Turner Wins Again
From Tom DuCheSne

Putting up one of the most aggressive
matches in which he has yet figured in
this city. Joe Turner, the recognized
middleweight champion, won his second
match from Tom Duchesne, the Fall
River wrestler who has won much pop
ularity throughout New England by
defeating all corners.
Duchesne gained the first fall from
the local athlete in fifteen minutes, but
the latter came back in the second bout
and pinned Duchesne's shoulders to the
mat in eighteen minutes. Turner gained
this fall by means of the hammerlock
having held DuChesne to the floor for
several seconds. The third fall went to
Turner In eleven minutes, a repetition
Of the hammerlock being responsible
II will be remembered that Turner
disposed of Duchesne easily in their
match last week, but the latter wished
a return engagement with the toe hold
barred. This being one of Turner's
hest assets, the boy accepted the return
match with reluctance, and the fact that
ne won last nights bout from so clever
a performer as Duchesne is a distinct
victory for the local athlete. Duchesne
now admits that Turner is the better
man.

HILLTOP TRACKLETS

at coaching before him and II the men
continue to improve as they have with
n the last week, Georgetown will be
able to enter all of her men on March
2. in condition to compete successfully
with other Southern collegiate runners.
Campazzl is working hard to get in
trim to demonstrate by his performance
in the 440-yard event of the Baltimore
meet, that he has the speed necessary
for man in this years relay team.
The former Fordham star should be
able to travel the quarter mile in good
time on the track at Convention Hall
where the turns are banked and can be
taken without changing the stride. 1t
was CampaZZrs weakness on the turns
that kept him off the Boston team.
Jack Callahan seems to be in better
condition every day and the way he
steps his mile promises great things
for the future. The local boy Is %apidly
developing his wind and is able to sprint
for quite a distance at the finish. Cal
lahan has nice stride and gets over
the ground with little apparent effort
yet with consistently good speed for the
full distance.
Dfnkler continues to show improve
ment in his form and It will not be sur
prisinG to see him chosen as one Of
the four for the preps' relay team
Dinkler appears to have plenty of en-
durance and is able to work up consid-
cradle speed, so there is no reason why
he would not make an ideal man for
quarter-mile relay.
Gish seems to be able to impart his
knowledge of the track game to the

GIRLS CANNOT
C0NGRECATE
Police to Keep the Cigar
Strikers Scattered.

Chief of Police Patrick J. Burke de-
clared today that he will not allow the
striking girls of the Perth Amboy
Cigar Company to congregate~ here
after on the city streets and annoy in
nocent passers-by, which, he asserts,
they have been doing since the strike
began over three weeks ago. Chief
Burke will give orders to his policemen
to keep the sidewalks clear from
crowds, in front Of the cigar plant or
other places in that neighborhood,
which have been used, the police con-
tend, as meeting places for the strik-
ers during the last two weeks. Chief
Burke states that the strikers must
hire hall in the future, if they desire
to hold meetings.
This decision Of Chief Burke was
reached after numerous complaints
were lodged with his department
against the girl strikers who molest
pedestrians in that neighborhood, and
even assault young girls who are not
+ ,Jloyed by the cigar company; there
fore are not "scabs," as the strikers
contend.
Mrs. Rasmussen, of SOB Amboy ave-
nue., was chased yesterday afternoon by
strikers, and later was escorted to her
home by Mounted Patrolman Hart
mann. She said she is not employed by
the cigar company. Patrolman l.. G.
Jensen was on the scene at the time
and reported the circumstances rs ga

ANTOINE STREET
MATTER IS UP
Aldermen Consider Opening
Thorouqhfare- Other Matters

At the committee session Of the
Board of Aldermen the advisability
of introducing an ordinance at Mon
day nights meeting for the opening
of Antoine street into Inslee street
and thence into Garretson avenue, in
Lehigh Park, was discussed. This
improvement will give the residents
in that section of the city a short cut
to State street.
The committee practically decided
to adopt notice of intention Mon
day night to pave Paterson street.
1t is understood that the aldermen
favor the dollar and a half pave
ment, which has met with favor in
western cities. 1t is reported to be
better than macadam, nearly as good
as asphalt block, and only one-half
the cost Mayor Garretson believes
that the pavement will be used on
the Paterson street work as an exper-
iment.
5000 More for Fairgrounds.
The Board of Playground Commits
sioners, through their president, G..
G. Baldwin, made application for an
additional appropriation Of 5000 to
cover the cost of purchasing awnings
for the Fairgrounds, etc. This mat
ter was taken under consideration
but no action taken, Mr.. Garretson
states. He says the aldermen realize
that the playground board needs ad-
ditional funds and will grant the re-
quest if possible.
''Zones" for SprinI1ling.
It Is understood that the fire COM
mittee, of which Alderman L. G. Dali
ton Is chairman, will lay out zones
in the vicinity of all firehouses which
the firemen in the respective houses
will be required to keep sprinkled.
The zones will be small, it is said,
and thus avoid the previous delay ex-
perienced by the firemen in answer
ing alarms when their horses were
assisting in sprinkling the city's
streets. The territory not touched
by the fire companies will be sprin-
killed. by the street department.
A delegation from the Master
Builders Association visited the al
dermen with the suggestion that the
building code be revised in number
of particulars. A copy of the sug-
gested code has been presented to
each alderman for consideration. G
c. Christensen was chairman Of the
delegation.
