back at the "" following a long
vacation and the four alleys in first
class condition, the season got of to
a fine start.
During the summer months when
the alleys were closed the Brunswick
Balk men planned down the alleys,
oiled and vanished them and re-
plugged many OF the balls. The
entire floor of the bowling alleys was
oiled and a ruling has been decided
upon which prohibits 1.-The using of
street shoes by those bowling on the
alleys.

OF the ball games scheduled to
be played in this vicinity over Sun
day and the holiday. the contests
booked by Joseph Mullen. manager

The local team has run up q string
of seven consecutive victories, and
the players r confident of con-
tinuing their winning streak for the
remainder of the season.
Richcreeks Reappear.
Local fans were of the opinion
that Lefty" Mattress, the star
moundsman of the Richcreek Ath-
1etics had the local batters baffied
1Iwhen he pitched against the AM
Hboyans some time ago. This game
was destined to be the best of the
season but "a called in the fifth in
ming on account of rain. with neither
team having scored q run. Harry
Applegate and the North Bergen
southpaw ace were the opposing
twirlers and honors were about even
in box work when the game termi-
mated.
Manager Mullen will send Apple
gate against Mattress in one of
Mondays games. while Flynn or
Jensen will pitch the other contest
for Amboy. Bader will be back be-
hind the bat for Amboy over the

the greatest batter of them all.
He Is constantly crotvding the

When the Babe is up you have

sick at heart to e two fighters
paid more for a single hours

makes commerciahsm of boxing

Rickard Is giving away $4,000
to Leonard and $751; 900 to Fftz-
simmons, but even II he were,
he should keep that part Of the

ment of the receipts at any OF
my boxing shows, nor the

cefved. / think Richard shows
