COPPER WORKS
READY TO PLAY
Make Fair Offer to Michelins
for Playing off Deciding
Game of the Series.

u The following communication has
been received from Ray Muudy. Sec
lretary of the Raritan Copper works
lathletic. association in regard to the
controversy between the Ingots and
the Michelin Tire company regarding
1.-THE play-off for the industrial
championship of the county. The
Information set forth In this COM
munication gives the impression
that the local team Is right in de-
manding a toss-up to decide the
PLAYING field for the all important
game. For the past two years the
lIngots have played the rubber game
at Midtown, and last year the game
lended in away which takes the in
I%terest out Of the national sport: The
letter follows:
Sporting Editor,
Perth Amboy Evening News,
Perth Amboy. N. j..
Dear Sir:
"In order that the fans of Perth
lAmboy and vicinity may be properly
enlightened as to the present status
OF the Industrial baseball champion
ship race of Middlesex county. we
would thank you to state the follow
ing facts in your paper.
The above mentioned race sifted
down to q three-cornered affair be-
tween the DUPONT Powder Co, Of
Parlin, the Michelin Tire Co., Of
Midtown and the Raritan Copper
Works of Perth Amboy.
THE Dupont team has now been
eliminated from the race by losing
two out of three games to each OF
the other cams. The Raritan Cop
per Works lost to Michelin at Mil
town July 10th, Z to S, and the
Michelin Tire Co. lost to the Rari-
tan Copper Works at Perth Amboy,
Sept. 4th, 5 to o, thus necessitating a
third game to decide the county
championship.
The question Is to where the
deciding game is to be played has
and Just way to decide the argument
would be a toss-up.
THE Raritan Copper Works 10
perfectly willing to toss up to de-
eide whether the game is to be play
ed at Midtown or Perth Amboy, on
la ifty-ffty basis, or winner take all,
or will play this game on a neutral
grounds, ffty-fifty basis or winner
take all. but the Michelin team has
fatty refused to do this. stating that
the game must be played at Mill
town or not at all.
Therefore, If the third and de-
Gliding game is not played the blame
certainly lies with the Michelin Tire
Co. and the readers of this column
can Judge for themselves to whom
the title of County Industrial Cham
Ipions more justly belongs.
Every truly yours,
RAY w. MUNDY,
Secretary, Raritan Copper
Works Athletic Association.

The boxing world IL at present
revolving about one man and n
arena.
That man is TEX" Richard and
the arena Is the celebrated Madison
Square Garden-the WI spot IN the
heart Of the greatest city In the
world.
That his venture will prove to be
a Garden Of Gold il practically one
Of those sure things which goes
without saying.
He is opening up the joint with
the best drawing cards in sight and
he'll get candy prices for every
bench in the establishment.
Jack Dempsey is a lucky fellow
to be a champion just at this oppor-
tune time. Rickard Is giving him
100000 to defend his title against
Bill Brennan on October /. Bren-
mans cut on the gate viii be s25.-
0eo.
Since the champion is not averss
to defending his title against the
present field Of presumably un-
worthy contenders It makes things
all the sweeter for Richard.
While the seating capacity OF the
Garden has not been increased,
Tex" will have TO depend on a
wealthy crowd to buy his high
priced pasteboards. But New York
is full Of good spenders. 50 that Is
the least Of the promoters worries.
Tex has got a Garden of Gold
or his hands and he has the chutes
all creased TO ease his dollars down
the sangways to . fortune.
