ALL STARS VS..
GILLESPIE 8

The Amboy All Stars are alFprimed
for their go with the Gillespie Five at
Palace Hall tonight, being confident
that the record which they have made
to date this season will not be dam
aged any as the result of this import
ant tussle. Nat Holman's cohorts
have yet TO bite the dust of defeat
and from present appearances it looks
as though the team which accom-
plishes this feat will have to have
more than the usual amount Of speed
and shooting ability.
The Gillespie quintet has owe
itself a strong aggregation this season
and the local champs will not have
much of a walk-away although past
performances point to the All Stars
being at the big end when the forty
minutes OF play has elapsed.
With Hank" Thomas at center,
the other players will arrange them
selves to the best advantage, probably
with Marty Kaufman and Ray Hand
erhan at the forwards positions and
Nat Holman, Bob Handerhan and
Burke to the rear.
The men from the Morgan plant
have not announced their lineup but
they can be counted on to bring their
strongest players as a victory tonight
over the local Stars would mean much
in building a reputation for them
selves.

SILENT MARTIN
HERE FRIDAY

The main attraction at the weekly
exhibition of the Lotos Club In Pal
ace hall on Friday night should bring
forth more fight FAM than has n
other bout staged by Joe McNulty at
his club, because Silent Martin. one
of the best middleweights in the game
and a mar well known in Perth AM
boy boxing circles, has been secured
to appear. AS his opponent, h mute
will have Johnny Saxon OF Newark, a
middleweight who will probably have
about ten pounds on the dummie.
Martin has not been seen in action
in his city since the old Permo days,
when scraps were staged In the Audi
forum. Since he left this place Mar
tin has been meeting some of the best
m-iddleweights In the business and al
though he has been beaten a few
times, most of his bouts have resulted
In Victories. He claims to DO the
champion middleweight mute of the
country and is well able to back up his
claim.
Johnny Saxon, who will oppose the
Dummy, has appeared at the Loto'
Club before this season and has shown
he has the necessary goods to give any
! opponent q go for his money Saxon
has met some OF the best men in his
class and can be relied upon to keer
things moving during the entire eigh'
rounds.
Joe McNulty has been endeavorins
to get Martin here for a III for some
time, but has not succeeded until now
In addition to this stellar attraction
| there will be two six round exhibition
and a four round preliminary. No in
| crease in prices will be made.

League May

Efforts are now being made by the
manager Of the Jewish welfare Board
activities in this city, Meyer Gordon, to
form a basketball league between
teams from Camp Raritan, Morgan,
Lakewood. Colonia, the local Coast
Guards. the Y. NJ. H. A., and any other
senior five which might want to join.
The Y. NJ. II. A. court here would be
available for such a league and ac-
cording to Mr.. Gordon, games could
be played twice a week.
There has not been a basketball
league in this city for the last two or
three seasons and such should be we'll
received. The ame which are
played here. however, are of a high
standard n the need of a league has
not been felt SO much.
A league such as is proposed. how

PLAY TO-DAY
(H. S. Correspondent.)

One game only will be played today
in the gym of the high school. st.
Peters high school team OF Jersey
City was to have brought both its first
and second teams to Perth Amboy,
but at the last moment Miss Bruins the
local coach, decided to cancel the
game between the second teams OF
the respective places, this being nee
essary because no men can be secured
from the squad to play in a second
game, since all the material may have
to be used to defeat the crack Jersey
City quintet.
This game will show whether the
crimson and white warriors are of
championship calibre or not, because
in the event that they win the game
this afternoon they will have defeated
one of the strongest teams In this part
of the state. The Jersey Cityites last
year numerically walloped the local
quintet and are confident hat they
will do the same thing this ear, but
the Amboy men are prepared TO send
the upstate boys back home in bitter
disappointment.
The material from which in all
probability the men will be chosen to
start the game this afternoon is com
posed of the following men:
Captain Deals Westcott, Red
Splitter, "Wee" Allen. forwards;
Duke Cannon Inc Fat Hanson,
centers: Dutch" Greiner. Billy
Flynn and mo" Splitter. guards.

LOCAL GIRLS
PLAY kEYPORl
tBy II. $. Correspondent

Wy IL D 1pli tSDbilIEIltt
Tomorrow will mark the opening Of
the basketball season for the girls
five of the high chool. 1t was not
known until yesterday what team
would oppose them in their initial
contest, but IL was then announced
by Miss Frances Hance, manager OF
the girls quintet, that Keyport high
school will be the ones to try the met
tie of the local girls when they made
their basketball debut.
The girls team has not a very siren
uous or lengthy schedule this year,
due to the fact that most of the high
schools in the state devoted almost
all their efforts in the attempt to
have a good representative boys team
and SO neglected the girls. Also an
other factor that entered into the
matter is that coaches this year are
none too available.
Some schools are of the opinion
that the students In the school for the
most part are not interested in girls
games. but this is not true in Amboy
high because, although the girls have
not many games scheduled. they have
been practicing under the able tute-
lage of Coach Miss Burns, and are
ready to put UP a good brand of bas-
ketball when the call comes for them
to play. The girls have three players
from the crack team of last year who
are strong contenders Tor Derths on
the quintet this year, namely, Dis
Macan, forward and captain of this
years team; Ada Wilentz. forward,
AM Frances Hance, side center and
manager OF the team.
Keyport is not reputed to have a
very strong team this year and last
year the local girls defeated h OUT
of-town ~lassies. and the boys early
this season walloped the boys team
: from across the bay.
The squad from which the team
will be selected is Dis Macan, Frances
Hance, Ada Wilentz, Liz Dolan. Anna
Handerhan, Rose Levy, Katherine
Henry. Edith Ramsay. Irma Sterns
Eta Skillen, Ethel David, Clara Gers
lufson and Ericka Dettmer.
