FAST FIGHTS
At AMBOY Sc. TONIGHT

Tonight another card OF fights will
be offered for the approval of the
followers of the Amboy Sporting Club
In the new Auditorium. The fighting
card Will consist of one eight round
star attraction between jeff Smith,
an International star, and Silent Mar
tin, a dummy who started his career
in a local ring; a six round affair be-
tween Charley Britton and Tommy
Murphy, and three tours.
The Main Bout
The main affair of the evening be-
tween JEFF Smith and Silent Martin
should develop into a smuggling match.
Both boys have big regulations
among fight fans and both have been
known to give the best that Is in
them. Martin will have a big fol-
lowing of Keasbey, Fords and Perth
Is altogether likely that q large crowd
of Smith followers will travel to this
city to see their man in action.
Smith has travelled to other coun-
tries where he mingled with the best
in his class, and his experience in the
ring is a great deal more than that
Of the dummy's, although the dummy
did a great deal in the ring since he
made New York his home. Both of
these men are considered large draw
Ing cards by boxing promoters, and
this fight is the first Of a number Of
big cards that McNulty Is booking.
A New Murphy
Tommy Murphy, of Staten Island,
will enter a local ring for the first
time when he stacks up against
Charley Britton, of New Brunswick, a
speedy little fighter whit Is capable

Of taking considerable siedge-ham-
mer treatment. Murphy has a tough
nut to crack in his first appearances
as will be admitted by the large fol-
lowing who have taken to Britton
due to his clean antics and willing
ness to mingle at all times. Murphy
looked good when announced at the
last fights and the six rounds should
prove to be everything that Is expect
ed, q hard battle.
A return four round match be-
tween Young DeForest, OF Metuchen,
and Young Conway. Of Plainfield, ID
the leading attraction of the four
round bouts. Every fight thai tha
Metuchen boy has been In here, so
far, las turned out to be o victory
for the "Bratny Borough" cohort, and
he too, by his willingness to fight, has
secured a large number of local fol-
lowers. Conway put up a stiff
ment in their last meeting and is
sure to furnish the fans with another
bout that will be marked with his
best offerings.
The other four round bouts doubt
lessly will prove interesting as four
fast boys have been secured to
ming1e In these two short bouts. In
one of the battles Young Kid Norfolk
of New York will meet Young Muir
ply, of Paterson, in what is expected
to be a Suggest, for both boys have
a reputation of being viking to mix.
The other bout of the evening will
bring together Charley Van Dyke of
Long Branch and Joe Raffelo of
Plainfeld. This bout will likely lead
off the program and is expected to be
peppery throughout.

The SCORE
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-11-11

The sporting editor has received a
letter from the manager of Johnny
Carroll, the Carteret scrapper. who
was defeated in his six-round go with
Barney Livingston, of Camp Morgan,
at the Amboy Sporting CLUB here last
Thursday night, in which that man.
ager seems to differ with the decision
rendered in the account of that scrap
published in the NEWS last Friday.
The letter follows;
Sporting Editor.
Dear Sir
after reading your article on the
boxing of November 6, and you giving
the decision to Livingston n claim
ing he outpointed Young Carroll, !
wish to ask you where you have ever
seen boxing outside of Perth Amboy'
1.-The worst decision you could have
rendered on the contest was to call
it a draw. 1 hereby contend that
Young Carroll was entitled to a draw
and, furthermore, 1 hereby issue q
challenge to Livingston for eight
rounds or any other so-called fighter
in your city of Perth Amboy, barring
none at any weight, and side wager
can easily be arranged.
"I hope, hereafter, when my men
are represented in the boxing contest
you will at least give them a fair
write-up in your paper. If this can
not be done, please do not publish
the outcome Of any of my mems con-
tests.
Yours in sport,
(Signed) Paul B. Harrington.
Manager.
P. SIT would not be a bad idea
for you to get a tip on writing up
boxing contests from Mr.. Bob Edgren
of the N. Y. World"
In order to give a decision on the
Carroll-Livingston bout it was un-
necessary for one to have a any
great experience at writing up fights
as even a novice at the game could
see hat it was not Carrolls fight.
But one out Of the six rounds was
earned by Carroll, three being deci-
sively for Livingston while the other
two were even.
In the fourth round the bell saved
Carroll, from all appearances, and
he was a groggy mar when the gong
sounded.
We admit that the worst decision
we could have given would have been
q draw as it was Livingston's fight
once and for all. Giving the result
as a draw would be doing an injus-
tice to Livingston and not giving him
the fairness which the Carteret man
ager advocates in write-ups.
In closing we will say that the
sporting editor will continue to give
his decision of every fight staged at
the Amboy Sporting Club, whether or
not any of Manager H~arrington's men
are participants in bouts, and that
the same impartial newspaper deci-
sions will be made, the results as
published being his unbiased version
of the bouts.
1t must be remembered that In
close fights a big difference of opinion
exists between the best of sporting
writers-even Bob Edgren differing
with such writers as Bozeman Bull
ger, William Abbott, Sam Crane,
Charles F. Mathison. John Pollock,
V. Treanor and other noted sport
writers.
Talk Of a third big league seems
to be getting quite ripe. and although
the leadership of both leagues ap-
pears to be in the hands of men I'M
desired by the club owners, 1t is
hardly possible that another league
would make good, and it might cause
a decrease in the popularity of base
ball.

ROBERTS WINS
FIGHT ON POINTS
Defeats Dan l'DOWd, Of Boston
at Jersey CITY Last Night

AL Roberts, the Staten Island
heavyweight idol, and pride of local
ring fans, returned to the ring in
Jersey City last night in an eight
round bout with Dan O'Dowd of Bos-
ton and was returned the winner on
points.
Roberts had the better of the argu-
ment from the third round on. The
first round found O'Dowd fighting
very carefully, but toward the end of
this stanza Roberts using old tactics
rushed O'Dowd n landed many
hefty blows hat nearly cancelled
the Bostonian's early lead. O'Dowd's
long left bothered Roberts consider
ably and was often the cause of Al
swinging wildly. In the second round
Roberts landed heavily on the bean
town fighters eye, and a large lump
was soon noticeable but O'Dowd did
not let up and came back at Roberts
continually. In this way he won the
first two rounds.
Roberts was fighting savagely In
the third to regain the lea on points
in the fight, n during this round a
snappy left and a right uppercut all
but put O'Dowd to sleep. Roberts
also had the better of the fighting in
the fourth, and in this round the
Bostonian was nearest to dreamland.
AL appeared in old time form.
The last four rounds, especially the
final stanza, went to Roberts. O'Dowd
put up a stiff argument and took
considerable punishment, but Roberts
could not land a kayo. In the final
round Roberts landed at will and if
he had old time steam behind his
punch he would easily nave scored a
knockout.
Charley Goodman, q former local
boy, was o~utpointed by Larry Regain,
of Weehawken, in a -four round bout,
the first event of the evening.

THE ROCK GARDEN. WATERPROOF ANo SUMMER HoVs

twelve foot terrace, on the northern

grade and the subsoil hauled to fill in
the lower garden, which at the waters
edge was nothing but mud and mire.
Now one acre has been raised three
feet and laid down to lawn and flower

The upper garden consists chiefly of
herbaceous border about 800 feet
