80 PERCENT OPPOSED
TO POLITICAL PARTY

but hat he had changed his opinion
as to the ~adyisability Of such a party
after his experience in Illinois.
Oppose Committee Report.
Delegate MeVey, Chicago Fedora
ton of Labor, in discussing the ques-
ton, said in part:
| am opposed to the report of the
committee. | want to say further, in
justice to myself and to those back
in Chicago who put this resolution be-
fore you, that we r not communists
and do lot want to have that stigma
attached to us. We realize that the
feeling in this convention would
cause some of the delegates to think
the resolution was introduced by
communists.
This resolution was introduced in
the Chicago Federation of Labor and
was fought by that bunch; they were
not for it and did not want it, but
they went to the convention of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor and
there turned turtle, got behind the
resolution and in that way were in
strumental in having the Illinois State
Federation convention against it. The
convention took the position that as
they had been sponsors for and had
fathered the Farmer-Labor party in
the state of Illinois they would not
do anything in the convention that
would go against their own child. 1t
was because these other people we're
behind the resolution that the con-
vention in Decatur defeated it.
81 believe the only way we will ever
accomplish anything that will be of
lasting benefit to the workers will
be through political action. You can
not get away from the fact that the
political and the economic questions
in this country are hinged together.
We may get laws put through the leg
islature from time to time, and pos
sibly they may be of benefit to labor,
but what is the outcome? They re-
main on the statute books a limited
time, and then when the bosses see
they are not getting us as they want
us, they go to the judiciary. Then
what happens? They throw it in the
air, say it is unconstitutional and we
lose what We have gained.

VOLLEY BALL
TEAM 6 FAST

The first practice of the season
was held by members of the Y. M.
G. A. varsity ball squad last night in
preparation for the opening match to
be played here next Tuesday night
against Brooklyn Central and the
showing brought out the same speed
which was evident last season.
The team, representing the var
sity, was made up of four of those
who played in the national champ
ionship tournament at Chicago,
George Sharp, Mathew Melko, Aus
ten Hornsby and Gene Parker, and
two other varsity men, Joe Frantic
and Gilbert Peakes. Francis Oliver,
Ellwood Johnson and Iserben w.
Bartholomew, the other three men
who played at Chicago with the var
sity, were unable OF be on hand last
night.
Opposing the six men representing
the varsity were Whitney Lesson,
Chris Nielsen, Herbert Rankin,
doc" Bedell, John Janderup and
John Melko. The two teams played
four games and in none of them
were the seconds able to get more
than six points. This showing was

The men who will represent the

the volley ball committee consisting
of N. Christian Nielsen, Rev. Will
bert Westcott, Walter II. War; and
Physical Director L. J. Keyes.
No admission is being charged for
the match with Brooklyn, the public
being invited to attend. A large
gallery is expected to be on hand to
see the state champions get into &C
ton again. Women are invited as
well as men. Chick Warter will
handle the whistle in the match
WHICH will probably consist of the
best three out of five games.

Jefferson Street Association
Representatives Travel for
State League Match

With their success of last Satur-
day night foremost in their minds,
the Y. NJ. C. A. bowlers of this city
will travel to Ridgewood tonight for
their third match in the recently
re-organized Y. NJ. C. A. state cir
cult.
In their initial set of the season,
the Amboys were beaten two out of
three starts by the Bayonne City
team, on the North Jersey alleys,
and last Saturday night in the locals
first home match of the season, Eliz-
abeth lost two out of three games.
An extra frame was necessary to
decide the winner of last weeks
match, as Elizabeth had won the
first game, Amboy the second and
the two teams were tied after the
regular ten frames had been rolled
in the rubber contest" The home
club outrolled their Betsytown OPP
ponents by twelve pins in the extra
frame.
The visitors will lineup in regular
fashion tonight, Raymond, Henry
Simonsen, Wiberalske, Pemberton
and A. Simonsen. Followers of the
quintet are confident that these bow
lers will bring another champion
ship to the local association. Am

league is believed to be the largest
ever formed by the associations of
this state.

When the locals take the court
tonight against the padded" New
ark combination, it is believed, that
Eddie Regain and Ray Handerhan
will occupy the advanced berths, and
Pete Hansen and Dewey Schwartz
ert, the backf1eld positions. Pete
Eggers will be at center, and Cy
Estrin, a Newark star, will be in
readiness to answer any emergency
call.
Outstanding Stars <
Opposed to the local club tonight
will be Jackie Cremmens and Frank
Bruggy, two of the best basketball
men in the country. Cremmens is
an excellent center and would have
been jumping for the local club If
it had not been for his desire to
"ho1d off" pending consideration of
a basketball offer in the west. The
Newark pivot man is listed on the
roster of the Glens Falls club in the
New York state league.
Bruggy, a backstop for the Phila-
delphia American league team, of
Connie Mack, during the summer
months, is a corking man in the
backfield. He is also a consistent
scorer. Court critics say that Bruggy
is as helpful to any club as was
Horse" Haggerty to the Celtics, and
in addition to this, he is generally
one of the best scorers for his team.
Last season Bruggy managed the
Elizabeth club in the Metropolitan
league and during the past several
seasons, he has performed with
some of the leading clubs in this
section of the country.
The remainder of the men on the
Meadowbrook roster, Role, Klug-
mar and Schartoff, have played with
various leading North Jersey teams
and teamed up with Bruggy and
Cremmens, should give the Audi
forum players a hard tussle to-
night.

start about $50.

ways in a thrilling battle on New
Brunswick avenue and twice last
winter when they won two bitterly
contested games from the Perth
Amboy Big Five, Jersey champions,
on the same court. For all three
games, the spacious Auditorium was
packed to capacity.
Dehnert Plays
Dutch" Dehnert, one of the most
aggressive basketeers eve made in
this section of the country, is back
in the Celtic fold for this campaign,
and will appear against the Speed
ways in Tuesdays game. This play
er was inactive last year on account
of Illness, but he is as good as ever
again this season. The big Dutch
man makes a fine appearance on
the court and will surely make a hit
with the fans here.
Joe Lopchick, the Yonkers pivot
man, uccesso of Horse" Haggerty
will do the jumping for the Celtics
in the local contest. This player
made a great impression on the fans
here during the latter part of the
last campaign and on Tuesday night,
he will renew his battle with Harry
Davis, the popular pivot man of the
Speedways. Lopchick jumped
against Davis on the Auditorium
court last winter, on the Bruce street
court in Newark last Sunday night,
and the two players also were team
mates on the crack Mt. Vernon ros-
ter during the 1929 season.
Teamed up with Dehnert in the
backfield on Tuesday night, will be
Johnny Barry, Chris Leonard OF
Johnny Witty. This completes the
regular roster of the Celtic machine.
Manager Wesley Wilson and Rev.
Father John e. Larkin, athletic di-
