AMbOY VOLLEY
TEAM WINS SIX
Local ~" Players Defeat Two
YOnkers Teams

The Perth Amboy volley ball team
won six straight games from the two
YonkerS Y. NJ. c. A. last night at the
latter place, boosting their grip on
second place in the Inter-Association
League which is rapidly coming to a
close. After defeating the first team
of YonkerS by scores OF 1912, 1876
and 1876 the Amboy "Y" players took
on the second Yonkers team, winning
three more ISL, 1913 and 1916.
Playing with Amboy asst night were
Capt. George w. Sharp, Jr., Gilbert
Peakes, Herbert Rankin, Charles
Stocker, Walter II. War;, Frank Com
ings and William Bawden. Owing
to the fact hat Amboy had seven
men Bawden and Comings each play
ed in three games while the others
played all six.
But two more matches remain to
be played by Amboy in the inter
Association League, these being with
Brooklyn Central First Team and
Greenwich "Y", of Conn. The games
with Brooklyn are scheduled to be
played here on Saturday night, TINS
combination being the only one that
has defeated Amboy and it now holds
the league lead. In order to win or
even tie Brooklyn for first Arnboy
must defeat Brooklyn here Saturday
night.
The Greenwich team was scheduled
to come here for their remaining
games last week but because the flu
crippled their team the match was
called off. Nc date has been set as
yet for the games with that team
here.

Steps are now being taken by mem
hers of the Perth Amboy Gun Club TO
revive the t~rap-shooting sport In THIS
city. The local club has among ~its
members some of the best shots. IN
MiddIesex County and for the past
wear or SO the sport has been indulg-
ed in to the extent it was prior TO the
WAR.
When the war broke out many OF the
members entered the service n &C
INVITES were suspended. Another rea-
son for the disseminating of shoots
was that the range which the clup
had established. together with an at
hractive club house, had to
owing to the property upon which IL
was situated-on the old Amusement
Park track-being sold.
The range was then moved TO spot
slightly to the west Of the old site. NO
new clubhouse was built at that time
but present plans call for the erection
of another building for the use of the
members.
Up until two years ago much interest,"
WAS manifested in the monthly shoots
of the club for the permanent own
ership of cups donated by the Board
of Trade while weekly shoots between
members of the club were also held
on Saturday afternoons. On holidays
match shoots with out of town CLUBS
were generally conducted.

of the discontinuance of the local
range, to go to neighooring clubs. Sew
eral local men took part in the shoots
of the West End Gun Club at Prince
Bay, Staten Island. during the past
year. Other neighboring ranges
were also visited by Amboy gunners.
The present plan is 10 revive activi-
ties among members of the Perth Am
boy Gun Club, to increase It's men,
bership, iHaprove the range, erect a
clubhouse and DO everything possible
to promote the sport which is recon-
mended by the highest military Of
fcials as the one sport in America
which should be encouraged SO that

As yet only tentative plans have
been made but a meeting of the Club
will likely be called shortly in order
that definite steps may be taken to

sition to hold its own with any other
similar organization in the state.

GREAT LITTLE BALL PLAYER
Only One Thing Wrong With Mary
Ellen Was That, as Pitcher,
She Lacked Control.

FOur-year-old Mary Ellen dearly
loves to play with her seven-year-old
brother and his little friends To
make herself what he labels a good
fellow" she initiates all their traits
Now she is permitted to go with them
outside and play outside games.
And recently they have begun to
play ball. Mary Elen's part in this
has been for the most part chasing
stray balls. But in her heart she
aspireS to be Il pitcher. And the 9TH
err day when her mother was out in
the yard she exhibited her ability in
that line. "Don't you think I pitch
good, mother?' she asked. "Why, l
throw out my leg every time l throw
the ball-juSt like the man did out
at the ball park"
And she did, too, every time,
though the ball went wild and landed
quite in the opposite direction from
which it had been aimed.-Eychang

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Emerald Rarest Gem.

Owing to world shortage, emeralds
have become the rarest and most ex-
pensive of precious stones, says the
Straits Times, Singapore. Prices dur
ing the past four years have been
bounding up until the emerald is now
four times its pre-War price.
The reason for the scarcity of the
stones is the poor output from the Co
lomban mines, which are government
owned and produce 90 per cent of the
worlds supply. These have not been
working for seven or eight years.
A five-carat stone, sold at London
recently, fetched $500 a carat.
At Anakie, Queensland, Australia,
some very beautiful velvety green sap
phires of great brilliance are mined,
and the miners are trying to persuade
jewelers. to accept them as substitutes
for emeraldS.

LUbRICATION is
OF IMPORTANCE
Life Of Engine and Car Depends
on Proper 0iIing of Many
Different Parts.
PREVENT METALS TOUCHING
To Avoid Trouble With Bearings or
Cylinders Put in an Extra Pint OF
Oil Every Hundred MiIes-Don't
Wait for Squeak.

"The life of your engine and car
depends upon. lubrfcation,' is the sub
ject of an article appearing in a recent
issue of an automobile magazine.
The principle of lubricGtion is to
prevent any two pieces of metal that
are working one against the other from
touching. This is accomplished by hav-
ing film of oil between these two
metals. Upon this film of oil depends
the life of bearings, cylinders and PTS
ton rings. Only three different grades
of lubricants are used. The owner
should provide himself with a supply
of gas cylinder oil, grease and steam
engine oil.
Right Oil for Engine.
Never use steam engine oil or any
thing but a pure mineral oil in the en-
CINE. Fast running or riding over
heavy and hillXrOads uses up oil much
faster than city driving. Put in an
extra pint of oil every hundred miles
or 50. This preCautiOn will avoid
trouble with bearings or cylinders.
Once a month or every thousand
miles, the oil in the crank case should
be drained off and a fresh supply
poured in. The oil may be drained by
removing the drain plug at the bottom
of oil pan. After draining, flush the
crank case with Kerosene through the
breather pipe, replace drain plug and
refill with clean oil. Be absolutely sure
that all the Kerosene is drained off,
otherwise it will mix with the fresh oil
and will cut down its lubricating quail
ties.
Trouble Follows Squeak.
Don't wait until you hear Squeak"
before OiIing. A Squeak" means a
rusted or dry bearing, and when once
in that condition trouble soon follows
The compact construction of some
cars makes necessary the placing of
oil holes and grease cups under the
floor boards of the car. Don't, be-
cause it might cause you little extra
trouble, forget to remove them and
Intricate as directed.
