The great Madre de Dios Mother of

hundred and twenty-one feet long and

hundred and six feet long. The value of
the cargo then divided was about $780,
600, equivalent to about So, 900, 90 at the
present day.
Such vessel would carry from Cochin
China about SIP tons of pepper, beside
other goods, equivalent in value from
three to four million dollars today.
Nearly all the pepper was paid for in
cash to Asiatic rulers who controlled
it's collection and sold it to the Portu-
guese Farmers. who advanced all the
capital The King of Portugal, who
found the ships, was entitled to buy the
whole crop in Lisbon at set price, about
sixpence sterling per pouna, giving the

lings per pound, the kings revenue was

GAME THIS
SEASON HERE TONIGHT
Puritans and Riversides viii Meet
for First Battle in County League
Series--A AT Auditorium.
PRESS CLUB FOR preliminary

All eyes and minds will be turned
to the Auditorium, tonight, where
the Pdritans and Riyersides fight it
out for the basketball championship
OF the city and the first of a series OF
three games which may virtually de-
eide the championship of the Middle
sex County Basketball League. A
defeat for the Puritans, who top the
county league with four games won
and none lost, will give them a set
back from which they may never re-
cover. Up county q~uintets are pa
tiently awaiting such a downfall, as
they failed to turn the trick them
selves. OF course, Ii the Puritans
win.
Hard to Pick Winner.
1t is hard to pick between the two
teams On paper the RiTersides
have an advantage, although critics
OF the game give the Puritans a
shade. Dave WiIentz's crew has
played continually in the Auditorium
this year and know every inch of
the floor, in addition to ~perfecting
team work on many outside courts.
The Riyersides have played more
games, individually and as a whole,
than their speedy rivals. The Pnri-
tans are older. heavier and have the
advantage of experience. James
Canton, of South Amboy, plays with
our f~orefathers and to him many of
the hackers OF the Puritans look for
a victory. Schwartz is expected to
help some, too.
knowledge OF the equality Of the
two hVes has led many to wager on
the outcome at even money. The
probable amount that will change
hands on the result is hard to esti-
mate, but without a doubt 1t will
total nearly as much as that wager
ed on the Puritan-Y. NJ. H. A. game
last winter. There is more Puritan
money In sight at this time than

OLIVER
MAKING GOOD
Sparring Partner Of Toe lean
nette- Looming Fighter.

Has 1t ever occurred to you that
Perth Amboy Is In possession OF a
coming young pugilist who bids fair
to become an aspirant for worlds
championship honors7 Well, It
has and the white hope Ia none other
than Lawrence Oliver more famii-
iarly known as Luke" On several
occasions he has shown excellent
boxing traits and he is at the pres
ent time serving as Joe J~eannette's
sparring partner at Union Hill.
Jeanette thinks he Is a conner and Is
giving him every opportunity to
show his worth.
Jeanette Is that clever NIT manip-
ulator of darkened hue who is pro-
nounced to be about the best in his
class. He has worked with and
against the best of men In the pugi-
listic arena the present day and has
a long list of knockouts to his
credit. He scored one of these In
this city some months ago. His
word OF Judgment should be worth
something and therefore 1t Is safe
to say that Oliver has the markings
OF a good pugiltst in him.
For the past ear or SO Oliver
has been developing his fighting
qualities, but IL was not until his re-
cent utilization with Jeanette's
camp that he was really discovered.
Local NIT handlers and followers
of the boxing game have seen him
work at times. 1t took a bit of
training and handling to rid him of
what might be termed stage fright
and give him confidence. Now that
he has that essential quality the
makings of a fighter should go to-
wards boosting him high In the
standing of roped-arena stars. AS
sured that he has the punch and the
stamina behind 1t he is going into
the game with confidence aud de-
termination.
