OF RUSSIA VERY
 THANKFUL
Hopes U. s. Will Learn Through Its Generosity, More of Russia; Foreign Capital Sought.

Moscow. Aug. 23-George Tchit- cherin, d Russian of noble birth formerly ill the diplomatic service of the ear and now minister of foreign affairs of the Russian Soviet government, yesterday dispatched a message of thanks to the American people
 The famine situation hangs on the question of seed for next years crops" said NJ. Tchitcherin in ans wer to q question, for the seed grain has been eaten by the starving. New seed must be planted before September 15--Our rice must be sowed in autumn. We are gathering seed in other parts of Russia and forwarding it to the stricken area. but there is not enough and trans portation is difficult.
 The situation was caused by unprecedent general drought over the Volga River and the typical backward state of Russian agricul- turists, who have not used irrega- tion because heretofore there has been ample moisture the country now is as dry as a desert and there is insufficient corn for food
 "Wil America's relief to famine sufferers have any effect on Russia American relations?" | asked. Want Peace and Trade.
 Our people will be greatly thankful for the assistance and it is to be hoped that the American people will learn, through their own generosity more about the Russian people and their govern ment," he answered. The Soviet government policy toward America may be expressed in the words:
 We want peace and trade arrange ments Americas policy up 10 date seems to indicate that no relations will be resumed with Russia until private property is' restored to those who held it before the revaiHtitgls We want to open our dOorst to 1 foreign capital because we know that by this means we can cafry out reconstruction plans, We never intend to reconstruct Russia.

The Speedways took the lead

Manager l.. Levine's local Y. ".
Il. A. basketball team had an easy
time defeating the crack Rival quin-
tet OF the s2d street Y. NJ. II. A. in
the regular weekly contest on the To-
cal court last night. The final score
OF this game was 32-19, and through
out the contest the locals held a lead
averaging about ten points.
Iry Schwartzman and YAK" Low
enkopf alone made more points than
the entire visiting team. the former
being credited with five field and
three foul goals for thirteen points
while Lowenkopf registered four two
pointers. Berger was the scoring
C for the New Workers making
six field and two foul goals. four
teen of his teams nineteen points.
Schwamn made a field and three foul

The local team started the game
with Parker and Schwartzman in
advanced positions. Lowenkopf At
center, and Newmark and Richman
in the guarding berths. C>rley
Sher, the crack Tottenville basxeteer
did not take part in the game last
night. Louis Daitz went TO forward
for the association team in the sec
ond period, and Schwartzman went
to guard in place of Richman.
At the termination OF the first Pc
Rod the home team was leading by
a score of 1873. In the second half
the association players passed the
ball and practicad teamwork so
as not TO make the difference any
greater. Three points were added
to the lead of the home a in the
second half.
The Rivals did not furnish al
much opposition last night as they
did when they appeared here in the
opening game of the eason against
Manager Levine's combination. This
may be accounted for by the con-
slant improvement of the local Vs.
ISOLATION quintet since their opening
game. Under Coach Rufus Allen
the Y. NJ. H. A. team is making a

TODAY'S SPORT ANGLE

The fpee swinger in baseball, who
takes a healthy cut, is the type bat
ter who either hits the ball hard or
strikes u
The best possible proof that could
be offered to substantiate such a
statement. is the case of Babe Ruth
as told by the American League
batting averages.
During the season of 1921, Babe
Ruth made III hits for an average
of 1878. OF those III hits, 119 were
for extra bases. He broke the home
run record with 90, made A two
baggers and 16 triples.
What about strikeouts? Not only
did Ruth lead in home runs with
80, but he also topped the strike
out list with 81. When Ruth came
to bat. it was usually two or no
count with him. He had little or
no regard for singles. If he couldn't
hit safely, he had no objection to
going out via s%trikeout.
However he didn't relish being
retired on strikes unless permitted
to have three healthy cuts at the
ball. If there was n thing that
got on his nerves. it was having
some umpire call him out on a third
strike as he stood latfooted and
watched it float by.
Elmer Smith is another batsman
who cuts az a ball much like Ruth
When Elmer gets hold of a fast
ball, he certainly gives tia long ride.
The free swinger is often crossed up
by a change of pare. which explains
why the slugger frequently strikes
out.
Last season Smith went back to
the bench 46 times for the usual
drink of water and chew of tobacco,
after waving at a third strike.
On the other hand. batters like
Speaker. Eddie Collins and Sam Rice
who wait the pitcher out. seldom
swing at bad balls. and always pick
on the cripple, are mighty hard to
strike out.
Speaker went out on strikes a
dozen times last year, Collins whitfield
on IL occasions. while Sam Rice
was a victim only ten times.

With thirty seconds to go in the
contest between the Perth Amboy
Spee1ways and the Norwoods OF
Long Branch OF. The latter's court
last night, Irv Martin playing the
pivot position TO the visitors leceiv-
ed a long pass from Bradley and
registered "a score from the field.
This basket enabled the Speedway
combination 10 win the game by a
2S to 81 score.
During the greater part of the
game the Speedway team was on the
short end of the score, mainly be-
cause of thu home teams big advan-
tage in weight and size and the fact
that the eleventh man on the floor
refused to see numerous fouls that
were comrsitted. In the second per-
iod a new referee was used and
there was little improvement in the
way the duties of this position were
| carried ou..
Irv Martin, Bob Handerhan and
Ray Handerhan led the visiting team
in point score, the first mentioned
tosssr registered -four double coun-
tiers, while the Handerhan brothers
each scored three field goals and Ray
Handerhan registered three times
from the foul line. Brownmiller
scored one foul goal and Bradley
scored one field and two foul goals.
For the home team Grody and
Rafferty, were high score men, the
wfo1ner with one field and five foul
goals. while Rafferty, Is credited with
five double counters, four made by
himself and one given to him when
Ray Hanaerhan dropped a two
pointer in the home teams basket.
In addition to Bob Brody. the
crack New York professional pivot
man, the Norwoods used Dineen, a
New York state Lacquer in this con-
test. "Doc'' Reisner, Heiles and Raj
ferty occupied the other positions.
Brownmiller although held score
less from the field played an impor-
tant part in the team work of the
visiting combination. Bradley's
clever defensive play also was a big
factor in the Speedway victory, in
asmuch as he followed Dineen who
has been the. leading scorer and en-
tire offensive play of the Norwoods
