Collins, said to be one of the best
backstops in Union county this sea-
son. will do the receiving for the
visitors in this contest while the re-
mainder of the lineup has not been

L WEIGHTS BATTLE I'M mann BOUT ON BOROUGH CARL
Railway TO Be Padded
For Only Game With
AmbOyS This Season

"Whitey" Schultz probably will
be given the mound assignment for
the Railway Athletic Association
nine against the Perth Amboy Attn
letic Association outfit on the Rari-
an Copper Works field Sunday af-
ternoon. Railway was booked to
play here several weeks ago but rain
prevented play.
This will be the only chance for
the Railway outfit to score a victory
over the Perth Amboy representa-
Ntives this season, inasmuch as the
kocal schedule is completed tpr the
season. Last year Railway took the
measure of the locals in two con-
tests. n by a big margin and the
second in an extra inning game.
Laurent, a southpaw, did the
pitching against the Amboys last
year and he was later added to the
Amboy roster as an all around man.
He is a pitcher, first baseman and
an outfielder. This season. however,
he has not been pitching up to his
standard of last year and for this
reason Manager Duff may not start
him against the locals.
Schultz has been the mainstay in
the box for Railway this season.
This pitcher was responsible for a
majority of the Railway wins in the
Union county league and was espe-
cially effective against the Pearls,
1s.le strongest team in Elizabeth at
the present time. The Pearls are
about to start a series with the Rec

.pANCHO VILLA
WINS TITLE
Stops Johnny Buff in Eleventh
Round at Brooklyn Last
Night

: America has a new fiyweight
champion as a result of the fight at
Ebbets field, Brooklyn, last night.
The seconds of Johnny Buff of
Jersey City, threw a towel in the
ring after twenty-seven seconds C..
lighting in the eleventh round anc
Pancho Villa, the little Filipino, wal
made the champion.
The contest was scheduled to go
twelve rounds and although Buff
was known not to be in real good
condition, it was expected that he
would hold his own with Villa. Buff,
however, tired toward the end of the
bout and in the tenth went down
for a count of four. The 1900
fans expected him to be counted out
In this round, but he stayed and
was somewhat groggy when he
came out for the eleventh.
Villa has not fought many en-
gagements in this country and it was
not any too good for the boxing
game. to give the Filipino a chance
at the crown before a native of the
country. frankie Genaro or Joe
Colletti are among those who
should have been considered before
Villa, Genaro recently secured a vic
tory over the Filipino.
1t is probable that Villa will
make for the setups, collect a few
more American dollars and depart
for the Philippines. Then an Amer
lean will have to go to the islands
In order to get a crack at an Amer
lean title. In the near future Villa
may fight Wilde for the worlds IT,

DOC" EMMQNS
HAS CHARGE
Gives Pointers to High School
Football Candidates Yes
terday Afternoon
(High School Correspondent

NttlSn school correspondent
Under the direction of Arthur
Doc Emmons, a Springfield coll
lege scholar. the candidates for the
Perth Amboy high school football
team were given their second out
door practice or the Raritan Cor
per Works field yesterday afternoon.
The same number that reported
the previous day were in attendance
again yesterday. A willing spirit
was predominant and each fellow
gave everything that was in him
during this practice. The practice
opened with a calisthenics drill af-
ter which all the men lined up and
received instructions in diving for
the ball.
The candidates were then divided
into two groups and a football was
given to each group. The ball was
passed and the candidates received
same in their stomach pit; the pur-
pose of this practice was to harden
the abdominal and stomach muscles.
Following this the men had the
ball passed to them on the run.
Emmons taught the candidates the
correct way to pounce on the pig
skin and Immediately the value of
his instruction was visible. A mile
run closed the session.
1t is apparent that Amboy will
have a light but speedy team. Red
Nolan. Andy Seaman, George Wob-
lock, Ray Carbon. Paul Rasmussen,
Pete G~rieve, "BJddy'' Larson and
Wilmer made a good showing yester-
day.

clnity is prepared to enter the ring
for his eight round engagement
with Jimmy Sweeney of Allentown,
Pa. in the main bout on the Roose-
welt boxing club card to be exhibited
in Coughlin's auditorium, Roose-

Regardless of the fact that the
Poughkeepsie lad has shown to
to this city, boxing fans here are
confident that he will receive a lac
ing at the hands of Tony Dragot-
ta's battler, Sweeney has never

piled an enviable ring record.

challenge to any flyweight in the

weight champion, to the newest of
flywelght contenders. Pancho villa
who fought the champion last night,
frankie Genaro and a few other
rated high lights In the fiyweight
class have refused to step into the
ring with Ed Mooney" Poulsen's

Sweeney is said to be a fighter
along Colletti's style, a mauler
from the initial gong. II this is true

fashion. In the spring of this year
Colletti scored three two round
knockouts in three weeks, one in
the local auditorium and two at
Ebbetts' field in Brooklyn. Sailor

DRAWS NOTICE
Chicago and New York Papers Give
Space to Next Weeks Show
in Coliseum.

The Eddie Anderson-Pal Moore
fuss scheduled for next Thursday
night in the Davenport Coliseum is
attracting no little attention in the
larger sport centers of the coun-
try. Chicago writer's are making
frequent reference to the coming
bout between two of the best ban
tams the west can boast, and this
week an announcement was carried
in the New York World.
The World makes reference to
the sensation Eddie created in the
east, when as an unknown kid from
Wyoming he startled the natives
with victory over Midget Smith
and a draw with Jack Sharkey. IL
counts Eddie's prospects agains.
Moore as exceedingly bright.
Harry Hochstadter, boxing wri-
ter for the Chicago Post and man
ager of Pal Moore, devotes his COL
umn of yesterday to the impending
clash. He has many nice things to
say about Eddie, but of course by
reading between the lines it can be
guessed that he is not expecting
the Moline boy to pull anything
startling on Pal. Just the same,
Pal had best be in first class shape
and not take anything for granted.

rived in Waterloo yesterday as the
vanguard of the score and 10 base
ball players signed by Manager Pat

The stream of players is expect
ed to grow in volume today until
the full allotment is reached. AL
though the players are to report
by April Is, Manager Raglan does
not expect the entire crew until
Sunday or Monday, as a number
have other matters to take care of
before coming to Waterloo.
Both Severeide and PoriseIl have
their place of work in the infield,
the former desiring the keystone
sack and the latter third base.
Both men have been working out
for the past few weeks and are in
good physical condition for the pro-
gram outlined by Raglan. Only light
workouts have been scheduled for
Saturday to allow the players to
warm up to their work, and it is
planned to hold a nine inning game
between the two most promising
outfits Sunday afternoon at Cedar

BOY SWIMMING
STAR ARRIVED
BY HARD WORK
J O hnny Weisr1ulIer
Took Coaching
Seriously.

Chicago, April 1910 be any
thing big or exceptional means
work, according to Coach Bach
rach of the Illinois Athletic club.
Johnny Weismuller, holder of many
worlds records and said by the
New York Athletic clubs magazine
to be the fastest swimmer the
world has ever seen, worked like a
Trojan in the water to reach this
height.
When he came to the l. A. C. he
was green kid" the coach said.
He appeared to have latent pow
err" the coach added, but he was
not getting anywhere with his
kick" The coach gave him rub
Der ball and told him to swim on
his back and hold the ball in front
of him and kick himself to the
wall Then he had him take a
truck tire, put his feet and legs
under one side, permitting the feet
to rest on top of the farther side
of the rubber tube This arched
his back and he padded with his
arms to keep his head up. All of
this meant the hardest kind of
work, but the coach says there
never was a boy who took coaching
better and who worked as hard as
Weismuller did to improve his form
under teaching.
Under this work, and water work
is the only exercising he does, he
has gone from 100 to ITO pounds.
His muscles are all of the long var
iety. Skaters and most sprinters
develop short muscles. The swim
mer's muscles are there. but so
sleek and smooth they do not show.
and they give the body the long
graceful curves in which the scuip-
tor delights.
Weismuller is the holder Of the
national A. A. U. all-around cham
pionship.
