COPPER WORKS TO PLAY
DRY DOCKS SATURDAY

One of the most interesting games
on the schedule of the Raritan Cop
per Works team this season, is sched-
uled to be played on the Raritan
Copper Works field, Saturday after
noon. The Perth Amboy Dry Docks
nine is the scheduled opposition for
this contest. and although the Dry
Dock workers were defeated 10 to 8
by the Ingots. several weeks ago, the
fact that they are out for revenge
and will have a strengthened lineup
to seek it, makes the clash really in
teresting.
In their attempt to ecu revenge
the Dry Dock players will be forced
to pummel the delivery of Ed Kee-
Ter. in order to gain their end, and
this is something that a number of
teams have beef unable to do so far
this season. Keeler has won three
straight games for the Copper Works
outfit, and in fact. the dry dock
workers in the first game of the SER
les. The Copper Works team has
been playing real ball in their last
several games.
The acquisition of Butch" Neider
by Manager Matt Jago of the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock team, is n of the
reasons why the dry dock employees
are of the opinion that revenge will
be obtained in Saturdays game. 1t
is not known whether Neider will do
the fiinging against the Copper work.
ers in Saturdays game. Chismar
started against the Ingots in the first
game, Brownmiller pitching the lat
ter part of the game.

He's doing road-work, skipping

He will stake his supreme effort

There is eagerness in all his work.
Like Dempsey he believes fighting
is the only way to train to fight
your best.
We'd rather risk Tenders system
than Leonard'S where much is at
two things-proper exercises and
proper state of mind.
And when you get in the ring the
trainer can't do your fighting for
you.
Both training and fighting are up
to the individual himself.
Trainers may be either a help or a

In the last analysis a fighter can
not be trained by another. He was
