POINTS ABOUT
BIG WEEK END
CRIDIRON FRAY
Ten Dollars Given LocaIs---
Campbell Makes Great Run
and Scores Touchdown.

1t might be interesting to fandom
in these parts to know that the Dex-
ters received a guarantee of but $40
for playing the Royal game at Pleas
ant Plains Sunday afternoon. De-
spite the fact that Manager Seel Of
fered Manager McNulty more money
to engage the fray for the local grid
iron, the Royals did not accept the
offer, but still would not make the
same terms as the Dexters were will
ing to make had the battle been
waged on the local warpaths. lnas-
much as about two hundred rooters
accompanied the crimson warriors,
40 seeds" was sort o. poor to such
a glorious squadron as the Dexters.
Perhap the Royals made the offer,
believing that the Dexters would not
accept 81 is the dope heard in many
conversation hooks.
One of the feature plays was the
one In which pete" Campbell re-
ceived a fine forward pass and sue
cessfully eyaded a field of about four
green sweaters and crossed the goal
for a touchdown after a run of about
thirty yards. All during the tussle,
the great manner in which the passes
were made, and the able way In
which they were caught, figured
greatly in the gains OF the local
bunch. Harry Apologize made sew
eral beauty" catches and scored
large gains.
"Buck" Snyder worked like a real
pigskin booter and instead of getting
discouraged and disguised, he played
his best and showed up in fine style.
But the fellow who started fighting
right from the start-curtains for
him.
A lot OF supporters Of the Pleas
ant Plains aggregation left the field
Immediately after they caught a
glimpse Of the Dexters in action.
They knew they had no chance.
Practice Is being held by the Dex-
ter eleven tonight for their game
Thursday afternoon against the Films,
of New York, on the copper works
gridiron.
The Fultons, of Elizabeth, who
we're easily defeated by the locals,
are now playing the Trojans, of that
place, for city championship. This
ranks the Dexters above Elizabeth's
aggregations.
There Is but one eleven who the
Dexters fear may be able to score on
them and this crew is the Holy Cross
bunch, of Plainf1eld. Manager Seel
may take his band into Union county
soil Saturday afternoon.

Woodbridge, Nov. 26.-In the first
basketball exhibition given by two fe-
male aggregations in this burg yes
terday afternoon, the Woodbridge
high school sextette triumphed over
the squad representing the Elizabeth
Normal school by a 22-15 tally. 1t
was a finely contested fray and the
large crowd that witnessed the tussle
was a very enthusiastic audience,
cheering every brilliant play-and
there were many of them.
In the first period the Woodbridge
fair sex representatives simply out
classed their opponents caging the
sphere many more times than did the
Elizabeth delegation.
The game yesterday was the first
w. II. S. Girls varsity tussle and the
crowd who attended the hostilities
were so pleased with the calibre of
the attraction that several more var

CLEVER PAIRS
WILL BATTLE

When Non Miller, of South

town, the two forwards of Jimmy
Blacks South River quintet, and
Scott Burns and Bunk Allen, two
guards of the Academy crew, of this
city, meet on Thanksgiving night Of
the Washington Park court in South
River, two Of the best combinations
In this county or even in this part
of the state, will face each other.
Miller and Crabiel are two of the
speediest boys that have been paired
on one team as forwards. Burns and
Allen are crack guards and it will
be interesting to see how the clever
forwards, the pride and pick of up
county fans, will fare against the star
guards Of the Perth Amboy city
champion basketball quintet.

AMICITIA LOSE
FIRST AT HOME

For the first time this year, the
Amicitias, OF Pleasant Plains, s. l.,
last night, lost a game on their own
alleys. 1t was the Aquehonga Five,
Of T~ottenville, who did the trick and
as a result there is much joy in the
camp of the Tottenvillians. The
Amicitias are considered one of the
strongest factors in the All Staten
Island Bowling League and a defeat
against them on their own alleys, was
seldom expected even by the most
optimistic of bowlers. But 1t hap

FANS TO FEAST
IN SOUTH RIVER
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

South River, Nov. 26:-A feast of
basketball will be provided here on
Turkey" Day to fandom in Il
about this borough. Beginning in
the afternoon when a preliminary
game between the Crescent Juniors
and the Sterling Juniors is fought
and ending with the battle between
the Academy Five and the Blacks
South River quintet at night, the day
| promises to be the most active yet
presented to fandom in these parts.
In the afternoon the Sterlings will
oppose the C%rescents in the main at
traction. At night as a preliminary
to the Academy-South River fray
two female teams will wage war in
the first tussle of its nature on a
local court.
In comparing the attractions no
one can doubt that the Academy
South River game will be between
two better teams than will be en-
gagged in the Sterling-Crescent fray.
With such stars as Non" Miller,
"Roe" Taylor, Charlie Crabiel,
Smithy and Kulthau in their ranks,
Blacks South River followers may
rest assured that it will take the
best in the county at their best TO
have a look-in to defeat Blacks ag-
gregation. And the Academy team,
who once defeated this squad by one
point and we're in turn defeated on
their second appearance by three
points, will try to turn the trick in
the final fray of the series.
The Sterling-Crescent tussle will
afford much interest. The Crescents
will be stronger than eve and a vic
tory for the Milltown lads is predict
ed in the dopist headquarters.
Besides the preliminary attraction
in the afternoon a tug of var has
been arranged between a quintet
from ~Sayreville and n from South
Amboy.
At night dancing will be enjoyed
to the strains of Allgair's orchestra.

South Amboy, Nov. 26.-When the
Neptune basketball quintet appears
on the knights of Pythias court to-
night, it will be under the wing of
different management than it has
been in the last few months. The
Neptune Club, after working hard to
support their crew for several months
have finally given up the idea and
now Billy O'Toole and RUDE Forgot
son have taken up the proposition
and will try to make the affair a pay
ing proposition, something which it
has not heretofore.
President Kane and Manager Abe
Forgotson, who did most of the work
for the Neptune Five, have turned
over the reins and will take little
or no part In ne handling of the
aggregation. f
1t Is understood that Pop" o.
Toole will use the same lineup as
has been representing the Neptunes
of late. He may change the make
up slightly later on but 1t is UNDER
stood that for the present, Pop"
will do nj altering.
1t is the intention of many sports
In this burg that if anyone put out a
cracker-jack quintet to play such
games as the Riversides do on the
Auditorium court In Perth Amboy,
that the tussles here would be well
attended and the team supported.
However there are many who do not
agree on this matter.

WILL PUT IT UP TO WILSON.
To Deal With Panama Canal Contro-
versy and Russian Treaty Problem.

Washington, Nov. 26.-That the Pan
anna canal controversy with Great Brit
ain will be a legacy to the Wilson ad-
ministration, along with the Russian
treaty problem, Is the expectation in
administration circles. The British
Subussy, 1t is understood, shares this
view, and Ambassador Bryce, who has
resigned. has made up his mind that
he will have to remain at his post until
late in the spring of 1913 at the very
best. The British foreign office has
asked Mr.. Bryce to remain until the
Panama canal matter is adjusted.
While the president and Secretary
Knox are ready to so ahead and dis
russ with Great Britain her protest In
II matter of canal tolls, the British
government has decided to let the af.
sair drift along until the Taft admins
sration Is no more and then push her
protest vigorously when President VIII
&on takes office.

defeated the Vikings, of Bayonne.
The final score was TO, earned by a

journey to Plainfield to encounter
the Union county crew.

RED MEN LEAD
IN SAYREVILLE
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

%Sayreville, Nov. 26.-There is con-
siderable interest being shown in this
vicinity Is to the outcome of the
~Sayreville Bowling League, in which
games are taking place at Popp's al
leys. At present Lou Wagner's team
looks like Champs" although they
are closely followed by the Yankees,
c~aptained by Thorn and the Cubans,
captained by c. Popp. The Yankees
started with remarkable speed, TAX
ing first six games, but last week had
a slump, losing three straight, thus
placing them in second berth.
The fans are very enthusiastic and
at every game there are numbers out
cheering their favorites on to victory.
Rivalry Is keen between all teams
and while Wagner's team at present
has a shade on the others, it is a hard
matter to pick a winner.
The standing of the league for the
first leg Is as follows.

THE CANDY KID.

OF all the Wise Guys that rye met,
There is one that takes the cake.
His exploits are so genuine,
That nc one dare call him fake"
A ladies' man of great renown,
The best hat is in the land,
The spunkiest fish that's in thu
brook,
And chock-a-block with sand.
The maidens know his talents we'll,
They know he's there in style,
When he walks the streets in Newark
They follow in single file.
Even while he's camping,
On the shore of T~ottenville,
They hunt him up; his presence
Gives them a pleasant thrill.
One young maid, whom he did. love,
And for her would diligently toll,
,sS5dded him into thinking
IfEssnnsa&s@s-Sycrshipped the very soil
On which he
Borrowed a handful Of his tin;
Just t~hirty-ffve plunks, and what he
saw
OF her after that was thin.
He knew the nature of all girls,
Experience had made him wise,
And a new coal for a sweet little girl
Was naught to open the eyes,,
OF IN SO immensely perfect,
And the best in4the world of guys.
He knew she was the Candy Kid,
For he knew her to be true,
And one whom you could depend
upon,
To stick like the best of glue.
The sticking power of the glue,
Was better than he thought,
He's out just thirty-five cold beans,
And his angry passions wrought.
He knows not where to find the
dame,
Who robbed him of his tin,
Sad for her if she were found,
Her chance for life-yery thin.
Cheer up, old chap, you soon will
find
A maid as rue as steel,
But do not lend out any more coin,
And disappointment you won't feel.
And If you have more than you want,
With me you will agree,
Better to give to the Y. M. G. A.
Than to a maid and be up a tree.
Kitchen by name and works therein,
He spends his time at cooking,
But strange to say his goose was
For him without a, look-in.
