fights Tommy Murphy, in the eight
round feature bout at the New
Brunswick avenue Auditorium next
Friday night, is In demand all over
the country. Next Fridays show is
the fifth to be staged under the au-
spices of the National Sport Club.

Leonard has been unusually lucky
in avoiding punishment in his
numerous contests to date.

opposition, [

Following the signing of Banks,
the local manager cancelled the
booking he had with the little stars
All Star combination. The Jersey
Police quintet was the next strong
est opponent on his file, and mas
much as the manager of this team
disputed the claim of the local club
to the state title, tonight's contest
was arranged.
Hickey, Van Doehren, Tiscornia,
Stewart, Bergen and Logan are well
known to followers of court activities
in this section of the country. Hickey
and Van Doehren are of the st.
Joseph team, Tiscornia is a New
York Crescent man, Stewart played
in the New York state league, and
Bergen and Logan starred in the
Hudson county circuit.
The Hudson county ~basketeers
won twenty-six games in thirty-one
starts last winter, and they have reg
istered eight consecutive victories
this year. Hickey and his crack
collection of basketeers will give the
new Amboy lineup, said to be the
strongest ever chosen to represent
the local club in it's two seasons of
activity, a real test.

fray will start about $50 o'clock,

WILL
HAVE BATTLE
Recent Sprint of McCIeIIans
Has Thrown Scare in Lin
coin Camp

The squirt of the Mcclellan Engine
Company in the local firemen's bowl
ing league has attracted added inter-
est in the two weeks old eight team
circuit. Winning three games from
the Washingtons has put the upper
State street firemen just three games
behind the indicated Lincoln bowl
ers, champions of last season.
1nasmuch as the leaders have only
rolled the Humanes, Eagles and
Libertys to date, it is hard to esti-
mate the true strength of the down
towners. The McClellans have rolled
against the Projections, Garhelds
and Washingtons. three of the
strongest combinations in the league
this winter.
On Monday night of next week
the McClellans are carded to take on
the Humanes, and or the following
night the Projections and Lincolns
will lock horns. 1t is probable that
these games will change the leader
ship of the league.
Reports from the headquarters of
the Eagles, Humanes, Libertys and
Garfields are to the effect that once
their representative bowlers have hit
their stride, the other companies
will have to step some in order to
hold the leading positions in the
race.
The last match on the league
schedule is set down for Thursday
night, April 3. The first half sched-
ule ends on Thursday night, Decem-
Der 81.

FANS
WANT CONTEST
DESTROYS of Seeing Borough
and Legion Teams Meet
This Afternoon

Carteret football fans, elated with
the showing made by the Roosevelt
Football Club, at New Brunswick on
Thanksgiving afternoon, are DESTROYS
of seeing a contest between the bor-
ough eleven and the Beauvais Post,
American Legion team, of Totem
Vile, arranged for the Raritan Cop
per works field in this city, a week
from tomorrow afternoon.
An intercepted forward pass with
foul minutes to go in the last period
of the game at Nelson field, on the
holiday, enabled the Vons to score
a touchdown. 1t was the only score
of the game and although the Vons
were the favorites on paper, the
borough pigskinners had an excel
lent chance to sew up the game
on various occasions.
Several weeks ago the managers
of the Tottenville and Carteret teams
talked over the possibility of a game
on the Tottenville field, but the
price asked by the borough leader
resulted in the game being put off
for a time. A number of days ago
the borough pilot communicated
with the Tottenville manager and
offered to accept the original guar
antee for a game tomorrow after
noon. Manager Thomson had al
ready booked the Uniteds, of Staple
ton, for a return encounter on his
date but the Tottenville manager
suggested a g~et-together for next
Sunday.
Carteret carried q big delegation
to New Brunswick and the legion
team could also draw well for a trav-
cling contest. 1t is hoped that a
game can be arranged for the To-
cal field a week from tomorrow, and
it is believed that the undertaking
would go big.

OUR oUTDooRsMAN SAYS

The fresh water season is over.
Now is the time to care for your
tackle and keep it in condition for
next year. Your flies need special
care. Many are destroyed annually
by moths and unless cared for next
season may find many of them use
less. A small cedar box is a good
place in which to keep them, or
moth balls Or camphor will keep
these pests away from your favor
ties. If you haven't looked after
them already-do so now.
To prevent wet boots from be-
coming stiff rub them with a good
dressing of castor oil just before
they are thoroughly dry. To soften
stiff boots, soak them in water and
treat them as above. Never put
wet boots near a fire to dry; they
should be dried slowly.

and EggerS
Star For Townsend Five

The playing of Dewey Schwan-
be1t and Pete Eggers, of the Perth
Amboy Big Five, was mainly respon-
sible for the 1927 victory scored
by the Townsend Big Five over the
st. Mary Speedway five on the
Bloomfield court last night.
Schwankert tailed four times
from the foul line, while the Amboy
pivot man made two field goals and
five fouls. These two men accounted
for nineteen of their teams thirty
two points, and eight less than the
number scored by the entire visiting
quintet.
The Townsends held the lead dur
iLg the better part of last nights

rassers having won a one point de-
oision from the Speedways on the
Fayette and Mechanic streets Ly-

American Legion passers OF Totem

row afternoon to continue their SEN
sational streak, for in their regular
Sunday contest they engage the
Uniteds, of Stapleton, n of the
strongest elevens on the island.
In the opening game of the season
the legion players coached by Archie
Wilburn played the Uniteds to a
scoreless tie. 1t was one of the hard

witnessed on this end of the Island.
Following their appearance at
Tottenville the Uniteds played the
Royals, Of Pleasant Plains, to a
~scoreless tie, and repeated this exhi-
bition on the Pleasant Plains

less ties on this end of the island Is
quite a record to be established by

What, is the correct body position
of the bowler at the moment the ball
Is delivered to the alley?
Answered by
JAMES BLOUIN
Worlds Classic Bowling cham
pion, Former American Bowling
Congress individual champion and
AH-Around champion. Greatest
bowler in the game today.
The left foot of a right handed
player should be to the front, and
the right foot as far to the rear as
possible. This position insures a good
bowler's crouch and gives a player
maximum control over the ball al 1t
IS being delivered. The crouch shown
in the illustration above is the posi-
tion in which a player has the most
perfect balance as he delivers the
ball.

Trapshooting, Hunting, Fishing

ored by all sportsmen who love the
chase.
The one absolutely unselfish friend
that man can have in this selfish
world, the mi that never deserts
him, the one that W proves un-
grateful or treacherous, is his dog.
Senator Vest.
Nature
zone of the gains from hunting
Is a knowledge of nature. Some will
say the knowledge when gained by
the slaughter of animals and birds is
an expensive one. However, very
few would feel the grandeur and
peace of the deep forests unless his
love of hunting or fishing took them
into it. Fortunate Is the man who
has learned to hunt with the camera
or microscope. He will appreciate
the wonderful works of God more
than the hunter whose main thought
is to end the life of an animal"
We agree to a certain extent with
the preacher who spoke these words.
But where one man hunts with the
camera or the microscope thousands
hunt with the gun or with rod and
line, and if they have the instincts
of the true sportsman rather than
that of the hunter, the killing they
do will be very small compared
with the knowledge of nature and
the pleasure they derive from their
trips III in the open.
Are all fish eannibals? Perhaps
not, but many of them undoubtedly
are. In a recent statement by
Switch Reel" a well known writer
on angling, he says Il opened a
weakfsh Of about one and a half
pounds and found the stomach con-
tanned twenty-seven partly digested
bluefish of about two inches in
length"
This destruction of fish by other
fish, together with the waste and
recklessness of the commercial
fishermen is fast destroying life.
While nothing can be done to rem
edy the first evil-it is nature-some-
thing can and should be done to
prevent the disregard of law and
fair play by the latter.
The worlds record brown trout
was caught this aso by George
A. Babb at Lake Nebagamon, Wis.

contest conducted by Field and

This is ideal weather for cod
fishing. Large catches are being
made by those who enjoy this sport.
A few days ago a party of thirty
! fottr man on ODe Of fhe boats of
