S|L.ZER DENIES
STEVENS TALK
Writes Letter to Senator
Stevens Who He Attacked
in Monmouth

TRENTON, Oct. 25-Denying that
he had said that State Senator Will
liam A. Stevens, of Monmouth, had
voted for the Blackwell bill making
extreme cruelty a ground for divorce
I in New Jersey, Governor Silzer, in a
| letter today to Senator Stevens, de-
clared that the latter's course was
almost as bad as if he had voted for
it, seeing that Stevens had not voted
| on the measure either way.
This was very important legisla-
tion," the governor told Senator
Stevens, land it seems to me almost
as bad in such circumstances not to
vote at all as it is to vote for it. for
strong opposition and a voicing of
opposing sentiments would have
helped to defeat it."
The governor declared that his OBJ
ject in writing to Mr.. Stevens was to
correct the latter's statement that
MIR. Silzer had not given the facts
correctly in recent speeches at AS
bury Park and Long Branch.
The governor asserted that he did
not say Stevens voted for the Black
we'll measure, but that, on the coz
trary, the executive, at Asbury Park
had distinctly stated he could not at
the time say how Stevens voted on
the Blackwell bill in the last legisla-
ture.
Governor Silzer also denied having
said Stevens voted for the so-called
Road Grab" bills, that is, bills add
ing many miles of road to the state
highway system of New Jersey.
"On the road grab bills" said Sill
ger, 81 find that out of nine you
voted against three and thai you
failed to vote on six. 1 think you
should have credit for having voted
against three"
Silzer asserted that he would feel
every much ashamed" of himself II
he found he had deliberately or
through carelessness misrepresented
the public attitude of any man.
With regard to the six road grab
bills which Silzer said Stevens did
not vote upon either way, the COVER
nor declared Senator Stevens had sat
silent and permitted them to be
made into law with no protest on his
part.
zone of those you failed to vote
against was the notorious Mathis
bills-adding 45 miles to the system
and costing close to one-half a mil
lion dollars" charged Silzer.
Governor Silzer also protested
that he gave Stevens due credit for
having stood on the governors side
during the highway fight on the CON-
frmation of the four-man bi-parti-
san board.
IT do not believe, howeve:," de-
clared Sllzac, that because a man
does his duty in on5 particular and
misconceives If in q number of
others that he thereby absolves him
self from criticism when he is sub
hitting himself again to the voters

Tells Why He Voted

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1s.-In a
telegraphed statement printed in the
San Francisco Examiner today, Will
liam H. Mccarthy, president of the
Pacific Coast Baseball league, ex-
planned his reasons for casting the
deciding vote at yesterdays league
meeting in Portland. Ore, against the
new form of draft proposed by the
major leagues.
Mr.. McCarthy's statement said in
part:
The Pacific Coast league placed a
| fine of $500 on any club which ac-
cepts player after this date with the
draft privilege attached to contract
1t makes the player ineligible to play
in this league and forfeits all games
in which the player participates.
1T wiped out all previous player
| limits.
True, it became necessary for me
to exercise the right to vote as a di-
rector of this league with no consider
alton CT the right or wrong of the is
sue, with no other idea than to dis
credit me personally, instructed news
paper men to write the story of my
reputation hours in advance-then
in justice to the loyal four directors
who supported me, in justice to the
public who want progressive baseball

Central Quint Opens
Its Season Thursday
With Mortimer Jordan


Coach Stillwell's Central High
school basketeers are ready for the
opening game of their 1923 schedule.
Thursday night, at the Birmingham
Athletic club. the Crimsons will meet
the Mortimer Jordan outfit of Nor
ris in the first cage battle of the sea-
son.
Monday night the Central quintet
went through it's first practice game,
playing the First Methodists. AL
though playing on a strange court
and handicapped by the fact that 1t
was their first real taste of action,
the Crimsons showed to fair advan-
tage, and bid fair to have a successful
season this year.
In addition to Thursday nights
game with the Morris quintet, Central
has another important game on this
weeks schedule. Saturday night, as
an added attraction to the Athletic
clubs basketball program, Central
will meet Ensley in the first game of
the city championship prep series.
| The team that started against the
First Methodists Monday night fol-
| lows, Mills and Young, forwards
Anderson, center; Holder and Sanford,
guards. This is a veteran team with
the exception of Sanford, who Is serv-
ing his first year on the Crimson
quintet.
Mills and Young are guards of last
year, who have been shifted to for
ward, and are going well at their new
berths. Mills is good man to handle
| the "shove" shots under the basket
while Young comes in fast and has a
good eye for the loops.
Anderson has the height and
stamina necessary for good center
while Sanford and Holder are proving
a hard pair to get by on the defense

and in the game with First Metho-
dists

Coach Erwin has been working his

that they are in fair shape after their
hard game with Atlanta last Sat-
urday.
Bryan Played Well.
One clubber who played a great
brand of basketball against Atlanta
was High Pockets" Bryan, all re-
ports Of the game stated, and 1t is
highly probable that Coach Erwin will
use him quite bit from now on.
Bryan played like flash against
Atlanta, and, had the ball been fed
to him properly. would have scored at
least three field goals. This much
was garnered from conversation with
Birmingham folk who saw the game
in Atlanta last Saturday.
Hub Hahn also played a good game
against Atlanta. He started at CEN
ter and played such whirlwind bask-
etball that he shortly tired himself
out Then Toby Stubs and High
Pockets" Bryan took their turns at
the pivot post, and Atlanta scored
little in that direction.
Coach Erwin has been spending the
present week correcting the faults
that appeared in the Atlanta game.

JESS COMEBACK
Age Limit For Boxers Is Set
by Association
Delegates

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Tentative
endorsement of a national boxing
registration bureau. refusal to in
tervene in selection of championship
contenders or arbitrary award CT
ring titles, and recommendation that
the minimum age limit for boxing
participants be fixed at IS, with no
maximum age barrier, were outstand-
ing developments today at the clos
ing session of the two-day conven-
tion If the National Boxing associa-
, ton.
The question of Intervening to
prevent the proposed return heavy
weight championship bout between
Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard died
on the floor of the convention. The
associatien decided the matter was
outside it's jurisdiction and that any
judgment of the merits of the contest
rested with individual state boxing
authorities.
Discussion of the pending cham
pionship encounter, which Promoter
Tex Richard proposes tC, hold at
Boyles' Thirty Acres. Jersey City,
June 80 or July 4, developed a con-
census of opinion that Willard should
first engage in one or two trial
bouts to show his fitness fer another
title contest.
The Age Limit
Discussion of the age limit drew
criticism of the New York state
boxing commissions regulation per-
uniting only men between 81 and
So to participate in main bouts, but
1t was emphasized that the action CT
the association was not intended to
antagoniZe the New York body which
is not affiliated with it. Neither will
the recommendation affect existing
state laws some Of which allow box
ers under IS to participate. 1t was
the feeling of the convention that fit
ness of the Individual and not age
should be the determining factor.
The associations refusal to pick
champions or title contenders was
the result Of request that it help
determine the proper holder of a belt
donated for competition in the 140-
pound class.
Proposed bureau
The fate of the proposed national
boxing registration bureau, designed
as clearing house of pugilistic in
formation, rests with committee
appointed to examine the plan and
take mail vote among boxing COM
missions in the IS states which are
affiliated with the organization.
Richard T. Burke of New orleans
was unanimously elected president of
the association to succeed Walter H.
