iohn Mallet Writes Harmony
Five Real Opponent for ,
Speedways
_______
{The following communication j
has been received from John Mallet '
requesting the booking of *a game i
between the Speedways and the
Harmony live so that the former;
team can get some real opposition
for their games on the Auditorium 1
"Perth Amboy, Jan. 30. 1922.
"Sporting Editor,
*‘P. A. Evening News.
'‘Hear Sir:—It is, of course, a
pleasure to read of llie many vie
lories of (lie Perth Amboy Speed- I
ways, inasmuch ns tin- Speedways J
purport to represent Perth Amboy
to have the best teams obtainable
in the town. The chief trouble
stfems to be the lack of good strong j
opposition. The Speedways have j
met and defeated a number of teams I
on tha Auditorium court In which
rne opposing teams were toyed wttn
and real opposition was furnished
only one or two occasions.
"Since the Speedways are looking
for opposition that can make them
hustle, why Uo they not book the
Harmony Five of this city, who can
no doubt put up real opposition.
"While it is true the Harmony
Five haven't played much in this
vicinity, most of them have been
playing together all season repre
senting tlie Somerville K. of C„
where they have compiled a. credita
ble record. Any team with Hogan,
Glochau, ItuSc Allen should be able i
to make the Speedways step and
would ver' likely win. If the Speed
ways are the representative team,
why is is that Hcgan Is not on tlieir
roster, inasmuch as he is one of the
fastest basketball players in the city.
"Now if the Speedway manage
ment is sincere in its desire to play
some real teams, It isn’t necessary to
go far, for the opposition can be
found right in this city.
“All the talk about a series be
tween the Speedways and tho Y. M.
H. A. or the llooseveit Separates
will not amount to much, as neither
f;if these teams would have much of
J chance on the Auditorium court
and the arranging of a series would
lot provide much real basketball.
“Hoping to see some opposition
m the Auditorium court soon, and
‘hanking you for the space, I am.
“Sincerely yours,
“JOHN MALT.ET,
“27 Smith Street.”

Downs Speedways on Pleas
ant Plains Court Last
Night
In a rough and tumblo contest on
the Amlcltia hall court tho Beauvais
Post American Begion quintet last
night defeated the Perth Arnbov
Speedways by' a score of 33-20 and
evened the series between the two
teams. As was expected the height
and weight of the home team hamp
ered the passing and floor work of
the visitors on the small, slippery
court.
The Begion team took the lead in
rapid order and led their opponents
throughout the entire game. Many
of the shots made by the home team ■
wero of the spectacular nature. At
half tithe the Tottenville tossers
were leading by a 16-9 score and
during the socond period the margin
between the two teams was steadily
increased, at one time reaching
eighteen points.
The Speedways edged up on the
home players in tho closing minutes
of play. Ernie Copeland was the
eleventh man on the floor and the
biggest crowd of the season turned
out for the game.
The Begion team was defeated by
the Speedways on the Auditorium
court some time ago. The Beauvais
Post quintet will play the Y. M. H.
A. on the local court tomorrow night
and the Victorians of Sayreville on
the latter court Friday night.
