 THE AGE-HERALD [ MnnfnnlnerX An Aue 20

Favorable report was made at the senate today on the bill requiring the nomination of candidates for public offices by majority vote and requiring 9 second primaries if candidates fail to receive clear majorities in the first primaries
 The report was made by the com mittee on privileges and elections after an early morning sesion dur ing which arguments in support of the bill were made by E. E. Evins, chairman Of the state democratic executive committee and against the bill by A. G. Patterson. president, and Frank p. Morgan, associate member of the public service commission.
 The arguments indicated that big fight had started which. will continue until the legislature has passed final Iy on the bill either f&vo7ably or ad- versely.
 Chairman Evins declared that the state democratic convention adopted a resolution calling for the abandon ment of the present system whereby only one primary is held and second choice voters are permitted. He said the passage of the bill would be in line with the declaration of the democratic party's platform.
 Mir. Patterson and Mir. Morgan iH- sisted that the movement was an ef fort to control elections and that the democratic convention did not write into the platform any provision call ing for a change in the system. While resolutions were adopted, Mir Patter- son pointed to the debate on the floor of the convention to show that mem bers of the convention did not re- gard the proposal as binding upon the legislature CT upon any other per. son

Charley Sher and David Preacher
will be the only basketball tossers
from this section to play with the
Beauvais Post, American Legion,
basketball team Of Tottenyiilv during
the coming season, according to an
announcement made by Manager
Preacher this morning.
The post is to have a travelling
team only, as it's W building in
Tottenville will not Re completed
until the end Of the 1923-24 season.
For this reason Manager Preacher
is DESTROYS of having a quintet capa-
BILE of holding its own with any of
the basketball teams to be organized
in this section.
Preacher and Sher both played
with the Tottenville representative
team during the latter part of last
season, although Sher started with
the Perth Amboy quintet of Messrs.
Lowenkopf and Levine. Preacher
will occupy a forward position dur
ing the coming season.. and Sher

positions will be filled by men from
Stapleton and other cities in that
section of the island. Manager
Preacher is ready to receive commu-
nications from teams having a homo

Emil Bohnsack Has Alleys in
Fine Shape for Big
Season

After several weeks of work, the
bowling alleys managed by Emil
Bohnsack, on Smith street, have
been put in fine shape and the man
ager has announced that he will
throw them open to the public this
evening.
For a good many years, the Smith
street alleys, have beer a center for
the bowling activities of this section
and Mr.. Bohnsack is confident that
the 1923-24 season will be the most
successful since the pre-war days.
Two seasons ago, n third of the
Perth Amboy City league bowling
league games, were rolled on the
Smith street alleys, and a majority
of the individual championship
matches in that season, also were
staged on the Bohnsack alleys. If
a league is organized this season,
the Bohnsack alleys will be used for
an equal share of the matches.
Several tournaments are already
being planned by the manager, in
addition to events which are run
regularly on the metropolitan al
.feys. 1t is probable that these al
leys will boast of a representative
team, once the season is well under
way.
Local bowlers using the Smith
street alleys. have planned limbering
up matches for tonight. After to-
night, the alleys will be open every
afternoon and evening for the bal
ance of the season.

ton. For several reasons Manager
Poulsen was unsuccessful in arrang-
ing a game or a series with the

Pete Burnett and also the Plainfield

noon.
For today's tilt, the victors will
use Lorenzo or Lidgate behind the
plate, Smith, Burnett, McEnroe and
Stinson or Rudy in the indeld and
Loeser, McAuliffe and Bill Flynn in
the outfield. Burnett does not play
with the Amboys in Sunday contests,
as he recently signed with the Rec

plenty of action from start to fin
ish. Two thirty minutes halves will
be played, and there will be a short
