PARISH HOUSE
Second Game of Series on
Roosevelt Court Tomor-
row Night

The Roosevelt Separate basketball
team Will be practically eliminated

combination of Woodbridge cops the
game scheduled to be played on the
Coughlin auditorium court in Roose-
welt tomorrow night. This game is
slated to start promptly at $3.50
o'clock.
While the Woodbridge representa-
tives are of the opinion that they will
again down the colors of the Sepa-
rates, followers of the Roosevelt
outfit feel satisfied hat the home
team will have an easy time in cop
ping their fourth straight victory.
The Perth Amboy Dry Dock, Rah-
way Collegians and County Stars
have been defeated on the Roosevelt
court since the beginning of the Sep
arates home stand.
Manager Deter of the Parish
House will depend upon the Mar
tin brothers and Torch to take care
of the offensive work for the WISH
tors. Last Thursday : night the
Woodbridge players downed the col
ors of the Michelin tire company of
Midtown on the latter's court, and
followers OF the Woodbridge team
hope that they repeat in this game.
Mesick and Deter will occupy the
defensive sberths for the Parish
House team.
Pete Hansen, Eddie Regain and
Freddy Glochau should be big fac
tors in enabling the Separate team
to even their score with the Parish
House outfit. Cyl" Hibbard and
"Chip" Cutter will be teamed up with
this trio.
There is a great deal Of friendly
rivalry between these two teams and
their respective followers. and a e
ord crowd is expected out for the
contest. Charley Brownmiller will
be the eleventh man on the floor in
this game.
In a preliminary game the Roose-
welt Center girls are slated to play

fact / have never been able to con-

shifting my style slightly. which, of

Despite the fact that the slow ball
requires no great physical effort. it
is not necessarily an easy delivery
on the arm. The greatest asset of
the slow ball in prolongins the ca
,reer of a fast ball pitcher is that it
makes it easier for him to win. 1t

You can take this tip from me as

delivered with a natural motion is
much easier on the arm than any
other delivery used by a pitcher.

FINE ANSWERS

Y. m. H. A. Juniors Ready to
Play Ints on Neutral
Court

A. T.. Fine. manager of the Jun-
ior basketball team of the local Y Z.
M. III. A.. has nrade the following
reply to the communication of Man
eyer Dave Richman of the Y. M. IL.
A. Intermediates, regarding the lat
ter's proposal to play a game or a
series on a neutral court preferably
the Auditorium.
Manager Fines letter follows:
Sporting Editor.
News.
Dear Sir:-In reply to Manager
Richman of the local Intermediates,
/ wish to state the Juniors will play
them a game on a neutral court the
Auditorium hall preferably at any
time that this can be. This game,
however, is to be played not, to de-
eide the series for the champion
ship of the Junior Department of
the Y. NJ. H. A. and city Gas we
have already proven our superb
ority by defeating them in the first
game by thirteen points. losing the
second by three and being credited
with the third game when the Ints
refused to play the five minute extra
period), but to decide the supre-
macy of Ints or Juniors. We are
playing to convince the fans thai we
can duplicate M feats of this and
the previous years.
''In his communication the Int
manager stated that the teams who
opposed the Intermediates would not
give the Juniors q game. This is
not our fault as 7 issued challenges
to these teams and were ignored by
them, due to the fact that u team
only averages 100 pounds. What we
would probably do to them if we
ever do play them can be surmised
from what we did to the Tntermedi-
ates and our record OF winning
fifteen out Of nineteen games played,
most of them played against teams
who heavily outweighed us.
Thanking you for this space in
your valuable paper and hoping that
a game can be arranged, 1 am
yours in sport,

TURNER'S REAL
ATTRACTION
3.
S~peedWays Will Have Real
Opposition on Saturday
Night

Fans in this locality will be given
an opportunity on Saturday night TO
witness New Jerseys best basketball
team in action on the Auditorium
court. This combination is the Ma
tional Turner's of Newark, and the
Newarkers will be lined up against
the team which has been making
an enviable record on the local
court and throughout this state, the
Perth Amboy Speedways.
The Speedways greatest victory
of the season was the decisive win
scored over the Danbury Separates
on the Auditorium court last Satur-
day night. 1t was a remarkable VIC
tory and a surprise to all who turn
ed out for the game excepting TO
witness as bitterly a contested strug-
gle as was the first meeting of the
two teams.
In the last. game the Speedways
defeated the Danbury outfit in a
more decisive ann than did the
National Turner'S who are scheduled
to appear here next Saturday night.
If the Speedways defeat the Turn
ers, bigger n better attractions
will be brought here. The Wintons
of Jersey City, Frank Bruggy's
Scranton team and the Harrison
combinations are the only teams
credited with victories over the
Turner's this year and matched
against the three defeats are thirty
eight victories.
Last Sunday night the Turner's
handed a decisive lacing to Bill
Manning's former Amboy represen-
tative team. On Sunday night of
this week the Speedways will travel
to Newark to play the strong Bay
view Wheelman quintet. This team
has not been defeated at home this
year.
