ASSOCIATION
TEAM BEATEN
Y. NJ. H. A. Forces Lose Hard
Game at New Brunswick
-PIainfieId Next

The Y. M. H. A. representative
outfit of this city lost its opener to
New Brunswick by a score of 5-2
at Bucceleuch Park in the county
sea- on Sunday afternoon. Although
a win was not scored Amboy put up
a much better showing than was ex-
pected. The Amboyans showed great
weakness with the stick, getting only
three hits off the delivery of Sam
Cohen of the county seat nine.
Hymie Hochheiser was on the fir
ing line for the visitors and held the
homesters well in hand but inability
on the part of his teammates to con-
meet caused his downfall. The Perth
Amboy association outfit was held
hitless and runless until the last half
of the ninth when "Hetsky" Levine
doubled and came home on errors.
Forgotson and Hochheiser both of
South Amboy then singled n by
infield outs the latter crossed the
plate.
The scoring for the home team
was mainly due to the hitting of Mis-
onoff of South River. With two on
base In the seventh he hit a home
run into the adjoining field. Then in
the next canto he again slammed
one of Hochheiser's offerings for a
round trip. Levine at short starred
in the field while Hochheiser's pitch
ing was above form. He struck out
thirteen while Cohen of the home
team made fifteen visitors far the
breeze.
On Sunday afternoon the locals
are scheduled to play Plainfield at
Plainfield while on next Thursday
night they will play the H. S. indie
pendents on the Wonderland field.

Branch Hickey a first baseman was
needed. Fournier was brought back
into the big circuit.
A risky youth, however, arrived
later in Jim Bottomley and, with
Fournier on his hands, Hickey ar
ranged an exchange with the Brook

Myers.
Always Rated Good Hitter
Fourier became a stubborn hold
out in this swap and did not relent
until the early part of May. Before
he Joined the Dodgers they were
eighth placers. While Fourier did
not do all of the heavy work, never
theless the Superbas did not start
their climb until he appeared In the
game and, although he did not get
the benefit of the usual spring train
ing trip, ae has been batting around
$50 all season.
If Fournier's career continues to
run as it has he will wear out his
welcome in Brooklyn in a couple of
years and move on to steady another
weak club. He says he is far from
through and ought to be able to stick
around in the big show for at least
five years more.
While never a fielder of the George
Sisler type. Fourier has always had
the reputation of a good hitter. So
in times of stress, when a club need

to Fourier If he happened to be So
journing In the minors, proving the
punch is really the big asset in
baseball.

POISONS

Gle by D. Wheeler about the widespread of poson by
French criminals $50 years ago.
The arch-demon of these poisoners Madame de
Brnvliers. The article tells how posing administer

Deu the city hospital of Paris She fd to the SICK pol
oned food and wine and studied their death agomes until
found the best posons to their friends brothers
and rich relatives whose money she coveted.
Says the article $50 universal the fear Of being
poisoned in France during the reign of the glorious Louis
XIV that customary for ladies and gentlemen of high
degree carry about with them andote for emergen
compounded of about so different drugs. Many OF
rank and wealth took their Theriac in the morning
larly as they had breakfast.
An able writer of that period Madame de Sevigne,
lover Sainte-Croix:
IsMadame de Brinviers wanted to marry Sante Crox
With that intention she often gave her husband poison
Crox, not desiring wicked woman for his wife,
gave antiotes the poor husband with the result that
shutte-cocked about in this manner i've or SIX mes now
poisoned now unpdisoned-he still remained alive"
This wicked finally arrested, her guilt proved
beheaded in public after long torture IN winch sh re-
fused to beray accompces who not only poisoned on
their own but also conducted big rathc selling
deadly drugs thousands who wanted to get d OF enemies
or rich relatives.
Very little known about poisons $50 years ago,
cepting few of the simpler drugs. Criminals In their
discovered much of what known today abou
poisons And doctors, forced to find andote uncovered
chemical truths that are Of much value today.
For instance national government announces that IN
