WOODBRIDGE
SPORT WRITES
Regarding Series Of Games
Between the Speedway
and Harmony Elves

The communication published be-
low has been received from a John
Driscoll Of Woodbridge. regarding
a series of games between the Har-
mony and Speedway basketball
teams of this city.
woodbridge, N. j.,
Feb. g., 1922.
sport Editor.
perth Amboy News.
Dear Sir:-As 1 have been a fol-
lower of basketball eve since the
Auditorium was built, whica is some
time ago, I think I am right in ask
ing for a series of games between
the Harmony Five of Perth Amboy'
and the Speedways also of Perth
Amboy.
while we all know of the record
the Speedways are making on the
court this season, there are probably
a few who do not know what the
Harmony Five are doing, so l will
tell. you they are playing IL wonder
full game"of ball this season. They
went down to Long Branch with
two substitutes and defeated the
crack Norwoods of that place, q
team that beat the Speedways.
"a few of the Harmony players
represent the X. of G. in Somerville
every Wednesday night. and the
Speedways went down there with
Hank Thomas jumping center for
them and just about beat them out.
when you stop to think who
plays with the Harmony you can
readily see that they would
not only give the Speedways a good
game, but would stand an excellent
chance of beating them.
Zone of the guards will be Freddy
Glochau, the boy that, held Ray
Handerhan scoreless in the Speed
way-Separate game on New Years
eve. "Rufee' Allen will also guard,
and let me tell you right now If il
wasn't for the sterling work OF
against the Danbury Separates the
Speedways would have lost, as his
guarding stood out as n of the
features of the game.
9 '"Then we come to the forwards,
and we have three men to pick from
and any one of these can Jump CEN
ter. / suppose the forwards proba-
bly, would be "Blackie" Regan and
"Chick" Evans, two of the fastest
men playing the game around here
today, and our congenial friend Yves
Hansen jumping center.
Hoping the Speedways see this
in the same light as I and II good
many others do and arrange q Sc
ries, I beg to remain as ever.
Yours truly,
JOHN DRISCOLL"

TO TELL HOW NE P/7CHES 10 RUTH

The defeat of the Tottenville team
boosted the stocks of the Y. M. IL.
A. team considerably inasmuch as
this team defeated the Perth AM
boy Speedways by a thirteen point
margin. two days previous. The
Yorkville Separates who put up a
great battle against the Speedways
on the Auditorium court last Satur-
day night, were defeated by the Y.
NJ. II. A. quintet two weeks ago.
The brilliant work of Jack New
mark, star running guard of the
Y. NJ. ii. A. team, has been a big
factor in the showing of the Y. NJ. Fl.
A. team in these games. Newmark
is playing the best ball of his ca
EEL with the Y. NJ. II. A. team this
season.
The local association quintet has
COPIED eleven out of fourteen games
played to date. The only teams
credited with victories over Mana
ger Levine's team are, Yorkville
Separates: Woodbridge Parish
House and the Danbury Separates.

stand for cold weather
motor troubles?

ITO many motorists, cold weather means increased
gasoline bills, starting and operating troubles, loss
of power and little joy in driving. The weather is
blamed, the battery, the carburetor. the engine-every-
thing but the main mischief maker.
Nine times out of ten the real culprit is sluggish, slow
vaporizng gasoline. This gasoline enters the cylinders in
raw rain-like drops. 1t explodes only partially. 1t wastes
itself. Some of it seeps into the crankcase and some is
wasted through the exhaust.
7ydol Economy Gasoline Daporizes fast
On the coolest morning Tydol enters your cylinders in
a finely atomized mist. 1t explodes completely. 1t burns
clean, carbon-less and with a white-ho powerful fame.
That's why with Tydol your engine has new power
and pickup. That's why with Tydol you can run on the
lean, economical IS to l mixture. That's why with Tydol
you generally find an extra gallon or two left in the tank.
Fill up with Tydol today. Look for the orange and
black sign.

Skirts Still Defy
u. S. Drug Sleuths
Special to The Press

CALEXICO, Aug. 15.-It is well
known that morphine, heroin, cocaine
and other narcotics are smuggled across
the international boundary between
Calexico and MeXicali, and that the
not inconsiderable trade in these deadly
drugs in the Imperial valley, and the
tremendous traffic III Los Angeles is
supplied chiefly by smugglers who
bring the stuff across the line at this
point.
1t is also well known fact that the
chief and most active smugglers of mar
cotics here are women. This is acknow-
lodged by customs, immigration and po-
lice officers, and Il number of these
women are known or strongly suspect
ed. But they cannot be apprehended
under usual circumstances for the rea-
son that there is no woman inspector
attached to the customs office here,
and the rules, regulations, law and
convention forbids the searching of
women suspects and prisoners by male
officers.
Some months ago Deputy Collector
f. r. Brown, in charge of the customs
house here reported to Washington the
Ol dlldlIS Htlc 'thu doNet iN'
the appointment of a woman inspect
or. At the same time he asked for a
number of additional male inspectors
to take care of the constantly increas-
ing business of this port. number of
times since then he has repeated his
request, but he has just been Informed
that no woman inspector can be given
him and no additional male help, be-
cause the department is without funds
to pay salaries and Congress refuses
to appropriate additional money for
this purpose. Consequently it will con
tinue to be closed season on the female
smuggler who carries contraband on
her person.
In many suspect cases Collector
Brown has called in woman searcher
and paid for her services out of his
own pocket. In number of cases he
has been well rewarded ythe discov-
ery of narcotics hidden by women; but
because of the fact that there is no
regular woman attache the female
smuggler plies her trade with i'm
punity.

idence to be given by Major William

CHINESE WIFE ASKS
AMERICAN DIVORCE

MARTINEZ, Calf, Aug. 15.-
Occidental courts today were asked
to write a final chapter to typi-
cal Oriental romance.
May Hal, aged 81, pretty and ac-
complished Chinese girl, sued Joe
Hal, aged So, for divorce.
The complaint unfolds a strange
ly mixed story of Oriental custom
conflicting with the Occidental
ideas of modern, Americanized
Chinese girl.
Mrs. Hal alleges:
That her sister sold her, accord
ing to Chinese custom, to her hus-
band when she was Is years old,
for $500.
That she lived with Hal until
she was 18, when she asserted her
=. right as an American girl of 1S
and left her Oriental husband.
That Hal had learned few Oc
cidental tricks himself in that he
represented himself to be % when
she married him when in reality he
was 48 and that he already had
one wife from whom he never was
divorced.
Mrs. Hal further followed the
custom of her Occidental sisters
when she refused to discuss the
CASE in a manner which would
have done credit to the most eX-
perienced divorcee in Reno.
Her lawyer added that she de-
c;, 30
the custom of her country frowned
upon divorce and that tong war
might be precipitated.

SIMON DENIES JURY
WAS HANDPICKED

District Attorney E. r. Simon has
filed affidavit denying the allegations
set forth in an affidavit filed by At
torney Frank b. Birkhouser, counsel
for Susano Garcia in the famous kid
naping ease. In his affidavit, Birk
houser claimed Garcia had not received
Il fair trial as the jury hearing the
ease was composed entirely of mem
bers of the Ku Klux Klan, handpicked
by Deputy Sheriffs Barker and Griffin
at the instgation of the district attor-
ney's office, and could not render
justice to Garcia as they were supposed
to be pre-. JUDGED against Garcia on ac-
count of nationality and religion.
In his affidavit, the district attorney
denies that the jury was handpicked,
or that he, or any members of his OF
flee, had conspired with the sheriff Is
office to cause members of the Klan
to be chosen to act as jurymen, and
cites as evidence that Garcia received
fair trial, four other cases involving
men of the same nationality and relig-
ion as Garcia, tried by practically the
same jury, not one of which has been
contested on the grounds of unfairness
or prejudice.

make complete report ON his efforts
thus far to settle the strikes and to
submit any legislation he desires

ing shopmcn and in this move they
