Expect Fast Bouts al LOtOs
Meeting Tomorrow Night

After n lay-off of more than a week
boxing will be continued here tomor-
row night when the Lotos Club pre-
sents another good program at Palace
Hall featuring Harry Apologize, of
New Brunswick, and Fred Kibler, of
Newark. in the main eight-round
bout. Owing to neither man being
able to land the necessary kayoh in
their last battle here and the fast ex-
hibition which they put up, both have
been getting in the best OF condition
for the return go. KILLER, who lost
out to AL Roberts, of Staten Island,
in the first round OF a bout here a
little more than a month ago, sur
prised the fans by the fight he put up
against the county scatter and during
the last part of the twenty-four-min-
ute classic he had things slightly his
own way.
Young Stark. q Carteret boy, who
is fast rounding into real champion
ship shape and is showing the right
kind OF stuff. has been chosen by
Promoter McNulty as one of the prin-
ciples in the six-round semi-final.
Eddie Baker. of Orange. a sparring
partner OF KILLER. has been matched
against Stark. Announcement of the
preliminaries will probably be made
some time today by McNulty.

big game at the Y. M. H. A. basket
ball court tonight when the Amboy
All-Star quintet and the Y. M. III. A.
five meet for the city championship.

the exception of one which they lost
to the Elizabeth All-Stars. but they
paid up for this defeat by trouncing
tho Elizabethians in q return game.
What makes the game doubly In
