Showing up to better advantage
than he has eve done in h local
ring before, landing more and heavier
blows h his opponent and contin-
ually forcing the fight, Kid Potty.
the Amboy f~eatherweight champ, last
night knocked out Joe Forgione, of
Newark, in the sixth round of their
scheduled eight-round bout at the
Lotos Club.
AS in the Willard Dempsey fight
the gong saved Forgione from an
earlier defeat as he was knocked to
the floor in the fifth by Potty fol-
lowing o. terrific onslaught by the
local boy. Just as Referee Charlie
Roden had counted three over For
gione the gong sounded and he was
saved from losing the decision in that
round.
Hard work by his seconds soon
brought Forgione back to something
like his former self but the telling
blow Potty had landed on him had
weakened him to such an extent that
he sought to clinch and lay his
p~ortunity.
Potty Works Fast
In the sixth round Potty thought of
but one thing-to land haymaker and
finish the bout quickly. He was on his
man every secon of the round jab-
bling him, bringing his head up with
upper cuts and landing body punches
whose effect could easily be seen.
After standing this torture for about a
minute, Forgione was knocked flat.
1t could be seen by the way he drop
ped that he had received more than
his share. As soon as the count of ten
had been made over him Potty enthu-
siasts invaded the ring to congratulate
their favorite. Forgione was taken to
his corner by his seconds and nursed
back to full consciousness.
The knocking Out of Forgfone by
Potty came as a surprise to most
of those at the fight as past records
would indicate that the Newarker
was the better man. Forgione, upon
his appearance in this city before, de-
feated Willie Curry, of Staten Island.
Curry in turn defeated Potty and later
fought the local featherweight champ
to draw, The natural conclusion would
have been hat Forgione would have
the better part of a bout with Potty.
But in last nights bout the dope
favoring Forigone was all wrong as
could be seen early in the second
round. In the first round Potty took
it easy finding out just what Forgione
had. The Newarker had things slight
ly his way during the first three min
utes but it was the only time during
the whole bout that there was any
chance of giving Forgione credit for
leading. In the second round Potty
began to let loose. And let loose he
did opening up Forgione defense with
a left and right uppercut, which
worked like a can opener and then
following this with a straight right
of left swing which made the New
arker think he was taking a course
In astronomy instead of being n of
the principals in a boxing bout.
In the third round Potty was going
strong and it would not have sur
prised the fans if the Amboy lad had
landed the deciding blow at this time.
But Forgione can take punishment
and take it he did. The only time he
connected on Potty, with few keep
lions, was when he got the local boy
up against the rope and would shower
blows to Potty's head, which was so
covered by his defense that it did but
little harm.

SAIL AND POWER
BOAT RACES
HERE TODAY
Raritan Yacht Club to Conduct
Three Events This After
noon

The first races of the season to be
conducted by the Raritan Yacht
Club, of this city, are scheduled to be
staged this afternoon in Raritan bay,
consisting of a sailboat race, a mo-
torboat bang-and-go-back race and
a motorboat single race. The time
set for the first race, that in which
the sailing craft will compete, is 1880
o'clock. Shortly after these boats
have gotten under way the bang
and-go-back event will be started inc
at the conclusion of the yacht ace
the shingle race will be held.
As no entries would be received
until noon today and before 2 o'clock
this afternoon it has been impossible
to learn how many and what sail and
m~otorboats will participate. Many of
the members of the yacht club and
friends are expected to be on the pier
and at the clubhouse to witness to-
days features. Similar races, with
additional events, probably including
canoe races, will be planned for the
remainder of the summer.
The sailboat race will be conduct
I'd on the handicap system, one min
ute pei foot per ten miles being al
lowed. Additional handicaps for
yachts having motors will probably
be given to allow for the drag of the
propeller.
The course for the yacht race viii
be from the judges boat, moored of
the Yacht Club pier, to the light
house to Buoy 10 and return. If the
wind is favorable and weather con-
ditions OK. the race will take the
boats twice over this course. Other
wise one lap only will constitute the
race. Two prizes will be awarded in
this event, the winning yacht getting
a trophy and the second boat a prize
of some essential boat fitting.

from the third round on. He did not
have the steam behind his punches,
his attitude was groggy and he Lack
ed the footwork which has always
marked his fighting.
Potty is deserving of a lot of credit
for the exhibition put up by him last
night, his improvement over the last
time he fought standing out boldly at
all times. The general concensus of
opinion last night was that, had Willie
Curry opposed Potty instead of For
gione, the lad from the Island would
have been defeated, unless he toe m
proved greatly since his last fight with
Potty.

UNUSUAL FEATS
WITH THE Gun
TomIin Runs 326 Straight and
Clark 27O---Other
Big Scores

A number of professional and anna
teur trapshooters are blazing the well
worn trail smashing the everlasting
tar out of the clay targets as they go,
compiling one long run after another
and making the figures in the average
column look respectable.
Homer Clark, professional in the
Mississippi State shoot, broke go
straight and 1896 out of the 400 targets
thrown. This straight run of Clark's
is the longest that has ever been made
in a registered tournament by a pro-
fessionaI since Lester German shat
tered 372 at the Westy Hogans in
1915. Clark had a run of Az last
year, but his longest in n registered
shoot was 247.
Bart Lewis, another professional
from the Illinois district. in a success
sion of tournaments through the Mid
die West compiled q straight run Of
352 targets. Bill Crosby, who led the
American shooters in average when
they outshot the Englishmen in 1901
Is shooting better than he has for a
decade, and Neat Apgar, the deal of
Eastern professionals, who has been
shooting fer two generations, is point
ing better than ever, for in a shoot
at Catawissa, Pa, he broke $50
straight.
Troeh is Always Good.
Frank Throeh, that wonderful piece
of shooting machinery of Vancouver,
Wash, is averaging better than 81
per cent. In the Oregon State shoot
Troeh had a run of 161 and five runs
better than SO. In the Washington
State championship event he broke
298 out of 500 targets, having a
straight run of 200. In Troeh Wash
ington has an able representative in
the National championship event.
Fred Tomlin, the former New Jer-
sey champion, in the Lakewood tour
nament compiled a run of 293 from
16 yards-the best amateur run of he
year. That 293 straight does not tell
the real work of Tomlin, for he added
SO more from % yards before he miss
ed-a straight run of S26, but the
rule adopted by the American Trap
shooting Association this year gives
Tomlin only the first mentioned run.
1t is more than likely that the rule
will be done away with after this sea-
son., and the original rule of giving a
shooter full credit for the number of
broken targets, whether they are
from 16 yards or in a handicap event,
revived.

spend only a day or two here
during the week will not be
benefited in proportion. Each
day there will be a certain
phase Of tractor work taken up
and in addition there will be
testing demonstrations going on
turnout the week.
There will be exhibits Of trac-

make it possible for the farmer
