For the benefit of those who have
lust been released from jail, we VIII
again that the Rivers1des
md Puritans will battle in the great
.st clash of the season Friday night
On the Auditorium court. While
vou fans may not think that there Is
rs much rivalry at present over THIS
contest as there was last season over
the memorable Riverside-Pnrltan
game, nevertheless 1t Is u But
the rivalry is along clean sportsman
ship lines. There has been no mud
slinging whatsoever by either team,
although the members and followers
of either combine have v nes1-
tated to tell Of their confidence III
their favorites.
To show that the old spirit OF clean
rivalry and confidence Is still in the
camps, greenbacks are being waived
about by many followers OF ootn
teams. That North Amboy fandom
are supporting the Puritans as
staunchly as they did last season
seems to be the true fact about the
matter. Midtown believes that the
Puritans will win with their ~favorlte,
Charlie Crabiel. South Amboy Is
bowling for Jimmy Canton and the
Puritans, and every other point In
the county has picked its fayor1tes.
That Sullivan will hold McCreery

away from Wand. and that Burns
will be lost against Crabiel is the
dope Of the most optimistic Puritan

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Nearly every future great" in the
city has already found his glove and
ball and has played baseball several
times. The little lads do not need a
marked off baseball diamond to play
the game and in most cases find
themselves content with the ordi-
nary street pavement. State street,
or at least the part south of Smith
street, is occupied by future Mat
tvs" and "Hans Wagners'' more
than any other street perhaps.
Washington street probably comes
next for many lads can be seen there
daily after school hours singing the
pellet about.
The boys greet the baseball
weather. with more delight than
they do penny gifts" Every little
lad has already decided with what
team he will play and we will pub
lish some day Mex week with whom
most of the well known baseball
players in the future greats" class
have signed up.
The sporting editor will gladly
receive any communication from any
of the little lads, especially those
telling with what teams they will
play during the coming season.

Vincent Riedy, a prominent North
Amboy supporter OF the Puritans,
who probably voices the opinion Of a
large number of his friends, states
that he believes his favorites will
win the clash because of Schwartz's
ability over Wand. He also points
out that Deegan and Sullivan r a
wonderful combination of guards,
while he says non too much when
he adds that Crabiel and CANTON are
a duo of forwards who r hard to
equal.
Here is Riedy's exact dope: "In
my opinion the Puritans are going
to win the game and ! base my opin-
ion on the fact that Schwartz at the
center position will outjump Wand
and he Is also a surer shot. Deegan
and Sullivan are the best team OF
