CLYMER'S INDEPENDENCE
KEEPS HIM WITH MINORS

The need of a manager for the ST.
Louis Cardinals brings up the old
question of why Billy Clyner. mana
ger of the Louisville Colonels has
not been considered for the berth.
Clymer Is perhaps the most success
full Of minor league managers. For
years he has piloted teams into the
first division of the American Asso-
citation and the International League
Never has he fallen below thlro
place. A number Of times his teams
have won.
At Louisville last year he took an
apparently hopeless club and brought
it through a winner. Before that he
had piloted a Toronto team to the
top Of the heap. And that particular
Toronto team looked the poorest in
the league. "'' 1'
Clymer's independence probably
has great deal to do with his failure
to get in the majors.
Bill would not ask for job and
if one were offered to him, conditions
would have to be Just SO before he
would consent to sign contract
Bill would expect to dictate the
policies of his club rather than turn
| this responsibility over to the mag
nate. Magnates, as a general rule,
are inclined to be Jealous Of their
prerogatives, and this may be the re;r.
son Clymer has never landed higher
| than the bushes.

Local High School Team Runs
Away With Opponents Who
Secure but One Point.

Outplayed in every detail OF tne
game, the bask etba1l tossers of South
Amboy high bowed to the Crimson
and White by the overwhelm ing
count of A to / yesterday afternoon
In the local gym"
After the first few minutes of play
it was apparent that South Amboy
was hopelessly outclassed and as the
game progressed the local players
shot baskets almost at will, while the
opposing quintet was held to one lone
tally from the foul line. The game
was about as poor an exhibition on
the part of AN opposing team as could
be witnessed; the attack of the oppo-
nents was very feeble, while their de-
fense simply crumbled under the ter
, rife onslaught of the Amboy players.
Shortly after the whistles blow
Fat" Hanson started the ball a-roll-
ing with a we'll placed shot from the
foul line, and Immediately afterwards
he repeated the stunt. A field basket
by Billie" Allen, another foul by the
plucky centre, and two successive
two counters by Roth turned the
game into a rott- After that the IN
terest waned; the local score mounted
by leaps and bounds until the end of
the first half saw Perth Amboy in the
van by the score of $50.
The second half was repetition of
the first. Westcott was showed In to
relieve Allen and Splitter took Jacob
sens place. Before the session had
ended Johnstone and Daitz were
thrown into the contest Nine field
goals was the extent of the lombard
nlent la this frame, Speedy" Roth
parting the threads for five two-coun-
ters South Amboy succeeded in pre-
venting a whitewalsh when Perkins
managed to shoot a basket from the
foul line in the early minutes of play
of this half.
For the victors Captain Roth alone
secured one-half of the teams points,
shooting eleven field goals In all.
Fat" Hanson secured one basket to
his credit and six foul goals.
Although this game was not an acid
test of the players ability, neverthe-
less the five played with the smooth
ness and neatness OF we'll oiled ma
chine, the attack strong and deadly
and the defense invulnerable.
The cheering squad again raised
the roof with its battle cries of VIC
tory and with its ear splitting yells.
A large crowd Of fans and "fannies'
waving the crimson and white colors
was present

THROWS MAN|CE,
In Fifteen Minutes at Interna.
tionaI Wrestling Tourney in
New York Last Night.

Harold Christensen advanced an
other step in the international wrestl-
ing tournament for worlds champion
honors at the Lexington theatre, New
York, last night, when he threw
George Manich in fifteen minutes,
forty-two seconds. Christensen and
Manich met in one of the twenty
minute preliminary matches, the Dan
ish grappler using bar arm and
body scissors hold in securing the fall.
He does not wrestle tonight.
Wladek ZoysZko and Yussif Hussane
wrestled to a twenty minute draw as
did John Freberg and Tommy Draa1
in the other preliminaries last night.
In the first finish match Earl Cad
dock of Iowa made his initial appear
ance in the tourney by meeting and
throwing DR.. B. F. Roller I'm 40:59
minutes, with q head scissors and
crotch hold. Caddock was much light
er than Roller but was. on the often
sive throughout. He is believed to be
the grappler that will make the best
showing In this tourney for Frank
Gotch's crown.
Stranger Lewis last night threw
Pierre le Beige in 2:32 minutes with
a head lock. Joe Rogers won from
Sula Hevonpaa in 1895 minutes after
Hevonpaa had incapacitated himself
by diving for Rogers and missing him.
Tonight the following matches will

Mems
At the DitInaS

The new World Picture Brady
Made, THE Maid of Belgium" in
which Alice Brady has the best role
of her career, will be the big attrac-
ton at the Ditmas today. The story
deals with the experiences of pretty
Belgian refugee whose memory Is
shattered by her sufferings. She is
brought to America and in this coun-
try becomes the mother Of a child.
Her memory is finally restored to her
through a shock. AS would be ex-
pected from this outline of the story,
the drama is filled to the brim with
exciting and thrilling incidents and
is crammed with suspense and sur
prise. The story is one Of the most
unusual and different" tales that has
been filmed for o long time and the
role of Adoree in this attraction gives
Miss Brady a big, emotional role into
which she puts her heart and soul.
Scenes surrounding beautiful Lake
George are shown in "Outwitted," the
Metro wonderplay starring wonderful
Emily Stevens, to be seen on Monday
and Tuesday. There the love scenes
between Nan (Miss Stevens) and Billy
Bond (Earle Foxe) were taken, and
this picturesque locality makes just
the right sort Of background for the
budding romance in "Outwitted."
In one of the magnificent rooms In
the house of Larson (played by Frank
Currier) O celebrated painting. "Por-
trait of Lady" by William Chase,

great fireplace.
The use of dictaphone is cleverly
brought into the story of "Outwitted."

TINS own words will betray him. By
means of clever signalling and tele-
phone communication his secret
thoughts are told by Nan emily

IRISH PATSY CLINE OUT
AFTER LEONARD'S SCALP

Down cast they are grooming Irish
Patsy Cline for try at Benny Leon
ards lightweight title.
While it is admitted that Leonard
has a toe hold on the championship
which he Is not likely to let loose of
for some time, it is not believed that
Leonard would have such q cinch
with Cline as he has had with the
other boys he has been matched
with.
1t took Cline trife over a minute
to knock out Jimmie Paul in Rhode
Island not long ago, and while Paul
is not world beater he has been con-
sidered a mighty tough boy to dis
pose Of and knocking him out in less
than round is not to be sneered at
In the meantime Leonard has gone
along at top speed usually ending his
! bouts with the referee counting IL

AS early as 116 B. G. it was introduced
