CY ShITH WINS ALL
The WAY FROM SIECER,
HOBOKEN IRON MAN

Cy Smith, with all his old time cum
ming and a-ggressiveness, made Charlie
Sieger look cheap in their ten-round
bout at the Brown A. A., in New York,
last night. Smith bested Sieger in
every round, using his right-hand
swings to the face all the while. Sieger's
best work was in the early stages of
the game.
The fight, without question, was the
most gruelling affair that the patrons
ever saw. To say that each man was
out for blood is putting 1t mildly. When
the bell sounded Sieger refused to ac-
cept the extended hand of Smith, sig
nifying that he was out to do his best.
Cy merely smiled and commenced q
commandment that Sieger did not
relish. Sieger was there will a right
uppercut which had absolutely no
steam behind it.
Every round was a thriller, and not
one moment of the fighting time was
wasted. In the seventh round, when
things were going badly for the Ho-
boken Iron Man, he raised his leg and
deliberately stuck his knee into Smiths
stomach. This caused an uproar.
The ninth round was a bad on. for
Sieger. Once he was knocked down
with an overland right for the count
of nine, and twice he was compelled to
hold on to the ropes to keep himself
from falling. The sound of the gong
was most welcome to the ears If the
Iron Man.

BY SURE SHOT.

According to q well-known basket
ball authority, Artie Conlon, one of the
best basketballers in the State. has
been signed by the Bay View Wheel
men five. Artie looks to be in fine trim
for the coming season and will go bet
ter than ever, it Is said. 1t was also
mentioned thai Artie will probably
play with the Celluloids and the team
which is to play at Electric Park hall
on Sunday afternoon.
Billy Balbach will pilot the Niagara
five this season. Allshome games will
be played at Wiedenmayer's Casino on
Sunday afternoons.
-
Although a benedict, Jack Curley
will be back in the game when the
whistle blows. That will make w on
the Ironsides. Knochel is also mar
ried.
Bay View Wheelmen will likely be
represented by a strong five this sea-
son. Local talent only will be used.
1t is unnecessary for local teams to
get players from Jersey City, Elizabeth
and New York. There are many right
here in town.
1t is unlikely that Newark Academy
will be represented on the basketball
court. That institution gave up the
game with outside teams two years
ago.
The call for players at the Barringer
High School will be issued by %Instruc-
tor B~roadhead shortly after school be-
gins.
1t would mean u lot If basketball
were revived by the st. Michael, Bay
ley Lyceum, st. Aloysius, st. James,
st. Columbia and Bclleville clubs.
Holy Cross will be a factor again
this season. The little fellows made
quite a reputation last season.
Vincent Kearns. the clever basket
ball promoter, is just as sweet on
baseball and soccer as on basketball,
He seldom misses a game when the
Tigers are home.
