pivot position to ■ the visitors ieceiv
ed a long pass from Bradley and
registered a. score from the field.
This bask.-t enabled the Speedway
combination to w,n the game by a
28 to 27 score.
During the greater part of the
game the Speedway team was on the
short end of the score, mainly be
cause of th > homa team's big advan- !
tage in weight and size and the fact
that the e'eventh man on the floor |
rofusod to see numerous fouls that l
were committed. In the second per- |
iod a new referee was used and -
there was little Improvement In the
way the duties of this position were
k carried out.
f Irv Martin, Bob Handerhan and i
Ray Handerhan led the visiting team |
in point score, the first mentioned
tosser registered four double coun
ters, while the Handerhan brothers
each scored three field goals and Ray |
Handerhan registered three times
from the foul lino. Brown miller j
scored one foul goal and Bradley !

For the home team Grody and
Rafferty were high score men. the
^Yofcntr with one field and five foul
goals, -while Rafferty Is credited with
five double counters, four made by
himself and one given to him when
Ray Han-ierhan dropped a two (
pointer in the home team’s basket.
Ia addition to Bob Brody, the!
crack New York professional pivot
’man. the Norwoods used Dineen, aj
New York state leaguer In this con- I
lest. "Doc ’ Reisner. Heilesand Raf- ;
ferty occupied the other positions. i
Brownmiller although held score- 1
less from the field played an impor
tant part in the team work of the
visiting combination. Bradley’s
clever defensive play also was a big
factor in the Speedway victory, in
asmuch as he followed Dineen who
lias been the leading scorer and en
tire offensive' play of the Norwoods
in former seasons, around the court

a difficult angle of the court. Grody
and Dlneen are tho pivots for ad
vances of the Norwood team, but
last night these men were played
close and it was necessary for Raf
ferty and Heiles‘to make numerous
long shots to keep the home com
bination in the running.
The Speedways took the lead
early In the game but long range
shots by Heiles and Rafferty soon
put them In the rear and half time
found the Norwoods leading 19-12.
At the start of the second half
Martin registered a double counter
for the visitors and Ray Handerhan
in his anxiety to catch up to the
Norwood team whirled around and
dropped a pretty shot into the
homo team's basket. It was tho
longest shot of the game. The visi
tors kept plugging away and with
two and a half minutes to go tho
Norwood* were leading by four
points. Consecutive double counters
by Bob Handerhan and Martin, the
latter with thirty seconds to go, de
cided the game.
The Norwoods scored nine times
from the field in the first period to
four double counters by the Speed
ways, and in the second half tho
Norwoods practically were held to
one basket while the Speedways
made seven.

TODAY’S SPORT ANGLE
The fpfco swinger in baseball, who
takes a healthy cut. is the type bat
ter who either hits the ball hard or
strikes out.
The best possible proof that could
be offered to substantiate such a
statement! is the case of Babe Ruth
as told by the American League
batting averages.
Dpring the season of 1921, Babe
Ruth made 177 hits for an average
of .378. Of those 177 hits, 119 were
Tor extra bases. He broke the home
run reco.d with 59, made 44 two
baggers and 16 triples.
What ab.ut strikeouts? Not only
did Rufh lead In home runs with
59, but he also topped the strike
out list with 81. When Ruth came
to bat. it was usually two or no
count with him. He had little or !
no regard for singles. If he couldn't j
hit safely, he had no objection to ;
going out via strikeout.
However he didn’t relish being
retired on strikes unless permitted
to have three healthy cuts at the
ball. If there was one thing that
got on his nerves. It was haying
some umpire call him out on a tnird
strlkp, as he stood flatfooted and
watched it float by.
Elmer Smith is another batsman
who cuts at a ball much like Ruth
! When E'mer gets hold of a fast
ball, he cerainlv gives it-^ long ride.
-The free s.vinger is often crossed up
by a change of pace, which explains
why the slugger frequently strikes
out.
i__ __— --- V. KneL- * n
the bench 46 times for the usual
drink of water and chew of tobacco,
after waving at a third strike.
On the other hand, batters like
Speaker, Eddie Collins and Sam Rice
who wait tne pitcher out. seldom
swing at bad balls, and always pick
on the cripple, are mighty hard to
strike out.
Speaker went out on strikes a
dozen times last year, Collins whiffed
on 11 occasions, while Sam Rice
was a victim only ten times.
K. of C. to Dance at Sayrcville
SAYREV1L1.E. Dec. 29:—The
committee in charge of the Knights
of Columbus dance to be given at
the new Victorian Hall Saturday
night, New' Year’s eve. held a meet
ing at their rooms Tuesday night
and completed arrangements for
same. This dance without a doubt
will surpass any ever held in the1
borough and from reports of the I
treasurer last night quite a number!
of returns have already been made j
and same will no doubt prove a ■
great success. The dance music will
bo furnished by Norman's seven
piece jazz orchestra.
Sister Is Trainer
Midget Smith says he owes mu ch of his success in the prize fight
right to his sister, Vera. She cooks hi3 meals, supervises his training
and sometimes puts on the mitts wit h him. Smith recently conquered
Pete Herman, former bantamweight champion.

Association Quintet
Outclasses N.Y.Toam
Manager I. Levine's local T. M.
H. A. basketball team had an easy
time defeating the crack Rival quin
tet of the 92d street T. M. H. A. in
the regular weekly contest on the lo
[cal court last night. The final score
of this game was 22-19, and through
I out the contest the locals held a lead
averaging about ten points.
Irv Schwartzman and 'Yak'’ Low
enkopf alone made more points than
’ the entire visiting team, the former
being credited with five field and
'three foul goals for thirteen points
! while Lowenkopf registered four two
pointers. Berger was the scoring
ace for the Mew Yorkers making
, six field and two foul goals, four
teen of his team's nineteen points.
Schwamn made a field and three foul
goals for the remaining five pointers.
The local team started the game
with Parker and Schwartzman in
advanced positions. Lowenkopf at
i center, and Newmark and Richman
in the guarding berths C'-^rley
Sher. the crack Tottenvllle basaeteer
(lid not take part in the game last
night. Louis Laitz went to forward
| for the association team in the sec
ond period, and Sohwartzman went
jto guard in place of Richmar.
At the termination of the first pe
riod the home team was leading by
a score of 13-3. In the second half
the association players passed the
! ball and practiced teamwork so
as not to make the difference any
greater. Three points were added
to the lead of the home team in the
second half.
The Rivals did not furnish as
much opposition last night as they
did when they appeared here In the
opening game of the season against
Manager Levine's combination. This
may be accounted for by the con
stant Improvement of the local as
sociation quintet since their opening
game. Under Coach Rufus Allen
the Y. M. H. A. team is making a
great showing, and the record of the
team this year is erpected to be one
of the best ever made by a local
association team.
Johnny Fitzpatrick, coach o? the
South River high school, refereed
the game last night in place of,
Coach Robert S. Waddell at the
local high school. Waddell, the
regular referee for games on the Y.
M. H. A. court, is spending the holi
days at his home In Philadelphia.
The fouls in the game last night
were about evenly divided.
Next week th<- crack Uanbur>
