TO MAKE ARSENATE
At MUSCLE SHOALS
Ford's Plans Embrace Additional
Aid To Southern Cotton
Planters

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. $500 EX-
pressing the belief that Henry Ford
would manufacture at Muscle Shoals
the calcium arsenate necessary to
fight the boil weevil, Representative
Wright, Democrat, Georgia, has urg-
ed the house to expedite action on
the Ford offer which has been pend
ing for eighteen months.
Mr.. Wright said he had taken up
with Ford representatives the pro-
posal that both nitrate and calcium
arsenate be made at Muscle Shoals
and that the Ford people were en-
gagged in a study of the possibility
of the plan.
Instead of spending millions for
this chemical" said Mr. Wright,
congress should take steps to have
it produced, We are sending mil
lions of dollars every year to Chile
for nitrates, while a plant capable
of making it cbeaply at Muscle
Shoals is idle. A bill dealing with
it mas been reported to the house
by a Republican committee and yet
not a move has been made by con-
gress to forward its passage
The big banks and trust companies,
the automobile manufacturers, the
water power interests and the fer
tilizer trust" were named by Mr.
Wright as those opposing Ford
Representative James, Republican,
Michigan, also urged acceptance of
the Ford offer. Propaganda, he said,
had been circulated to convince the
farmer that Ford would not make
fertilizer if he got the plant. The
farmer is not going to be fooled,
said Mr.. James. Their representa-
tiycs saw to it that the bill guaran-
tees that fertilizer will be made and
it viii be made and sold cheaply."

Jersey SEPARATE 5
DEFEATED BY LOCALS
in FAST ENCOUNTER

Separates play at the start OF the
second half. A drive was started
which was not checked until n
Amboy lead was cut to two points
and in the last half of the second
period the locals started a counter
offensive which placed their lead at
seven points once again.
In the final period, Handerhan
tailed two double counters for AM
boy, and Thomas and Regain each
registered a tally from the field.
Byers made two double deckers for
the visitors and Williams and Coon
ey, each parted the shreds for a two
pointer.
From the free throw line, Amboy
made five out of nine chances in the
last half, and the visitors made five
out of eleven. Amboy outscored the
Separates, nine to five from the
field, and the visitors made fourteen
fouls as against thirteen for the To-
cal team. Referee "Chuck" Solador
called twenty-three fouls on the
Separates, and thirty-three on Am

BOWLING MEN
MEET TONIGHT
Organization Meeting Sched-
uIed for Y. M. c. A. on Jef-
ferson st. this Evening

The first real move to organize a
bowling league in this city for the
1923-24 season has been made by
the local Y. M. C. A. through tho
calling of a meeting to be held at the
association building on Jefferson
street tonight. -,
A call has been issued for Bill
Pemberton, Bert Golden, AL Simon
san, All Wibiralske. George Fuller
ton, Art Dagger, Ed Mallet and Tom
Smith captains of last years hrst
five man tournament. This meeting
is scheduled for 7:15 o'clock and 1t
is probable that a new tournament
will be organized.
The Y. NJ. C. A. alleys are in first
class condition, considerable time
having been spent on same during
the summer months, and the asso-
citation expects a big season. Sew
eral tournaments and leagues were
organized for the Y. M. G. A. mem
bers last season, and the new cam
paign will be run off in practically
the same fashion.
Considerable attention will be
given to younger members of the as
ISOLATION this winter, and also to the
female members of the association,
interested in this branch of sport.
Following the reorganization OF
the proposed tourney a schedule
will be prepared and the matches
will be started in about a week or
two.

Roller skating at the New Bruns-

the Powers Brothers, who promoted
the great winter sport at the New
brunswick avenue sport center"
last season is to have it's initial strar
of the season.
The promoters plan to run skating
along the same lines as last year
and to add numerous other special
attractions. The successful manner
in which they handled their under
taking in their first season here, re-
suited in followers of the sport from
every section of the county visiting
the local hall.
Races between male skaters and
events for female skaters, attracted
no little attention. and another feat
ure was the basketball game on roll
Ter skates. These events not only
drew out the skaters but also fol-
lowers of other branches of sport,
who turned out as spectators.
1t is probable that the promoters
will run about three nights a week
and one or two afternoons. The
purpose of having skating in the af-
ternoon, is to allow for those who
cannot visit the hall at night, and the
hours in the afternoon and evening
will be the same as last season.

NATIONALS RE
AGAIN BEATEN
Crack WI Team Beaten
on Home Court by Amboy
Five

The basketball tossers of Messrs.
Lowenkopf and Levin of this city
played the National Turner's off their
feet on the latter's home court on
Bruce street, Newark, last night and
in this way the state champions
registered their first travelling VIC
tory of the season. The final tally
was 1921.
Three victories are now credited
to the Amboys in as many starts, the
Turner'S having been defeated on
the local court a week ago Saturday
night, and the strong Jersey Sep
arates being SEN down to defeat in
last Saturdays encounter.
Amboy was represented by the
Handerhan, Regain, Eggers, Thomas
and Hansen quintet last night,
Dewey Schwankert playing with the
Turner's. McDermott, former New
ark K. of C. star inc more recently
star guard of Natre Dame College,
was in uniform but did not get into
the battle until the closing minutes
of the second period.
The first ten minutes of last
nights encounter was featured by
close guarding. The Bruce street
court is unusually long and not the
regular Wlul1s IL dud " bAS PAoS
ing difficulties last night the Turner's
court had a capacity crowd.
During the first part of the initial
half the fans witnessed a foul shoot
ing duel and honors were about even.
Pete Hansen tailed the first double
counter of the game, a basket from
long range, and before the period
ended "Blackie' Regain Gagged two
field goals on sensational plays. Gil"
Schwab made the Turner's only
double decker this half.
The visitors were off in their foul
shooting in the opening session.,
missing thirteen OF their nineteen
tries, and the Turner's made seven
out of twelve free throws. When
the first half whistle was blown the
tally stood 1873 in favor of Amboy.
Outplay Turner's
Both teams took the floor in regu-
lar fashion for the last half with the
exception that Eddie Schelling who
injured his hands in the first session
was replaced by Clark, the latter go
ing to guard and Teuschler to for
ward. Amboy added to its lead in
the opening minutes and after eight
minutes of play the state champions
had their opponents on the run.
In the last ten minutes of the
game the result was never in doubt.
With about three minutes to go Nc
Dermott went in at center and l..
Schelling went to an advanced berth.
During the last half Regan and
Eggers made a field goal apiece for
Amboy, while Schwankert, Teusch-
Ter, Schwab and Clark made one two
pointer apiece for the Turner's. The
foul shooting of the visiting team
was mainly responsible for the vic
tory, the champions caging fifteen
out of seventeen free throws. The
Turner's made four out of eight foul
chances.
The Turner'S committed thirty-six
fouls in this game, as against twenty
one by the visitors. The home team
fouled often in the second half last
night in an effort to stop the Amboy
squirt. Joe Horrichs refereed and
many Amboy fans witnessed the
game.
