The Perth Amboy Y. M. c. A. vol
ley ball team will swing into action
tonight on its own court when it
meets the crack Brooklyn Central
"Y" sextette. This will be the mi
tial appearance of the local team on
the court this season and incident
ally will be the first game played
by it's members since it won fourth
place in the national championship
tournament at Chicago last spring.
In the teams lineup tonight will
be five of the men who played at
Chicago and a workout last Friday
would indicate that the team has
lost none of its speed but rather will
show up even better this year than
last.
Last season marked the first time
these players had ever worked to-
gether on the court but the games
played by them resulted in machine
like precision being perfected which
made it difficult for any team to de-
feat Amboy. While in Chicago the
team was the recipient of praise
from spectators who watched the
play throughout, many of whom de-
clared the local outfit had the
strongest defensive team in the
tournament. The ability to cover
the floor speedily, break UP spikes
and play a smooth game was the
outstanding feature of the teams
play.
The team will be somewhat handl-
capped tonight because of lack OF
practice as this game was accepted
on the spur of the moment before
the varsity had been selected. The
players, however, are in trim anc
can be expected to play a marc
game. The match will be for the
best three out of five games. Play'
ing with Amboy in the first game
will be Capt. George Sharp, Joe
Frantic, Gene Parker, Mat Melko

son, with Gilbert Peakes n Jon

 POlOistS How to GallOp

London, Nov. 20---The speed Am ericans put into their polo playing made a strong impression on Lord Cholmondeley. one Of the British horsemen who has just returned home after participating in q series of matches in the New York area. He says. however, that the American do not have many really first grade pom ies and he thinks the British Ameri- can championship match next sum mer ought to be an even money bet, provided the British make up two teams not later than the end of May and land their ponies in New York six weeks before the battle and the players month before,

 When we first arrived all three teams were painfully slow. My own ponies appeared to be third class. as they had acquired the bad methods Of their masters, who were checking on all their shots. The longer we played the more we got into the American style. and my own ponies appeared more than 10 hold their own against the best American ponies"

Martin, air service officer of the Sixth Army Corps Area, T.. S. A, in an address here at the air transportation conference of T.. $. A. service officers with the National Transportation In stiute. Because the aircraft business cannot develop and the American public is afraid to fly, he said, the country is in dangerous position.
 There is practically no manufac- turing concern i'm this country in position to go into the production of airplanes or air engines in any quan- tity today" said Major Martin. ''It takes a year to train pilot. Mor- tality will he tremely heavy in the first air fight. Requirements Of men and material will be approximately 100 per cent
 "0ne of the greatest needs is to build up the confidence of the people so they will use the airways. Ameri- can people will not fly today because they feel it is taking their lives in their hands. Travelling by air is a commonplace purpose in Europe. If the public could understand that the equipment and pilots pass rigid gov ernment tests, confidence might be built up so that people would use the airvays and would support a pro- gram for their extension. Then we could have a live and growing air craft industry and could produce both ships and pilots in any quantity needed"

Gets Chairs Made of
Tree Planted bv Queen

bingham, Mass.-WoOd from an oak
tree planted by Queen Elizabeth went
into the making of three chairs which
have been shipped from bingham, Nor

the English bingham, to the Bay state
township which was founded by men
from the Norfolk town in the Seven
teenth century.
Sixteen years ago the top of the tree
planted by the great queen In Kimber-
ly park died and 1t became necessary
to fell it,. Mr.. lofts bought the timber
and made the chairs, which were de-
signed by Hugh Mottram after a model
of chair in the period when the Hing
ham men emigrated to America. Mr.
lofts stipulated that one of them
should be used by the chairman OF the
board OF setectmen, one placed In the
first parish meeting house, erected in
1851, and the third to go to the minis
ter of the First Parish church in per-
petuity.

by the vertebrae Of the spine which
enables an X-ray to be taken, showing
where the iodine has been deposited,
and where the deposit has been inter-
rupted by the tumor. The exact spot

described as delicate but not ex-
tremely difficult, nor beyond the
power of any good surgeon.
