AhiBOY Y. M. C. A. V0LLEY BALL
TEAM EASILY BEATS RAILWAY

The Railway Y. NJ. C. A. %unexpect-
edly sent a voIley ball team to TINS
city last night for a series OF games
with the local representative team
Despite the fact that the
could not be gotten together-only
two of them being in h lineup n
combination composed of local players
had no difficulty IN winning three
straight games. The RAILWAY team
was unable to got started In any OF
the three games, the ball played py
the locals proving too much for their
ability.
Rankin and Stocker were the W.
regulars while he other four MEM
bers of the team consisted of Dover,
Francis Oliver, Rev. Wilbert West
colt and Frantic. The scores were
ISL, 15-2 and 1873.
The Railway team Is entered in the
north-Jersey 'fY" volley ball league.
Perth Amboy was refused admfttance
in this circuit, probably because OF
the fact tina 1t won two big interstate
leagues this winter, but will challenge
the winner of the north-Jersey loop.
The Perth Amboy ~" team has not
vet been defeated by a New Jersey
team and suffered but one loss this
season, against Brooklyn CentraFs
First Team. This combination refused
to play a return game in Perth Amboy
in order to give Amboy a chance to
even up matters.

TWELVE ROUND
BOUTS THERE SOON
New State Law viii be Taken
Advantage of Soon by Box
ing Promoters in This City

The signing CT tho twelve round
boxing law by Governor Edward L.
Edwards on Thursday VIII give the
fans of this state and especially this
city a chance to see bouts of real
length. The followers of the boxing
game have long been waiting for the
coming of the longer bouts.
Boxing fam of old days when the
zeal bouts were staged, will now have
their interest In the game revived as
they thought little of going to see an
eight round bout. The New York
boxing law seems doomed. so that
with no boxing allowed In New York
and the twelve round bouts In this
state, the promoters of New Jersey
should find smooth travelling.
A number of title holders who were
being pursued by promoters from this
state, while the eight round law was
In effect, did not care to risk their
titles in eight round bouts, but 1t Is
row possible hat the best boxers can
lie brought to this city and state by
the local and state promoters.
II will be an interesting test for
some of the boxers well known to To-
cal fstic fans, to attempt the climb
from an eight round to a twelve round
bout. AL Roberts. the Staten Island
heavyweight battler. ha not fought
in a bout longer han eight rounds,
so that the new law might have some
effect on his rise in flstic circles.
Numerous other boxers In different
class who have appeared IN this city.
will be forced to meet the same state
of affairs. VIII the boxers who have
been rising so we'll In their respective
classes, now be forced to a standstill
with the coming of the twelve round
bouts2
1t was announced at the Amboy
Sporting Club on Thursday night hat
she next show night for the local club
had not been decided on as yet, due to
the railroad strike. Whether the To-
raj club will have long bouts at their
next show has not been decided On as
vet, but 1t would be a good idea for
Amboy to keep abreast with the re-
mainder of the state.
