ALLEN
TO GUARD
CANTON?

Within the great struggle which Is
scheduled to be begun at 8 O'Clock
tonight or the Knights OF Pythias
court In South Amboy between the
representatives OF the burg across
the river and the local city cham
pions, there is one minor battle
which the fans, who expect to wit
ness the hostilities, are awaiting with
as much anxiety as they are immed-
lately concerned with the direct re-
suit Of the game. And this is the
clash between Jimmy Canton and
Rufus Allen or Jimmy CANTON and
Scott Burns, Either Burns or Allen
Will guard Canton and as this trio
is of the s%peedieSt and best in the
county, a great exhibition can be
expected to result when Jimmy is
opposed by n Of the two crack
guards of the city champion COM
bination.
The crowd is anxious to see Allen
oppose Canton as he practices the
same style and tactics as Canton
does. At the same time, the River
side rooters and supporters feel
equally as confident IL Burns will be
assigned to guard the pride Of South
Amboy. Who will hold down Mike
Schicker is another question which
South Amboy fandom is debating up
on. Reynolds or Durham will get
the job. II Reynolds works at the
throttle, 1t will be his first time in
action against M. J. and as both are
of the same style, interesting doingi
should result.
The battle Is expected to be one OF
the most important Of the year. The
winner will have a big claim on
honors. It's the champions. of PERTH
Amboy, against South Amboy's best
and that's why all will turn out to
see the game in South Amboy to-
night.
The probable make ups are:
Riversides. South Amboy
Manhattan Manhatter
McCreery Garland

Durham, Regain Cantor

The Real Prince.
'fWho is that nifty "copper""
Was the question asked of Spo',
While walking down old State street
Watching the crowds rush to and fro.
HE looks so grand and noble
In his suit of brass and blue,
Appearance neat tho not petite,
A man right through and through"
you're there, Kid, you're perception
Is in every sense correct.
No better mar could take that stand,
Or a finer guard erect.
He's there in looks and manner,
He's a friend of all the boys.
Keeps his beat clean and neat,
And diplomacy employs.
He ne'er forgets his duty,
Tho's he's generous to the bone.
Makes arrests when he thinks it best,
Much Judgment does he own.
lave seen him in many mixups
And ne'er show a sign of fear,
But has his way and lawful say"
| answered in words sincere.
1t behooves me to speak so laudily,
AS the Fighting Waiter would say,
OF one who has been benefted
By popularity's sway.
Or gifted with the friendship
OF every man, woman and child
That traverse his beat or home retreat,
To favor him and file
An option on his talents,
For generosity of heart,
Where soul and mind conjunctively
Play a noble part.
Charles not a "copper"
He's more, one of the boys,
Til authority's rank ring in the crank,
They find that he's no toy,
That they can butt and bang around
And pull unlawful stunts. .
Hog the streets and all such feats,
With boastful and boistrous grunts.
He's there with his be nevolence,
To greet the passersby.
And ne'er forgets the bond Of love a
That marks the human tie.
Toiling onward with the spirit
Whose enemy is sin,
To gain the name of righteous fame
That will honor the name of Quinn.
