LEGION TEAM
GOING STRONG
Walters Forces Play Roose-
welt Separates This Sunday
Night in Roosevelt

With his team working like a well
etied machine, Manager Walters of
the Beauvais Post American Legion
quintet of T~ottenvilIe, is confident
that the Roosevelt Separates will
suffer their initial setback of the
present season in the game on
Goughlin's auditorium court, Sunday
night.
In two games played this season,
the Tottenville representatives de-
feated the Jamaica Reds at Pleasant
Plains and lost to theMsmeedways on
st. Stephens courtA eeity. To-
morrow night the Woue~ Big
Five will be played at Pfeasani
Plains and another victory is anti
cipated,
Followers of the Tottenville team
are of the opinion that the league
team is as strong as AVG this season
and will again be a strong contender
for the court championship of Staten
Island. Last season the Beauvais
Post quintet gave the Separates the
hardest tussle during the long win
ring streak of the boreugh outfit.
Manager Walters expects to take
as big a gathering to Roosevelt this
Sunday night as the legion team did
last season. Tottenville fans are
rapidly taking interest in the court
representatives of the section.

The winners at a glance;
Joe Conetti of this city, easily out
pointed Ray Belmont of Philadel-

Jack Mcfarland of Elizabeth,
knocked out Mickey Devers of Al

Fans See Action
For the first time since Joe Col
letti, the fyweight knockout king,
made Perth Amboy his home. fstic
fans of this section last night saw
him battle eight rounds, the sched-
uled distance, with his opponent.
Belmont, Philadelphia's leading fly
weight, was as tough as Philadel-
phia fight fans made known last
Monday night.
The Amboy lad entered the ring
weighing Ill pounds and his oppu-
nent was n pound heavier. In the
opening session the three minutes
were devoted almost entirely to feel
ing out and in a mixup which featur-
ed the close of the round, the lecai
boxer had the advantage.
Colletti forced tha fighting
throughout the second round, but
his opponent never appeared In
danger of a knockout. 1t is prob
able hat the local fywe,ght was
not trying for a Knockout as il
must be taken into consideration
that he departs on Tuesday for a
big fight in Cuba. There was plenty
of action throughout the third
round, both boys mixing for the
three minute period and again Col
letti gained the advantage in a slug
fest.
The local f1yweight was dancing
around pretty, eluding wild rights
and lefts swung by his opponent.
Colletti led the fighting and landed
often on the face and body of his
opponent in the fourth and fifth
rounds. In the sixth round. the two
boys stood in one corner and there
were plenty of gloves flying for
about a minute and a half WI en- Bel
mont stepped back and covered up.
Belmont done exceedingly well in
the seventh and final rounds eonsid-
ering the punishment he received
throughout the bout. The Philadel-
phia lads face showed the effect oil
Ce1letti's punching. while at this
close Of the eight rounds no ons
would ever suspect that me loea
southpaw had been in a battle. HI
had a slight cut over his left eye
where Belmonts head had landet
late in the fight.
The in which Colletti bat
tied and eluded punches swung b,
his opponent in the last seyera
