The Newark Triangles checked the
winning streak, of the team of
Messrs. Jacobowitz and Nannen and
in the closing contests of the year
the borough representatives lost
three out of four games played.
This season the Separates started
off with a victory over the Wood
bridge Big Five in a sensational
game, two points separating the

HELMETTA, Oct. 27.-With the
first two weeks of the Middlesex
County Industrial Bowling League
finished, the eight teams are round
ing into shape and already an i'm
provement is noticeable in the form
of the ~contending teams. the
Midtown Michelins has shown the
greatest improvement over that of
last year while Hercules and Du

good form. The Helmetta CLUB,
winners of the cup last year, are in
second place and but n game be-

OF the individual bowlers. Nehr-
korn, leader UP to the last game of
the 1921 season. shows that he will
be in the running for highest nom
ors this year. He leads the league
as high average with a mark Of
1865. Valek held the lead until
Monday when he fell down. The
high score honors are credited to
Fox of the Joel Parker Council

have a great team at the present
time, a combination capable OF rep
resenting Roosevelt. one of the lead
ing towns in Middlesex county.
Eggers, one of the best pivot men
in the East, Is the latest addition 20
the Separate roster. He Is teamed
up with Freddy Glochau. one OF the
best courtsters' in Middlesex county:
Sam Denberg and Jiggs Donahue of
Newark; Jimmy Donahue of Bay
onne and Chip Cutter of Roosevelt.
Just how the South Amboy team
will lineup has not been decided but
it is a known fact that the Separates
can hold their own with any COM
bination in this state at the present
time. Scharff of the South Amboy
Junior Mechanics Is in charge of the
South Amboy team and inasmuch as
originally came from another sec
ton of this state 1t is probable that
he will introduce a number of new
basketeers to the fans of this sec
ton for this contest.
Booking Manager Nannen of the
Separates has made known that
some of the leading basketball teams
in New Jersey and New York have
been booked for games on the Roose-

when a master boxer such az
Leonard is can become confused
with the style of a left handler, It
is only natural to assume that a
boy OF Belmont's ability would hKdl
it more puzzling than did the chala
pion.
Therefore. belmont is anx5cuaI
to meet some other opponent IN q
bout to be staged there so that he
can be given the Opportunity to
show his real ability. but. should
he be asked to do SO, he viii gladly
meet Colletti again. as he feels That
the experience gained ia their last
meeting will enable him TO defeat
Colletti without any trouble. Bel
mont meets Johnny Terror OF NEW

INTEREST IN
RAILWAY GAME
Amboy High Against Strong
Opponent in Union County
Tomorrow
HI. s. p

"What will Amboy do against the
Railway High School eleven tomor-
row." This Is the question on the
lips of the followers of the Crimson
and White gridiron representatives.
Going up against a team that has
an enviable record compiled through
years of consistent playing will test
the mettle of the local gridders. The
Union county lads besides having the
above advantages will also have it
on h visitors in weight and size.
Railway lost three games this year
to three of the best Glass A and B
high school teams in North Jersey.
Summit scored a 21-7 victory e
Railway and Roselle won by a 1870
score. The result of the game to-
morrow will decide whether Amboy
is ready to take its place with the
topnotchers.
Amboy will place it's strongest
team on the field tomorrow. This
will be the first game for Don Mar
tin, looked upon as the greatest pig
skin player at the State street insti-
tuition, he having been laid up on ac-
count of illness at the time of pre-
vious engagements. A first class
squad of substitutes will be prepared
for action in tomorrow's game.
A snappy practice was held yes
terday afternoon, much time being
given to instructions on line plung-
ing. A final practice will be held
today. A large number of fans will
accompany the team to the Railway
grounds tomorrow and the game
will start at 8 o'clock.

BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL FIELDS

: Pete Tyrrell, manager of Ray
Belmont of Philadelphia, writes
that his battler is ready to meet Joe
Cotletti again in the local ring at
any time.
Great rivalry will be shown at the
meeting of the B~eauvais Post and
Montana football teams in Totem
Vile on Sunday afternoon. The fans
of Tottenville and ~Stapleton are
great rivals in all branches of sport.
An effort is being made to organ
ize another bowling team in this
city to give battle to the recently
organized Argonne five for the
bowling championship of the city.
There Is plenty available material
for another good team.
Although the big league baseball
season ended some time ago, sport
ing circles are still alive with talk
regarding the change of ownership,
managers and players by the vari-
u clubs.
There is as much interest in the
college football contests scheduled
for tomorrow afternoon as there
was in the games played last week.
The Princeton-C Chicago contest is
attracting real interest.
Judging from his showing on
Wednesday night Howard Richards
has regained his old form. For a
time 1t was feared that an injury
received during the summer would
interfere with his activities on the
alleys.

Sports Editor,

Dear SIR
RAY Belmont, the local fly
weight who boxed Joe Colletti N
your city last Thursday, is anxious
TO return to Perth Amboy to meet
Colletti or any other fiyweight the
promoters select.
Belmont is a much better boy
than he proved to be in his bout
with Colletti last week. His bout
with Colletti was his first meeting
with a left handler, and he was pug
zled by the style of the Perth Am
boy boxer. 1t will be recalled that
Benny Leonard admitted after his
bout with Lew Tender that he was
greatly puzzled during the first ten
rounds of the bout because of the
fact that he wasn't accustomed TO
meeting southpaw opponents, and

Fast Game Looked For
On Auditorium u
Here Tomorrow g

the Brooklyn professionals, one of
the strongest basketball combina-
lions In New York. Charlie Fahrer
was the individual star of the Co
lumbia University basketball team
for several years and is we'll known
by local fans having appeared in
the Perth Amboy Y. M. H. A. line
up several years ago. His brother,
Lou Fahrer attended the City Col
lege of the City of New York with
Sam Cantor where they made bas-
ketball history for that college. This
team compares favorably with any
all-collegiate basketball team.
Hank Thomas, the captain of the
local favorites, has put his men
through several practice sessions for
the collegians' game and while Blac-
kie Regan, Pete Hanson, Charlie
Sher, Rufie Allen and Harry Davis
have shown up exceedingly well in
practice, Thomas and his teammates
anticipate a harder russell than the
previous two. Thomas and Regain
have practically reached mid-season
form at the forward posts and the
college guards will have to hustle
to keep the scoring of these stars at
a minimum. Pete Hanson. the ster-
ling guard, is back in fine condition
and with Charlie Sher. the Totem
Vile %favorite. who played a pretty
game Saturday, and Bunk Allen,
can be expected to give a good &C
count of themselves. Davis who has
been taking care of the pivot posi-
ton in a capable will en-
deavor to give the locals the bene-
fit of the tap as his great height en-
ables him to get the jump on his
opponent.
Chick Farley will officiate and the
usual dancing before and after the
game will entertain the fans during
that time.

Although the newly organized
Perth Amboy five basketball team
has been favored with large attend
ances at their two previous games
at the New Auditorium when VIC
sories were registered against the fast
Danbury Separates and the strong
EngIewood Club, a much larger
crowd is expected at the Auditorium
tomorrow night when the profes-
sional collegians of New York City
display their class against the local
representatives. The Collegiate bas-
ketball players are doubtless the
strongest combination of excollege
dribblers ever assembled on II
team.
Basketball fandom is well acquain-
ted with Del Delaney and Mac
Baker of New York University. Bak-
Ell was captain of the N. Y. u. quin-
tet in 1918 and in 1919 was a mem
Der of the N. Y. U. team of which
Delaney was captain and which team
won the National Amateur Athletic
Union basketball championship at
Atlanta, Ga. A multitude of the
best quintets of the United States
competed for this honor but Cap
tain Delaney's. N. Y. U. court artists
annexed the much coveted honors.
Baker was also captain of the N.
Y. u. baseball team on which team
Delaney played a prominent part.
Both these men received offers from
several International League clubs
but turned them down to go into
business.
Johnny Barsha, who also will ap-
