GUILTY OF MURDER

Foolhardiness, mixed with ignorance
lies at the bottom of most of the fatal
tiles from poison liquor, so far as the
one who drinks it is concerned. Those
who sell il: can plead no such extenuat-
ing facts. They are guilty of murder
quite as much as it they shot down
their victims in cold blood When the
law begins to deal with the purveyor
of poison whisky as it would with one
who deliberately gave poison to an
other, with fatal results, there will be
less of it.--Evanston News-Index.

My own observation, as well as that

The Perth Amboy Y. NJ. c. A.
volley ball teams went to Metuchen
on Saturday night for the purpose of
giving an exhibition of how the game
Is played and at the same time fur
nish the varsity team some practice
for its Chicago trip next week. Ow-
ing to the driving rain storm only a

regular lineup consisting of Captain
Ellwood Johnson, Austin Hornsby,
Mat Melko, Francis Oliver. George
Sharp, Gene Parker and Derben

playing with the second team in each
game. The second team was made
UP of Captain Herbert Rankin. Joe

that Perth Arnboy's second team Is
capable of putting up opposition

Third Time This Year

that completely bewildered their op-
ponents, the Perth Amboy Five an
nexed their thirty-eight victory Of

tional Turner'S of Newark at the To-
cal Auditorium court Saturday night
by a cor of S5 to 81.
The local champions had admin
istered a double beating TO the Turn
ers earlier in the teason, but the
Newark quintet contended that with
their regular lineup in action against
the Anboy netmen they could turn
up a victory, With their strongest
possible array of talent the Turner's
went into an early lead when Gil
Schwab made good three attempts
from the foul line.
The local f~avorites then COM
menced and when hostilities were
cut short by Referee Farley at the
end of twenty minutes, the Audito-
rum warriors had registered six
field goals and five put OF eight foul
tries, giving them a total of seven
teen points as against the eight ae-
CURED by the Turner's. Schwab and
Clark were the only Newarkites 10
score from the field in this stanza.
Four fouls out Of six attempts
brought the Nationals score to
eight.
The second eanto developed into a
duel between Pete Hanson and Gil
Schwab as to which man would
score the ost. Pete has been pitted
against Schwab every time that that
dribbler has performed against the
locals and both men gave a wonder

Local Field Tomorrow
Afternoon
II. S. Corresnondent


The Perth Amboy high school
baseball team viii receive its first
real test Of the season tomorrow af-
ternoon on the Raritan Copper
Works diamond whe they
clash with the Leonardo high school
outfit. This contest is the first n
on the regular schedule with any
high school team. The local facul-
ly nine fell before the onslaught of
the Crimson and White ~cavorters
last week in the initial game.
Coach Robert S. Waddell predicts
that with a little warm weather his
men will be able to show at their
best. The faculty game was played
while a miniature sandstone blew
over the field and a strong north
wind did its best to hinder the
schoolboys. The coach has had his
men going through some drills all of
last week and practice is to be-con-
tinued today.
With Nuns" Nedswicki, the crack
Polish hurler, in form there is little
to be feared. The mainstay Of the
Crimson and White pitching staff is
being groomed to start the encount-
en- tomorrow. "Freckles'' Wilson. the
diminutive hurler, is expected to play
an important part in the teams sue
cess this year. Ray Carbon should
also be of benefit to the coach, Jaf-
fee, the only southpaw on the staff.

through the Westerfield, Martin,

tomorrow against the seashore az

the outfield will be considerably
strengthened when the Iineun is
trotted out for the two veterans Of
last year will be on hand, namely,
Rassmussen and Larson. These two
young men have been busy with the
school play but with that over they
can now devote themselves 10 the
national game. Larson will prob
ABLY be the lead-off man on account
OF MS height and perform in left or
right field while Rasmussen will
probably be in the sunfield. Behind
the bat there was a weakness in the
FACULTY game but this was probably
due to nervousness as Wilmer made
ms first start in a school game.
Just how the visiting team will
lineup has not been bv
the down state management but as
other years it is expected thar
they will come here with the vowed
intention of scalping the Ambov
team.
The crowd at the faculty game
was not as large as expected and a
larger attendance is looked for to-
morrow afternoon. Season tickets
are on sale but are going very slow
ly. The game will begin at 3:45 D.
m. 1t has not been announced who
will umpire.
That the game with South River
high school will have a Champion
ship flavor on May IS is seen in the
fact that the South River team has
eliminated New Brunswick high
from the running by defeating them
last week in an exciting game.
