FL. S. Correspondent

In a Comedy Of Errors" the
Perth Amboy High School diamond
warriors easily downed the colors OF
the Faculty outfit in a five inning
game yesterday afternoon OIL the
Raritan Copper Works field. It wal
the initial encounter on the high
school schedule and the final score
a 19-3. The game was shorten
kd ON account OF the oncoming
Darkness and also because the score
keepers were running out OF lead
and the field was becoming flooded
With pencil shavings.
Elliot Wilson making his debut in
high school baseball held the highly
yaunted faculty team in the palm OF
his hand for the latter were success
full in getting but four scratch
singles. The three runs which the
teachers scored were the product OF
varsity errors. Ray Carbon pitch
Ing to six batters struck out four of
them. Waddell and Dvourchak
were pounded numerically. Fifteen
hits were secured off the deliveries
of these two boxmen. Dvourchak

vOlLEY BALL TEAMS PLAY
SIX FAST PRACTICE GAMES

Six fast anne were played during
the practice session of the varsity
voliey bail team and Capt. Heb"
Rankin's second team at the Y. M.
c. A. last night, the varsity outnt
losing the first three after which
they won the next three. The result
of last nights games promise some
close contests at Meeuchen on Satur-
day night, when the varsity n an
other Amboy team will play an ex-
hibition match for the purpose OF
giving the varsity men practice.
In order that all four of the var
sity spikers might play In every
game, one OF these men will play
with the second team IN each game
on Saturday night at Metuchen. This
will do away with the need OF one
varsity spiker being idle for each
game. 1t is likely that Bartholo-
new, the regular varsity set-up man
will be on hand for Saturday nights
game. His place was taken by Doc
Bedell last night, the other men on
the varsity squad being the regu-
a consisting of Austin Hornsby.
Francis oliver. Mat Melko. Ellwooo
johnson, George Sharp and Gene
Parker.
Playing with Rankin's team las
night were GAIA Chizmadia, jos
Frantic, John Melko. Gilbert Peakes
and Walter Oliver. This combina'
ton worked effectively forcing the
varsity men to the limit In the three
games which the first string mer
won after losing three in q row.

H. S. CORRESPONDENT

H. S. CORRESPONDENT
Eight wins and four losses mark
ed the record OF the high school
girls basketball team during the
past season. This is quite remark
able considering the fact that the
coach, Miss Elizabeth kirkpatrick,
had to develop an entirely new sex
tet. This was Miss Kirkpatrick's first
year here as director of girls ath-
letics.
OF the championship 1921-22 team
there were left but two girls who
had seer any real service and with
these two as a nucleus the new coach
started to develop a winning quintet.
The veterans referred to are Miss
Helen Schultz and Captain Alice
Bjork. From the inter-class games
a wealth of material was obtained.
For the first time in many years
the team was composed mostly of
members of the three lower classes
as there were only two seniors on
the squad, namely, the Misses Paw
olosky and Schultz.
All doubt as to whether or not
the school would have a crack SEX
tet as in former years was dispelled
after the first game when the South
Amboy High School representative
sextet was swamped under an ava
lanche of points, the final score
reading 55-6. In this game Miss
Kirkpatrick gave nearly her whole
squad a chance to show their wares.
In the next encounter the Grim
son and White wearers lost to the
crack Asbury Park high girls by a
ten point margin. However, this de-
feat was evened up when the sea-
shore six came here and was de-
feated.
In the third game Of the season
another defeat was melted out to the
locals by the high class Red Bank
high school feminine outfit by a two
poin. margin. Miss Helen Schultz,
forward of the sextet, was missing
from the lineup and part of this de-
feat can be attributed to her abb
sence
What was probably the best game
of The year was the one with
Prin ceton high school here. The To-
Gals scored a one point victory in an
extra period contest. In the next
game something went radicafy
they dropped a loosely played strug.
gle to st. Patrick's high school al
Elizabeth. Revenge for this defeat
was obtained when the Betsytown
six came to this city and were liter.
ally swept Off their feet by a 81
count. Red Bank high. once more
downed the locals on their home
court after the loss at Elizabeth.
At this point the Amboyans rams
up five successive wins and closed
the season in a blaze of glory. TIL.
