The Melting Pot
Sport News Boiled Down


Following is a letter received from
Phil Black. OF Staten Island. which
speaks for itself;
SPORTING EDITOR:
Having heard all about Joe Ho-
mans numerous challenges, I wish to
state that on behalf of my brother,
Joe Black, I'll accept his challenge
for whatever date he desires for Joe
has kept himself continually in con-
dition. Joe Is by no means an old
man. as some people would believe
him to be for Joe is but twenty-seven
years old. He Is old alone in expert
ence, and should he leave 1t entirely
to this one fact, he Is certain that
the Fighting Waiter would be on the
receiving end.
1.-THE local fight fans still can re-
member the two memorable fights
between these two boys at TottenYille
the first one being by Joe Honan hit
ting my brother On the back from a
clinch, which is a fowl and the ref
cree stopped it after Black had got
up and was apparently able to con-
tinue. This also didn't occur until
the last round.
Their second fight had no such
ending. In fact Honan's wonderful
wallop had no effect whatever on the
Kid and naturally went the limit.
Now concerning this bout. Joe
Black wants to show the Perth Am
boy followers of the Waiter that he's
not so awfully wonderful as they re-
ally think, n for thai reason Joe
has trained himself into even better
condition than he use to be in when
fighting before. For the past month
he has been mauling both myself and
other brother John around just
as though We were amateurs so hope
that Mr.. McNulty will take notice of
this little item and try to induce Mr..
Honan to mingle for eight rounds or
less with Joe Black.
Thanking you for the favor, I am,
Sincerely,
"PHIL BLACK"

the Methodist Sunday school team,

League, and then made good with
the Amboy Stars, claimants for the
city Championship. He is sure to
show improvement this year.
Manager Booz has not decided on
the fifth man as yet, but has had a
number Of likely candidates practlc-
ing for the position. Charley Sher,
a star forward, formerly playing with
the crack Y. NJ. H. A. of a few years
ago, is the most likely candidate for
the position, and if he is chosen to
fill the berth we believe hat he will
complete a wonderful team.
Manager Booz would like to hear
from the best teams in this section,
and can be reached by addressing
communications to him, care the

out the best teams, SO that he can
offer his patrons the best attractions.

Auditorium Fiue' Organized
By "Pox" BO0z To Have Fast
Team For NeW Jersey HonorS

Another basketball team has made
known the fact that it will be on the
basketball court this year, and from
a glance at the lineup one can see
that it will knock 'em all dead.
This team will be known as the
Auditorium Five, and will have as its
home court the New Auditorium,
which is being repaired in classy
style, and will soon be ready for real
Gene of many basketball battles in
the past, as well as many other ath-
letic sports.
Louis "Pox' Booz, well known to
the sporting fraternity of Perth Am
boy, having been interested in all
lines of sport for many a year, will
AVE the management Of the hall and
the team strictly in his hands.
Wherever he has been interested in
the past his undertakings were car-
ried out in a bu~siness-like manner,
and he promises to continue his good
name by running his new home to
suit his patrons.
Booz expects to start the new ath-
letic history of the hall with basket
ball, and he is constantly in commu-
nication with the Sterlings of South
River and the Michelins of Midtown
for a game to be played here on the
Op64ltS Ai5l1Ly~ o1CQIN1yb OSbO0C -
Either of these teams would GER
tafnly offer a classy tussle as the
opening battle Of the season n the
rivalry between Perth Amboy and
these towns has always been intense.
Boo expects to run dancing in
connection with the basketball exhf-
bition, but he promises to allot a
certain time for basketball and a
certain time for dancing, which
- L1-A a. a~ann will NOT no
on the floor while basketball prac-
tice or the regular game is in session.
and the time allotted for dancing viii
not be taken up for basketball prac-
tice. In this way accidents can be
avoided and nj patrons can be Of
Tended, for it is often the case that
some people come up to take part In
the dancing only.
The Auditorium Five will be MADE

Johnny" McCreery, formerly OF
the Riversides, and VINO is getting IN

mix with everyone.

which he made while in the service.
Hanks" ability as q basketball play

looked on, by a great many mana
gers, as a strong man for their
teams.
"Blackie" Regain, also formerly Of
the Riversides, but most recently of
the Y. M. c., is another star secured
by Manager Booz. Eddie was the
star Of the Auditorium in the olden
days. His speed and ability has at
tracted q great nan managers and
he was offered berths by a great

Riversides and the Y. M. G. This

Earl Neale. the Ciucy right fielder,

Both secured three hits out Of four
chances. AL were singles with the
exception OF one triple by Daubert.

Sox, was the only member of that

By The Assocfated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 2.-Just as q
good golfer must keep his y on the
ball so must a champion baseball
player keep his mind on the game.
The ability of the Cincinnati players
10 think baseball, dream baseball, talk
baseball and live baseball has made
them a pennant winning aggregation,
according to Manager Pat Moran.
IF the fellows had thought about
automobiles, shows and everything
else, in the world but baseball they
would not be where they are now"
said Moran In explaining how his
team captured the National league
flag, and become contenders for the
Worlds Championship. II guess that
holds good in most any game You are
playing. A player must be interest
ed and he must think about his game.
When he does this he Is always up and
roming, taking advantage of every op-
portunity."
Pat has been characterized as a
miracle man, wonderful leader and
30 on through the c~atalog of descrip-
tive phrases hui he modestly insists
the players are responsible for the
success of the Cincinnati club.
81 have a great ball club that's the
whole story" he said mot only is
1T a great ball club, but 1t Is a club
of fellows who take care of them
selves and put their minds on their
work. No man can make good In any
line of life unless he has the instru-
ments to succeed with. I have a good
bunch Of players so give them the
credit. All I did was to hold the
Boys together. They won the bal
games"
Followers Of the Reds, however
win not let Moran take a back seal
without showering some praise OF
him. They say that Cincinnati had
players but that 1t took a good mana
ger to mould them into a winning ma
chine. Any Cincinnati fan will swear
that Pat Is a good manager.
Eddie Roush, who Cincinnati fans
expect. will be an important factor II
the present world series games with
his heavy hitting, would not be play
ing baseball today but for an inner,
ent owe of the game which enabled
him to overcome q severe handica1
some years ago.
When Roush first began playing
professional baseball he was an in
fielder and a right-handed thrower
Now he is an outflelder, considered
to he one of the best in either league
and throws with his left hand.
The change brought through al
accident in which Roush's right arm
was broken. 1t didn't heal properly
and when the cast was taken off
Roush found that his arm was So
weak that it would be impossible fol
him to ever whip the BAH cro the
diamond with his old speed.
First he decided to quit baseball
but found that was easier said thar
done. With the warm weather came
the longing to get hold of a bat ant
glove-but the right arm had NJ
strength.
Determined not to be kept out o
the game, Roush decided to learn tt
