AMBOY "BHLs" CAN NOT FINISH BETTER THAN FIT
Nat Holman, Babe Ruth
of Court To Play In Amhoy

A week from next Monday night,
Nat Holman. the Babe" Ruth OF
basketball. will cavort on the local
auditorium court with the Original
Celtic basketball team against the
Perth Amboy Speedway outfit. Team
ed up with Holman on the Celtic
team is a real collection of stars and
Holman will be able to show to bet
ter advantage than in any other
game he ever participated in on a
local court.
Holman has always proven a
drawing card in this section for it
must be admitted that he is a cork
ing ~all-around court man. He first
played on the Y. NJ. II. A. court in
this city. and later performed on
Palace Hall court and then in the
Auditorium. He was eve teamed
up with any Beckman, Dehnert
Barry. Haggerty or Leonard on any
of the local courts, so that he would
have a chance to work his own abil-
ity TO the best advantage.
The New York boy who started
his basketball career on Y. NJ. H. A.
courts in New York and with New
York school teams, has a big follow
ing of fans in this section. He made
= big hit in New Brunswick two
seasons ago, for he defeated the
strong Riverside team of South Am
boy in n game on the New Bruins
wick court two nights after the South
Amboy representatives had scored a
decisive win over the Perth Amboy
Auditorium team.
Basketball experts have sat
down to figure the better man., Hoi-
man or Johnny Beckman. These
two players are conceded to be the
leading basketball players of the
world, and this season Holman is
playing better ball than his team
mate. The death Of Ernie Reich
captain and star forward of the
| Celtic team, has resulted in Holman
| being moved from guard to forward
where he is teaming up with Beck
man.
When the Celtics take the courf

and Beckman will be found in the

FIVE REASONS WHY
DODGERS ARE STRONGER

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, March "a.
-Manaser Wilbur Robinson is con
fident his Brooklyn team will make
a much better showing this season
than in 1921.
Here are five reasons that Robbie
offers for being so optimistic:
Walter (Dutch) Ruether came to
BROOKLYN dissatisfied las spring, put
Boss Ebbetts on his mental
and broke training before the season
even started.
He has married since, received a
voluntary salary increase and now
votes Ebbets a prince. He promises
to work his head off for the cause.
lack Wheat and Hy Myers did not
report until the squad broke ram
ing camp at New Orleans last Spring
and were never right all season.
This year they both reported early
and are getting into the pink.
Caddie Cardore pitched his head
off irving to beat Babe Ruth and the
rest of the Yankees on the 1921 ex-
hibition tour and complained that
these efforts lost him a lot OF games
in the championship campaign.
Robbie has decided to let Galore
and the rest OF his aces work only
about two games each in the IA with
the Yanks and ease them into the
1922 race -.
sherry Smith had no ambition last
wear. He is now a fond papa ana
as full of work as a rookie. He is
adding an underhand ball to his
repertoire of slants and promises TO
he a left-handed Carl Mays before
the big show opens.
Otto Miller was the only depend
able catcher last year. Ernie krue-
! ger has been sold and two ripe PACK
| stops in Barney Hungling ana Rank
DeBerry secured in his steao. Aack
Taylor, with a couple OF MAYOR
| league seasons behind him. ought u
have improved.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-24

and Dutch" Dehnert will be |
toned in the defensive berths.
The Celtics, worlds champions,
have proven a big attraction wher-
e. they appear, this season more
than ever before. Basketball man
ayers throughout the North, East
and West have booked Manager
Fury's outfit as a final attraction for
their fans. and it is for this reason
that the crack New York team has
been booked for the local court.
There are many in this city who
have not been given a chance to see
this c~rackerjack team in action this
season.
Tomorrow night the Speedways
will have as their opponents the
strong New York Harmony team.
This combination is one of the Lead
ing heavy semi-pro outfits in New
York City, and last season lost a
hard fought game to the Celtic
machine.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-03-24
JOE C0LLETH WILL GET
PLENTY OF ACTION SHORTLY

From present indications Joe
Colletti, Ed Mooney Poulsen's fast
moving flyweight, will see plenty of
action during the next several weeks.
Colletti is being matched to meet a
good opponent at a show to be
staged in South Amboy in the near
future, and he will also fight at
Hazelton, Pa, within the next two
weeks. Manager Poulsen is talking
terms with a Newark manager for a
fight at Harrison, and it is likely
that Colletti will be matched to meet
n of the headliners of his class at
. New York club in the near future.
Colletti lis being doomed as the
coming fiyweight champion, and his
showing in this city last Friday night
has given the fans plenty to talk
about. Colletti knocked out Sailor
Hammer in the second round of
their bout, one Of the headliners on
the card.

Local Alleys Last
Night

After winning the first game by
one hundred pins the local Elks last
night dropped the second and third
games of their match on the local

The four matches which will be
played in the Y. NJ. G. A.. gym to-
night in the city volley ball league
give promise of providing the closest
and most interesting yet played in
this circuit. Eight teams will clash
and in every instance the teams COM
peting have exactly the same rec
ord of games won n lost to date.
This coincidence would make it APP
pear that one-sided games will be
conspicuous by their absence and
three game matches are likely to be
numerous.
The Lead Works and Y. NJ. G.. A.
teams will clash in h first game
at 7:15 o'clock. These two teams
have each played one game to sdate
and lost that one.
At 1880 o'clock the Vocational
School team will clash with the
Merchants. Both of these teams
have PLAYED two games and won
both of them. Although Capt.
Sharp's merchants are the most ex-
perienced in the game the boys are
looked upon to give their elders a
go for their money"

RECRUIT CATCHERS
SHOW LITTLE CLASS

NEW ORLEANS, La, March "a.
Manager Higgins has decided that
none of the recruit backstops win
the Yankees will be able to make
the grade.
This means he will again put the
catching problem up to his trio OF
last year, Schang, Devormer and
Hoffman.
While the Yankee staff isn't the
best in the league it is far from be-
ing. the worst.
The fine style in which Devormef
came through last fall has greatly
relieved any worry that Huggins
might have had.
Previous. to Devormer's great work
Higgins felt that an injury to Schang
spelled disaster for the Yankees.
That situation no longer exists.

Reliable authorities predict that
reasonable indications point to a

the marketing of their crops. and
their distribution. The Hotel Siberia
