Urban shoclter, star pitener of

pitches harder on Babe Ruth than
any other player in the American
League. Shocker says there are
any number of reasons. First. the
desire he has to keep the big fellow
from hitting. and secondly, if you
don't work carefully on him each
time at the kat you are liable tq

Due to the fact that enc team l.
forced to lay off each week, the
representative bowling outfit CT the
local Y. M. c.. A., is without a New
Jersey state league match for to-
night or tomorrow night.
AS a result of this schedule ar
rangement and the fact that the
holiday season is about to start, the
Jefferson street bowlers will not roll
again in the state league until after
New Years day. The schedule COM
mittee decided not to book games
for the Christmas period, as 1t ~
often impossible for the regular
teams to put in an appearance for
contests near a holiday.
Last Friday night, the Amboy
bowlers travelled to Passaic and lost
two out of three games 10 the North
Jersey outfit, in a hard fought
match. Previous to this set. the

To improve his jumping ability,
the center of a basketball team
should practice springing, stretching
and reaching. This may be done by
exercises that approximate game
conditions. Have some one throw the
ball up and try to time the direction
and the height of it. An erect posi-
ton Is best, the touching hand about
level with the shoulder. Spring from
the floor, stretch and reach as high
as It Is necessary to touch the ball on
its downward course Timing and
precision are essential. The arm

must not touch the ball on its up
ward course, as this is Illegal.
