir practice in the Parish House tomorrow, Saturday, at 8 p. m: What purported to be a basketball game between Merrick and Smithville South took place in the Parish House on Friday night. It was between Merrick and Smithville South, but that it was basketball—there were those who said it was football. Some along the side lines implored the teams to play basketball but either they couldn’t or they wouldn’t, anyhow they didn’t. One of the Smithville players wanted to stop a play and lick somebody along the side lines for constantly bawling out his name. It wasn’t a half bad name either, but the player thought somehow it was not spoken in admira tion of his playing. This is a good point to speak of side line comments. They are too frequent. The privilege is not included in the price of admis sion. Why would it not be a good idea to issue special tickets, say at BO cents, giving the holder the right to a stand up grand stand seat in a prominent place with the privilege of “ shooting off his mouth” and the understanding that what he says important shall be published in the Messenger? Merrick excuses its roughness on the score of \self-defense.” We don’t know. We like to think so. But one thing we know we have against Smithville with no danger of a \comeback.'’ They delayed the game by their tardiness 40 minutes. Unpardonable. Play was not begun until 9 :10. These two teams try to be good to each other, but the rivalry is such that it is not in human nature, at least not in theirs, to keep up the dear Alphonse and Gaston busi ness after the whistle blows. A tie score at the end of the second half on 8 required further playing until one side scored 2 points. Apeler threw a bas ket for Smithville and the game went thither by a score of 10 to 8. At the end of the first half the score was 2 to 4 against Merrick. The players with their positions and scoring follows: Smithville: Baldwin, r. f., 4; Hub bell, 1. f., 2; Camplonia, of Copieigue, c., Higgifis, r. g., Apeler, 1. g., 4. Merrick: Colvin, r. f., Mulcahy, I. f , 2; Muller, c., 6 ; Verity, r. g., Burns, 1. g. Muller picked up a large splinter in his hand during the first half and played the remainder of the game af ter that very pluckily, though much handicapped. Little \Larry” Burns was the pet of the evening by his ex cellent work against a man much heav ier than himself. The referee was George Muller. Mr. Muller gave good satisfaction, especially to those who appreciate the difficulties of umpiring such a contest. The weather of Wednesday night de creased the attendance but in no way dampened the spirits of those who at tended the Christmas celebration of the Sunday School of the Church of the Re deemer in the Parish House. Old San ta was there with undimmed glory and gave presents to all the school from one of the best looking and the finest dec orated trees for some years past The program went off smoothly, the child ren giving the usual pleasure in their recitations and songs and carols to all those who love them.
