CARTERETF FIVE
IN REAL TEST
Woodbridge Boys Should Give
Borough Team Hard Game
Sunday

C~arteret's representative basket
ball combination, known as the Car
teret Separates, will be considered a
suitable opponent for the leading
teams in this section of the state if
it can pull through to victory in the
game with the Woodbridge Big Five
at Coughlin's Auditorium in the bor-
ough on Sunday night.
Irv Martin, pivot man for the
Michelin Tire Company of Midtown,
is rated as the best center in Mid
dlesex county today. Teamed up
with his brother Bill, BUS Torch,
Monk" Mesick and either Gaddison
or Hughes, a majority of them court
companions from his Parish House
days, Irv will be a hard man to beat.
Several practice sessions have been
held by the Woodbridge passers this
week, and in addition to this Irv
played one game with the tiretown
representatives. The Carteret team
opened the season last Sunday night
by downing the colors of the Light
nings of South Amboy in a hard
fought contest.
This years borough team is made
up of YAK" Lowenkopf, Chip"
Cutter and Joe Coughlin, all of Car
teret, and Charley Brownmiller,
John Bradley and Bob Handerhan
of this city. Rufie Allen, former
basketball star, is the eleventh man
on the floor. Every week the main
game will be started promptly at
$3.50 o'clock and there will be dane
ing as usual.

If the basketball team organized

high school this winter is as success

Coach r. S. Waddell last season, the

State League Match on Bohn-
sack Alleys Here This
Evening

An interesting bowling match will
be rolled on Bohnsack's alleys to-
night, when the local representa-
tive team of the Public Service en-
cages the Essex Station team.
The main reason for the game to-
night being showered with plenty
of interest is because the local team,
If they win, will lay a stronger claim
to first place in the league standing.
At present the local bowlers are in
second place and only two games
behind Newark, the top notcher.
The Newark team has won five and
lost one, while the locals have won
four and lost two.
Stephen Parzygnat is captain of
the local bowling team and with
weekly practice sessions is mould
ing into fine shape for the season.
The league games will be played
until the early part of March. Par
zygnat is confident that his team
will win the season prize and his
team is working hard to bring about
their captains hopes. w. b. Ben
nett, of the local Public Service, is
also forming a team and there is
little doubt that, with the best of
both combination representing the
local plant, Amboy will make a
splendid showing in the league re-
suits.
A big crowd is expected out to
see the contest tonight and the first
ball is expected to be rolled about
s o'clock.

GUTHRIE UNIQUE AMONG
BASEBALL OFFICIALS
Br RuLY A

Umpiring is a rather colorless
profession. 1t is the duty of the
umpire TO call the plays as he sees
them. When the ball is delivered
by the pitcher to the batsman 1t is
either a ball or a strike and the base
runners are either out or safe. The
work of the umpire is largely me-
chanical, it is a position that offers
few possibilities for color.
Among the men who have UNI
pired in the major league for the
past two-score years have been
many great umpires, but few real
characters, men with color. Tim
Hurst. silk O'Loughlin, Bill Byron
and Bill Guthrie were a few of the
unusual characters who nave held
the indicator. Hurst and O'Lough-
lin have passed away, while Byron
and Guthrie are back in the minors.
In an official capacity l have been
identified with all four, each had
his own unusual style. Tim Hurst
was the master at repartee. SILK

diamond, no one dared doubt his
statement that he missed one

A Unique Character
The last of the four unique UNI
pires who have graced the majors
was Bill Guthrie, who broke into the
American League with me late in
the fall of 1922. And believe me,
Bill Guthrie is a mighty good um-
pire. 1 shall never forget Bits
opening remark when he greeted me
In the dressing-room at Detroit.
"Well, kid, here I am. have been
shooting al this league for Is years

High School Independents, and made
a creditable showing. Several of the
Passaic High School Independents
will play against Breslow's Y. M. H.
five on the local Auditorium court
next Thursday night.
What would be sweeter than to
see a Perth Amboy high school bas-
ketball team ira eel to the western
coast to battle for the high school
court championship of the country.
This should be a worth while goal
for the boys who are thinking of
making the team, and they should
start now to give the greatest CO.
operation to their coach and the
faculty.
Start Practice
AS soon as the final game on the
football schedule is played, the coach
will prepare for the reorganization
of the basketball team. There are a
number of good men from last years
squad, but according to the coach
everyone turning out for practice
will be given a fair chance to make
the team.

No Close Decisions

Like O'Loughlin, Guthrie didn't
take much stock in the close ones,
to him the decisions were either this
or that. the this being accompanied
with the umpire's way of motioning
a runner out, and the that with the
signal of safe. There were no close
ones, either this or that.
During the two months Bill Guth-
rie worked with me he kept me con-
stantly in good humor. He was orig
inal in every way. Any ball player
who ever won an argument from
Guthrie deserved it. Bill was an I'M
