BY JIMMY r
World Famous Bowler

Many people make the mistake OF
trying to learn the sport of bowling
in n trial. 1t can't be done.
Bowling, like any other sport, re-
quires time, patience and a desire
to improve, if you seek to master
the art of getting the pins.
I would advise the novice to start
using a straight ball. He can either
start it down the center Of the
alley or on the right side and let it
work into the pins.
Regardless of the style of delivery
used the most important thing is to
hit the head pin. 1t is preferable to
hit the head pin full rather than
miss it entirely.
Hit the Head Pin
Seldom is a strike made If the
head pin is missed, but many a
strike Is made when the ball hits the
head pin full, a hit that is usually re-
garded as a possible split.
Great speed is not necessary to
success. Some of the games great
est gow1ers use a slow ball, while
others prefer a half speed.
A half-speed ball gives the pins a

The eight game winning streak of
the Perth Amboy Five on their
home court was shattered Saturday
night at the New Auditorium by the
fast Jersey City Big Five by a score
of 27-22. Inability on the part of
the local favorites to make good
even a fair percentage of the large
number Of fouls called upon the
Hudson county courtsters by Refe-
rec Chick Farley contributed
mainly to the Amboy dribblers first
downfall in this city this seaSon.
Out of twenty-six foul attempts the
home team made only eight points.
"Blackie" Regain was the worst Of
fender, making two foul shots out
Of eleven chances. Even Pete Han
sen, the foul-shooting star of the
quintet, missed two fouls out Of
three attempts.
In addition to poor foul shooting
the Amboy players were out Of form
in field goal shooting. while their
guarding was far from being up to
the standard, the fact that ten field
goal swere scored by the visitors.
speaking for itself.
The management had announced
that Hickey, the star of the st. JOS
eph Catholic Club, which quintet
downed the Amboys at Hoboken
Wednesday night would play with
the Jersey City team Saturday
night, but Hickey failed to appear
in the lineup of the visitors. His
absence from the game was a cause
O fregret to local court fans, who
have heard much of his ability.
The Jersey City outfit took the
floor with two dribblers who ap-
peared here earlier in the season
with the fast Englewood Club OF
Brooklyn. These men were Geiger
and Ludeman, both of whom played
sterling ball with the Engiewoods
when that team was downed by b
locals for a three point margin.
These two artists accounted for five
field goals and five foul goals be-
tween them, in addition to playing a
wonderful floor game. Jerry"
Noon also gave a good account Of
himself by adding three field goals
and two free tries to the JERSEY City
score. BolIinger at center for the
invaders aided his team mates mate
rally by obtaining the jump over
Harry Davis, a fair portion of the
time. Donovan of the Roosevelt
Separates was assigned to the task
Of guarding "Biackie" Regain and
handled his position in a very capa-
BILE manner, although in his over
zealousness he gave Regain eleven
free shots from the fifteen foot
line.

Post Eleven
Closes With
ScOreIeSS Tie Contest

The sensational work of Bill

lineup of the Beauvais Post Amer

featured the scoreless contest which
was played by the latter outfit and
the Indians Of Port Richmond on
Aquehonga field in T%ottenville yes
terday afternoon. The Indians de-
feated the legion eleven on the
Port Richmond gridiron earlier in
the season 7s.
The flashy local gridiron star
seemed to be here, there and every
where, and gave real proof of his
ability to hold down the quarter
back position. One of his most en-
~sational runs in this contest was for
thirty-five yards and occurred nea
the close of the first half. This run
brought the ball to the vineyard
line but a mispiay prevented the
home team from making a score.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-12-11

Several times during this contest
both teams succeeded in coming
within a few yards of their goal and
each time they were checked either
as a result of a misplay or good
work by the opposition.
The Indians threatened to score
on a number of occasions In the
second period but were held a short
distance from their, goal each time.
The crowd for the game yester-
day al the biggest of the season
and the game itself was conceded to
be the best played in Tottenville in
some time.
This contest closed the football
season in Tottenville and the turn
out and showing yesterday practi-
cally insures a team for next year.
Pete Hansen was the only other
Perth Amboy man in the Tottenville
lineup yesterday and he performed
in his usual efficient manner.

Curve Ball Destructive
A hook or curve ball is generally
considered the most destructive de-
livery.
If a bowler Uses a hook, he should
make it a working hook. Don't use
speed; not at first, because speed
really doesn't knock down any more
wood, and kills the hook because it
doesn't give it a chance to work.
When throwing a hook take it
easy and always try to keep the ball
working on the right side Of the
pins. Start the hook along the right
side of the alley and get it working
so that it takes the curve as it nears
the pins.
In making spares on the right side
of the alley do not turn your hand
at all, slide the fingers together in
gripping the ball and shoot across
alley at them.
If you are right-handed move over
to the left side of the alley and bowl
across at the Nos. 3, 6, 8, 8 or 10. II
you are ieft-handed move to The
right side of the alley and shoot
across.

POPPY PRODUCTION
IN JAPAN DECREASES
fBy Associated Press.

OSAKA, JAPAN. July 1.-THE
farms under poppy In Mishlma dis q.
tric', on the Island OF Shikoku, which
is the center OF opium production in
Japan, have this year been decreased
ny about so per cent. as compared
with the area cultivated last year,
owing. it Ia said. to a revision OF the
law regarding the sale OF opium.
When the imports OF opium for med
ical use were stopped during the
war. the government gave every pos
sible encouragement to the growing
