TRAINING HARD
AT DeForest's Quarters Pre-
pairing to Meet Langford.

Joe Jeanette, who Is scheduled
to meet Sam LAngford at Madison
Square Garden on Sept. 8 in a ten
round contest for the light heavy
weight championship, is at Jimmy
De Forests quarters at Allenhurst,
where he will finish up his training
with Carl Morris and Billy Papke.
Jeanette bears no Ill effects of his
recisive victory owe Porky Flynn.
Joe figured that out as merely a
training stunt. The match had been
made prior to the one with Lang
ford, and Jeanette, rather than dis
appoint the Fairmont Club, went
through with it. The fans noticed
that Jeanette made all his fight for
the body, never once letting go his
famous right hand punch for the
head. Joe explained his fight this
way: 81 vas taking no chances Of
hurting my hands, for l will need
them with Langford."
That Langford has a world Of res
pect for Jeanette Is evidenced by
the manne Of his strenuous train
ing. He has four sparring partners
and every one boxes with him daily.
Langford appreciates that Jeanette
is the only man that ever beat him
and this Is one fight In which he Is
going to try to evers that verdict.
A number of local followers Of the
boxing game who are acquainted
with De Forest expect to visit his
quarters the coming weekend.
Among them will be several of the
Lotos A. G. who are constantly on
the lookout for material for future
boxing shows in this city. A dele
cation from this city recently visited
the camp and pronounced 1t one of
the best they ever saw.

MOTORING BOWLING
FISHING BOATING
SEVENTH RACE
IN THE SERIES
Weather Permitting, Will
Take Place Saturday

Weather conditions permitting,
the seventh race Of the Raritan
Yacht Club series will be held Sat
urday afternoon over the twelve
mile course. Eight boats are en-
tered, and as the series draws to a
close, the interest is keen as to who
will come out victor. Bets are be-
ing placed, and the Tempest, of Rah-
way, is the favorite at 2 to /.
There Will be but three more
races after this Saturday, but in
those three races, the Tempest can
be nosed out Of first place, by fail
ing to come in first or second in the
remaining contests. 1t is a pretty
safe bet, however, that the Tempest
viii win out and carry home with
her the handsome pair Of binoculars,
which is given as first prize.
Wight. in the BOle, and Curtis, in
the Elsie, Of Keyport, both have a
good chance and will perhaps cause
some surprise on Saturday. The
Bole had hard luck last Saturday,
getting a bad start
1t is going to be close between the
Ellida n Estella for fifth place,
there being but one point between
them. In this case, the EIlida, which
is the one point behind, seems to be
the %favorite.
The race Will start promptly at
1880 O'Clock to allow the boats to
finish before 6 O'Clock. Nels Macan
will act as scorer, and Charles Lun-
erson viii be the starter. Starting
from the Yacht club, the boats will
sail around the stakeboat at South
Amboy, up to the light house,
around buoy eight, and in to the
channel buoy. Twice around this
triangle completes the course.

.R|VERSIOES To HAVE
NEW BASKETBALL SUITS

New Basketball suits and all equip
ment for the team were decided upon
at a meeting of the Riverside Club,
held last night at the home of David
Wilentz, their hustling young man
ager, in Lewis street last night. The
suits will be paid for out of the pro-
ceds of the ball, which the club has
planned to hold September 10.
Should a city basketball league be
formed, the Riversides will no doubt
enter, being one of the speediest ag-
gregations in the county, and junior
champs" of the city last year.
Wtlentz has already arranged for
some good game with out-of-town
teams. The club proved a great
drawing card at the Auditorium last
season, and have many admirers in
this section.
Lining up, the team will be COM
posed of nearly the same men as last
year. Scott Burns, who starred as
center last year, will be in the posi-
ton again when activities are start
ed. McCreery, Rufus Allen, and
Wesley Davis, will hold down the
positions Of forwards, and it Is hard
to find any boys with more clever
ness for throwing the baskets. Har-
ry Macan, who is SO little and &C
tive and Adam Schantz, will act as
guards, and 1t Is seldom that the OPP
ponents run up a score IN these two
boys. Taken altogether 1t Is a crowd
that Is hard to be beaten.
The floor and assistant floor man
ager for the Riverside ball will be de-
cided upon at a later date. probably
picked from members Of the Good
will Association.

CITY LEAGUE
GAMES SUNDAY
Third Round of Games Sched-
uIed for Amusement Park.

Fans and players alike are pray
ing for the rain to stop SO that the
stockade will be ready for some fun
Sunday afternoon when the third
games of the schedule will be play
ed. The cards says: Amboys VS..
Saints and Marions vs.. Franklins.
They all look good when they're far
away" but wait till you see these
close at hand. 1t won't do to sit on
the outfeId fence and expect to see
tho whole game. You had better
pay the fine and sit in the bleachers.
Be a sport anyway.
To see the Amboys' new array
should be worth the money. Ac-
cording to the manager they have a
fast bunch and they will make a good
race for the top notch. They are
down to appear against the Saints.
The Saints have a percentage of a
thousand and they would hate to see
it spoiled. They are going to slip in
their choicest to do the work.
Another long cheer is heard as
the Marions and Franklins step on
the alfalfa in the second tussle of
the day. Here we have the city
champions of last year, Juniors and
seniors. Such a scrap it will be.
The Franklins will dig their heels
into the ground from the first round
with a determination to win. The
Marions will not stand by and look
on but they too will be on the job
and expect to spoil any chances at
starting.
The success of the league is now
assured and many fans are on the
list of regular attendants. Only a
bum day crabs the thing. All the
fans are on their knees at the pres
emit time. If there is any chance at
all there will be contests, SO be on
hand.

UNCLE SANS
PRISON FOR WOMEN

A prison within a prison is
being built at Leavenworth, Kan,
ard it W II be the first exclusive
federal prison for women in the
United States. The new Jail is
being built within the walls of
the United States penitentiary y,
but it will have a wall of it's own
and the inmates will be more
securely shut off from the world
than the more desperate men con-
fined in the mems prison.
This inside prison will have
room for about 500 women, there
being now about that number in
the various state penitentiaries in
the United States, the government
paying the state for their keep.
These women have been convicted
mainly of violation OF the postal
laws, smuggling, counterfeIting or
white shaving.
While the womens' prison will
be under control of the warden,
there will be a woman superinten-
dent and uncer her a corps of
subordinates. Because Of being
confined behind double walls mo
guards will be necessary. II. will
be a rule that no men, especially
men prisoners, be allowed in the
woman's prison. The women will
be more completely shut out of
the world than clustered nuns.
The women will be kept too busy
10 think about men. however, for
upon them will devolve the
making of all the bed clothing.
tablecloths, towels and other
things of that nature used in the
prison and the repair Of the
mems clothes. They will make
their own clothing Of course,
although no type of uniform has
been decided upon. 1t probably
will be a o~ne.piece blue dress but
without numbers or anything to
denote the wearer is a prisoner.
The women will have their own
chapel and various entertainments
will be provided for them.
