(Special to The Eagle.) rejoicing Riverhead a Saturday night Riverhead, L. June a 2-There was among then school boys and girls, and among many of the elders, too, when the interseholastic trophy presented by The Brooklyn Daily Eagle to the school winning most points in the annual Aeld day games "came marching home." It was discovered that Patchogue did not win the highly prized trophy on its merits, but that Riverhead did; hence it is back in the county seat, and is attracting more than usual attention because of the extraordi ar circumstances con Alfred Snyder, cerning it.

It was found that the Patchogue kiddies were guilty of starting "ringers." The fact that the trophy came back here this year, and that Patchogue was guilty of unbecoming and unsportsmanlike athletic conduct, is all the more noticeable because Riverhead last year won the trophy through error, Patchogue put up a virtuous howl, and later took the trophy because of Riverhead's misconduct. Now the tables are reversed. When the feid day games were over, a week ago Saturday, it was found that Patchogue had Won the trophy by points over Riverhead. Several protests had been filed, though, and it was believed that Riverhead would get the trophy when these Were decided. At that time it was not known that Patchogue had started "ringers," 80 the trophy gets to the county seat before any of the other protests are decided.

Secretary Young Learns the Facts. Ory H. Young, secretary of the Interscholastic League, having been told that something was wrong, went to Patchogue work. He invited a boy to go to a moving Pridey, a and did some clever detective picture show with him. This little fellow from Patchogue, before the show was over, told Mr.

Young all the details. Later Dr. Gordon, superintendent of Patchogue's schools: Mrs. Fannie Furman, principal of the High School: President Carman of the Interscholastic League, and Herman Brunn, of the judges of the games, were made acquainted with the facts. They investigated and found them true.

They promptly saw to it that the trophy was turned over to Riverhead. it. was found chat in the junior 60-yard dash, in place of Witcomb Case, aged who was entered, a lad named William Pelton, aged 15. ran: in place of Malcolm Davis. aged 13.

Herbert Rowse, aged 15, ren: in place of Joseph Weiner, aged 13. Lawrence aged 15. ran. When the race was run the judges announced that Davis, Casu and Weiner were the winners. Patchogue was given first, second and third places in that race.

a total of 10 points. Now that they did not win it properly. these ten points are taken away, and that leaves them points behind Riverhead as to the original spore, and adds some to Riverhead. because a Riverhead lad came in fourth. The Ate limit in the Go-yard Junior dash is years.

Snyder Blamed for Deception. These lads put the trouble all up to Alfred Snyder, capta of the track team. They say he Extil up the veheme, and dilected the older boys to start. Dr. Gordon.

superintendent of Patchogue's schools. was vers angry when learned the true state of affairs. He Fays ho is going to shift further. and 031 be do some wore drastic disciplining regarding future meets. Some hold that Suyder should never be allowed to compete again in amateur athletic sports; alic some hold thal the lads he started as ringers' ought to be barred.

One of the protests filed is to the effect that in the relay Patchogue athietes ca the quarter. ran back to touch the oncoming atalete. This is contrary to rules. Signed statements from officials to this effect have been made, and the contest committee will take it up. I it prevails Riverhend will get additional points, because it will give her a second place, as well as hrst, in the event, adding 6 more poinis.

The boy donuts turned nut Saturday evening with their fife and drum corps to elcome the return of the trophy.

Carlisle, Commissioner of Highways, with Colonel DeH. Washington, Harold Parker William and George C.

They will leave Watertown and go through the counties of Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Franklin, Clinton, Essex, Warren and Washington.

Following this tour, the engineers will make a visit to Long Island to study highway conditions. Commissioner Carlisle has been told by experts that the Long Island situation may be the most troublesome with which he will have to deal. This is due in part to the character of the soil and also to the heavy tomobile traffic. The engineers will advise Mr. Carlisle how best to construct the roads, taking into cinsoderation the soil, geological conditions, traffic and cost, and also as to the future outlay for maintenance.

Specifications for the different sections of the State will be prepared after this study has been made. "Pending the report of this committee," says a statement from the Highways Department, "the policy of the department will be to place adequate forces of men on roads which are in need of repair to get them in good condition AS quickly as possible. During the early part of the summer this character of work will have preference over the letting of contracts for new construction. After the advistory committee has visited the different sections of the State and made its report, then Mr. Carlisle will be prepared to take up the construction work with some certainty that a type of road will be built that will stand the tramc and not prove as much of a failure as some of the highways that have been constructed by the State."

FUSIONISTS LINING UP. Cassidy Again Looms Large In Plans to Beat Connolly for Borough Presidency. Ever since the anti-Connolly men met success in entertaining Governor with Sulzer at the Long Island City meeting for direct primaries, the Republicans and Progressives a new in the fusion movement.

The vociferous and apparently sincere greeting which was given to Joe Cassidy, who sidered a "dead one" by certain persons, led the would-be fusionists to behas lieve that he will be of considerable help to the movement after all. And John M. Phillips, inspector of supplies of the State Lunacy Commission, is now counted on to be one of the factors in vote-getting phase strong, battle this the coming fall. An effort will be made by the ent Democrats to overcome one of the serious obstacles which they encountered in the last primary fight against the "regulars." That was the necessity of using a ship as an emblem. District Attorney Matthew J.

Smith, called attention to the matter when he addressed the meeting Thursday night in Long Island City. "We must now work for another reform that will give all Democrats, regardless of their factional atfilliations, an equal chance in the primarles. You know that last fall we had to conduct our fight under the emblem of the ship and thousands of voters have told us since that time that bethey lieved we were organizing a new and breaking away from the Democratic party fold. We encountered that idea almost everywhere in the county. That doctrine had been spread assiduously by certain persons.

There is no good moral or legal reason why those who are in power should be allowed to use the star, the emblem of the Democratic Party, on their primary ballots while we, who are just as good Democrats as they are, should be compelled to else. The reformation of use something that feature in the primary law is a very important all and we must work to that end so that I step, Democrats will have an equal There is still a strong belief in political circles that Senator Bernard Patten will vote against Governor Sulzer's direct primary bill at the extraordinary session of the Legislature. Up to now he has not declared himself, although many are asking him what he intends to do. The visit from the committee of nine which is being made up by Eugene N. L.

Long, the well-known lawyer, who It, is being awaited with interest and was chairman of the Long Island meeting, and who was asked a to appoint City anxiety. The resolutions which were adopted at the meeting, urging the Senator to vote for the Governor's bill, will be written out and the nine men uamed by Mr. Young will give them personally to Senator Patten. son in It is regarded as more than likely that the refusal of Senator Patten to vote for the bill will cause Governor Sulzer to invade his district and take the stump against him should he. attempt to get re-elected to the Legislature.

In that connection, it is being whispered around that Patten will stick by his original resolution and abandon the idea of another term at Albany. In that event he will be taken care of politically in other directions because he has done some extremely good work as a Senator, and the leaders of the regular organization feel, as do some others, that he is entitled to some kind of a reward. Conferences between leaders of the anti-Connolly Democrats, the Progresgives and the Republicans have been very frequent in the last two week, in an effort to harmonize and fuse. Among those who have gathered together in the open and in some of the out-of-the-way corners are Joe Cassidy, once boss of the Democrats; Theron H. Burden, the most powerful Republican in the lower end of the county; Frank L.

Ferguson, Progressive; Martin Mager, District Attorney Smith and others, who have taken prominent parts in the old political games of Queens. The Shinnecock Democratic Club of Flushing has called a special meeting for tomorrow evening. Officers for the ensuing year will be elected and Patrick J. Mara, it is said, will a be selected as president. The Flushing club has "been on the outs" with the administration forces and plans for the coming campaign will be outlined at the meeting.

Many of the members of the Shinnecock Club favor the nomination of Rupert B. Thomas of Flushing for Borough President. About the only patronage in sight that the Democratic organization might have 8 chance of distributing in Queens at this time is fifteen trustees to manage the Queens Borough libraries, which it is expected will soon be named by Mayor Gaynor in accordance with the bill recently signed by Governor Sulzer. There is no particular strife our these jobs, as there are no salaries attached to them and moreover there is a question as to whether Mayor Gaynor would recognize Leader Shea's recommendations as to the merits of the various candidates. Although the job pays no salary there is no dearth of men who are willing to fill it.

The talk of having Queens Democrats on the municipal district ticket, which is revived every four years, is again heard and the argument is adyanced that Queens, with its steadily growing population, is entitled to recognition on the ticket.
