Johnny Carroll, Chrome light
weight, will fight Jimmy Fargo i'll
n of the feature bouts at Tom Nc
Cardle's fight club in Long Branch
or Friday night of this week. The
Chrome battler is well known in
this city, having appeared in the
local ring on numerous occasions.
He is well liked here for his game
fighting qualities, and it is likely
that a good number of his followers
from this city will go to the seashore
club to witness this fight.
Under the direction of his man
ager, Carroll is preparing for a real
campaign this winter against man
of the leading men in his class. 1t
Is likely that he will appear on the
card of the local fight club at one of
the opening shows when the newly
organized club obtains a license and
gets under way. Carroll has partici-
pated in a number of bouts at Plain
field, Elizabeth and Newark.
On Saturday night of this week
Carroll will give a boxing exhibition
at the knights Of Columbus lawn
fete being held on High street.
Fargo, it is said, is a real opponent
for the Chrome battler to start a
campaign against, but Carrolrs real
gameness is best brought out in a
bout against an opponent who is
rated as a better fighter.

PITCHING JOB
FOR APPLECATE
M0undsman Scheduled
TO Pitch for Pearls at EIiz-
abeth This Sunday

Harry Applegate, star local pitch
er. will hurl for the Pearls of Eliza
beth in an all-important city league
game at that place this Sunday att
o The Pearls will be opposed
in this city by the Knights of Co
lumbus nine, the latter combination
is leading the circuit by one game.
This means that the Perth Amboy
team will be without the services of
their most efficient boxman in h
double header with the local South
ern Leaguers scheduled for Sunday
afternoon.
The star local pitcher is well
known and liked by the diamond
fans of Union county, particularly
in Elizabeth. Applegate practically
won the city league for the Pearls
last season, registering a l TO v VIC
tory over one of the leading teams
in the circuit. This year he was de-
feated. in a hard fought game by the
knights of Columbus nine, but errors
by his teammates played a leading
part in his downfall.
Applegate is the most popular
player local fandom can boast OF. He
has done more for baseball in this
city and vicinity than any other per-
son ever connected with the great
diamond game. Although handicap
ped by having the use of only n
eye, it can be safely said that he Is
the best local pitcher Perth Amboy
has seen in action, in the history or
the game here.

Is a real drawing attraction. 1t
would be well to figure some day,
the number Of fans who turn out
solely for the purpose of seeing APP
plegate play. Applegate has been a
big factor in the success of the Am
boy team on the field this year,
one of his most successful seasons
1t Is believed a large number of fans
from this city and vicinity will go to
! Elizabeth on Sunday afternoon to see

meet his people because Of a mis-
take on my part.
About the time I first met this
young man my girl friends, for mis-
chief. introduced me as a married
woman. II was fun while II lasted,
but people do not believe me when I
tell them I'm single. have told
my fiance the truth, and he has for
given me, but the story IL very
likely to reach the ears Of his par
ents. DISTRACTED.

the mischief to explain how absurd
your idea was when you began II.
She'll surely do this for you. Just
