PASSING OF AGED
Medina WOMAN
MRS. H. M. GOODWIN
DIES IN seth YEAR
She Had Resided in This Village
Since Early Girlhood, and Enjoyed
the Esteem and Affection of Many
Friends,

Mrs. Harriet M. Goodwin, one of
the oldest women in Medina, also one
Of the oldest residents of the village,
passed from life last Friday morning,
March 4, at her home, 213 W. Wash
ington street, at the ripe old age of
IS years. Death was due largely
to the natural infrmities of age, tho
she had been subject to asthma and
bronchial trouble for a great many
years, which doubtless FASTENED to
some extent the end.
The deceased was a native Of Yer
mont, daughter of John and Phoebe
Morse Downing, and was born Aug.
22, 1885. At very early age the
family came to Medina, where the
subject of this sketch had ever since
resided.
She was twice married. Her first
husband was Festus G. Tylee, who
died while serving his country in the
War of the Sections A son, Eu-
gene, born to this union, became the
father of Miss Lena Tylee, a present
resident of Medina.
Some years later a marriage was
solemnized with Charles Goodwin, to
which union were born two sons, Don
A. and Floyd A., both residing in Ak
ron.
Mrs. Goodwin was a Christian wo-
man, devoted member of the Metho-
dist church, and esteemed and beloved
by a wide circle Of relatives and
friends, by whom she will be missed,
as well as by her neighbors, who
came to know more intimately the
native excellence Of this good woman.
A brief funeral service was held
at the bone last Saturday, conducted
by Rev. w. H. Bryenton of the Metho-
dist church, following which the body
was placed in the chapel at Spring
Grove cemetery, to await the arrival
Of the son, Don, who was in Cali
fornia at the time of his mothers
death. He was expected to arrive in
Medina on Thursday or Friday. of
this week, when another service will
be held at the cemetery chapel.

FIRE PROTECTION
IS NOT ADEQUATE
! SAYS SUPT. FRETTER
AND WATER BOARD
Urges Erection Of Another Stand
Pipe to Meet Requirements Of Tn
derwriters--Way to Finance II
Pointed Out.

The matter of adequate fire pro-
lection for Medina formed the subject
Of discussion before the Kiwanis club
last Friday, the present conditions
and needs being cogently set forth
by Supt. Albert Fretter Of the water
works, E. r. Root, president and W..
g. Smith, treasurer, Of the water
board.
The discussion brought out the fact
that the adequacy of the local system
falls appreciably short of the stan
dard set by underwriters for village
the size Of Medina.
For instance, the amount Of water
considered by underwriters as ade-
quate fire protection for Medina Or
other villages Of similar size lis r.
100000 gallons per "a hours. The
amount at present available is $685.
600 gallons, from pumpage, and 25,-
900 from storage; a total Of $4,000
per day. M
As to the remedies for this situa-
tion, it was suggested; first, and
most important, that there be pro-
vided an elevated storage Of an
amount sufficiently large to insure a

on Auditorium Court
With Legion Team

Harold Chick Evans, former
high school physical director. and a
r,ember of the Auditorium and Riy-
eI side basketball teams of a few
seasons ago, will perform with the
Terth Amboy American Legion quin-
tet on the Auditorium court Sat
urday night. Evans is expected TO
be found in one of the advanced
positions when the game gets I'M
der way.
II will be remembered that this
played featured the work of the
Riversides and Auditorium team
when these combinations were the
leading outfits in this section. Ev-
ans in the greatest number OF
games in this section occupied Il
guard position, and by playing run
ring guard took an important pat
in the scoring of his team.
Evans performed for the. first
time in his section With the River
SIDE team when this combination
Played on their South Amboy
court, and this player featured in
tho showing of the South Amboy
representative team in a, series with

! Club fame, will be station in the de-
fensive berths. Allen, a former Riv-

team.
Two years ago Evans. Allen, Gloc-
| hau, McCreery Were considered four
| of the leading players in this section,
| and inasmuch as all of these players
have taken part in a number OF
games this season, they should give
the home team plenty of opposition,
particularly inasmuch as Yak
Lowenkopf, their fifth man is play
ing a great game with the local as
| ISOLATION combination.
There will be a girls preliminary
game on Saturday night. On Mon

TODAY'S SPORT ANGLE

If Clyde Milan is appointed man
ager OF the Washington club 1t will
mean that three of the American
League leaders in 1921 will be star
outfielders.
That will be a bit out of the ordi-
nary. as ~outfielders are rather the
exception as big league managers.
Iris Speaker of the Cleveland team
has enjoyed great success during
his regime rs manager. He won a
pennant and a world series in 1920.
In 1921 with a team thai suffered
badly as to pitching he was a con-
tender all the way.
Ty Cobb at Detroit is the other
star outfielder t assume the man.
agerial reins of a big league club.
In his first year as a leader, Cobb
advanced his team a position higher
than the previous year. He is OF
the belief that a strengthened infield
will enable him to finish in the first
division this year.
Who will succeed George Nc
Bride at Washington? That is the
question that is puzzling Washing
ton fans and American League sup
porters in general. Clyde Milan has
been prominently mentioned.
A year ago no one would have
glVen Milan the slightest COnSlutrd-
ton as a manager. If any n had
mentioned the possibility to even
Milan, he would have scoffed at the
very idea.
Fate very often decides ones
destiny. Last year when an injury
forced Mcbride out of the game, II
was necessary that some m take
charge of the club while he was
under the doctors are. Milan being
the veteran in the lineup, had the
position thrust on him.
The club wasn't going very well
at the time. 1t didn't seem as II
Milan would be able to make much
Roadway. The club won the first
game played under his direction,
then the second and third. Milan
became intensely serious. The play
ers assumed the same attitude. They
wanted him to make a good show
ing.
The club won eleven straight
games with him in charge. The sue
cess caused Milan to have manage
rial ambitions. 1 am sure he would
accept il the position was offered.
The records show that catchers
have predominated as managers. In
feeders are a.close second. and out
fieldcra next in order.
IL lillian is appointed, the Ameri-
can League will present a rather
list of managers, three OF
them being star outhelders.

Of Woodbridge Victory

It was the smashing play of Glo-
chau and Hughes for the Parish
House team during tho opening ses-
sion, and the fioorwork and passing

The result CT the contest was never
in doubt except during the early
minutes of play in the first half
AZ the end Of the first half the
score was II to l. in favor of the
home team. The foul shooting Of
the two teams in this period was
away off form, Principally because
of the fact that the foul shooter was
changed tCo often. Numerous
chances were missed by both teams
to score from thu fifteen foot line in
this game.

in scoring, and the all-around work
Of Dublin who replaced Schwartz

responsible for the good showing or
the Y. NJ. H.. A. team IN the last per-
iod.

the floor in this game and during
the greater part OF the contest had
the situation well in hand. Called
