Dg 49, ."
The scheduled game between the
local high school nine and the team
of Red Bank high was cancelled yes
terday afternoon at the asst minute.
The local can had already started
for Red Bank when the message
came that the manager of the out
of-town nine cancelled the game on
account of rain. The game will be
played later in the season. The next
Perth Amboy players stack up
against the nine representing South
River high school. The game will be
played on the Copper Works dia-
mond.
Amboy's not playing yesterday will
give Billy Flynn, the Perth Amboy
twirler, a much needed rest, after de-
feating Irvington high 2-1, striking
out eighteen men and holding them
to -four scattered hits. Not any errors
were marked against the locals for
the first time this season. The Amboy
players played like big leaguers and
they should encounter little difficulty
in emerging victors from the tussle
with South River high, although
South River Is reputed to be a fast
team.
The Irvington game was won after
a d-iscouraging defeat by st. Bene-
diets Prep of Newark and the locals
showed up to much advantage. al
though playing without Jour of their
regulars. John Stocked, Ray john
son, Claude Sofield and Isadore Du-

now out after bouts with Kid Potty,
one of these boys being well known
in this city and vicinity while the
other is a total stranger to followers
of the fight game here. Joe Forgione,
Of Newark, is one of the lads out at
ter Potty's scalp and Joe Basco who
has pust arrived here to make his
home in this city from Akron, Ohio,
is the other challenger.
Forgtone Is anxious to meet Potty
and in order that there may be no ar
gument as to weight Joe promises to
make any weight the local feather
weight does. Forgione is willing to
post a forfeit for weight. The New
ark boy declares he is willing to meet
Potty half way and will not place any
unreasonable conditions.
Basco, the Ohio scrapper, claims to
have quite a record and Will be able
to make any Wright between IL and
1928 he asserts. He has decided to
make his home in this city because
of the boxing activity here and hopes
to be able to show his worth against

These two men have been opposing
each other in all forms of sports for

heavyweight champ of Staten Island,
he has decided to contest Roberts

Tommy Murphy. another islander,

Ingot Team Will Again Endeav-
or to Open Season If Weather
Permits

The Raritan Copper Works team
after being unsuccessful last Satur-
day In opening its 1919 baseball sea-
son owing to the rain, will again en-
deavor to start things going this Sat
urday afternoon on its own field when
1t meets the Raritan River Railroad
Company's team from South Amboy.
The men from across the River claim
to have a strong combination so that
the Ingots are expecting considerable
opposition.
The game which was scheduled to
be played last week with the Clark
team OF Bayonne Will probably be
staged later IN the season. The In
got combination looms up strong on
paper and az it Is composed of almost
the same players who formed the
championship combination in years
gone by the nine should have little
trouble in having a successful season.
The addition OF "Pud" Stinson to
the Copper Works lineup is a big
asset and there Is a possibility now
that Mickey" Loeser will be gotten
back. he now being with q profess
