SY. MARY'S 5 OF so. AMB0Y
OUT AFTER COUNTY TITLE

Joseph Meacham. manager Of st.
Mary's high school basketball team
of South Amboy, has written a let
ter to the EVENING NEWS in which
he announces that his team is a con-
tender for the Middlesex county
scholastic championship and asks
the sporting editor to use his infiu-
ence in arranging games with his
team and the high school varsities
OF Perth Amboy and New Bruins
wick. The South Amboy manager
claims that the St. Mary's team has
proved its superiority over the teams
which it has already played. but
would like to meet Perth Amboy or
New Brunswick in order that the last
! obstacles between it and the cham
pionship might be removed.
"InL 4much as we have either
beaten decisively all other teams
from the county or those hat we
have not played r not TO be con-
sidered seriously. the playing with
Perth Amboy and New Brunswick
is all, in my mind. that remains to
decide our claim TO the champion
ship" the St. Mary's manager states.
No mention is made in his letter Of
South River. the logical Middlesex
county high school champions who
have defeated Perth Amboy high
twice and New Brunswick as well.
As the matter of booking games
is entirely discretional with the high
school managers these contests must
be arranged by the various school
managers themselves. Although
games with Perth Amboy and New
Brunswick would no doubt be inter-
esting for st. Mary's team OF South
Amboy. a game or series with South
River high would soon decide the
combination which has the better
right to claim the county scholastic
title.
If New Brunswick or Perth Amboy
have any open dates they might Sc
cure an interesting game with this
combination from South Amboy. The
St. Mary's record of games played
this season was not included il
Manager Meacham's letter.

DRY DOCK HARMONY CLUB
PAPER CONTROVERSY ENDED

Manager Wesley Wilson of the
Dry Docks Big Five, has written a
letter to the sporting editor giving
his side of the mix-up with the Har-
mony Club over this postponement
of a scheduled game. This will be
the last letter the NEWS will pub
lish in the controversy. Each man
ager has now had an opportunity to
place before the fans his side of n
case and these columns will not be
used for a continuance of the dis
pute.
The letter follows:
Sporting Editor:
Just a few words in reference to
the communication of Mathew Mel
ko, of the Perth Amboy
Harmony Club, in Mondays edition
of the EVENING NEWS, in regard
to a contest scheduled with my team
for that night. 1 trust hat this let
ter. my side of the affair, will bring
TO an end this small town system
OF obtaining free advertising. Some-
time ago / arranged a series with
the Harmony Club, the first game to
be played on our court. Inasmuch
as we are in charge of everything
on our own court we had the right
to pick our own referee. The Har-
mony Club to pick their referee on
their court.
shortly before the date of the
first game Regain was added to n
Harmony roster and his name was
presented on the list given to me
by Manager Melko. We did not a
him, Several days later Manager
Melko requested that the name of
Pete Hanson be added to his eligible
list for this series and objected to
the referee we had for this game.
IT believe that our ! of the
referee question is right beyond a
doubt. inasmuch as the Harmony
team held the right to pick their
own referee for the second game.
In regard TO stacking up against the
Original Auditorium team l believe
we are right in Directing to allow
ing the last player to take part In
this series. We did not challenge
the Original Auditoriums' and there
is no reason why we should play
them under the name of the Har-
mony Club. Manager Melko speaks
of my debating about the players
on his team. III we do not state who
will play in this series the team with
the most money and not the team
showing basketball ability. will win
the series.
perhaps Mr.. Melko is not dictat-
ing when he requested Messrs. Allen
or Evans, after I suggested a neut-
raj. referee. We r not talking
county championship. although my
team is a match for your team be-
cause we have our superiors in this
city. The Dry Dock team is ready to
play the regular Harmony Club team
the first game on u court. ] am
ready TO arrange necessary dates.
Trusting this communication will
settle this small affair. l remain.
"Yours In sport,
Nv. WILSON,,
manager Dry Dock Big Five"

game against the Railway Y. NJ. c..

Twelve Ex-service Men to be lnocu-

Twelve service Men to be lnocu-
lated for Scarlet Fever Remedy.
Twelve former service men watched
the rain kissing against the windows
Mt Mccormick Institute of Infectious
Diseases, in Chicago. They smoked
innumerable cigarettes, and discussed
other rainy days at AImen;ieres ana
Cantigny and the Argonne.
They glanced nervously Mt door
that would admit a white-aproneo
surgeon with a $1,000 check in one
hand and a swab full Of virulent scar
let fever germs in the other. All the
twelve had volunteered to submit 10
tests of the germs. Two famous path
ologists had called for offers in order
to discover q serum to prevent the
ravages of scarlet fever, of which the
medical profession knows little. For
each man selected the physicians
agreed to pay $1,000.
Three OF tho twelve were chosen
today and the germs placed IN .thel!
throats. If they show no signs or the
fever in O. week, others will undergo
the same test.
In addition to the initial payment
the martyr-pat;ents will be assured
Of the best medical care.

said one 6oughboy. This $1,000 looks
pretty good to me-
The physicians making the expert
ments would have preferred children
as subjects, but child has no re-
sponsibility and cannot give its con-
sent to an experiment that might re-
suit in death, so healthy young men
who never have had scarlet fever, arc
being chosen.

Renewal of Certificates.
The following information comes to
the office Of Superintendent Carroll,
from the office Of the state board OF
education in Columbia: ANY out
standing first grade state cert: ficates
may be renewed upon presentation to
the state board of examiners OF one
years successful and acceptable class
room experience by the holder during
the term covered by such certificate
with his or her request TOR the reneWai
of a. first grade certificate, together
with, written endorsement from the CITY
or county superintendent and from dis
trict" trustees. A second grade certlH-
cate is renewable only upon the pre-,
sentatiQn Of a record of successful ana
satisfa ctory summer school work. A

teachers who hold temporary permits
should have the examination on May
7th. Permits are not renewable
The Catawba Bridge.
The proposed bridge over Catawba
river 10 connect York and Mecklenburg
counties, is not to be built yet while.
1t seems that the very liberal offer OF
the Mecklenburg authorities to pay for
two thirds of the bridge if York coun-
ty viii pay for one-third, was very
safe, Notwithstanding the fact that
York promptly came across with her
part of the proposition. The attorneys
for the Meclslenhurg board advised that
under the law. Mecklcnburg could not
spend any money for bridge purposes
beyond her own, boundaries. .. This
seems like very go9d law and no doubt
is good law. AS toNwhether the Meek
lenburg commissioners were aware Oh
the law when they made their PROPOSE
ton is probably an open question. : But
when the obstacle to prosecution OF the
work developed, there was a promise
to get special permission from the
North Carolina legislature. But the
North Carolina legislature did not give
permission, and it does not reasscmole
for two years.

TRADING BY BARTER.
Poland, Soviet Russia and the Ukraine
Gradually Recovering.

Poland, Soviet Russia and the
Ukraine are getting back to funda-
mental principles of trade-by barter,
says the Washington Herald.
The establishment Of these trading
markets at seven towns along the Pol
ish border, where Russians. some from
deep in the interior Of the country
come with their horses and cattle and
small supplies of foodstuffs marks the
first step in trade relations which are
beginning to have their effect on Pol
ish commercial life.
The influx of horses from Russia, by
the way, has been so great that the
theoretical price has dropped from 1861
900 marks tonG0,OO0 marks equivalent
to a drop Of from 1920 to $50 in Amer
lean money.
In return for the livestock Poland is
sending into Russia quantities Of tex
tile goods and salt, with more limited
supplies of iron and steel products, and
some manufactured goods.
The development Of the barter mar
liets is providing increasing employ
merit for the tens Of thousands of Rus
sian refugees in Poland, and has led to
the re-opcning Of number of Po.ish
factories. Thus the unemployment
problem is rapidly being solved.
