DUNBAR WRITES
DOPE ON BOUTS

The following letter has been re-
ceived from John Dunbar about the
last Permo stag:
SPORTING EDITOR NEWS:
May / say a word in regard to the
bouts Monday night held by the Per-
Club? | will repeat what / have
before said in regard to these bouts
managed by this club viz. Anyone
who saw them and left the hall dis
satisfied would indeed be hard to
please. More evenly matched pairs
in all respects would be hard to find.
And best of all every pair was trying.
When men do their best what more
can be said? One does not often see
so many box so satisfactorily as was
the case here. Take the account of a
fight in New York on the same night
where Jeanette and Tony Ross
boxed, and of whom great things
were expected. The bout was any,
thing but good.
In striking contrast was the go
here between the Waiter and Seelly.
What a bout it was. Possibly l will
%rouncountr to the opinion of others
when | say / consider the Waiter
was lucky to hand the sleeper when
he did, as the gentleman, Mr.. Ceelly
was a real bear cat, who packed a
terrible wallop in either hand and
who ame perilously near several
times of landing it on the Waiter,
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-13

and he was as tough as Whalebone,
and felt confident he would put the
Waiter away. l had a seat quite
close to Seely's corner, and had a
good view Of the finish. The end
came very suddenly. | did not cred
it the Waiter with the speed he pos
sesses in landing his punch. The
blow that caused the trouble did not
travel far, but was none the less eff
fective.
And | venture to say the most sur
prised man in the house was Mr..
Seelly when told he had taken the
count. He could not believe it, and
wanted to continue. In fact, he
was both angry and disguised, but
it is results that count in boxing as
in other things in life and the Waiter
deserves all the more credit, be-
cause his opponent was so tough.
And this go should prove that the
wallop is one Of the greatest assets
that a boxer can possess. And what
a pair of punchers they were.
To my way of thinking there was
little to choose between these men.
And the first to land effectively o
The bout was grand. The heat kept
many away. The management ran
things off like clockwork. No tire
some delays, as is often the case, and
every bout put on was interesting.

most of the defeat is attributed to
the cap" However, the State street
nine promises to give South River
the go of their lives if they are
given a chance Sunday. Jack Kim
sula, the favorite mound performer,
will be ready for an assignment on
the slab and If Manager Walter
Miller and Marty O'Hara clinch ar
rangements another feature attrac-
ton is on the card for the weekend.
The locals expect to be strong in
their appearances hereafter and
promise to put up the exhibitions
which gained for them the rep of
being n of the speediest bunch of
balltossers in the county.
So South River "a be assured
that a good game will be on tap il.
the locals are booked. However, if
they do not feel this way about it
and believe that the Saints are easy,
1t will be their chance to break into
the win column, something they
have not seen in many moons.

ASHLANDS WIN
OPENING GAME
IN ~SAYREVILLE
First Basketball Battle Re-
suits in Olsen Breaking Leg
--Reegan is Star.
FINAL SCORE Is 1918.

Little Eddie Regain, of the River
side basketball quintet and the
Franklin baseball nine, was the dis
tinct s,ar in the opening basketball
game of the season in these parts
last night in S~ayreville, when the
Ashlands, of this city, defeated the
A. A. Jrs. by g 14-13 score
in a game in which o. Olsen, the
husky guard of last seasons S. A. A.
team broke his leg. 1t was in the
second half of the game that Olsen
met with the mishap in which the
local players claim he broke his leg.
1t was a great battle as an opener
for the sesOn and the ding was SO
hard and fierce throuhout every mo-
ment of the encounter tht it is not
surprising that some n of the ten
men who worked so strenuously was
hurt. To show what a brilliant bat
tie the contest was, the Ashlands
writes that the tally at the
end of the first half was S-8.
The locals iourneyed TO Sayreville
with McCreery and Regain, of the
Riversides, and Hornsby, Segar and
Macan. Each and every one of the
boJo piagCu "oitc 1ully well dAu
showed mid-season form. Regain was
the highest scorer of the occasion,
dropping the sphere through the ring
for four field goals and because Of
his excellent performance, Eddie Is
now the idol of the Ashlands. The
Sayreville quintet had several nota-
bles in their makeup, too. Besides
o. Olsen, who played guard for the
South Amboy Neptunes and the
~SayreyilIe A. A. last season, they had
Kroeger, who also was a S. A. A. reg
ular last year.

According to the latest reports
the South River baseball nine and
the St. Anthony aggregation VIII
not play Sunday. 1t is believed mat
they will lie idle not because they
wish to, but they cannot arrange a
game. Why not have these Two
teams hook up in a battle for ms
date. 1t would be a good attraction
no doubt, and South River fandom

pleased to have the match made.
Manager Marty O'Hara has been
scurrying around for a game to keep
his favorites busy and as the FRANK
Inns have not given a favorable reply
to the Saints enticements for a bat

In an effort to break their losing
streak, the South River baseball nine
has engaged the services of Harry
Applegate, the star mound perform
er of this city, for their game against
the Athletics Saturday, which will
NOT BE PLAYED IN SOUTH
RIVER, but on Star field in South
Amboy. Followers and supporters
of the South River nine believe they
will win the bacon in this scheduled
battle with apple" on the slab and
it is safe to say that they will place
a few iron men to back their
thoughts.
On the other hand South Amboy
fans have predicted an easy victory
against the South RiVerites and haVe
only looked upon the battle between
these two mines as a side issue when
compared with the fray which will
he staged Sunday in the county seat
between the New Brunswickers and
the Athletics. However, the fans
from ORIOLES burg did not believe
that South River would have any
thing like Apologize up their sleeve
for the hurting department. And
after this announcement reaches the
South Amboy crew, they will feel the
Importance of the occasion and do a
little more doping instead of belley-
ing the game is cinched-that Is
speaking about the South River

Fish 7 aIeS.

Jake Apologize, of South Amboy,
a nephew of Captain Wood Apple
gate, of Morgan's Station, is consid-
cred one of the best-posted fisher
men along the Jersey coast. Jake
can smell a fish, and when he drops
a line overheard something is sure
to happen. Jake was down to Bar
negat Bay last week and on the way
out from Forked river he told the
guide to stop the boat at some sedge
grass inside OF a point. The guide
objected, saying that no II ever
caught fish there. Jake insisted that
he was paying for the boat and the
guide and he would fish that point
or go ashore. The guide gave in and
in three hours Jake had landed six
ty-one yellOw-fin weakflsh that aver
aged three pounds in weight. The
guide was dumbfOunded and hasn't
quit talking about it yet.
Fred Schmidt. the pork man of
Centre Market, is a somnambunst,
and this, combined with his sOnorifc
abilities, makes fishing impossible
on the pier at K~eansburg when Fred
is around. Last Sunday night the
kingfish were biting like mad, when
Fred, tired of pulling them in, fell
asleep. The first thing to go was
his fishing line and then he began to
snore From that time until he was
induced to go home not a fish was
caught. In fact a captain of a fish
ing smack mistook the snore for a
fog horn and kept blowing his until
Harry Osborne waved him away.
Several Newark vacationists at
K~eansburg are enjoying themselves
catching fish from the long pier. Will
Sternkopp caught fifteen kingfish
and eight cells; Fred Schmidt, seven
kingfsh and three fuke; Harry O.
Osborne landed 81 three-foot shark,
which he sent to lrvington for fer
tiliZer for his farm, and Henry Wese-
man and his boy caught eleven king
fish. Edward S~teinkopp landed eight
kingfsh and three fiuke.
Ike Mount, chief of the Highlands
fire department, has sent out invita-
tions to a number Of friends to be
present when he takes his family
out In his mOtorboat. Ike has had
this boat three years and in that
time he has painted it five times and
baiIed it out 945 times by actual
count of a sick n~eighbor. He has
purchased several flags and when he
leaves the dock his neighbors intend
to give him a good send-Off.

Basketball teams are beginning to
organize rapidly and it is now looked
upon as an easy matter to get in
touch with the managers of the dlf-
ferent quintets of last season. Joe
Billott-Joe, secretary of the Audlto-
rum. has received bids from many
SQUADS who proved themselves to be
of the classy calibre last season.
But he has only booked a few games
as yet.
Besides the Michelin Five, which
he has carded to face the "Riyies'

lege Settlement team for the attrac-
tion on October y. This game will
no doubt prove one of the best draw
ing cards of the month.

extra inning" Five minutes Of ex-
ira time was called and in that pc
Rod the locals dropped the encounter

crowd which witnessed this particu-
lar fray were cry enthusiastic over
the game and it was a topic of dis
cussion for several months after

OF HARRY APPLICANT

mound for the boys from O'Toole's
band to oppose Applegate. Murray
has taken part0 as twirler in about
twenty games this season and has
been the winner in every one of his
starts. When seen yesterday he
stated that he expected to keep up
his unbroken string OF victories, u
at the time of this statement he did
not know that the mighty Apple"
would oppose him. He probably has
his doubts about winning now. How
V you have to hand to the little
South Amboy lad, who will work his
bean" off to bring the bacon into
the camp of the Athletics whether
Apologize or anyone else opposes
him. Murray will not go in the
game expecting to lose-that's a
cinch. And with this spirit and good
support, 1t is probable that the game
will be an interesting one.
While we like to sing the praises
Of the South Amboy lad, no fair
minded fan would claim hal Apple
gate and Murray could be compared.
"Appie" is without doubt out Of
Borlund's class, being q mor eXpe-
rienced pitcher as well as a pitcher
who has baffled nearly every batter
i'll the county. South River defeated
the Athletics on Star field on a pre-
vious occasion and the local mound
performer did the twirling for them
in that game too. However, Atkln-
son opposed Harry in that fray and
on account of the New Brunswick
game Sunday, Atkinson will not
pitch Saturday.

Lewis played end for Harvard
against Fitzpatrick, the famous grid
iron star, and also figured in the
Yale-Harvard battle which ended

three times, once for baseball, track
and football. That he would make
a brilliant coach is believed by all
who have heard of him and so It Is
likely that Lewis's appearance here
Sunday will mean that the Dexters
will have a new coach to fill the
vacancy created by Hanson's exodus
from Dexter activities.

Since the Warren House has open

that now invade with custom that

covered who had not heretofore
presented his remarkable and i'm
measurable talents to the public for
inspection. Kaiser Wilhelm has at

ability and observation will reveal
the very noticeable search of the tall
timbers for the former shining
lights Of the tennis court, bowling

functions. A number of prizes have
been presented to him by the man

he will win. No boxer has yet put

The locals really believe they will

stated yesterday that his nine would
give a better account of themselves
than South River did and he also
maintained that this account would
bring victory into his camp. Every
one OF the players thinks the same
way as Bill does. While many South

winning as the team is, however,
every sport in this burg will make

Special to the EVENING NEWk.

South Amboy, Sept. 13:-Every
fan in this burg is going mutt" yer
the big game which is scheduled for
Sunday between the Dave Driscoll
New Brunswick crew and pop"
O'Toole's band Of warriors who
camp on local grounds. Not only
are the players dead gone" about
the game, but as Andy Borlund
states it, "the town is crazy about
the battle" Fandom is not prom
ised the great surprise Sunday which
they were given last week when the
South River nine travelled to the
county seat. However, this does
not kill the attraction or lessen it
when compared to the New Bruins
wick-South River game for several
reasons. One of these reasons is
that the South Amboy populace
wants the real and every day Ath-
letics to play the game, and not to
have the lineup padded. And Man
ager Bill O'Toole, the grand old
gent of South AmbOy spOrtdom,
promises to please his supporters by
having the regular squad walk out
on the diamond when his honor, Mr..
Umpire, makes a call to start pro-
ceedings.
However, if any of the players go
on an aviation trip, or, in other
words. play poor ball, Pop" O'Toole
will yank these out whether they are
regulars or not. Atkinson will be-
gin on the mound, according to the
manager, and is expected to do some
nifty work. But if "Ackie" weak
ems there will be another twirler on
the bench who will stroll out to tn
slab and is expected to give Ritter
some stiff opposition. This finger

1t seems likely that Thomas
Hanson, coach of the Dexter football
eleven of last season., will not be in
this city in time to help the Dexter
cause along. SO a man to take his
place Is being considered. Among
those who have been proposed is one
by Howard Hardiman. Hardiman
has a friend who played end for
Harvard's varsity gridiron squad
who, it is believed, will consent to
coach the local boys. Lewis is the
name of this Harvard man and it
will be decided Sunday whether or
