NEWARK-One of the best mem
bers of the Newark fire department
is a dog.
Rex is his name. He wears no
hero medal. but he has rescued more
people from death by fire than most
dremen.
Born in a fire house, illustrious
son of Irish Paddy. for years a noted
fire dog in Newark. Rex has an
swered than 1000 alarms in
seven years OF service at the fire
house of No. 2 Truck in Plane st.
Captain John Garrett, n of Rex's
pals, says;
THAT dog knows the box num-
bers as well as any OF us. Some
times he rides on the truck, but
usually he runs to a fire under his
own power-and while running to
answer an alarm he has eve yet
made the wrong turn at a street
corner"
Rex loves fires and hates burglars,
~drunkards and bootleggers. He has
rescued many people and he has
helped capture a number of erim-
inaIs. Once while still a pup he
went into a cellar where a gunman
was holding the police at bay and
captured the man by leaping on
him, knocking him down and hold
ing him by the throat until help
came.

SEPARATE: FIVE
EASILY WINS

The Newark Whirlwand basket
ball team did not furnish the oppo-
s!tionexpected last night and as a
result the Roosevelt Separate quin-
tet Of Messrs. Jerome Jacobwitz and
Alfred Nannen ronped away to a
41-2S victory.
With Pete Eggers, Sam Denberg,
Freddy Glochau, Jiggs Donahue and
Jimmy Donovan showing at their
best the Whirlwinds soon were left
in the rear. The borough Gepresen-
tatives held the upper hand almost
from the start.
The Whirlwinds did not appear
with the lineup expected and this
accounts for the outcome of the
game.
The attendance on this occasion
was somewhat small and it is prob
able that as a result there will be
no more home games in the borough
this season.
In a preliminary game last night
the Roosevelt Center girls defeated
the New York Bears in a closely
contested game.

BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL E l.

Two basketball games will be
played on the local high school court
today. The girls play Princeton this
afternoon and the South Amboy
quintet will oppose the boys in a
contest here tonight.
After departing from their train
ing camp this ear members of the
New York Giant squad will split, the
regulars playing over the same route
as In former years while the rockies
will take another course back to
their home lot.
Although the grandstand and
standing at the Argonne hotel
every night is pretty well taken up
by persons watching the 1remen's
league games, greater interest is ex-
pected before the ending of the tour
ney in April.
During the latter part of March
vthe Patrolmen's Benevolent Associa-
ton of the local department will
stage a boxing show in the local
Auditorium.
A great many visitors are expected
at the indoor range of the Perth
Amboy Rifle Grub tonight. The reg
ular Friday night match will be
rolled.
Judging from the game put UP by
the Troys in this city on Wednesday
night the Perth Amboy5 will have to
so some to beat this outfit at Column
bia Park in Jersey City on Sunday
afternoon.
little has been done to date in the
way of baseball deals but some big
surprises may be sprung before the
opening of the big league season.
Willie Curry was knocked out for
the first time during his boxing ca
reer in his bout with Billy Murphy
at the Staten Island Boxing Club on
Monday night.
Interest in girls basketballin this
vicinity is conferred almost entirely
i'll contests between teams from
nearby towns. The Roosevelt Cen
ter-South Amboy Independent game
in the local hall is keenly awaited.
After tonight's match only three
sets of games remain to be played
before the termination of the first
