hardt school and has but two miles
of hard. surfacing to finish.
Superintendent Smith Of the Cap
ital Construction company, stated
yesterday that the work has been
delayed considerably on account OF
the shortage of material, especially
cement. They are at present be-
ing allotted five carloads a week

stice Game Last Night

George Mitruska's Hungarian
Catholic Club basketball team will
engage in two big games this week,
on Friday night with the S~ayreville
knights of Columbus on the Victor
ian hall court in S~ayreville and on
Saturday night with the Beauvais
Post. American Legion quintet of
Tottenville, on the Pleasant Plains
court.
The Hungarians scored an easy
victory over the Maurer quintet in a
practice game on the Hungarian
court last night and the class Shown
by Mitruska's players in this con-
test, speaks well for their chances Of
%annexing a double victory at the tx
pense of the Casey and Legion play
ers.
In the game on Friday night the
Hungarians will line up with Sep
lacky, Winkler, ]. Mitruska, Nc
Creery, Levay, G. Mitruska, Hornsby,
and on Saturday night the lineup
will be the same with the exception
Of Kochek in Hornsby's place.
An effort is being made by Man
ager Mitruska to secure the home
court of last years team on Cortland
street so as to arrange home con-
tests. On this court last season the
Hungarians gave the Speedways OF
this city a tough tussle.
Manager Mitruska would like tc
arrange a game with the Sterlings OF
South River, Woodbridge Big Five
and teams of similar strength.

DRY DOCK QUINTET
OPENS With VICTORY
OVER STERLING five

Wesley Wilson's Perth Amboy
d. Dock basketball team Travelled
to South River last night where
theJ engaged in a court contest with
the Sterlings of that place in the
high school auditorium. The visit
ing team outplayed the home club
throughout, winning by a 1890
score.
Although it was the first game on
the schedule for the two teams both
combinations exhibited excellent
team work and passing, but the
team work and passing exhibition of
the shipyard workers and their SUI
perior shooting caused the downfall
of Manager Keehan's South River
representatives.
In the opening session the visitors
tailed eight times from the field
and three out of five chances from
the fifteen foot line. During the
same period the Sterlings scored five
double counters and five out of sew
en- tries from the free throw line.
The team work and passing of
the two teams continued throughout
the forty minutes of play and while
the defensive work of the Dry Dock
players was mainly responsible for
the breaking up of numerous Sterl-
ing offensives, d e visitors succeeded
in working the ball through for a
score after receiving a tapoff or
after a pass of the home team had
been intercepted.
Six two-pointers dropped through
the Dry Dock basket in the last
twenty minutes of play in addition
to six out of seven trials from the
fifteen foot mark. The Sterlings
made four field goals and seven out
of eight attempts from the foul line
il the last period.

the effect that the Fords Field Club
nine failed to put in an appearance
for the contest scheduled n the

augurate bowling this season in a
match on the local alleys with the
Railway Bills Thursday night,
November 8. This is the locals first
match on the New Jersey State

Union Hill, Passaic at Rutherford,
Plainf1eld at Bayonne and Newark
at Elizabeth. Jersey City will not
play on the opening night.

START TONIGHT
Play Manhattan Lassies at

With their male basketball team
off to a good start through the scor-
ing of three victories over real OPP
position, attention of Roosevelt bas-
ketball fans will turn tonight to the
first game on the schedule of the
Roosevelt Center Girls quintet.
As was the case with the Roose-
welt Separates of which Messrs. AL
fred Nannen and Jerome Jacobo-
witt are in charge, the girls quintet
will take on n of the leading OPP
p%onents in the East in their initial
encounter of the present season. The
Manhattan Lassies of New York will
furnish the opposition in this game
which will be played as a prelimi-
nary to the Elizabeth-Brooklyn
Metropolitan league contest at the
Elizabeth armory.
Miss Mabel King of the Centers is
confident that her players will be as
successful against the Lassies on the
armory court as they were last sea-
son. The Centers beat the Lassies
in Elizabeth after the Manhattan
representatives had registered a one
point victory in New York.
Both Roosevelt teams have a real
chance of capturing titles this year,
the Separates championship of Mid
dlesex county and the third congress
sional district, and the Centers
championship of the state. Neither
team is looking for "setups" to aid
in the building up of a record.

Clash With Best in State


Due to the fact that the bazaar be-
ing held in st. Stephens auditorium
this week will end on Saturday
night, the Perth Amboy Speedway
quintet will not cavort on that court
this week end. An effort is being
made to make up for the loss of this
date by playing a game on a night
next week.
The Speedways have not been GO
ing as well this season as in for
mer years. but the class of their
opponents must be taken into con-
sideration. The Bay View Wheel
men, Newark Centers, and the Har-
rison Big Five are the combinations
credited with victories over the
Speedways. The Wheelmen are
without a doubt one of the strong
est teams in Newark this year and
the Centers and the Harrison teams
are about equal in strength.
An example of the strength of
the Harrison team can be shown by
this combination to the Englewood
Five on Monday night of this week.
The Harrisons won out over the
Speedways in the closing minutes, Of
fray here on Saturday night while
the Englewoods. were beaten
throughout the game on Monday
