Manager BresIoW's Interme-
diate Y. M. H. A. Quintet to
Play Every Thursday Night

The Troop / Boy Scouts of South
Amboy have been booked by Man
ager Sam Breslow of the local Y.
NJ. II. A. Intermediates quintet to
appear here a week from Thursday
night to furnish the opposition in
the preliminary attraction scheduled
on the Y. M. H. A. court for that
date. This game will be a prelim
to the Y. NJ. II. A. Seniors-Riva
contest.
The South Amboy combination is
in the field for the junior champion
ship of the county, an honor also
sought by Manager Breslow's team.
The Scouts recently handed a lacing
to the Amboy Turner's of this city.
The intermediates are of the belief
that the county honors rest between
their team and the Scouts.
The Intermediates will play pre-
liminary games TO the Y. NJ. H. A.
senior team on every Thursday
night. Some of the teams which viii
be booked by Manager Breslow are
the Sayreville Boy Scouts, ~Independ-
ence A. c. of New Brunswick, and
the Harmony Juniors of New York
City.
Manager Breslow is DESTROYS OF
booking travelling games for the
next week due to the fact that his
team will not play at home from

being held in the association build

Carroll and Clemens Partici-
pants in Bout at Smoker
Were Managed by him.

Another peculiar feature about
the main bout on the boxing section
of the program for the third annual
smoker staged by the Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association in the Audi
torium last Thursday night. is the
fact that Johnny Carroll crack
Chrome boxer, like Kid Clemens,
local entry in the headliner on the
card, was also started off in the
ring by Joe McNulty, local promot-
er and third man in the ring for this
fight.
McNulty, it is said, felt like a ia
Their in the ring with two sons when
the bell for the start of the fight
was rung. He states that inasmuch
as he started both men in the ring
for the purpose of making name
for themselves. he knew that one
of his men had to bow to defeat in
this battle. McNulty states htat
every blow struck by either man,
hurt him as much as the receiver,
and that when in the closing ses-
sions of the bout a knockout appear
ed unavoidable, he did not like the
task before him-that Of counting
out a boxer whose ring career he
had started.
The local promoter. however, is
we'll aware of the fact that both
Carroll and Clemens satisfied the
big crowd of fans who turned out
for this smoker. Both of these fight
ers since starting their respective
rec have proven real drawing
| attractions as willing mixers, and
| McNulty feels proud of having the
honor to say that he started both
of them in the ring.

Speedway Manager Will
Book Only Leading Teams
in county and District

Every combination organizing in
Middlesex county Will not be given
a chance to play the Perth Amboy
Speedways on the Auditorium court
in this city, Manager John Doyle of
the latter team announces. inasmuch
as an effort Is being made to book
none but the strongest teams obtain
able to appear on the local court
every Saturday night to oppose the
Speedways.
So far this eason the Speedways
registered victories over the Niche
Inns of Midtown, the Roamers of
Newark and the Orange Big Five of
Orange. All of these teams have
made worthy records, the first men,
toned combination having been en-
tered In county court championship
fights for many seasons. This Sat
urday night the Junior Order United
American Mechanic team of Newark
Will oppose the Speedways. This
combination was booked due to the
fact that it holds a victory over the
Speedways as a result of a meeting
in Newark several weeks ago.
The S~ayreville Big Five and the
Harmony Club team appear to be
the only two teams in this county,
outside of the Michelins. worthy of
consideration as real opponents OF
the Speedways. Both of these teams
performed in real style against the
local representative team on the
Auditorium court in games last sea-
Son.
The Celtics of South Amboy and
other teams in the county have chal-
lenged the Speedways. If these
teams can show by participation in
contests with real strong combina-
tons in this county that they are
strong enough to play the Speed
ways, they will be booked to appear
here before the close of the season.

And SO he wore diamonds and drove

In all fstic dealings he had the

His boys took wallops-and he

But all that is over. and now the

all we'd have left is rasslin'.
Young golfers wonder why they
played q seemingly better game the
first couple times on the links than
they do to-day.
It's simple. They play too much
form and not enough golf.
When they first trotted out to the
green. all they had was an inkling
and the bug. Later they get deep-
er into the rules. talk golf to others
and listen to their advice. Before
they know it they are trying to du-
plicate some others style of play
instead of sticking to their own.
They try to get form into their
game. They must stand with feet
cut, so. with the weight on the right
foot; the shoulders must stay firm;
the grip; keep the eye on the ball,
swing low and increase the swing
at the approach; the arms should
be kept well out; the weight goes
behind the ball and at the finish
of the stroke n must follow
through.
All this they try to remember at
a iash-and the pill dribbles for 25
yards. Then they wonder what is
wrong.
All they have to do is be nat
ural, step up to the pill and slam
it. For after all it is a mans own
game that count and not the du-
