EAT INTEREST IN WHAT MAY BE LAST SERIES GAME
Mike Maize Training
Hard for Return Bout
With Bert SmitherS

and the Roosevelt lad also appeared
to be in fairly good condition. It is
believed this bout was somewhat of
a turning point in the career of
Carroll.
When he fought Smithers, Maize
vas an entirely changed boxer. He
did not appear to be trained down
to his best fighting weight and
Smithers scored an easy victory.
Smithers has a good ring record
and has taken part in numerous
engagements since his fight here
with Maize. He will go into the ring
with plenty of confidence and will
be a much harder man to beat than
in the first fight.
The Staten Island veteran, how
ever. appreciates what a good show
ing in this fight will mean to him
and he expects to be in better fettle
than on the night he fought Carroll.
Mazie's handlers claim he knows
the way to fight the boy from the
town of fighters"
In addition to this contest there
will be the usual semifinal and pre-
liminary contests of interest to the
fans of this vicinity. This is the
third show TO be staged by the
borough club.

eran opponent. Maize is reported to
be training hard in order to be at
his best for this fight and an inter

stop, is a western league player. Ed
Grassick halls from Railway and is
regularly a backstop, but can also
play the outfield and is a good bat
ter. Grassick went to the New York
Yankee training camp last spring.
Dunn and Pfeiffer will team up
with Grassick in the outfield. and
the first mentioned player will go
into the box in case Wacker is not
effective.

changes is to strengthen the team

date has been all hat could be ex-
pected. Dunn twirled the first three
games of this series for the Aque-

in the last two contests.
500, who was defeated by Rah-
way last Sunday afternoon. will re-
ceive the pitching assignment for
the Amboys and the remainder of
the lineup will be the same as was
used against Railway last week. 1t
is probable that Messrs. A~pplegate
and Poulsen will also have another
man on hand in case 500 is unable
to check the T~ottenville batters.

this series for Amboy, Schesler and
Jensen worked in the second and

thing is in readiness for the first of
the three-game series between the
Holy Trinity a. A. and the Old
Bridge teams that will be staged at
the Holy Trinity grounds at this
place, Sunday.
Great interest is being aroused
owing to the fact that the lineup of
both teams will contain none but
LEGAL players and the manager of
each team has filed a list IL none

center field; Nicola. right field;
Kraemer, catcher; Benham, first
base; Yates, third base; Wellman,
pitcher; Boyce and N. Hillyer, sub
stitutes.
Old Bridge is pinning it's hopes on
Wel)man, its pitcher, who stands far
above any of the local pitchers. He
has landed a place in the no-run-no-
hit hall of fame and has won nearIy
every game he has engaged in this
year, and his friends are backing the
team behind him for a sure victory.
Mondoker. who has been pitch
ing for the the past twenty years,
will be in the box for the Holy TIM
ity team and as he has lost but n
81 me this year., the records are about
even. His last two games have been
shut-outs. Mulligan. the big second
sacker, is expected to do great things
with the stick. 1t was on account
of the signing up of this player that
