Wants
Curry To Post
$50 Forfeit

The contract for the proposed eight
round fight between Kid Potty of
this city and Willie Curry Of Staten
Island, has not been signed as yet,
Potty now refusing to sign until Curry
posts a forfeit of $50 hat he will not
weigh more than 126 pounds on the
day OF the bout. Potty has placed
o forfeit of $50 with the Sporting
Editor of the NEWS and declares that
when Curry does likewise, to insure
his weighing in at the stipulating
amount, he will sign the contract
and not before.
The date set in the contract, which
has been signed already by Promoter
Joe McNulty and needs only the sig
nature Of Potty and his manager, Kid
Clemens. t sew up the bout, Is Fri
day night, April 4. This is next week
so If the scrap is to be held then some
speed work will have to be done in
order to give McNulty time to prop
erly advertise the fight which should
be a big drawing card.
Potty has had everything his own
thus far, his demand for $3.50 to
meet Curry being met by McNulty
after which the date of the bou was
one week, in order that
Potty might get in the proper condi-
ton. Potty has again stalled. this
time declaring that without Curry
posting a forfeit equal to his of $50
the bout will not be held.

H, 8. BOYS END
SEASON TODAY.
In Game on Local Gym. Court
AGAINST Strong New Bruins
wick High
fRv II. s. CORRESPONDENT

(BX HI. y. COIkIhG1CE
Amboy High in clashing with the
| Brunswick High School team in the
local gymn today, will lineup agalnst
the most determined combinations OF
basketball players that have raced
| them this season. The Brunswickers
have been defeated by the local team
| earlier this season. They have put IN
a claim for he Middlesex county
/ championship, which has not peen
recognized by any of the county
schools as it is conceded that the Am
how school is the undisputed claimant
to that honor.
The county seat school has always
been the stumbling block of Amboy
| highs championship honors, put TINS
year has proven to the rams mat
brunswick can be beaten by the locals
The fact that Amboy defeated the
County Seaters on their own court
tends to show hat the Crimson and
White team should prove v1ctors IN
today's game at h Ampoy gym.
Coach Reed of Brunswick has not
wasted any time with his charges ana
will have his team in h best or
shape for today's fray. Their last de-
feat from Montclair High, although
entirely unexpected, has not taken
any of their spirit away and they viii
endeavor to revenge themselves Tor
the setback at the expense OF Ampoy
High.
The Amboy five have been practi-
sing for this contest for a week and
a half. The local team was the re-
cipients of a defeat handed them by
Neptune High a week and q half ago
and up to that game had won six
straight. The manner in which the
local team handled themselves in this
game, although defeated against their
more experienced and heavier play
ers, shows hat they are capable OF
giving Brunswick 1.-THE time of their
lives" This will be Amboy's last
game for this season and they are
certain of winding up their season
with a victory. A preliminary be-
tween the Seniors and the Vocational
School five was scheduled. but the
latter team cancelled the game as
three of their players are sick.
The Perth Amboy team will lineup
for the clash with Brunswick, with
Capt. Westcott and Red Splitter, for
wards: Miney Cannon. center, Moe
Splitter and Billy Flynn, guards.
The game starts at 3.45 sharp.
