LETTERS ToTHE EDITOR
That Ball Game.

Editor Barre Daily Times: / wish to
make correction in regard to the item
printed in your paper Monday July
Gath. This item stated that in the
game Of baseball between Northficld
Falls and East Calais that the North
field catcher was spiked by Calais
player wearing jumping shoes. This
was not true. The catcher who was
blocking the plate was spiked by a.
player wearing the regulation baseball
shoes This item also neglected to
mention that the Mortified players
and fans in order to show what good
sports and losers they were gathered
in the main street and threw stones at
the visitors as they passed through on
their way home.
As you printed the account OF the
game / trust you will allow me this
small space to answer their charges of
poor sportsmanship.
Yours.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1922-07-28

The collapse of the flooring of the
wooden bridge across the first branch
of the White river at South Royalean,
for the second time within few years,
beneath the weight of motor vehicle
ought to cause the town fathers there
to lay plans for the construction of
new and improved bridge on the
main highway between Barre and
White River Junction The wooden
bridge is going out of date as an in
stitution, as witness the iron bridge
across the main river only few hun
dred feet from the structure, which
partially collapsed.

ERRORS IN NEWSPAPERS.

A reader Of the Boston Transcript
takes that excellent news paper to task
for "your typographical errors have
reached such proportions that they are
civic humiliation" and adds the fol-
lowing somewhat inane criticism
what would you think of typo
graphical error among the carved in
scriptions on the Public Library ~
Very evident it is that the critic in
this particular case knows almost
nothing of the inner workings of q
newspaper Office, particularly of an
afternoon newspaper office. He for

Of the afternoon newspaper have all
the time at their disposal that they
could wish for, that the inflow of
news halts. say, for instance, two
hours before press time and thus gives
the Office force two hours to correct
the typographical errors, that there is,
relatively, as much leisurely procedure
about putting newspaper together
as there is in fashioning the carved
engrayings above such an institution
as public library. Only such a false
conception of the inner workings of
newspaper Office would lead one to
come to such conclusions as the critic
Of the esteemed Transcript makes
against the best edited afternoon
newspaper in the eastern part of the
country.

Streak of IA Victories
Is Stopped BY Locals

1. Jacobson's Perth Amboy Y. NJ.
Fl. A. basketball tossers annexed
their fourth consecutive victory of
the present season on the local
court last night in a spirited tussle
with the Williamsburg Y. NJ. II. A.
team of Brooklyn. Amboy won by
a 47-34 score but the game was
much more interesting than the
score would indicate. Williamsburg
had previously won seventeen
straight.
At the start of the initial period
Charley Sher went through for two
double counters and shortly after
ward made good two tries from the
free throw line. The game was
played amateur rules throughout at
the request of the Villa msburg
players.
: The visitors started a mad squirt
during which several sensational
shots were made and after ten min
utes of play in the initial period
the score was knotted 80. Amboy
started out new and compiled what
appeared like a safe lead but in the
closing minutes of the period the
visitors rallied and the score at half
time was 20-16 in favor of Amboy.
J~acobson's players started off
strong in the final period but Will
liamsburg staged another rally and
this time succeeded in coming with
in one point of their opponents.
This was the nearest the visitors
came to Amboy outside of the one
tie. Amboy drew away again and
their lead thereafter was never in

With a record Of eight victories
and one defeat the Perth Amboy

made by its management at the
outset of the season that the combl-

ed on a local court before. The
record of eight straight wins was
accumulated in the face of the best
possible competition that could be
obtained. Six of these victories
were acquired on the locals home
court, the New Auditorium and the
victims are quintets recognized as
the fastest in this state and also
New York state. The Danbury Sep
arates, Englewood Club, New York
Big Five and the Professional Col
legians are all from New York
State and were far from being set
ups for the outfit representing this
city.
The Harrison Big Five and the
National Turner's of Newark are two
teams that are known throughout
this state and both were forced to
bow to defeat at the hands of the
AOAaA oAA6bACA6 III 5dAaC6 SLd6Co III
this city. In two out of the three
travelling games that the Amboy
Five have INDUCED in, they have
returned with the bacon, having
taken the measures of the fast Bay
View Wheelmen and the National
Turner's for the second consecutive
time. The first defeat that was ad-
ministered against the local court
sters was dosed out by the Harrison
Big Five at Harrison, Monday night.
In this tussel the locals were minus
the services of their star center and
were consequently outclassed al
though putting up stiff opposition.
The Perth Amboy Five are out
for the state championship AMI IL
they continue at the rate that they
have been going up to date it is quite
probable that Perth Amboy viii. be
able to boast that she has New Jer-
sey's championship quintet when
the basketball curtain is wrung
down next spring.
The Bay View wheelmen, who
were nosed out by the local suction
shoed warriors at Newark a few
weeks ago by sever points will be
the opposition tomorrow night and
shrould they be defeated by the Au-
ditorium defenders, they will be OUT
of the running for state honors. The
Harrison Big Five will be rebooked
for this city at a later date. Games
are being arranged with tho Newark

TEAM
To PLAY YONs
Game On County Seat Grid
iron Sunday Afternoon
County Honor Series

Middlesex county professional
gridiron honors are at stake in the
meeting on Buccleuch Park grounds
Sunday afternoon of the Roosevelt
Field Club football team Of Carteret
and the Vons Of New Brunswick
With the rapid approach of the
football season close, Perth Amboy
once again remains idle as far as
participation in a battle for Middle
sex honors is concerned. It is be-
lieved that Sundays game VIII be
the first clash of a New Brunswick
and Carteret team in any branch
of sport for county honors In 4
great many seasons.
The Carteret eleven has been es-
tablishing a remarkable record on
the gridiron the past two seasons.
Only two defeats were suffered the
past two seasons by this team, both
the result of contests with the
Recreation eleven of Plainfleld.
The Vons likewise have been
playing great ball the past two
years and county seat fans are con-
hdent that county honors viii go
to their team this year. New Bruins
wick lost out in baseball honors at
ter a tough struggle with the Perth
Amboy Athletic Association nine.
Inasmuch as there is no game In
Tottenville or Carteret this Sunday.
it is probable a great many local
fans will witness the New Bruins
wick encounter.

WORTH|NGTON
PROS To PLAY
Harrison Team Booked In
stead of TriangIes Who
Cancelled Engagement

AS a result of a cancellation by
the Newark Triangle basketball
team of Newark, Booking Manager
Alfred Nannen of the Roosevelt
Separate basketball team Of Car
teret has been forced to engage the
Worthington Professionals of Har-
rison for the engagement on
Ceughlin's Auditorium court Sun
day night.
1t is believed that the Triangle
cancellation was due to the inability
of Manager Schwartz to obtain
Jack Cremmens to jump center for
his combination against Eggers of
the Separate outfit. Cremmens is
carded to play with the Meadow
brooks of Newark against the Ma
tional Turner's on Sunday night.
The Triangles were the first play
ers to score a victory owe the team
of Messrs. Manner and Jacobowitz
on the latter's court last season.
Previous to their clash with the
Triangles the Separates had COM
piled a winning streak of nine con-
secutive games.
The Worthington Professionals
were carded for a later date but the
Triangle cancellation enabled Man
ager Nannen to move their date up.
The Professionals hail from the
same town as the Harrison Big
Tive, the quintet which stopped the
Perth Amboys in Harrison last
Monday night.
The winning streak of the bor-
ough team was halted last Sunday
night by Frank Bruggy's Stars of
Elizabeth.

BLOOMFIELD 3
IS DEFEATED
BY Woodbridge Big Five On
Latter'S Court
51-25

The Bloomfield American Legion
basketball team suffered another
defeat at the hands of the Wood
bridge Big Five last night. This
game was played on the Woodbridge
High school court and the final score
was SLIPS.
Throughout the entire forty min
utes of play the home club held the
upper hand. The Martin brothers,
Ray Handerhan, Sullivan, Risley
and Mesick played for Woodbridge
in this game and all participated in
the scoring.
Bob Metzger of the local Speed
ways was the scoring ace for the Wis
itors. The Bloomfield team was
strengthened on this occasion by the
acquisition of one man who it is said
has had some league experience.
Woodbridge had an easy time de-
feating the Bloomfield outfit on the
latter's home court some time ago.
Due to the fact that the crowd
have not been turning out well for
the Woodbridge games, it is likely
that Manager Saltznan will discon-
tinue running at home. Games on
opponents courts will be played as
usual.
