LUTTE LOSES TO VANNnE YESTERDAY BY AZ SECONDS BUT LEADS in RACES WON DURING TRIAL
AIR BOUTS
IN PERTH AMbOY.
Copper Works Field Would
be Ideal Place for Holding
of Boxing Exhibitions.

Perth Amboy boxing fans wero
elated when this city opened a box
ing club after the passage Of thu
fight law in this state. The req
fight fan, of which there are many
In this city, enjoyed the sport while
IL lasted in this city.
A new club has secured q license
the Auditorium Sport Club, but this
license is for the Auditorium and
there seems to be little chance of
the fight game going big in any
building during the summer months.
The Amboy Sporting Club or the
Lotus Club might try to renew their
licenses IL an open air site could be
secured. The Raritan Copper Works
athletic field is the spot where the
boxing game might be able to be
started again in his city.
The Lotus Club vas the first box.
ing club to open in this city since
New Jersey allowed ei~ght-round
boxing bouts to be legal. This wa
a couple of years ago, and the club
went well although the quarters
were not very large. Another club
started and "a known as the Globe
A. G, But the two clubs could not
go in this city. and the latter was
forced to disband.
Finally the Auditorium was alter.
ed and a boxing license procured.
IL was felt that the boxing club In
the Auditorium would Guido the
Lotus club in the Palace hall. 50 the
two parties pulled together. The
game thrived for a while. but sever.
al changes in management killed
the game for the time being In this
city. The fans in this city have not
as yet witnessed a twelve-round
bout, and there has not been q light
run in the Auditorium since the last
license was secured.
If several local men secured per.
mission to use the r. c. w. field ana
a license to run bouts there Is no
a why the fight game would
not prosper in this city. and . cou-
pie of successful summer months
OF the sport would prepare for the
coming winter and the return OF the
game to the Auditorium or some
other suitable hall.

Local fans will be given a chance

time in a number of years to see a

Knickerbocker A. c. of BkIyn.

of Loca Copper Works.

Tomorrow afternoon on the Rar-
itan Copper Works field the Ingot
baseball team Representatives of the
Raritan Copper Works, will clash
with the fast Knickerbocker A. c.
baseball team of Brooklyn. This
game is expected to be the best of
the season, inasmuch as it is
claimed the Brooklynites boast of
the strongest team of any appear
ing here so far this season.
The Broadway a. c. of Bayonne,
is the only team hat defeated the
Copper nine this season. 1t is hard
to say whether this combination is
the best that appeared against the
Ingots this year. perhaps it may be
that the Copper boys did not play
up to their usual standard in this
game. But If the visitors tomorrow
afternoon play as good a game as
the boys from the Oil town did. the
fans will surely be satisfied.
Hornsby who has been doing
nearly all of the pitching for the
Copper Works this year, will again
occupy the mound for Hurley's nine.
The remainder of the team will be
the same as has appeared on the
field in former games. "Pud' Stin-
son, who was out of the lineup last
Saturday, will return to his position
at short, while Gargan will hold
down the initial sack.

Camping Lots Of Fun When You
Know How

With all drawbacks of inexperi-
ence camping Is fun in the end. But
here are a few tips for the tourist
that will make his camping fun
even while it lasts.
The outdoor camper always has
visions of a dandy campfire over
which the bacon ~sizzles. But some
times 1t rains. even on campers, and
it is hard to start a fire. So the two
burner gasoline stove has been pro-
vided. The best ones come in a
steel box that fits on the running
board. and it Is ready to make the
kettle boil any moment, rain or
shine. 1t is a camping t~reasure
That brings US down to GODS.
Bacon is always the standby. Carry
-four and tea and coffee If you must
have it, as we'll as pepper and salt,
in friction top cans. Label each.
Have the frying-pan a big one; one
to which a long handle a be add
ed If necessary. Carry nothing In
glass. Collapsible buckets and
wash basins fill the bill. The cleo
trio torch has rather supplanted the
kerosene lantern with campers.
Your rod ought to supply you with
fresh meat. Dried apples, peaches
and prunes are fine for camp and
easy to transport. A few onions
and potatoes are sometimes worth
taking along. In the touring coun-
try cows sometimes are few. Can
ned cream serves as well. Soluble
tea and coffee may be carried If you
wish. Coffee in a jiffy Is the result
Unless you are an old hand better
buy fresh bread as you pass through
the towns.
Good goggles are almost a neces-

clothes, the car tuned up, filled with
gas. water and oil, you can be OFF
with the sun to The Land of Hearts
Desire.
Don't be afraid to ask questions
| Everyone is kind to tourists. They
want you to think well of their
state, or their county or their city
Some towns display big signs at the
city limits which say "Welcome" on
one side and Goodbye" on the
other. Folks want to be friendly
1t pays you, too, to be courteous on
the road.
Begin early in the afternoon to
look for a night campsite. The pig
want is a pure water supply. be
sure of that. Don't take chances
| The chance farmer that will sell you
| milk and butter and fresh bread or
will trade it to you for bacon or
| canned peaches will also set you
| right on the water proposition.
Wood is desirable for a night
campfire and so watch out for a
camp spot where deadwood or dry
wood is available. Select a high,
dry spot for the tent if you can find
one; smooth and free from stones.
A tent in a hollow means a wet floor
IL it rains. Give preference to a
southern exposure. If near trees
keep on their edge rather than in
their midst.
For Your Comfort
To keep ants from food-Put a
fence of powdered chalk a few
inches from the food and around II.
To keep off mosquitoes-Rub ci-
tronella oil on hands and neck.
To remove grease spots-Use colo
water, a tablespoon of ammonia and
soap to clean the cloth.
To heat a tent on cool nights
Fill a bucket with stones made hot
by the camp fire. Invert in the tent
and heat will radiate from it for a
long time. -.
To open a fruit jar-Place a hot
rock on top of cover for a few min
utes.
To remove burnt taste from
scorched vegetables or soup-Put
in a few pieces of raw potato.

There is absolutely no doubt that
Standardization of golf balls might
make it possible to keep a stand

true that it would make a new sit

certainly gain an advantage. There
is also a very distinct adjustment
of the ball to the stroke, a harder
rubbear core requiring more hit
ting, so that the light player would
be somewhere at a disadvantage.
