Young Otto of New York
Wants to Fight Here

Young Otto. the New York light
weight s~crapper, who made such a
good showing in the ring several
years & and is now managing some
of the cleyerest boys In the metropo-
lis, Is anxious to go on in a bout az
the Lotos Club with the best man
that can be found in this vicinity.
Young Otto was introduced at the
fights Monday night by Joe Humph-
ries who announced that Otto was
coming back and willing TO take on
all corners. A letter has Just been re-
ceived from Otto confirming Humph-
ries announcement and II is possible
that McNulty may find a fast man TO
go up against him in the near future.
Joe Gallagher. the boxer whom
Ray Hatfield knocked out in the first
round of their scheduled e~ight-round
bout on Monday night, was one of
Otto's proteges and he states in his
letter that Gallagher Is a tough boy
sround New York and that this was
the first time he had ever been
knocked out or decisyely beaten. The
fact that Hatfield was the first man
to land a haymaker on this New
Yorker will add considerably to the
Montclair mans laurels. Young Otto
brought both Eddie Walsh and VIII

One of the lragest crowds that ever
attended a basketball game in this
city is expected at the Y. NJ. H.. A.
hall tomorrow night when the local
Y. VI. H.. A. quintet meets the River
sides of South Amboy. Their is an
intense rivalry between RIVE rooters
and Y. NJ. II. A. fans and judging
by the chatter of all basketball fol-
lowers in and around Perth Amboy a
capacity house will result.
The Y. NJ. II. A. team won fame
last year by disposing OF practically
every team it came in contact with

many RIVE rooters who were of the
opinion that the Riversides could
have stopped the victorious onslaught
of the local "Y" had they beer on the
court that year. But unfortunately
, the South Amboy favorites were not
playing basketball last year II con-
s%equently the game tomorrow night
will show all fans, both RIVE and
"Y' which team is the better.

When the com pany lined up in uniform for the last time Captain McGarry thanked the men for the courtesy shown him, for their attendance at drill and the in- terest they took. He complimented them on their faithful service and said he regretted that the company could not be kept intact.
 Captain MeGarry said Tuesday that L Company was one of the best In the state. At the field day at Ston- ington it appeared second to none. He said he was proud of the company and was sorry that it could not be kent in service. He said that the on- ly reason the company was disbanded was because there is TO armory in Putnam.

The boy wanted to go home immediately, but Sheriff Aver insist ed on taking him to house near by and summoning a doctor. The phy- sician examined the lad and found serious internal injuries and he was brought to the hospital in Putnam. Sheriff Aver deeply regretted the ac- cident and felt the situation keenly. He did everything possible for the boys welfare. The body was taken to Moosup.

SOLDIERS MAY HAVE OLD JOBS BACK
 MANUFACTURERS ARE HELPING THEM

From many towns and cities comes the word that returned soldiers are being given their old jobs back as rapidly as they can be set to work, Soldiers and sailors of the home town are given first preference and others are given second consideration. In some plants men are being laid off to ,yi1e soldiers and sailors jobs.
 The cooperation of the manufac- turers with the government is a great aid in solving the problem of finding employment for the boys who have been in service. It is the gen eral feeling that they should be af- forded every possible opportunity of as they gave up their jobs at their country's call.
 In Putnam and surrounding towns the same feeling prevails and the manufacturers are giving preference

In the arrest Saturday of Edwin c. Bartlett by State Policemen Bridgeman and Sullivan, assisted by Officer Neri Coderre, the mystery surrounding a series of thefts and burglaries that has terrorized the vil- lage of North Grosvenor-Dale for over two weeks and made the people afraid to leave their homes without protection, has been cleared up.
 Bartlett was arraigned before Jus tice of the Peace Charles Johnson at North Grosvenor-Dale on Monday morning, and pleaded guilty to all five counts in the complaint. The counts were as follows:
 First Count--Breaking into the home of Staro Mike and stealing $50 in money and revolver.
 Second count-Breaking into the home of Frank Rinka and stealing $75 in cash.
 Third eount--Entering the home of Peter Ktapensty and stealing $70 in cash.
 Fourth eount-Entering the gro- cery store of Thomas Shiola and stealing $54 in money.
 Fifth count-Entering the home of Clement Benoit and stealing War Savings Stamps valued at $500 and

 A committee of five non-commis- stoned officers was appointed to dis pose of property owned by the com pany personally.
 During the time the company has been organized it has never been be- low the minimum number, in fact, at no time has it been below 58 men. This is remarkable in view of the fact that many of the men enlisted, others were drafted, and some sought gov ernment employment in other elites. To keep the company full Captain MeGarry estimates that at least three full companies have been enlisted, this being necessary to fill vacancies caused from one or another of the reasons above stated. Over three fourths of the company entered the army in 1918, but notwithstanding this great drain on the company it was always kept considerably above the minimum quota.
 The last act performed by Captain McGarry was to hand each man his discharge paper as his name was called

One of the most impressive ssr. vices seen in a long while was that uk the solemn high mass of requiem su1e for the repose of the soul of the lakn curate of the parish, Rev. Anseln Mayotte, at St. Mary's church at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. LAst weeks Patriot announced the news sk the death of Fr. Mayotte in far-e9 France. The news was received = this office after the first few hun dreds had gone out, but those who purchased the paper ut the nsvU rooms received the sad tidinuD through the columns of The Patriek
 As stated last week Fr. Mayot1n was thrown from his horse. It - now learned that he was taken to . hospital, but that he did not die frsn the injuries received from the fn2R from the horse, but that he contraAb- ed pneumonia. His death occurroa on December 9th. It was not un14 last week Friday that the official new
  of the death was received by the fn- ther of the young priest at Quino- baug. The delayed sad tidings cano through the war department and - usual there were no details.
 The mass was at 10 o'clock, buk long before this hour the people bo- gan to arrive. Shortly before 10 o. clock the children of St. Maryu school marched in and took seats ro- served for them. The novices from the novitiate of the Sisters of tho Holy Ghost were also present, as were soldiers in uniform and many priestx. The altars were draped in black. In the center aisle in front of the sane tuary rested a casket draped with tho national colors. Wound in the flag he loved the casket signified the great patriotic sacrifice made by the young curate While nothing mortal was there, possibly the spirit hoverea near.
 The mass was sung by Rev. Charlea F. Bedard, pastor of the churcA. with Rev. Francis P. keough of MerS- den, deacon; Rev. John H. Quinn -

in employment to the boys who have returned. While perhaps not all have thought of going so far as to create vacancies, that returned soldiers and sailors may be employed, still, when the matter is given serious considera- tion, the fact comes home that if these boys now returning had not give up their jobs to fight for their country while others stayed at home to reap the benefits of the high wage paid during the war, there might not now be employment for anyone. Talk ing this view of the situation it seems no more than fair, said an agent of the government, that these returned sailors and soldiers should be given employment even if some man or men, who have been at home making good wages, have to make the sacri- flee that the returned ones may have their places.
