What promises to be one OF the
best boxing shows ever offered at the
Lotos A. 9. here. Is scheduled for to-
night at Palace hall with Clay Turner,
the crao kIndian light heavy weight,
and Johnny Saxon, the Newark heavy
clashing in the main eight round
bout.
Owing to the size of the scrappers
and the regulations which both men
have, Promoter Joe McNulty has been
rummaging about all the week trying
to get a referee who could handle
matters as they should be. Finally
he secured Henry Ertle, of Jersey
City, who refereed the Johnny Kill
bane-Frankie Burns fight at the ball
park in hat city on Tuesday night.
Ertle is recognized as one of the best
third mem in the business and the
fact that Joe has secured him would
indicate that some real action Is ex-
1t would be a difficult matter to go
into Clay Turner's record as the In
dian has met and defeated 81 many
battlers his sc~rap-books will not hold
any more press clippings. Defeats
chalked up against the Red man are
few and far between.
Al Roberts, the knockout king"
of Staten Island, will be an interested
spectator at tonight's scrap and will
challenge the winner. The Indian Is
the favorite over Saxon, but whether
or not q kayo will mark the bout is
q question which fight followers are
Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-09-19

not so sure about. Saxon, in his bouts
here before, has proven himself capa-
BILE o taking every kind of a punch
that was ever invented and not going
down with any of them. In return he
has a powerful collection Of Jabs,
swings and uppercuts which more
than worries his opponent.
Several boxing promoters were
making offers to Clay Turner for his
appearance this week, but McNuity
beat them to 1t and grabbed off the
Indian before he had a chance to
listen to the others. romoters are still
on Turner's trail in order to match
him up with Battling Lavinsky ana
Jamaica Kid.
If Turner wins this scrap tonight
and he is matched to meet AL Roberts
1t will mean the biggest thing that
ever happened In Roberts life as the
Island boy will be given his first Big
chance to make good before the pub
lie eye. A victory over Turner by
Roberts would be n of the surest
means of waking up the fight follow
ers from all over the country as to
just what an embryo champ Is COM
ing into the limelight. If Roberts Is
matched to meet Turner, however, the
Islander will ave the biggest propo-
sition on his hands he eve tackled.
In addition to the big eight-round
bout tonight there will be three other
feature attractions, consisting of one
six-round semi-fina1 and two four

Frank Leroy Chance, once the peer
less leader of the Cubs and most
talked-of baseball man, has come u
into the limelight again.
A few of his rich friends want him
to buy the Boston American league
club and come right back into the big
doings, writes AL Sphinx in Chicago
Evening Post.
But Chance says that he has quit
the limelight for good and that moth
ing will tempt him away from his
Glendora orange farm in California.
When there are big doings In the
spor world, however, Chance quits the
farm for a little while. That was the
case recently, when he made the trip
to Toledo to see the Dempsey-Wli-
lard fight.

with Barney Oldfeld, the auto star
and it was while in the metropolis that
friends invited Chance to take a nyer

Ralph It. Works, who has a large
following in st. Louis as a writer on

Miller Higgins in his daily column in
st. Louis Republic, in the curse of
which he says:
A few weeks ago I wrote an article

KEGS were not playing smart enough
baseball to win the pennant in the

their style. That Thinning game

that person is. Miller .Huggins.

Perth Amboys Ready
or Paterson Nine

On Sunday afternoon, weather per-
uniting, the Amboy team is going out
on the Copper Works field with the
idea of securing revenge against the
Paterson Independents for the fans
of Perth Amboy. The reason we
mention revenge is because Of our
memory of the drubbing which this
same team handed the Ingots some
time ago.
The Amboy team has been a STUN
bling block for a great many of the
teams that boast of good records.
The Wheelers, Roosevelt, Organs
Roughnecks, Evergreens, Railways
and a great many other teams all
failed in their attempts to get the
better of Mullen's cohorts.
True, there are several faces on
the Ingot team that also appear in
the Mullen combination, but Mullen's
team as a whole has an edge on the
1ngot team, and the Ingot team play
ing. at their best would never have
lost 81 to the Paterson team. If
they had continued playing for the
last three innings as they did during
the early part of the game there
would be little chance for the Pater-

Ingots VS.. Wheelersl
During the past few years the above
announcement has always been hailed
with the greatest expectancy by the
baseball fans of Perth Amboy and its
environs for they realized hat when
these two industrial aggregations
locked horns hat q battle of might
would be the result and the victor en-
titled to premier honors. With just
such ideas in mind, Manager Bergen,
has purposely delayed the staging of
this contest until late in the season
so hat both teams would have their
mid-season stride and be capable of
offering the local followers of the
sport a brand of baseball that would
be so impressive that those attending
would never forget and the missing
would ever regret.
This big game will be played on the
Raritan Copper Works field to-mor-
row afternoon at $3.50 o'clock and un-
less we are nightly mistaken should
prove to be the best affair of the sea-
son.
Both teams have had a most u C

Last year the Carteret team and
the Ingots met in two contests, each

was played on the local diamond as
one of the big Elks Day attractions
during the state convention of thai

drew one of the largest crowds that
ever witnessed a game in this city. On
that occasion the Ingot swetters got
off to a safe lead early in the game
which they retained throughout and

"CIeans" Crowd of Cash.

Vacuum cleaning money from street
crowds was the striking scheme en-
ployed in one of the large cities some
weeks ago for the benefit of the Red
Cross, says Popular Science Magazine.
A suction pipe was held over the
heads of persons congregated on the
sidewalk, and contributions solicited
by a leather-lunged seaman who shout
ed through a megaphone. Crisp dol
lar bills and worn greenbacks, it mat
tered not which, were drawn in by
strong suction force when inserted in
the nozzle of the tube.
The novelty of the plan attracted
passers-by and drew forth many dona-
lions.

Bandaoes Now Made Quickly.

A recent invention which has not
been marketed as yet, but is reported
to be a great success, is an electric
roller for use in making the much
needed five-yard rolls of bandages.
This new device is not only a great
time and labor saver. but requires
little practice TO learn to operate. The
rollers operated by hand, as they have
been heretofore, require skill and
training to operate them successfully,
and the work is strenuous. By rolling
electrically the operator Is able to
keep both hands on the bandage,
while in hand operation one hand
guides the roll or bandage and the
other operates the roller.

CLAIMS CENTURY-OLD FUND
Unexpended Portion of In
demnity Paid In 1921.

The full bench of the Massachusetts,
supreme court has been called upon
to determine the ownership of a fund
nearly a century old, which is claimed
by the commonwealth of Massachu-
sets on one hand and the Chilean gov
eminent on the other.
In 1921 an American ship returning
from China to Boston was seized by
Chilean revolutionists and its cargo
confiscated. When normal conditions
prevailed in Chile the United States
demanded indemnity and Chile paid
$70,400.

money among those entitled to it. He
executed the trust except as to two
Chinese-known only as Paqua AMI

locate these persons or their represen-
tatives. When he died the trust was
transmitted to his son, and upon the
iatter's death to the grandson and
yreat-grandson, Robert II. Gardiner
end Robert H. Gardiner, Jr., who are
now its custodians.
The present holders of the fund
have searched through the records of

American consular service at Canton,
China, and through various other
sources, for the heirs of Paqua, Moqua
and Thomas Furber, without success.

There is something almost uncanny

ago there was quoted part of Dick

a member of a peace society that a
number of persons were endeavoring
to form in 1851. The words written
then by the great English author are
worth repeating:

toward Germany" he counseled. do

Il tell you that it is because there

because l would not be soldier ridden,
