Manning's Court Combina-
ton at Auditorium.

The strong knights of Columbus
quintet from Harrison Is slated TO
furnish opposition to Bill Manning's
combination of basketball tossers on
the Auditorium court tomorrow
night. This will be the first meeting
of these two combinations this year.
and inasmuch as the Harrison outfit
has been as successful on the court
as the Amboy outfit. a hotly con-
tested battle is expected. The Har-
rison Caseys have engaged in court
tits with many of the strongest bas-
ketball teams in northern Jersey.

woods of Long Branch on the latter's
court on Wednesday night. ended
the series between these two teams,
and eliminated the Long Branch
outfit from the South Jersey profess
sional basketball championship.
Manning's team defeated this team
in the first game of the series on
the Auditorium court last Saturday
night. The Amboy team is expect
ed to line-up as follows tomorrow
night: Thomas and MeWalters. for
wards; Cosgrove, center; Harrigan
and Dave, guards.
The Knights of Columbus team is
n of the strongest in the state as
was evidenced by its victory over
the Newark Turner's two weeks ago
by a score of 39-3s, being the only
team to defeat the Newark combina-
ton this season. Manager Ryan, Of
the "Caseys" has promised to have
his regular lineup. consisting of
Smith, Doherty. Ford, Flynn, Metz
ger, Rachow and Stumpf.
Sunday afternoon the Amboys will
ploy the Original Celtics at the Cen
trail Opera House. New York city.
The Celtics won by four points the
last game with the Amboys. Man
ager Manning is trying TO sign the
Celtics for a return game at Perth
Amboy Saturday of next week. but

suit of Sunday nights game.
