Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-11-26

In a contest featured by "wild
west shooting" the Perth Amboy Big
Five nosed out the Meadowbrooks,
of Newark. on the Auditorium court
Saturday night. Ed "Blackie" Re-
sgan tailed a foul with twenty sec
onds to go in the last half, making
the score 27-26 in the locals favor
and this was the final tally.
Ray "Sparky" Handerhan, also
known under numerous other aliases
as Sugar" "Bim," ETC., during his
seasons of activity on the court, was
directly responsible for the victory
of the champions on Saturday night.
Time after time, the light man of
the Big Five squad, eluded Frank
Bruggy, of Elizabeth, one of the
greatest artists the indoor game
boasts of, for q score.
In all, Handerhan tailed five times
from the field and three out of four
tries from the fifteen foot line. He
made the only cut-in shot of the
night, and this basket and the one
point he followed with, put the
Amboys on the right path to VIC
tory.
Saturdays night battle was a hard
one to referee and the eleventh man
admitted after the fray, that he had
missed many a foul principally be-
cause of the fact that consistent
foul calling would have spoiled the
game for the fans. Solador did
right in calling the foul made by
Sam Klugman on Regain with only
a few seconds to go. The Amboys
tailed their winning counter on this
free throw.
Center Trouble
On the first two toss-ups in CEN
ter by. Solador, 1t was apparent that
Chuck was in for a hard time. He
called a double foul both times, Pete
Eggers making a score the first time
and Jack Cremmens the second. The
official warned the two pivot men
numerous times after this, but the
dirty work in center continued
throughout the forty minutes of
play.
For the first ten minutes of Sat
urday's game, the scoring was I'M
usually light. Players on both
teams, however, were doing plenty
of popping particularly Bruggy
the 220 pound Betsytown backfeld
man.
Handerhan made the first field
goal of the game, a shot from be-
hind the Amboy foul line, and a min
ute or so later, Jiggs Donahue pop
ped a shot from a similar position
on the other end of the court. Brug
gy tailed two circus shots from 9
difficult angle on the side of the
court. and Donahue made a sho.
about the same as his first basket
For the home club, Estrin accounted
for the only other basket of the per
iod. The first half session ended 10

The Once Over
BY Fl. 1. PHILLIPS
MORE TREASURES REMOVED
FROM EGYPTIAN KINGS
TOMB BY EXPLORERS
DUNN AND GUNNER.
Sport Shirt Discovered With an Ace

Cake Of Yeast Points to DeS-
perate Attempt to Make
the King Work, They
Suspect.

HOANNER, Egypt (by camel and
sand-flea caravan. 20. Howe DUNN
and A. Lott Dummer, American
tombolOgists, who have discovered n
tomb believed from inscriptions over
the door to be that of King In-Mem-
Oriam and his queen, Here Li-Eth, con-
tinue to take out articles of great in
tcrest and historical value. At high
noon yesterday DUNN burst from the
tomb with what he thought was n
hand-cOlored portrait of In-Mem-
Oriam, but which turned out to be Il
stray king of hearts. 1t was found
up the sieve Of a sport shirt, and is
believed to indicate the king cheated
at cards.
Last evening drummer brought out
an ancient Egyptian telephone. The
receiver was off the hook. This is
believed to indicate that the king,
while trying to get number, had
been told to hold the wire 5000 years
ago and had complied faithfully ever
since.
New treasures brought forth by
DUNN and Drummer since the last re-
port follow: -..
CURIOUS BRASS CONTNINER
with hose-like attachment, and metal
direction plate upon which the follow
ing inscription can be made out:
Il NCASE OFIRE TU RNB OTTOM
SID EUP."
Careful study leads Psychologists to
believe this a fire extinguisher. If
so, it proves the king had an idea
where he was going.
JARS OF RAISINS, one yeast
cake. and a quart of alcohol. This
combination was found on the kings
bier. Evidently the intention was TO
mix same and sprinkle his highness.
1t is assumed this is the only way
they could get the king to work.
SKIS. a pair of skis were found
under a rug in the northeast corner.
These have caused more curiosity
than the sled discovered last week.
There are but two solutions. to this
mystery" said drummer. Either the
king was silly or the weather fore
caster had predicted snow in Egypt,

Trifles That Cost
BY II. Arlington Bruce.

From the house organ of a public
utility corDoration-the Baltimore
Consolidated Gas, Electric Light, and
Power Company reprint in part an
appnaI TO its office employees, an ap-
penl which might well be gwen
thoughtful consideration by office
workers everywhere:
Suppose you have a bunch of let
tiers that YOU wish TO keep together.
You couldn't tie them with a
string: that would be neither neat nor
appropriate. and you haven't string
anyhOw-nOr have yOu a rubber band.
What are you going to do about
it?
"Nhat became of all those rubber
bands you had in your desk last
week? There were at least 100 of
them in q manila envelope.
You scramble in your desk fran
tically. turning everything upside
down until your desk drawer is a
tumble of odds and ends that looks
like Il rummagc sale; and finally, in
a fit Of irritation, you order a new
supply.
Now the question is, What did
become of the pile of rubber bands you
had?
How about the letter clips. pen
points, erascrs, scratch pads, carbon
paper, and pencils?
pencils. Thousands of them, good
and bad. big and little, hard pencils
and soft pencils, long pencils and
short pencils. are thrown away,
loaned. or misplaced every day. Thou
sands of dollars year are paid. out
for just that one item.
"Iou realize that efficient work
cannot be done with a desk in dis
arranged condition. and you promise
yourself to put things in order.
For the proper care Of all these
necessary small appurtonanccs you
secure four or five small pastcboard
boxes. or better still ask your depart
ment head for a small wood or tin
tray. Then all these things will be
accessible for your next demands"
To workers who give no thought to
the total cost of pens, pencils. paper

adjustment. all this may seem fuss
ing about triflcs. What if there is

much thereby.
Actually the loss may amount to
many thousands of dollars a year. In
one big corporatiOn-the Pcnnsyl-
vania Railway COmpany--it has been
demonstrated that prevention of un-
necessary waste of this sort means a
yearly saving to the company of hun
drcds of thousands of dollars.
Such saving, moreover. reacts to
the benefit of the workers themselves.
For. obviously. everything that helps
to fortify financially the firm by
which they are employed helps to in
sure for them continuance Of en-
ployment, salary increases, increases
in wages, and the occasional payment
of bonuses.
More important still, out of habit

Rest here, forever free:

But, Oh, We leave not thee.

that Mr.. Bonar Law took the right view
under the existing circumstances. Per,
haps Mr.. Lloyd-George, too, is of that
opinion. This is not to accuse him OF
having stultfied himself-at least to
a degree greater than that which marks
the average politician in combat with
his rival. If the little Welshman were
in the saddle Great Britain might put
over some such project as he was
urging upon his successor. But, for
that matter, it is doubtful that the pres
ent situation in Europe, created by
Frances invasion of the Ruhr region,
would have come about if Mr.. Lloyd
George had remained at the head of
his country,s government. 1t is signifi-
cant, at any rate, that the French did
not actually kick over the traces, despite
their many threats to do so, until after
the downfall of the Lloyd-George gov
eminent.
That development cntailed various
changes in international relations. Pre-
viously. the United States government
was on the point of offering ITS friendly
offices to the veNed countries of Europe.
With Mr.. Lloyd-George out of the way,
the French hoped, skipped and Jumped
into Germany, the United States ceased
its preparations for all international con-
fercnce--Or whatever it was that Presi-
dent Harding had in view-and the
Turks, who apparently had about de-
cidcd to "be good" began boldly to
issue ultimatums.
. All of these changes were subsequent
to the overthrow of the Lloyd-George
government and they took place in
rapid succession. Therefore it seems
reasonable to interpret them as results
of general appraiSement of the Bonar
Law government. Both the French and
the Turks regarded that government
as weak-lacking in definite convic-
tons, to begin with, and also in de-
What former Premier Ll0yd-George
had to say about the Ruhr situation
must have been extremely embarrassing
to Mr.. Bonar Law, and to all who had |
been instrumental in bringing about the
change in the government. One might
easily think that the former prime min
lister would be the last to entrust the |
present government with such Il deli
cate undertaking as the one he urged
upon it. Mr.. Lloyd-Gcorge is a shrewd
politician, and perhaps never before had
he displayed the qualities of such in
more subtle way than he did in ap-
pcaling to the government to take
step for which it is manifestIvr not
qualified.
