in the second half.
Thomas in addition to scoring six
teen points held his man Dadson
scoreless. Ecky Calder and "Midg"
Reilly also scored high for the Am
boy team with eight points each to
their credit.
The work of Kinney, the star
Crescent player who is slated for a
position on the Yale varsity court
team, drew considerable comment.
Kinney dropped in sixteen goals
from the fifteen foot line out OF
twenty-one tries. He also scored
two field goals.
The Amboys were In the lead at
the end of the first half, 1917.
The visitors started strong in the
last half and soon were in the lead.
Good shooting by Thomas and
White from the field, and the foul
shooting Of Hank aided materially
in M~anningg's outfit sewing pu the
game during the last ten minutes of
this session and the game ended

creed. The new referee called twen-
ty-one fouls on the home team. six

port baseball nine scored their sec
ond victory in the series with the To-
cal team on the Keyport grounds

Kayo Or Science-Which?

More ard more, 1t seems, the
emile sex are coming to attend
rize fights. or boxing exhibitions,
{ you prefer.
And it leads m to wonder just
that sort of boxing both men and
women would rather see.
A fighter is referred to as a scien-
'ific scrapper-the fellow who hasn't
lecessarily the X. o. punch, but is
learned in the ability to sneak a
noint-counting wallop in now and
hen, yet to keep his opponent
lear.
The other fellow may be the slug
ging, art ignorant fighter who trusts
to his healthy right or his wicked
left to land just one blow-and ne
feels that that big blow will end the
bout.
Now what would you rather see?
A battle where blood is spilled free.
ly and somebody goes kerplunk to
the canvas, or a battle where the
real science of fistic encounter
stands out?
In view of the fact that more and
more ome actually are attending
prize fights, it would seem that
sooner or later the scientific bouts
are going to be more appreciated.

With fancy eloquence;

To judge and jury bowed,
Then stuck two fingers in
His mouth and whistled loud.
He raised his left knee high
And gave a little kick.

And hollered loud "Ee-yah-h!"

And laughed a loud ha ha.

And set his client free.
