L prepare for a tough fight, as
Jackson is considered one of the
leading f~iyweights in New York.
The strength of Colletti in flyweight
circles may be best judged by a
statement of frankie Genaro's
manager to Tom McArdle, promoter
of the Ocean Park a. A. OF Long
Branch.
McArdle endeavored to match
Genaro, the recognized junior fly
weight champion with Colletti in a
bout at the seashore. Genaro's
manager classed Colletti as too
last fight here, made quick work
of Sailor Hammer. Later he de-
feated a Philippine boy, the fly
weight pride of Atlantic City.
Manager Ed Mooney Poulsen of
this city is in receipt of a COM
munication from the Atlantic City
promoter regarding a bout with Ray
at the Atlantic City club, and the
local manager replied that Colletti
is ready to box any flyweight in the
world, so the clinching of the Ray
Colletti bout is practically assured.

Last Sunday afternoon "Slow

combination of Brooklyn were de-
feated. The defeat of Drach by the

first game of the series and the
Ridgewoods won by a 81 margin.
This Sunday afternoon the Long

HOWE RUBBER
COMING HERE
Will Play Return Game With
Local Caseys Tomorrow
Afternoon

The Howe Rubber Company team
is coming here tomorrow afternoon
with its strongest team in an effort
to atone for its defeat in an extra
inning game, at the hands OF the
knights of Columbus team of This
city at Bucceleuch Park in New
Brunswick, two weeks ago. This
game will be played on the Raritan
Copper Works field and will get
under way promptly at $3.50 o'clock.
The New Brunswick manager has
communicated to Manager John
Harrington of the local forces. that
his team will be somewhat padded
for the game here, SO that the
county sea Saturday representa-
tives will not be eliminated from
the running in this series. A sem
sational comeback in the ninth in
ming of the first game, featured the
work of the Caseys.
Herman Jeroff will probably be
sent to the mound by Manager Har-
rington in tomorrow's game. Jeroff
pitched a c%reditable brand of ball
against the Belmar Mystics last
Saturday afternoon, but errors were
mainly responsible for his undoing.
In tomorrow's game, the Caseys will
lineup somewhat the same as last
Saturday, and an interesting contest
is anticipated.
This is the first home game for the
knights of Columbus team this sea-
son, and a big turnout is expected.
