To Be Sure Of Tie With Hempstead
: Instead -of' romping ;i\vay Uf the (nnimpiorisliip.ol1 Section 1
oL the- South Shore. A t h l e t i c League, Hie Freeport il\^\\ School
basketball (cam, with two games to play, is fared with UK*
necessity of winning both to end
the .season in a tje with Hempstead,
now leading by half a game. The
Freeporters are to meet Lawrence
on the local .court tomorrow nitflU,
when they hope to obtain revenge
for their first set back of the sea-son,
and a week later will engage
the Baldwin five on the Golden
Wave roiirt. Meanwhile, Hemp-tetead
win journey to North Bell-more
tomorrow night to meet a
Meplium team which has won only
three games out .of. ten played.
If the Red Devils'can overcome
the Lawrence hurdle/there Is every '
reason to expectjjm two teams to
end l he seasoTp on even terms,
necessitating a play-off unless Mep-
Jiam springs the unexpected In its
contest with Hempstead:
Everything went wrfWig during
the second hair for the Red Devils
in their encounter with the Hub
team on the Hempstead court Mon-day
afternoon when the visitors
lost, 35 to 32, to a five they had
beaten earlier in the season, 66 to
45. Freeport led at the quarter,
10 to S and at Hie half, 20 to 15, and
then the trouble started. In the
last moments to play, Dodd sank
two foul shots to knot the count at
32-32, after w h i c h Hempstead
scored one foul shot and a. field goal
to annex the contest. '-.^V'
Freeport scored only 12 points
during the entire half which is far
below its pace. Even Bill Dodd had
to be satisfied with 11 points, to
which Don Fellman added a similar
number, while two Hempstead
players also scored 11 points each.
The Red Devils had a narrow
escape in their'contest with Mep-ham
Friday night when they won
by only a one point margin, 40 to
39, after amassing a lead of 7 points
at the colse of the third period. It
was Mepham's showing In that con-test
that makes the Freeporters
hopeful the North Bellmore con-tingent
will turn the trick against
Hempstead and enable the locals
to win the L i t l e without a playoff.

New York City and came to Free-port
when he was twenty-one years

Or. Gordes said that after
hearing ol the work of the hiter-
Failh Council and the u n l n i m l t y of
the various creeds In Freepoit, "L
cannot conceive of any outsider
presenting a message to Freeport
brotherhood."
He declared it wasn't what was
aid at brotherhood dinners that
ounted, but what people were.
He spoke ot the critical conditions

hem on misunderstanding among

When Mr. Rice became Postmaster in 1934, the Freeport Office em-jloyed
about 35 men, and although the receipts have increased about
:ive times since then, still the number of employees only doubled. Whlth
neans that the Freeport Post Office conducts its extra-heavy load of
work, efficiently and very capably, yet obviously understaffed. Thirty-oUr
of his men served in the armed forces, a great many gained high
honors and high ranks. The residents of Freeport have found that this
jublic service has been courteous and efficient, and the post-office is
called on to-answer many questions not related with postal work, and
to help out in many ways beyond the call of regular duty ..

The Freeporters are to meet Lawrence on the local .court tomorrow nitflU, when they hope to obtain revenge for their first set back of the sea-son, and a week later will engage the Baldwin five on the Golden Wave roiirt. Meanwhile, Hemp-tetead win journey to North Bell-more tomorrow night to meet a Meplium team which has won only three games out .of. ten played. If the Red Devils'can overcome the Lawrence hurdle/there Is every ' reason to expectjjm two teams to end l he seasoTp on even terms, necessitating a play-off unless Mep- Jiam springs the unexpected In its contest with Hempstead: Everything went wrfWig during the second hair for the Red Devils in their encounter with the Hub team on the Hempstead court Mon-day afternoon when the visitors lost, 35 to 32, to a five they had beaten earlier in the season, 66 to 45. Freeport led at the quarter, 10 to S and at Hie half, 20 to 15, and then the trouble started. In the last moments to play, Dodd sank two foul shots to knot the count at 32-32, after w h i c h Hempstead scored one foul shot and a. field goal to annex the contest. '-.^V' Freeport scored only 12 points during the entire half which is far below its pace. Even Bill Dodd had to be satisfied with 11 points, to which Don Fellman added a similar number, while two Hempstead players also scored 11 points each. The Red Devils had a narrow escape in their'contest with Mep-ham Friday night when they won by only a one point margin, 40 to 39, after amassing a lead of 7 points at the colse of the third period. It was Mepham's showing In that con-test that makes the Freeporters hopeful the North Bellmore con-tingent will turn the trick against Hempstead and enable the locals to win the L i t l e without a playoff.
