Shortly after the whistle had blown

the storm OF blows which Mickey was
landing on him. The bell stopped
hostilities n during the minutes
rest Joe managed to get back some
OF his wind.
At the beginning of the second
round Mickey came out of his corner
with a rush, intent upon finishing up
Cozzolino then and there. He mis-
judged Joe's staying qualities, how
ever. and although the round was
easily his, Mickey was unable to force
Cozzolino to take the count.
Between the second and third
rounds Joe revived surprisingly and
in the third the going was almost
even. 1t could be seen that he was
getting stronger each round while
Mickey, who had been rushing mat
ters during the first two rounds, was
slowing down. The fourth round
tuck and in the fifth and sixth Coco
limo came back sufficiently to give
him as much claim to the bout as
Mickey, 1t being the general opinion
that ii was a draw.
Joe's wonderful comeback during
the last three rounds of the fight to-
gether with his gameness in sticking
through the first two rounds struck a
popular chord with his audience. As

Ray Hatfield secured n technical

credit for the bout. Kid cy was not

in order to catch a train. Jefferies
consequently won the match.

High too Much
For Crimson White FiUe

(By High School Correspondent
The Amboy high boys varsity met
its first defeat of the season yesterday
afternoon in a hard fought game to
Neptune high OF Asbury Park, the
team which has always in the past
proven tho stumbling block of the
Crimson and White tossers. The Wis
iting five won $50, taking a lead of
thirteen points in the first half and in
creasing it to sixteen during the last
chapter.
1t took Amboy twenty minutes to re-
alize what they were up against and
then il vas too late to pick up the
points which they had lost in the
first half. The opening minutes OF the
game were marked by hard playing
on either side. only one or two points
separating the teams. but at the close
of the first half the Neptune boys
started on n streak of playing which
resulted in them getting 4 tremendous
lead.
At the opening of the game the To-
Gals appeared with Cannon at center,
Westcott and Red" Splitter forwards
and Greiner and Flynn. guards. The
Asbury Park players went through
the whole game with their same line
up, which consisted of Clancy and
Grayatt, forwards; Griffin center. and
Holmes and Downing. guards.
At the beginning OF the second half
Hanson was put in in place of Cannon
at center and Moe Splitter relieved
Flynn at guard. Later in this half
Captain "Beals" Westcott went out
of the game and Billy Allen was in
stalled in his place.
The down skaters were held down to
eight points in the final session while
the Amboy team collected hve counts.
The local boys put up a hard fight but
could not stop the larger. heavy and
moro experienced fellows from Nep-
tune. The visitors showed fine form
but could not become accustomed TO

poor features OF the high school court.

court.
Clancy and Griffin proved to be the
stars OF the visitors. the former MAX

Advice to the Lovelorn
Could Not Count on Him as Fricn

Could Not Count on Him as Friend
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Have been going about with a
young man for the past two years
l love him dearly and am more than
sure my love is returned. About
six months ago he began to study
and then he wrote me saying he
could not see me for a while, but
could still count on him as friend.
l did not hear from him after this
and was very miserable.
Last week I received a letter stat
ing that he wanted to see me at a
certain place. When l got there
was informed that he was i'll. !
wrote to him asking him to let me
know how he was getting along, but
he has not answered. l do not know
whether he is still ill, and l don't
want to give him the satisfaction of
writing. ANXIOUS.
1t would seem to an impartial on
locker that the young man, unless he
were prevented by grave illness from
keeping the appointment, has not
treated you very well. He was at
tentive to you for two years, then
made the excuse that his studies
would prevent him from seeing you,
but he hoped to keep you as
friend" This is the language, from
time immortal, employed by men
when they are trying to slip out of
an affair gracefully. L should try
to forget him, if possible.

There has never been a religion
and remission of sins Repent, and
ye shall be saved" 80 far as the

l removed thy transgressions from
thee Though. thy sins be as
scarlet, they shall be white as snow"

from the sacred books of all races.
Every sin is sure of it's punish

wretch who has climbed out of the

ing hands?
If we are truly the pure in heart
we do not go about looking for i'm
purity in others. If we are really
good, we see in others the angel that
lives in us all.
If in weakness and abasement and
remorse we may not turn to some
heart, secure that we shall find the
love that hopeth all things, believeth
all things, forgiveth all things, then
that heart is less than ours, for we
have believed, in it and it has failed

wondered how much it would tell
Anthony Norreys of my original
plans to remain with Betty - and
my later determination to run away.
But whatever Tony surmised, he
said nothing. He remained instead
on the surface of things. not even
daring to go too deeply into a dis
cussion of Betty's suffering. So our
good-by was almost formal That
seemed odd. 1t hurt little. too.
, Thinking about Betty and Tony
and the way l had run away from
him, kept my mind whirling all the
way to the city. And then with a
jar like the sudden grinding of the
trains airbrakes. my mind came TO
full stop and then dashed on
again.
This was the night of our dinner
and theater party. and l had for
gotten all about it.
OF course l might still taxi to the
Walgrave, dress and join the party
at the theater. But | was in no
sihle that Jim and Virginia had
asked someone else to fill my place.
My coming to the theater might be
decidedly awkward. Best from
every point of view to stay in the
WalgraVe.
SO once ! arrived at our rooms I
flung off my clothes. had a hot
bath and then-getting into a negli-
gee-carried out a soft down puff
to the living room and arranged
myself on the big divan there. I'd
rest until Jim returned.
Far too excited to sleep, / lay on
the couch mulling over the events
of the day. The outstanding thing
to my way of thinking was this:
Terry had understood my keeping
him in the dark about Bettys prob
able fate. but at her question he

that he'd known from the first.
