Speedway Five Wins
From Ward’s Boxers
A big crowd of fans turned out on
Saturday night to witness Georgle
Ward and his Fighting Five from
Elizabeth in action on the Auditor
ium basketball court against the
Perth Amboy Speedway quintet. A.
tho'jgh the fast traveling Perth Am
boy Speedway team in registering
their thirteenth consecutive victory,
outclassed their opponents in every
department of play, tho battlers suc
ceeded in keeping within reaching
distance of the home players
throughout tho game. The iinal
score of the contest was 35-30.
What Georgle Ward and his asso
ciate Jaeked in basketball ability,
they made up for in their comical
actions. Joe Kiegal. trainer of the
welterweight champion of this state,
led tho visiting team in scoring, be
ing credited with making six double
counters. Kiegel also was the coml
W cal star of the game, his actions
keeping the fans on the go during
tho forty minutes of play.
* s Harry Kegan, star of the flee
hawken basketball team, dropped in
five counters from the field in this
contest. Ilia floorwork was a feature
of the game. Although it is said, all
champions of a certain branch ol
sport, are not there when trying
their ability at another branch, this
is not true of Georgia Ward. He
made a much better showing on the
court in this city thanVdid Babe
Huth who appeared on the Auditor
ium court last season. Ward made
two field goals in the first half of
this games and his passing was a big
factor in the play of his team.
During the first ten seconds of play
in the game on Saturday night the
Speedways succeeded in dropping in
a field goal. This was the result of
a tap to forward, and a return Pans
to Pete Hansen. A short time later
Ttsgan dropped in a two pointer for
the visiting team, and the battlers
succeeded In giving the local hoys a
real tussle for a time.
Once the locals were turned up to
handle the task before them, they
found that it was possible to make
the game a one-sided affair. Know
ing that the funs would be more in
terested in a close contest, lnasmuch
as Kiegei had them in good humor,
the Speedways eased up in their play
During the first session Kay Han
derhan made four field goals.
Pete Hansen three. Brownmlller
two and Bradley and Bob Hander
han each one. For the* visitors Re
gan scored four, Kiegel/three. Ward
two and McCrann one. The score
at half time was 23-20.
In the second half the home team
scored-six field goals to five for the
visitors. Kay Handerhan made three
double counters in this session, Pete
Hansen, two, and Bradley one. Kie
gal scored three for the Elizabeth
team, and Regan and McCrann each
one.
Gene Parker was the eleventh man
on the floor in this game. Few fouls
were called, however. Inasmuch as
the Speedways were well aware of
the fact that they were stacked
against fighters.

Williamsburg Team With
Great Record Coming Here
Thursday Night
The fast going local ^Y. M. H. A.
basketball team will play the Wil
liamsburg Y. M. H. A. team on the
local court on Thursday night. The
Williamsburg team has beer, going
at a fast clip this season, and is
rated as the champion Y. M. II. A.
team of the east.
Manager Levine’s local team has
played great ball in winning the last
two games on their schedule. The
Parish House combination of Wood
bridge and the All Collegians of this
city fell prey to the association team
in these contests.
The work of ’’Yak” Lowenkopl
and Schwartzman in the last game
aided a great deal In the association
victory, while the consistent work
of Captain Sher, Tarker and New
mark has been mainly responsible
for the -result of the games played
by Manager Levine's team to date
this season.
The local team is bound to receive
plenty of opposition from the Wil
liamsburg combination, and a vic
tory over this outfit would boost the
stock of Manager Levine’s team con
siderably. It is probable that the
same team which opposed the All
Collegians on the court last Thurs
day night will lie sent into the game
against the Williamsburg team this
week. -
Conch Waddell will be the elev
enth man on the floor in this con
test.
Iioeal Man to Box

Kid Toney, the “Walloping Wop,” of

Return Game on Woodbridgi
Court Tomorrow Night—
Elizabeth Won First
Manager A. A. Peter's Paris
House basketball team of Wood
bridge will have the Elizabeth Y. M
C. A. team as their opponents o
the Parish House court in Wood
bridge tomorrow night. The Unto
county team defeated the Paris
House outfit in Elizabeth a shoi
time ago, and the Woodbridge ropre
sentatives are out to even matters.
The Parish House combination 1
credited with four straight defeati
the Sayrevllle Big Five, Y. M. H. A
Elizabeth and South Amboy Junta
Mechanic teams being responsibl
for these setbacks. Two of the de
feats were registered on the Wood
bridge court, and as a result c
these four losses the record of th
Parish House team for the season i
three victories and four defeats.
The absence of Mesick from thei
lineup is believed to be mainly re
sponsible for the poor showing o
the Parish House team. This playe
is expected to be back in the gam
probably by next week, and wit
Charlev Hughes as his sidekick, th
Woodbridge team should again b
unbeatable on their home court.
Tomorrow night the Woodbridg
team is expected to take the floo
with T.orch and W. Martin, for
wards; I. Martin, center, and Hughe
and Schwenzer. guards.
