Why Trapshooting is
the patriotic" Sport

Because it is going to help win the
war through the training it is giving
our aviators in the art of wing shoot
ing. the better equipping them to cope
with enemy airmen.
Because 1t is already helping to
win the war through the soldiers, al
ready in action or at camps. who
were trapshooters (and they are le-
gion) who have had their markham
ship improved by this sport.
Because it is providing training and
recreation to officers and enlisted
men at many army cantonments.
Because it has adopted as form
of training in the use and care OF
firearms by many home defense" or
ganizations to which we will have to
look for protection and security in
case Of riots, disorders. etc.
Because it aids in food conServa-
ton by improving the Workmanship
of sportsmen who go into the field
after game, thereby making it possi-
BILE for them to get a larger amount
of game which is used for food pur-
poses than would otherwise be the
case.
Because 1t Is a form of recreation
particularly adapted for busy men.
Our President. recognizing the in
creased demands made upon business
men, has urged that we keep up our
interest in athletics. in order that we
may be physically and mentally able
to bear the Increased burdens thrown
upon u.s. Trapsh ooting helps keep
men physically fit."

To PLAY
HERE TONIGHT
Mt. Carmel Big Five, of Orange
Reinforces Lineup by
Two Additions.

In order that the line up of the
Mount Carmel Big Five of Orange
might be strengthened for tonights S
tussle with the local Y. NJ. H. A. SEN
ior animation the manager of the
visiting quintet has announced the
addition of two fast players. They are
Ferguson a Montclair crack pivot
man and Booth, q forward on whom
the visitors place much hope of be-
ing able to break away from the Am
boy teams guards. Pengitore Will
remain at the forward position, as
originally decided upon, and the two
guards will be picked from Mamma,
Cardell and Errico.
The changing of the lineup of the
visitors shows plainly that they expect
strong opposition, but are coming
here, with a team which they be-
leve will be capable of winning from
the Association five. Amboy will not
make any change in its lineup, retain
ing Marty Kaufman and Charles Sher
at forward, Louis Kaplowitz and Jack
Miller guards and Harry Schwartz,
center
No preliminary game has been an
nounced so that 1t is probable that the
big game can be gotten under way at
an carly hour, possibly at 9 o'clock.
The preliminary games, although in
teresting, have resulted in the nights
play being long and drawn out so that
it will probably be done away. A ma
iority OF those attending are satisfied
with the big attraction and dancing.

Fifteen Years at Hard Labor
for Deserter at Admission

CAMP DIX, Feb. 14.-On the bull
letin boards of all organizations here
Yesterday n WGsted the court-mar-
tial sentence o. nie .ifilssaptis- iisalp
onment meted out to q deserter. Priv
ate Claude c. Thomas of Company H,
114th Infantry, stationed at Camp Nc
Clellan, Admission, was the offender.
He deserted October II, remaining
away until caught at Bridgeton, this
state, November II. Thomas, who is
a resident of Florence, Burlington
county denied he was a deserter, but
admitted he had absented himself from
Admission without permission. His
fifteen years at hard labor was or
+dered to be served at the United States
penitentiary, Atlanta. Ga.
Outside of the fact that Camp Dix
happened to be the nearest military
post to the place of Thomass cap
ture, the division was not directly con-
cerned in the case. 1t was disposed
of here at the request of the Admission
military authorities. General Scott
who approved of the sentence and or
dered copies OF the court-martial rec
ord posted in the barracks. said:
Under the law, the man who de-
serts the army or navy in time of wal
commits an offense punishable by
death. In view OF the length of this
mans absence I think the punishment
in this case was light 1t is the flrst
serious case which has come to oui
notice here, although it doesn't con
Germ the division directly. 1 want the
men of this division to realize tina
they are soldiers and that this is a
time of war"

House Bill Allows Use Of
TroIIeys to Garry Freight
By Specia! Correspondent,


TRENTON, Feb. 1.-THE House
OF Assembly has passed the bill intro
5uce1 by Assemblyman ~McAteer. of
Hudson. providing that traction COM
panies should be allowed to operate
in streets of municipalities to carry
freight on account of the congestion
on the railroads. Speaking in favor
of his own bill. Mr.. McAteer declared
that he had sustained the view OF
Governor Edge, that unnecessary leg
islation should be eliminated at this
session in favor of greater things, and
called attention to the fact that 1t was
his first bill to be introduced. He
continued that 1t was a very difficult
thing for many manufacturers and
merchants in his county to get goods
on time, and he felt that while war
conditions prevailed such law would
be worth while.
Minority Leader Simpson, also of
Hudson, urged the passage of the bill.
Mr. Kellam, of Camden. supported the
measure, but Mr.. Morgan, of Union.
opposed 1t. saying that he did not
think it was good bill. 1t was pass
ed by vote of Al to 8, which greatly
elated Mr.. McAteer.

SULLIVAN WAS NEVER WORLD
CHAMPION TECHNICALLY

The death of John L. Sullivan has
again opened up the old question OF
whether the Boston Strong Boy was
ever champion of the world.
Technically, perhaps, he was not,
but during the years from his defeat
of Paddy Ryan in 1882 and his draw
with Charley Mitchell in 1888, there
was no fighter who could have dis
puted it with him.
II is claimed by some critics that
the worlds heavyweight champion
ship did not really come to the United
States until in 1894 when Mitchell fell
in four rounds before the terrific on
slaught of Jim Corbett, but during the
time Sullivan held the title there was
not a man in either England or Aus
tralia, the only other pugilistic fields
of the time, who could stand before
| Sullivan.
| Joe Goss won several battles In
England and claimed the English
championship, although the claim was
never recognized in Great Britain.
Then Goss came to America and was
defeated in 81 rounds by Paddy Ryan,
who claimed the championship. This
was in 1880, the first year Sullivan
did any professional fighting.
Two years later Sullivan met Ryan
who claimed the championship at
Mississippi City and defeated MIN In
four rounds. From that time on Sui
livan did not bar any challenger al
home or abroad, with the exception
Of Peter Jackson. Sullivan refusing
| to fight-a negro.
During these years there was none
| to dispute his claims to the world
title and he claimed 1t, quite rightly
1t was not until 1888 that there was
any reason to doubt Sullivan's claims
to the title. March 10 Sullivan met
| Charlie Mitchell at Chantilly, France
lighting 80 rounds, the fight being
called a draw at that stage by mutual
agreement of Mitchell and Sullivan
lit has been said that Sullivan in
stigated this, when he felt his strength
going, but this is scarcely credible
when it is considerd that 10 months
later he was able to beat Jake Kilrair
in rs rounds.
At any rate considering Sullivan's
wonderful performances over thu
space of decade it is not too mucf
to give him credit with the world's
championship, whether he TECHNICAL,
deserved it or not

Two old-time pitchers as pitchers
go may be the bright shining lights
of the National League this season If
last years performances have any
thing to do with it.
Brooklyn claims one Of them, Rube
Marquard, famous as the $4,000
beauty who was transformed into
said beauty from $4,000 lemon by
Wilbert Robinson at New York and
who was believed about through a
couple of years ago when McGraw
sent him to Brooklyn.
The other is Chief Bender, since
1914 considered a member of the
well known Hasbeen club, whose
sterling work last year redeemed him
and makes him a candidate for pre-
mier honors with the Phillies this
season.
The work of Marquard and Bender
in 1917 was one OF the big surprises
in the National League. Marquard

The postponed match between the
Nonpareils and the Roosevelt five was
bowled last night on Bohnsack's al

honors for the night, annexing 234
in last night as his biggest game,
preceded by scores of 1872 and 1S9.
Golden, the Nonpareils fifth man, was
high average man for that combina-
ton, his scores of 144, 1913 and 1856

.ROSELLE PARK
LOSE TO P.A.H.S.
Local High School Boys Var
sity Wins, 25-17, Paying
Up for Recent Defeat.
(By H. S. Correspondent. }

(by IL. D. 1OTfeSpoiiuchl.(
Upholding the best traditions OF
Perth Amboy High School, Coach
Evans. crimson and white stockinged
braves got sweet revenge from the
Roselle Park crew yesterday after
noon on the local court, by the score
of 25-13. Roselle Park travelled to
Perth Amboy with the firm convic-
ton of trouncing the local players,
holding their recent triumph as proof
but ere many minutes were passed it
became evident that the scarlet and
white were facing a radically different
five from that they defeated month
previous. Used to practicing in
ries by dint of brilliant floor work.
able to pull off all kinds of shot, the
upstate lads soon found that they
were up against their Waterloo.
The opposing faction flashed neat
| brand of playing in the earlier stages
of the last frame, when they jumped
to within one point of their adverse
ries by dint of brilliant floor woark.
Spurred on by the rally. the home
five pulled together and put the con-
test on ice.
The first half was hardly begun
before Henshaw dropped in basket
from the floor. Westcott made the
field goal, followed closely by a sec
and two marker by Captain Roth. A
successful shot from the chalk line
was made by Lofty" Cavananugh
which was soon discounted by like
effort of the Amboy captain. ''Teat"
Kutcher parted the threads for bas-
ket and Speedy" Roth shortly fol-
flowed suit.
| A pretty field goal on jump ball
by Kutcher and a two counter Of
IWestcott's completed the high schools
scoring for this half. A second foul
pointer by Cavanaugh ended the ses-
sion with Perth Amboy in the lesd by
the safe margin of 1874. Whitehead
refereed this stanza.
| The beginning of the last period
saw the teams lined up with Evans
holding the referees whistle. The
Roselle Park outfit started with vim
and a dash that reduced the Amboy's
lead of eleven points to one lone
mark. Cavanaugh started the storm
cloud brewing with foul. Two sue
cessive baskets by Tomasulo sent the
mercury rising and when Henshaw
galloped up the floor for two more
field markers the excitement began
to grow tense. At the count fifteen to
thirteen things began to grow uncom-
fortably hot when Cavanaugh added
q point to the box score. With the
situation growing critical the Amboy
team took a brace and after several
minutes of scrimnaaging up and down
the court, Captain Roth lifted his fol-
lowers temporarily out of the mire
with pretty goal. A clever shot by
.Beals" Westcott sent the crowd into
| a prolonged burst of cheering and a
basket by "Henny" Kutcher took the
crimson and white safely out of bad
| rut.
! SPEEDY" Roth was high score man
of the game, frollicking away with
nine points tucked away to his credit.
Westcott and Kutcher ably backed up
their chief with four field goals
apiece.
| The score:
Perth Amboy evening news., 1918-02-14

was one of the most effective pitchers
in the league. His mound work was
the best since 1912 when he won
nineteen straight games.
When Bender first appeared on the
Phillies' field last year it was easy to
see he was a different pitcher from
the man who had had such bad
season In 1916. He showed the re-
suits of training and exercise during
the winter. When he rounded into
pitching form he proved the Bender
of old, one of the hardest men in the
| league to hit
With Alexander, Rixey and Laven-
der gone from the Phiilies it looks as
though Bender will have to assume
the role of star pitcher for Morans
team. Robinson has lost Sherry
Smith and Cadora from his battery
staff and Marquard probably will be
called upon to assume the premier
position there.

Crushed Zeppelin Under Road Roller.


When the French began to take to
pieces the skeleton Of the gigantic zep-
pelin that fell on the hills near the
banks of the Buech they found It an
almost ineItrieable tangle Of metal
The way they went to work was most
ingenious.
At the suggestion of NJ. DumanOis,
a naval engineer. they cut the carcass
apart with oxy-acetylene torches; the
pieces Of framework were carried by
men to a nearby road, where heavy
steam road roller was sent over them
TO crush them fat. Thus the bulk was
reduced by four-ffths, and the metal
most aluminum-was carted away
to the foundry.
