margin at Jersey City will be deliv-
cred by Lew Tender, southpaw ace,

Ever Hammer, Chicago lightweight,
who made things interesting for
Leonard over the ten round route
last month, is the first obstacle
Tender will be called upon to clear.
KNOCK out Hammer, bowl over
Pal Moran a week later in New
York and then coax Leonard to give
him a shot at the lightweight title
in a decision bout in New York
That's the battle cry of Tender as
he awaits the gong that will sen
him on his way in the eight round

FOOTBALL CALL
: ISSUED TO-DAY
Many Candidates Expected to
= Report for Instructions
This Afternoon
II. S.

The call for football candidates
will be issued today by Coach Rob-
ert S. Waddell of the Perth Amboy
High School. All persons interested
in trying for the varsity eleven Will
be asked to report in Room 107. Pro-
fessor Victor Wisner's classroom.
Professor Wisner was a notable
gridiron star, having performed with
the famous Washington and Jeffer-
son eleven of several seasons ago.
His presence will be of considerable
help to Coach Waddell, who no
doubt will call upon Wisner to as
sist him.
Football is at present the main
under discussion in the por-
tails of the local high school. Wild
rumors are current on different mat
ters. H.
The formation of a gridiron ma
chine is but one of the many steps
being taken by Coach Waddell to
bring athletics on a higher footing.
Until the present coach took charge
of the physical education department
the major sports were basketball and
baseball. In the ambitious schedule
compiled by Coach Waddell, 1t Is
his plan to have varsities in foot
ball, track, basketball and baseball.
Besides all these there will be
the usual interclass baseball, bas-
ketball and track series.
Unless the Freshmen-Grammar
school stars r capable Of gaining
s. berth or two, the representative
eleven will be chosen from the vet
Grams Of last years interclass COM
bats.
The molding together Of a strong
team Is being watched with great
interest by the football populace of
the city on account of the fact that
the famous fall sport is being resum-
ed after a wen year lay-off.

A triple by Mike "Ponya'' 500 in
the sixth inning with the bases

i'll the fifth stanza. Applegate held
the opposition hitless and scoreiess
in the last four and one-third in
nings. The visitors registered two
runs in the opening stanza as a re-
sui. of two errors, added another
run in the fourth on an error of
omission and scored their last two
runs as a result of some heavy
clouting. One of the soldiers was
called out for not touching second
base on a home run clout.
Wells held forth on the mound
for the visitors and held Amboy
hitless until the last of the sixth.
In this stanza three safeties and
two passes enabled the home team
to even matters. Ballo's double,
kcchek's long single and Soo's
triple were mainly responsible for
this rally.
Neither team scored again until
the last of the tenth, although both
teams had runners on the base in

third single and went to second

At various stages of this game
the playing on both sides was some

Ingots were in for their second de-
feat of the season at the hands of
the arsenal soldiers when Wells
passed the fifth inning successfully.
Once they got to him, however, the
was decided.
Mcclure played a sensational
game at shortstop and third base
