Track athletics received consid-
cradle boom early this week at the
local High school when it was an
noune "a that the Sfa-e street in
stitution would DC well represented
In the Cenra' high school games at
Newark next Wednesday night.
This manifesto was received with
glee by those interested in the Gin
der path, at a meeting held recently
in one of the classrooms.
At the gathering, Coach Waddell
confirmed the ruEaors and in a brief
address told the boys what was TX
pected of them. A regular training
schedule was prepared by the coach
and presented to the candidates. As
in all other sports a strict daily rou-
tine has to be carried out if success
Is to be attained in track athletics.
Manager Boots" Cohen also said a
few words to future Charley Pad
docks and Joie Rays. His talk
should fire the men on to higher
ambitions.
The events entered at Newark and
the men entering r as follows:
Seventy-yard dash, Art Corson;
220-yard run, r. Belikove, E. Dalton
and A. London; 440 yards, z. Null

in the east. Mullen took part in the

GIVEN OUT nv RECENT KID PO77Y SHOW
Interest I'm Contest
ON So. AmbOy Court
NeXt Mon. Evening

The S~peedways have a creditabie
record in games played to date this
season, having won about twenty
games and lost six. A great many OF
these games were played on st.
Stephens court in this city and at
Howland's hall in Sea Bright.
Les STATIONS basketeers after a
poor start made a sensational squirt
and at the present time are playing
a bang-up game. They should give
the Speedways a tougher tussle than
did the South Amboy representative
team of last season.
For the two games at South AM
boy last season the high school audi
forum was packed to capacity, the
greatest crowds ever at a basketball
game in the South Amboy high
school auditorium. Fans from this
city, Woodbridge. South Ambey.
South River, S~ayreville and New
Brunswick will be in attendance
when the whistle blows.
Charley Eppinger of South Amboy
will hold the whistle in this contest.

RESTRICTION Of
-
FISHING ASKED
State and Federal Authorities
Consider Migratory Fish
Law for Jersey

No other portion of the American
sea coast can % compete in the
importance of it's fisheries with that
rart OF New Jersey, between Della
ware Bay and Sandy Hook. Practi-
cahy the entire fresh fish supply of
the Middle Atlantic States, including
the great metropolitan area around
New York, is taken from the ATT
lantic ocean along these shores.
plemented in season by the catches
Of hundreds Of thousands of hook
and-line fishermen.
A report of Protector James M.
Stratton of the Fish and Game Conn
mission, covering the coast fisheries,
shows that a total of 156 fish pounds
were licensed in 1922 by this de-
partment. OF these huge Ash traps,
liza were in the Atlantic ocean and
forty-two In Raritan or Sandy Hook
bay.
Greater restriction Of sea-hships
methods, az a means of conserva-
ton, is now engaging the attention
of state and federal fish authorities.
A migratory fish law, drawn along
the lines of the migratory bird law,
that would protect fish of certain
species during the natural spawning
10 advocated by many inter-
ests. The fact that some of the
shore fishers reported fish so scarce
last summer that they did not OPP
crate their pounds, has given pro-
motors OF %protectory laws another
argument in favor of the pro-
posed for conserving the
lublic's sea food supply.
Oil wastes from ocean steamers
have created another serious menace
to the fishing industry. as well al
the pleasure of millions
of visitors to Jersey seaeoast resorts
This oil is driven by wind and wave
into the bays and over the natural
spawning grounds of the fsh. Its ac-
ton kills the eggs, which the fish
deposit mostly on aquatic plants in
shallow water aud is equally de-
structive to fish fry. Resort officials
and property owners. commercial
fishing interests and anglers clubs.
are cooperating in seeking federal
restrictions OF oil -bul ming steamers
that will check this evil.

Crimson and White To
Be Entered I'm Games
al Newark Wednesday

Coach Waddell has taken all the
men under his wing and before long
the effects Of his coaching Will be
noticeable. The Amboy coach IS
well lifted to teach the local young
sters, for in his prep and college
days at Temple, he was a track cell
ebrity Of the highest order. The
yong coach has also performed with
the crack Meadowbrook A. C. squad
of Philadelphia Many future stars
are expected to be developed at the
school, now that the track is n
Of the major sports there.
The Newark meet will be but the
first which the Arntoyans will take
part in. Manager Cohen is hard at
work trying to arrange a schedule
that will make everyone sit up and
take notice It has teen q good
many years since this city was rep
resented on the cinder path with
any degree Of success. The High
school is expected to I'LL the bill this
year, and If plans work out, the
State street institution will become
a top-noteher in scholastic ranks.
Besides participating in the ia
door meet the locals will also be III
at the outdoor meets. The lack OF
q suitable field in this city prevents
the staging of any kind Of a dual
meet with any other school, and, az
q result, the track performers will
have TO u on foreign soil. It IL
about time this city awoke TO the
situation and some agitation started
for the building of an atbeletic plant
for the euse OF the city schools
especially the High hschool. One.
must go q long ways now to hnd q
city of this size without a scholastic
recreation center. II is TO be hoped
that this will be remedied this year
and ar ambition realized when d
plant is erected.

cal baseball tossers who went south
Ito the Piedmont league two seasons
ago.
Reggie May Climb
Reggie, South Amboy right hand
ed pitcher who was traded by Dan
vile to Durham in the Piedmont
league during the latter part of last
season, may be traded to Ports
mouth in the Virginia league. The
South Amboy moundsman alsl
showed to advantage on his return
from the south last fall, pitching
the Landings Of New Brunswick to
a tie in a county series game with
the Perth Amboys.
If Reggie goes to Portsmouth
there is every reason to believe that
Andy Kane, a South Amboy infeli-
er. will be given a tryout by the
Virginia league team. Kane has
had a tryout with the Danvil' g

Mickey "Ponya' 500 to the Phil
adelphia Athletics of the American
League or Toledo of the American
Association and Reggie to Ports
mouth of the Virginia league are
rumored deals of interest to the
baseball fans of this section.
Information from Portsmouth,
Va, where the local southpaw
starred last season. is. to the effect
that Toledo and Philadelphia are
angling for the services of the fast
Radyarcing southpaw, but the prize
asked by the Virginia league tea m,
said to be $12,500, is o than the
higher leagues care to offer.
500 pitched for the Perth Amboy
Athletic Association nine during the
latter part of last season after his
return from Portsmouth and there
was a great change In his work.
He IL most popular here and the
fans are wishing for his advance
1aent.
A chance with the Athletics at
This time when Connie Mack s
working hard to give the Quaker
town a first division team, would
be one worth while. Once up in
the majors there is every eason to
believe that the local southpaw
WOULD loon step into the limelight.

Dear Sir:
ST am enclosing TO you the orig

now In a sanitariuEn at Morristown
with q sickness known as diabetes.
"You will note that the sum of
800 was turned over to him by Mr..
Costello, treasurer of the Center
Athletic Club. This amount repre-
sents the entire profits made at the
boxing show, and not a division OF
500. as was originally stated.
~ feel certain we could have
more than doubled the crowd and
taken Kid Potty out Of any difficult
ties he might incur during his stay
at the sanitariula, II II were not for
the very bad weather: however. !
feel fortunate that we cleared ex~
penses. and this was due to the very
good friends. who. perhaps. braved
one of the worst storms OF the year
to help him.
''There may be a number of
friends who would like to contribute
towards this good cause, and II SO.
would appreciate their mailing con-
tributions to myself. and help one
who is in dire need OF the money.
"Befere closing ! wish to thank
his many friends, the Center Ath-
lettc Cub and the Evening News for
their support.
