PURITANS NEED
A CENTER SAYS
"CAP" DEEGAN
North Amboy Aggregation
Doing Fine Work-- Are In
tent Upon Improving.
DEEcAN BACK AS GUARD

Since the game between the Puri-
tans and the Tottenville A. G. was
staged Saturday night, different fac
tors In the combination of the locals
have formed many and varied opin-
ions Of how to strengthen the team
which for years shone so brilliantly
above nearly every aggregation in
these diggings. 1t is not because
the Puritais did not make a good
showing that these minds are imbued
with a feeling to better conditions
for the game played was a good one
and the Puritans did put up a classy
exhibition on the Tottenville court.
One of the most valuable and the
most important opinions Of those
who are looking for improvement
and betterment In the camp of "Our
Forefathers" Is that of Captain
John Deegan. At present Deegan IS
the foundation of the team. Not only
In leading his clan on the court, but
also In holding his men together and
planning the method of attacking III
all cases engaged. John believes
that he should be stationed at his old
position as a guard. With Sullivan
and Deegan guarding, we have again
our peerless combination. But who
will play at the pivot7 After Feb
ruary Schwartz will work at that po-
sition, according to present dope.
But Will this clan wait until then to
make reforms? This does moi seem
likely for II Deegan's manner is to
be judged by the team will have q
new tosser In less than two weeks.
OF course, the squad is looking for
ward to a Puritan-Riverside game.
At present the management of the
city champions does not believe "Our
Forefathers" are as strong as they
should be to play the "Rivies." And
SO 1t appears now that the matter
will be left to rest until a new center
is procured by the North Amboy crew
and the team is strengthened.

CLEVER CARD

Liberal Athletic Club, Mike De
Brezzie, who has been challenging
all Of the local fighters through his
manager, Mike Palmer, viii be seen
in action against Johnny Howard, OF
Bayonne. Howard Is about as tough
a proposition as De Brezzie could
have picked out. Howard packs an
awful punch In both hands; this he
demonstrated when he fought the
Iron Man, Charlie Sieger, at this club
two weeks ago, in this fight. Howard
was always willing to mix matters
at all times and It II now up to De
Brezzie to show his many friends If
he can stand the strong and aggres-
sive Jerseyite OF for the distance.

SENATOR GEORGE c. PERKINS TO RETIRE

The announcement few days ago
by Senator George G. Perkins that
he will retire from public life brings
to it's close a remarkable career.
Born on a little farm near Kenne-
bunkport, Me-. Mr. Perkins ran away
from home when he was about IL
years old He took to the sea, as
Maine boy naturally would, shipping
as cabin boy on ship at New Or
leans and sailed the seas. In 1855
he shipped before the mast on the
good ship Galatea, and sailing round
the Horn. eventually landed in San
Francisco. Here the gold fever
seized him and he abandoned the
sea for the mining camps. Fortune
frowned for many year, and he was
glad to find work Of any kind to earn
his bread. He was a teamster, a
miner, a storekeeper in rough mining
camps, anything indeed that came to
hand. At last he accumulated enough
money to own his own team and he
