NEW YORK, Apriy 1.-THE sun
dodGing tribes of Manhattan's mon-
dain midniehts have . new bit Of
gossip for the afternoon breakfast
hour. Nightly there appears In the
supper clubs a nan OF mystery-a
perfectly groomed fellow Of slight
ly Oriental cast. He escorts slen-

Some say he 10 a Japanese. others

know his name. He sits opposite
her with a sphinx-lilIe expression
and an odd air of personal detach-
ment. He is. impeccable In dress
and manner
She does all the talking-babbling
on and on. while gazing at him
adoringly. The other night I saw
them In theater. She wore a pale
orchid slip, Of chiffon as narrow as
a bloster case, held on one shoul-
der with topaz clasp and circled
about the hips with a barbaric gir-
die of topaz and silver. Emeralds
dripped from her ears and fingers.
Not once during the progress of
the play did he speak to her. Once
or twice he nodded. 1t SO hap
pened that the play dealt with a
phase of mysticism. and the prin-
cipal character was a Chinese bent
on villainy. They departed abrupt
ly in the middle OF the second act.
Several city editors. scenting a
readable yarn, have sent their
trained news hounds on the trail Of
the man. So far his living quarters
have not been found. After his tour

The Perth Amboy High Schooi
varsity basketball team registered a
second win over the Woodbridge
High School quintet on the local
court yesterday. The tlna! score of
this game was 35-16, and the result
of this contest ends the series be-
tween the two teams. This season
was the first time in a great many
years that the two teams met in
sport.
"Pete'' Grieve, recently acquired
forward of the Crimson and White
team, was again M of the bright
est stars of the game. This player
registered even field goals and six
foul counters. He plays a. smashing
floor game and works well with the
team.
At the start of the game it was
visible that the Woodbridge team
was not in it with the local repre-
sentatives. During the first period
Amboy scored twenty-five points to
eleven for the Woodbridge outfit.
In the second half a number
OF changes were made in the Am
boy lineup and in this session also,
the home players outscored the Wis
itors. Captain Charley Hughes
played his usual good defensive
game. Hoagland was the leading
scorer for the Woodbridge team.

CARROLL READY
FOR TWO FIGHTS
Will Battle Curry on Thurs
day Night and Maize
March II

Johnny Carroll. well known Roose-
welt boxer. is training earnestly for
two hard bouts in this city during the
next twelve days. This Thursday
he is scheduled to MATTE Willie Cur
ry of Chrome in one of the three
round events on the card for st.
Mary's Athletic show in the Auditor
iuin, while a week from next Friday
night Carroll will swap punches
with Mike Maize of Stapleton at the
Police Social Club smoker in the
same hall.
Carroll anG his large crowd of fol-
lowers from Roosevelt and vicinity
arc DESTROYS of having these two
fights put down in the win column.
For this reason he is training daily
so as to be at the top of his form.
The Roosevelt battler knocked out
Frank Clemens in his last bout in the
local ring. and it is probable that he
will endeavor 20 win both of these
fights ty the kayo system.
In Curry, Carroll will encounter
plenty OF opposition, according to re-
ports from tn. borough. The fans
who witness this bout are sure to
get plenty of action for it is said that
there is a great deal of rivalry be-
tween the tvs BOXERS and rival dele
cations will come from the borough
to root for their respective favorites.
This three round bout will surely be
a hummer and it will be necessary
to start from the hell in the first
round lie either expects to score a
knockout.
Carroll is really popular in this
section and the eight-round bout on
the Police Social Club card for st.
PatriciI's nigh. might be considered
a battls for ring popularity here
abouts. Mike Maize. well known
Staploton boxer, once was the popu-
lar idol OF this section and he is
training hare to regain the class that
made him n Of the leading fighters
in this vicinity.
Followers of Maizie on Staten Is
land have the opinion their favorite
will have an easy time with Carroll,
while Roosevelt fight fans have an
opinion directly the opposite. Since
his knockout victory over Clemens,
Carroll has q reputation for standing
in the way of boxers who are endea-
voring to stage a comeback and it is
probable that the Staten Island fight
er will meet the same opposition as
ClomonS.
The cards for the two big shows
to be held III .he Auditorium, one by
the st. Mary's Athletic Club and the
ether by the Folice Social Club, are
first class ONES, and record crowds
are expected at both events. In addi-
tior. to the boxing section of the pro-
grams. there are wrestling bouts and
q number of acts OF good vaudeville
entertainment.

weight title. He must either win
by a knockout or outpoint Greb by
a wide margin. Nothing better than
a draw will be a eve blow to Glib
bons reputation.
In meeting Harry Greb, Gibbons is
really going against only "a middle
weight fighter. In all probability
Greb won't weigh over 165 pounds,
possibly lighter. If Greb was to
shade Gibbons in the coming bout
it would erase much if the reputa-
ton that the St. Paul fighter has
been years in building Up.
Fistic fans will say that a fighter
who can d~ecisively win over a heavy
middleweight has little or no chance
to swa punches with Jack Demp-
sey. That is the position Gibbons
will find himself in if Greb should
defeat him.
