Kid POtty Asks
$50 To Meet
Willie CuYYu

Kid Potty. the local bantam. is
willing to meet Willie Curry. the Stat
en- Island favorite. providing Curry
weighs in at 1875 and Promoter Joe
McNulty pays Potty $3.50. A letter
received by the Sporting Editor from
Kid Potty sets forth these facts, to-
gether with an explanation of why he
in his last bout here.
Potty's letter follows:
Sporting Editor,
Perth Amboy Evening News.
Will you kindly publish. the follow
ing statement from myself to the
sporting fraternity of Perth Amboy.
1t was announced at the Lotos Club
Monday night by Joe HUMPHREYS that
efforts were being made by Joseph
McNulty to match Willie Currie OF
Staten Island against me. Announcer
HUMPHREYS added that he hoped the
match could be arranged-for the in
terest of the boys themselves and
also for the entertainment OF h pat
rons of the Lotos Club. .
1 wish to say right here that / am
willing to meet Willie Curry at the Lo-
tos Club or any other club, any time
My only stipulation in regard to Curry
is that he weigh in ct 125 pounds
on the night of h contest OF for
felt $50. My w weight will not be
ONeT lLo Il. II idoi III aBpC1ADA
in the Lotos ring / was outweighed ten
pounds-which was not according to
agreement-but hat &C many of my
friends who had come to see mo
would not be disapppinted-I went on
and despite the handicap gave a good
account of myself. That is the only
reason why I did fight hat night
the few extra dollars l received were
a small inducement.
Here is the point I wish o mako
clear. i am no gutter: l have not
yet been defeated In this city; j draw
a big house every time l am matched
and I do my best to give the pat
rons their moneys worth. If this Is
all true and / am satisfied with your
judgment, Mr.. Editor, l am a draw
ing card and IL I am a drawing card
I am entitled TO real money Few pu-
gilisfs are in the game for fun n /
am not one of them, although / don't
want a million dollars for fighting
Curry. I don't like to use your space
Nh. Editor to talk money, but ii Is
the only way i W. to state my case
to the fight fans OF Perth Amboy. I
want them to know that i am fair.
and the best proof of my statements
is tina I am willing TO meet Curry
IL Mr.. McNulty will agree to pay me
$50. I received S125 for my last bout
and there is no question that a match
with currie would pack the Lotos
Club. Furthermore, Mr.. McNulty has
paid more than $3.50 to n OF the
principals of a star bout, and while
he was a well known fighter and one
with a big reputation, the bou did
not draw a crowd and the Lotos Club
lost money that night. ! am not a
hold-up man. / only want a fair
share of the proceeds. which ! know
will be realized If / am matched.
/ want to thank you again Mr.. Edi-
tor for allowing me this space and
also to again say to the sporting fra
ternity and my many friends that IL
you don't ever see me o again at
the Lotos Club you will know the rea-
son why.
Yours sincerely.
KID POTTY.

H. 8. BOYS PLAY
NEPTUNE TO-DAY
Asbury Park Team Completes
Schedule on Home Court This
P. M.--GirIS' Game Monday
(By H. s. Correspondent

ID II. D. julius VlldtIty
Amboy high will strive to mike It
seven straight today when they will
journey to Asbury Park, where they
meet the strong Neptune high school
five. h is an exceedingly hard task
as Neptune has a crack combination
OF players that have already defeat
ed the locals in a game played on the
Anboy court. The Neptune phalanx
has been downed but five times this
season out of fourteen games. East
Side high of Newark and Asbury Park
high we're two of the fves vanquish-
Ing Neptune. Tofay' game completes
Neptune's basketball schedule for
this eaSon and they ore confident of
erdrn up a successful season in "a
victory.
Tine Crimson and White dribblers
have six straight victories to their
credit, Keyport, st. Peters high and
Rutgers Prep. both of New Bruins
wick, Railway, Alumni and Red Bank
having been beaten by Amboy.
Today's game almost completes the
schedule of Manager scoop" Hib-
bard, but n more game to be play
ed and that with New Brunswick high
next Friday at the local court. Eight
straight is the ambition of the z. A.
team and from the rate they have
been travelling this ambition will be
realized even against such formidable
opponents as Neptune and Brunswick
high. Those who will max the trip
to Asbury Park are Capt. Westcott,
Red Splitter and Watson Johnstone,
forwards; Miney Cannon, CENTER;
Billy Flynn, Mo Splitter and Abe
petbs, guards.
The local girls basketball five will
play their next game Monday when
they stack up against the Red Bank
high girls. The Red Bank girls have
already defeated the locals in a game
played at Red Bank.

y. NJ. H.. A. Willing To Meet
Kelsey's AH-Star Quintet

Buck" Margaretten, manager OF
the local Y. NJ. H. A. basketball team,
in "a statement tins morning regard
tends hat his team is superior to
Kelsey's All-Stars both collectively
and Individually. Buck" asserts that
h "Y" team last year was better
than the local All-Stars this year and
as the Manhattan All-Stars defeated
last years III. A" team, the men
representing the local association.
which is superior to that Manhattan
team according to Charley Farrer,
who played with the Manhattan team
last year. will hav an eas time dis
posing of the Kelsey quintet.
Still quoting Margaretten. he ad-
mits that Nat Holman is about the
~cleverest of the clever but he never
thelcss insists that Charley Farrer,
whom Nat will guard, should these
teams meet, will extend Holman to
his utmost In order to hold him to
anything like a reasonable score. In
support of this fact Buck points
back to last years game between the
local "Y" and the Manhattan ALL
Stars when Charley Farrer ran away
from Holman and scored nine baskets
while Nat located once. In another
game between these two teams Nat
again played Farrer but Charley
shook him long enough to score -four
field goals while Nat accounted 70
only two. Farrer was the only man
during the twenty tive games that
Holman played hero last year.
Bob Handerhan. the other All-Star
guard, would have Sontag to take
care Of and in Bucks opinion Sontag
will score galore from his man. In

support of this statement Buck points
to the RIVE game in which SontaS

who, in Margaretten's estimation, IS
undoubtedly superior to Bob Handler
han.
" Handerhan, who Is considered
one of the best shots in the county,
will meet n worthy foe in Billy Will

sity player who held Ray to n bas-
ket In the recent Riverside game.
Marty Kaufman, Holman,s side
kick. will be practically useless with
Cherry. the clever guard of the III. A.
team, Margaretten continues. Cherry
Is thou doubt the cleverest and
local court. Invariably he energies
from a scrinlmaSe with the ball in
his possession and u smile on his face.
Tic is a clean player and fast, being
n of the most essential cogs in the
H. A. machine.
Stotz would jump center against
Dutch" the lew All-Star pivot, and
although Buck" asserts that he is as
~oad as the rest of the team and fast
nc does not compare these two
men as Dutch is more or less an
enigma.
The Y. M. H. A. team then, accord
ing to Manager M~8rgaretten, is supe.

viduaIly and collectively.
