the Blue Ribbons of this city by a
Hcore of 25-20, and incidentally scored
their fourth victory in this vicinity
the others being scored over the
Riversides and Auditorium teams.
The home combination, minus the
services of Nat Holman, who sent a

credftable performance against the
crack opponents. t'ein was high scorer
for the local team, while Cherry played
% clever defensive game, holding Nc
Walters the crack Newark Turner baS-
keteer scoreleSs.
,Reilly's foul shooting and Harrigan's
scoring from the field were the main
factors in the oboke teams vle
tory. The little forward OF the visit
ang team scored fifteen of his teams
. points, while HarTigan who was guard
3ng Marty Kaufman, eyaded the little
b~lack-haired forward of he local
team often enough to score four double
counters.
After a little scrimmaging at the
start of the contest, Fein dropped in
his only field goal of the night and
Mcmillan increased the lead a moment
later when he dropped in a foul goal.
Reilly shooting from the fifteen foot
sIne for the visitors dropped our foul
goals in the basket out of six tries
and the Hoboken team was In the
lead.
Harrigan increased the visitors e
when he dropped in a field goal, after
which the going was nip and tuck for
the remainder of the Initial session.
~ squirt by the home team lear the
end OF the half brought them within
ono point of the Hoboken score. but
this lead could not be- overcome and
the session ended lilo in favor of
Ntanning's crew.
The Blue Ribbons made q vain en-
Beavor to pass the Hoboken team at
the start of the final session, but Reilly
dropped in two goals from the free
throw limo and then the field goals
of the visiting team boosted their
lead to such a height that the Perth
Nmboy combination were unable to
wen matters.
Solador refereed the game and call
ed thirteen fouls on the Blue Ribbons
On the initial session. seven Of which
were made, and called seven ON the
Perth Anboy team in the final ses-
eion, Reilly making six of same. Ten

Roberts In Bout Here
Next Thursday Nigh

The mex big card of fights for the

ranged by Promoter Joe McNulty and
will consist of three Fights. one six

Elephants in these events are leaders

Roberts Returns
Al Roberts, the light heavyweight
champion of Staten Island, who is
known as the Elevator to followers
or the hstic game because of his up
and down career in the roped arena,
returns to the ring of his making
against Joe Banks, a leading light
heavy OF Brooklyn, in the main eight
round event on Thursday night.
Roberts had an enviable knockout
record while he fought with Joe Nc
Nulty as a promoter, and he was fast
climbing the Ladder of fame when a
sudden notion struck him to depart
from the local hall Of fistic doingS
and enter larger fields. but It is a
question whether Al has learned a
lesson regarding his Unnecessary
speed or not.
The Staten Island fireman, as he
was widely known, was hailed as a
coming champ when he first hit the
big spots, but he dropped from the
knockout king" to a fireman once
he met with a reverse. Roberts can
take no wiser step than to study over
the saying that a champ is not made
over night" Banks is a good boy,
and q in fstic circles. but he
does not know much more about the
boxing game than Roberts, and for
that reason there is an wen chance.
