Kid Potty, local boxer. now under
The management of Steve O'Connor
Of New York, has secured a New
York boxing license, and expects to
re- enter the New York prize ring in
the near future. Hugh Boyle OF
Elizabeth. is assisting O'Connor In
handling Potty's affairs. and the I'm
ion county fight expert is of the be-
fef that Potty has several good bouts
left in him.
Yesterday afternoon in the Y. M.
e. A., Potty weighed in at 121 pounds
the lowest weight he has been in for
Tome time. O'Connor will endeavor
10 secure fights for Potty with such
men as Midget Smith, Jack Sharkey
and boys in the class of these boxers
Boyle claims the featherweight
championship of New Jersey. mas
much as frankie Wilson has practi-
cally retired. The Elizabeth author
ty claims Potty was foolish to spot
his opponents so much weight in his
most recent bouts. as in doing this
he could not show up to his best.
Everyone in this city is well ac-
ouainted with Potty's ring recor
his greatest c being a knock
out victory over Joe Forgione. the
local southpaw fighter is n OF the
earnest NIT artists that ever stepped

CUBAN STARS
COMING HERE
Havana Team to Oppose Am
boy Nine on Copper Works
Diamond Sunday
BY B. Link

The Cuban Stars of Havana will
oppose Joe Mullen's Perth Amboy
baseball nine on the Raritan Copper
Works field Sunday afternoon, and
Nat Strong has announced h a n
regular team will positively appear
here for this double attraction. The
first game will get under way at 2
O'Clock.
The Havana. Cuba combination in
addition to being a great baseball
outfit. should prove quite an attrac-
ton in another way, inasmuch as the
Spanish lingo handed out by the Gu
ban tossers on the coaching lines and
while they are in the field. keeps the
| fans interested in the game at all
times.
The Bushwicks of Brooklyn and
the Royal Colored Giants have been
two of the leading opponents of the
Cuban Stars on the diamond in this
section. so far this summer. The
Royal Colored Giants handed a lac
ing to Mullen's outfit In the opening
game of the season on the Raritan
Copper Works field, but Mullen's
team has improved q great deal
since that game, and the contests on
Sunday afternoon should be real Bit
terly fought affairs.
With Harry A%pplegate and Henry
Neider as the Amboy moundsmen
for this game. jess" James at first
base, RED" Singer at shortstop
and Alb Herman at the dif1cult sta
ton, Mullen's team should give the
fans real action, for a team with
players of this caliber in their lineup,
should be enabled to give some of
the best teams going. real opposition.

Tomorrow Night

The st. Anthony Baseball Club
has been booked to meet the Ly-
ceum Athletics Club nine in the
benefit game on the Raritan Copper
works field tomorrow night, the pro-
ceeds to go to the Firemen's Relief
fund. The Aquehonga team of Tot
.enville was originally scheduled to
meet the Lyceums. but it was i'm
possible for Manager Carfoot to get
mis- team together for this game.
The contest is scheduled to start at
5 o'clock, and a record crowd is ex-
pected to be in attendance when the
irst ball is thrown.
There should be greater interest
IN this game than a contest between
The Tottenyille representatives and
the Lyceums. inasmuch as both
combinations are made up of local
players, and the two teams rate next
In line to Manager Mullen's Perth
Amboy representative team. 1t IL
understood that the result Of tomor-
row nights game may decide wheth-
er or not the st. Anthony team will
be booked to play the Perth Amboy
representative team.
Neither manager has announced
his lineup for this game, and there
fore it would be hard to attempt a
comparison of the two mines. The
Saints, however, have defeated the
Eorwoodsu Of Long Branch. while the
Lyceums lost to this team. Both
teams lost to the Aquehongas OF
Tottenville, the Saints. 20, and the
Lyceums. 60, but the Lyceums de-
feated the Red Stars of New Bruins
wick, the team which defeated the
Aquehongas last Sunday.
The Lyceum ball tossers were put
through q practice session on the
City Park grounds last night by
Manager Tom Snyder, and Mana
ger Wesley Wilson put his st. An

SAYS DEMPSEY
New Jersey Man Satisfactory

IBy Inc AsSOClateQ fToSb
ATLANTIC CITY, June 22:-
Selection of Harry Ertle as referee
of the worlds heavyweight cham
pionship contest between Jack
Dempsey, the title-holder, and
Georges Carpenter at Jersey City
july 2, Is entirely satisfactory to
Dempsey.
Dempsey expressed this opinion
when advised that Joseph Cassidy,
secretary of the New Jersey Boxing
Commission, would officially an
.nounce the selection before night.
| Dempsey had not discussed the STU
alton with Jack Kearns as Kearns
had not returned from New York.
Dempsey said he had full conh-
dence in any decision that Kearns
made in regard to the choice OF the
third man in the ring.
80 it's Ertle. Is it?" Dempsey
said. "Well, that's good enough for
me If it suits Kearns. Kearns does
the managing and I try to do the
fighting. Any referee that is expert
enced is acceptable and I feel Ertle
is competent.
II can truthfully say this, l hon.
estly do not care who Is In there to
| referee. That's up to kearns. 1t
wouldn't make any difference to me
if Descamps refereed. I think Car
pentier feels the same way about
the referee question"
Dempsey is more concerned over
the report that he has been named
correspondent in a divorce case in
Oklahoma. Dempsey today instruct
ed his attorney. Ray J. Cannon. of
Milwaukee, to investigate and start
suit for libel II necessary against +.
r. Boulanger, who in his petition
for divorce named Dempsey. Can

Heavy Ball

Pitcher Carl Mays Of the Yankees
throws the "heavy ball." Few big
leaguers use it.
The principle of the heavy ball
is that when it leaves the players
finger tips it is started rotating to-
ward the catcher's glove.
1t literally rolls into the pocket,
striking like a chunk of lead.
This is due in his particular case
to his underhand delivery.
When the ball is thrown overland
the tips of the fingers start the ball
spinning backward and 1t strikes the
catcher's glove lightly.
Cy Young used to throw a heavy
ball. lilly Shafer of the old Giants
threw a leaden ball also. He used
to nearly burn Fred Merkle up al
first base with his whip across from
third.
Slick-Not Sucker
Tex Richard is bald. Otherwise
he'd be gray-headed after he gets
through with staging the creates
money bout in ring history.
He has to be a genius to pacify
the "iniured'' and still, make them
think they are getting what they
wanted.
After he pays the fighters half a
million, he'll pay the piper.
And about all he'll have left out of
a million-dollar bank roll will be the
song entitled. Il Put Her Over Boys,
AT That"

The Brooklyn branch of the Am

championship match between Marin
Plestina and Stanislaus Zbyszko.
The legion states that it wants the
match in the interest OF fair play
Plestina has offered to give his

Just why Plestina has been made
an outsider by the so-called ''wrest-

He is one of the best matmen in
