Sunday afternoon, while the Maurer
team will furnish the opposition to
Manager Bonalsky's outfit in game
on the Maurer grounds Monday at

. The Huguenot team has been set
ting a good pace this season and
should give the boys from this
city a hard tussle. Thorvie Olsen
will probably do the flinging in the
game on Staten Island, and judging
from his record for the season, the
Huguenot combination should pre-
pare to receive a setback.

rBy Evening News Correspondence
MATAWAN, Sept. 2:-With Aicer
Jensen, "Pud" Stinson, John
Stretch" Burke, Tom Burke, Joe
Wood and Frank Bader of Perth
Amboy in their lineup, the local
representative team is hopeful of
making a good showing in their try
out game with the Keyport repre-
sentative team to be staged on the
Keyport grounds Monday afternoon,
Labor Day.
If the team placed on the field by
Manager Carney outclasseS the Key
port combination, or If the Keyport
representative team on Monday is
much stronger than the Matawan
team, then solue real padding will
be done for the first game Of the
seven game series to be played at
Keyport a week from Sunday. The
followers of the respective teams are
roofing for victory for their team,
and the Keyport and Matawan fans
and followers of the diamond game
in Middlesex and other sections of
Monmouth county are expected to
come out strong on Labor Day af-
ternoon.
Blunt" Pfeiffer and Benny" Gloff
of Keasbey have been playing with
the Keyport team all season and 1t
is likely that this team will also
pad" up materially for the contest
on Labor Day. Championship series
are a great thing in Monmouth
county the last two months of the
season. The Red Bank Orioles and
the Norwoods of Long Branch are
scheduled to start a series at Red
Bank q week from Sunday.

will play two baseball games over
the week end and holiday, the Mon
itors will furnish the opposition in
a game on Sunday afternoon, while
the Tigers will be their opponents
in the game on Monday afternoon,
Labor Day. The Tiger game was
originally scheduled for Sunday at
ternoon.
Manager Ohlson is arranging to
have his strongest lineup on the
field for both of these games. 1t
Is likely that Beck, an old time
Acme pitcher, will ascend the
mound for the Junior Club nine in
the holiday attraction, while Man
ager Ohlson's pitching choice for
Sundays game has not been an
nounced. Habercorn will be sta
toned behind the bat for the Juniors
in both contests.
All members of the Junior Club
baseball team are requested to re-
port for practice on the Raritan
Copper Works field at 6 o'clock to-
night. The Monitor and Tiger COM

ball on local lots this season, and
should put interesting opposition
against Manager Ohlson's team.

West Amboy grounds, and big at
tendances are expected at both con-
tests.

The Bayonne American Legion

RAILWAY FAN GIVES VIEWS
ON KEASBEY-S SAINT GAME

A Railway reader of the sporting
columns of the EVENING NEWS
has written the following letter
with reference to the much talked
of st. Anthony-Keasbey Field Club
game, with the request that 1t be
published:
RAILWAY, N. ].
august 81, 1921.
Sporting Editor:
KINDLY allow me a small space
may give by idea of this Keasbey
F. c. team. which l see so much
about in your paper.
Il have seen in your paper quite
a few times where they are very
a%nxiously awaiting a chance to play
the st. Anthony's baseball club.
Well, 1 want to say a few words
right here. 1 have only seen the
st .Anthony's perform in two games
and this was on August 81 at Perth
Amboy, and if they perform as good
at all times as they did in the first
game and seven innings of the sec
ond game, l think that the Keasbey
+. C. would not have a chance.
II have noticed each time that
the Keasbey team has a write-up
that they always mention how they
beat the Railway team. Well, they
did, but they did not play the regu-
lar Railway team. Each time that
we played Keasbey, we had a patch
ed-up team. / also saw the game
between Linden and Keasbey, and to
my knowledge think that Keasbey
could not beat a good junior team.
Linden's baseball team is not n
of the strongest in Union county.
(Kindly let the Keasbey's mana
ger know that, If they have u man
ager.)
II am salesman and my route is
over union and Middlesex counties.
I do not know a player on either
team, but would be willing to help
the st. Anthony baseball team
along with a little side bet, If they
need any outside help.
"Thanking o for your valuable
space, and hoping to be able to see
a game between the Saints and
Keasbey, l remain,
yours In sport,
ROBERT E. FLYNN"

Rebooked for R. C. W. Field
4. Next Saturday

On next Saturday afternoon the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical
Company and the Raritan Copper
Works industrial teams will clash in
the second game of a series, which
it is believed, may decide the indus
trial championship of this city. This
game will be played on the Raritan
Copper works field.
Earlier in the season the Roessler
e. Hasslacher nine defeated the In
gots in a game on the Raritan Cop
per works field, but the copper
works team today is q great deal
Stronger than it was at the time
these teams met in the first game.
AS a result of the Ingots strength
ened condition, an interesting tussle
is expected, inasmuch as Manager
Poulsen's boys are hopeful Of even
ing the series by taking this game.
Z Manager Maloney will probably
use Herman Jeroff and Meyer Lar
SON in his battery for this game,
while Ed Keller and Tommy Van
Glider will comprise the battery for
the home team. Charles "Pud"
Stinson, who recently returned from
the South, will be in the lineup OF
the Ingots In this game.

0'LEARY LOSES
BOUT To BURNS
Excellent Card is Given at
American Legion Bouts at
South Amb0y
[By Evening News Correspondent

fBy Evening News Correspondent
SOUTH AMBOY, Sept. 2:-Frank
"Sturdy" O'Leary was stopped in
the fifth round of a scheduled eight
round engagement, the main event
on the card arranged by the Luke
A. Lovely Post of the American
Legion, for their show staged in the
Empire theatre here last night.
O'Leary, a buck private, was OPP
posed in the ring by Captain
"Whitey" Burns of Newark. The
| latter is a well trained, experienced
fighter, and a punch delivered direct
ly below the heart in the first round
practically decided the fight. 1t is
said that this blow was struck in the
same spot where the local fighter re-
ceived a cracked rib in a fight at
Long Branch a week ago.
The blow landed by the Newark
boxer in the opening round weakened
the local favorite and affected his
showing for the remainder of the go
up to the time his trainer, Jimmy
Manley, threw the towel into the
ring. O'Leary also was bothered by
his nose, which has caused trouble
in previous ring matches.
Although O'Leary put up good OPP
position under the conditions, Burns
had the better of the fight by a good
margin lip until the bout was
stopped.
Mickey Cans Shades Reich
Mickey Cans and Eddie Reich
opened the show. the formers weight
being 115 while the latter weighed
11S. They fought four rounds and
were both applauded for their clever
work. Cans had a shade over his
opponent.
Men Stall. Bout Stopped
The third fight was between Red
Hylan, of Orange, and Benny Frank
lin, OF Newark. Neither made any
effort to fight so after a minute of
Sailing the referee stopped the bout,
the understanding being that where
there was no fighting there would be
no money paid. Warning was given
both men and they paid no notice to
it.
Darcy Outfights Dixon
Billy Darcy of this city, and
Johnny Dixon of Newark, met in the
next bout. From the sounding of
the bell for the first round until the
bell that ended the four round fight
there was nothing but fghting. Al
all times Darcy led the fighting n
battered his opponent all over the
ring. Dixon was in fine shape, ard
~weathered the storm. He was taken
by surprise at the very offset and
never was given a chance t. lead the
fighting.
The fans were in an uproar for
the entire time of this pleasing bout.
Seldom does one see such continuous
fighting. Both boys are assured a
hearty welcome in this city at n
time

"Sucker Fights"

The rush is on for pasteboards
to the Johnny Wilson-Bryan Dow
ney jamboree at Tex Richards
Jersey arena on Labor Day.
Again the public plays the sucker
to the tune of jangling dollars in
promoters cash registers.
The public was bilked at the first
Wilson-Downey mix at Cleveland
because of the weakened Cleve-

mitted Wilson to bring in a hand
picked referee. who spoiled an other
wise excellent battle and officially
saved the champions crown, albeit
it was somewhat trampled and bent.
Downey won that fight by a clean
knockout. But Wilson won't con
cede it, and hangs on to his clouded
title.
Did anyone hear any talk of put
ting on a second scrap at Cleveland
to a free gate to decide the mixup ?
That would have been the fair thing
