final round was all Leonard's, one
blow to Dundee's head turning him
completely around. Patsy Cline of
Newark refereed the match.
Leonard. according to the weights
announced prior to the bout, had
slightly over six pounds on his oppo-
nent, Benny Weighing in at 1861 and
Dundee at 1870. As early as 6 o'clock
the huge armory was filled to capacity
by enthusiastic followeds of the fight
ing game. The steel girders offered a
~clinging surface for hundreds who
made as much noise and enjoyed the
exhibitions as well as the possessors
of ringside box seats.
The layout of the armory made it
possible for all to see and the absence
of smoking gave a clear vision of the
fighters to everyone. The armory was
policed by soldiers, b%luecoats and
plainciothes men, no trouble whatso-
ever being experienced during the
night.

Knocked out Freddie Reese, one of

DOUBLE HEADER
/. s. TOMORROW
Boys Play South River for Sec
ond Time and Girls Meet
North PIainfieId
(By H. S. Correspondent

~ wi SoROAAAlthlt
A double-header will feature at the
local high school gym tomorrow af-
ternoon. Besides the girls game be-
tween the representing ives of Amboy
and North Plainfeld the local boys
will play against South River high
school. South River high has already
met with a defeat at the hands of the
local team earlier in the season. The
South River team has not met with
much success so far. Besides being
defeated by Amboy they have also
suffered at the hands of Rutgers Prep
n by st. Peters Prep, both of New
Brunswick. The latter by a score of
47-3. This is explained by the fact
that South River has no court of its
own and also no coach This is the
disadvantage that has rover a userl-
GUS obstacle to many a good high
school team.
The locals held practice yesterday
In anticipation of tomorrowis game.
A practice game WAS held between
W chosen teams OF local material.
The beating administered the locals by
the locals at all. They are sure OF
defeating the South River bunch.
Girls Game Cancelled
No game was played at the local
high school yesterday afternoon us
was arranged. The local girls team
were 10 play the nNe OF
Matawan high. Coach Miss Burns, of
the locals, cancelled this game as a
game was previously arranged for
Wednesday with Plainfield. The local
girls have not reached their maximum
strength which would enable them to
play two games in three days.
Tomorrow will see the local girls
team in action, however. this time
against the North Plainfield high
school females. The Amboy team de-
featcd the North Plainfield five last
year in two games. The first game
was played at the Plainficld court
and resulted in the victory for the
locals by the close score of S0-31. Tho
second game played here did not
bring Amboy much added glory as
two of the visiting five's stars were i'll
and could not put in an appearance,
being s~upplanted by subs. This game
was won by the locals by the one
sided score of 45-1S. The visiting
team have practically all veterans in
their lineup this year and should give
Amboy a good go. This will mark
the opening of the home season for
the girls and they are confident of de-
feating the visitors and showing the
local fans just what they are made of.
The same with Matawan will be play
ed at a later date.
