fast games against the Union coun-
ty team which is improving greatly
under the coaching of Physical Di-
rector Taylor.
Amboy won the first game 1871,
but lost the second set-to, 15-11. The
third game proved to be a deuce con-
test, Amboy winning 1914 after both
sides had made several attempts to
secure the necessary two points In
succession following a 14-14 score.
The next game resulted in a victory
for Amboy, 1873, this sewing up the
match.

A st. Valentine day present in the
form of the eleventh straight win
was received by the local high school
varsity basketball team yesterday af-
ternoon when the Metuchen high
school basketeers were easily defeat
ed on the local court by a 1873 score.
This was the second win for Amboy
over Metuchen this season.
The outstanding features of yes
terday's encounter was the inability
of the brainy borough aggregation to
part the shreds from the field. All
of the visitors points were made on
fouls, the strong five man defense of
the locals "a too much of an
enigma for the visitors TO solve.
Ten men were used by Coach r.
s Waddell in yesterdays contest, the
password and defense of the locals
were good but the weakness in miss
ing easy shots under the basket con-
tinued. Six shots were taken by the
Metuchenites during the entire game.
Flashes of former brilliancy were
shown by the Crimson and White
players in yesterdays tussle particu-
larly in their passing. The locals
made eight points at the start of the
game before Zahn of the Metuchen
team tailed from the foul line. At
half time the score was 9-5 in favor
of the locals.
In the final period Amboy scored
ten points to three for the visitors.
Eight twin counters were made by
the locals, two apiece by Grieve,

ALL DECISIONS Of
MEXICO CITY MEET
WILL Be BINDING
Governments Of Both Repub-
lies Agree To Abide BY Con-
ference Agreements

MEXICO CITY, May 23.-(By AS
ISOLATED Press).-Should the United
States and Mexican delegates to the
pre-recognition conference, which Is
in session here with the purpose of
attempting to remove obstacles in
the way of recognition of the Obre-
gon administration by the United
States, solve the problem, the agree
ment reached would be binding up
on both the United States and Mexi-
can governments, it was authorita-
lively learned here today. The Gre
dentials exchanged at the inaugural
session of the conference empower
Raymond Ross and Senior Gonzales
Roa and Charles B. Warren and
John Barton Payne, to act respec-
lively, as the personal representa-
tives of President Oregon and
President Harding and also both
governments to observe any agree
ments which the delegates may
reach.
The failure of the Senate yester-
day to take up the petroleum legis-
lation recently enacted by the cham
/ err of deputies was taken as confir-
nation of reports that the Mexican
administration is making changes in
this bill intended to meet objections
to it expected by the foreign petro-
leum interests when the chamber of
deputies approved the measure last
month.
VAIN POINTS DHvHM.oPED
The three main points developed
during the first seven sessions of
the mixed commi ssion centered
about the understandings reached at
the conference last year in Wesh-
ington between Secretary of State
Mexican secretary of the treasury.
These points were: Resumption of
payments of foreign debt obliga-
tons; satisfactory Identification for
appropriated land. and settlement of
the petroleum controversy resulting
through the alleged retroactive and
confiscatory interpr eta tons of Arti-
Gle 81 of the Mexican constitution
of 1917.
During the presentation of tbs
case of the United States Mr.. War
rem insisted on the observance of
the principles of international law
over state and municipal observance
whenever the United States inter
ests ar right are solved. Senior
Gonzales Roa, in presenting Mexico's
attitude, which still remains unfin-
ished, has pointed out. first. that
the Lamont-De la Huerta agree
ment fulfills the foreign debt I'M
istration is preparing to levy a tax
on all lands in the republic with
the purpose of raising funds prior
to naturalization, of owners of ex-
propriated land, and, third. that
changes which the administration
plans to bring about in the pending
petroleum legislation will carry out
the petroleum understanding.
O o o
Oregon Is Quoted.
As additional assurance Senoy
Gonzales Roa quoted extensively
from declarations of President Obre-
gon, Secretary of State PAM and de-
cisions of the supreme court against
the retroativity of Article 81.

deviating in their course of insist
ing that The principles of interna-
tional law must prevail in the adj
justment of Mexico's foreign debt
