South Amboy Residents Petition
Action on Opening Street

By Special Correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 1.-THE
Common Council meeting last night
was attended by a delegation of prop
erty and residents of Stockton
street who came to petition the
oil to take some action to open up
Stockton street. The men present
pointed out the disadvantage that the
people living on this street were at
and urged the council to take steps to
eliminate the Objectionable features.
1t was pointed out that in order for the
children to get to school 1t is neces-
sary for them to walk a great deal
further than If the street had an OPP
ening on Augusta street. The IAN
ger for fire was also brought out.
Councilman Hackett recalled that
his matter had been called to the at
tention of the COUNCIL twice within the
last four years, 1t being recommended
in the messages of Mayor William s.
Dey and of Mayor A. 7. Kerr. He
suggested that 1t was up to the city to
bear the expense. while Councilman
Kress thought 1t was up to the prop
erty owners in that vicinity to bear
the brunt of the cost. Councilman
Stanton informed the delegation that
their plea would be given careful con-
sideration and if advised by the city
solicitor that the city would be re-
ouired to bear the expense, the city
would bear it Inc If he advised that
the adjoining property should be as
sessed to cover the biggest part of the
expense this would be done. Upon a
motion by Councilman Kress the mat
ter referred to the Council as q whole
together with the city solicitor and
engineer.

BENNY LEONARD AND DUNDEE ID
 MEET SEPT. r

New York. Sept. 6-Bennv Leon ard. lightweight champion of inc world, and Johnny Dundee were matched early yesterday morning 10 box eight rounds at the Nev-arl, Sportsmen's club in the First Regi- ment Armory of Newark, N. T.. on Wednesday night, Sept r. Rumor has had these boxers matched for sav- eral days, but the articles were not signed nor the match made until early yesterday morning after the bout between Leonard and Bartfield when Billy Gibson for Leonard. Dun dee and the matchmaker of the New ark SpOrtsmen's club got together in the Hotel Nendig in Philadelphia and affixed their signatures to a set of articles.
 Strangely enough for the first time since he has won the championship. the title of Benny Leonard really will he at stake in limited round no de Cision bout. One of the stipulations of the articles, according to an official of the club is that Leonard shall weigh in at the lightweight limit rinEside or else shall guarantee not to weigh more than a pound over the weight scaled by Dundee on the night of the contest. This contingent, it is said, has been holding up the match.
 Billy Gibson, when asked if it were true that Leonard must enter the ring at the lightweight, replied:
 'Leonard is the lightweight cham pion. I have said repeatedly that Benny can make 133 pounds, although there are lots of persons who have been saying that he is a welterweight. What the conditions of the match with Dundee are Is no secret but at the same time it's up to the club of ficials to give them out if they want to. When Benny is in his very best fighting condition he scales less than l35 pounds All I have to say now IS that he will be at his best when he meets Dundee.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-09-06

ably would have won the fight with a knockout. But because he con cealed his real condition by taking the aggressive and scoring hard blows, Sullivan capable of offensive, but not defensive action. won the fight.
 From the fifty-third when Sullivan was again himself Kilrain went down dozens of times simply to avoid pun ishment. In the seventy-fourth, the round before the end, Kilrain made his dying effort. Summoning all his strength he slammed the Boston Strong Boy to the ground with a sweeping right. Sullivan couided with the turf on his shoulder blades. His seconds rushed into the ring and as- sisted him to his corner while the great gladiator swore at them and tried to fight them off.
 Sullivan won the fray with a ter rife right to the jaw. hilrain tot tered to the ropes-out standing up. Mike Donovan threw in the sponge for Kilrain after the men had been struggling two hours and sixteen minutes.
 It took a half hour to restore Jake to his normal view of things external but he was fresh enough to escape the police in the raid that followed. A return to his stomach ailment pre- vented Sullivan from making his es- cape through the woods adjacent to the ring He was tn eonly one nabbed by the police.
 John was released on bail after be- ing Jailed. Sullivan, you must re- member, looked on things with all cohoIic philosophy just at that mo- ment He could stand Kilrain's s abdominal pummelling but he couldn't stomach the jabs of the long arm of the law. So he promptly skipped bail and trekked for Chicago where he could snap his fingers at extradition.
 Johns stomachal condition that day suDplemented with iron nerve in both irstances-his battle with Kill rain and the Iaw-won him a double header victory.
