APPLEBAUM To
FIGHT BEAVER
Return Battle Between Union
County Fighters Here
Next Tuesday Night

One of the most successful boxers
in this vicinity since boxing activi-
ties were resumed hereabouts is
Lester Applebaum, Railway feather
weight. The Union county feather
is carded to fight a return match
with Young Beaver of Elizabeth
in one of the four round contests on
the program for the Center Athletic
Club show to be exhibited in the
local auditorium next Tuesday
night.
Applebaum fought a great many
battles at Railway during last sum-
mer, and has also appeared at
shows in Carteret and this city. His
bout with Beaver at one of the
early Center A. c. shows was one
of his hardest since his ring entry
and his handlers, therefore. are de-
sirous Of having him at his best for
the return encounter.
Young Egmore and Joe Sid of this
city, and a number of Carteret,
Railway. Staten Island and Eliza
beth boxers have entered the ring
with Applebaum and his perform
ances in this section have ma 1e
him somewhat of drawing card.
Beaver is training hard to defeat
his Railway opponent and thus gain
the laurels belonging to Applebaum
as result of his numerous victo-
ries in this county.
The program for Tuesday night
consists of an eight rounder, six
rounder and three fours.

GRAMMAR BOYS
CLAIM VICTORY
Difference of Opinion as to
When Timekeeper's Whis-
tie Blew

The grammar school basketball
team of Miss Ida B. Miller claims
the game played with the vocational
school team yesterday, r'aintaining
that the time-keeper's whistle end
ing the game blew when the score
was 17-16 in favor OF the gram
mar school. The referee and play
ers did not hear the whistle how
ever, and play continued. Before the
timekeeper could again blow her
whistle, the referee had called foul
on the grammar school. The voca-
tional player made the free shot ty-
ing up the score. The timekeeper's
whistle had blown for a second time
just after the foul was called.
The managers of the two teams
would not give in to the other and
Referee Allen would not decide the
argument but said the timekeeper's s
whistle ends the game.
John Shoe of the vocational school
was time-keeper but Miss Miller of
the grammar school held the whis-
tie and she asserted she blew the
whistle ending the game before the
foul was called.
The vocational. school team was
minus the services OF it's star for
ward, Sullivan, but Chizmadia
starred, making twelve points for his
team. The Yocationals are confident
I of annexing the next two games. The
vocational school five was the only
quintet that defeated the grammar
school last year.

Trenton High school court the

Having easily come out ahead of
the Red Bank cohorts, who are con-

Waddell is extremely confident that
his men will carry off the bacon in
both clashes. How team such as

way the other day.
If An1boy had played all of its
games as in the Red Bank contest, it
is not a wild guess that the locals
would be considered as a logical
contender for state honors. AL
though the Crimson and White has

Eddie Collins is generally re-
garded as one of the brightest
players in the major leagues. He
richly deserves that distinction. be-
cause brains is always part OF his
play.
However, it is possible for the best
of players to be tricked and made to
look foolish. Usually it takes an
equally keen player to turn the
trick.
Recently Collins was asked by an
inquiring reporter If he had ever
been made to look foolish on the
ball field.
"often," replied Collins. ''but to

For Crimson and White
BOYS Basketball Team

However, to ge tback tc the sub
iect, the Amboyans are to play Key
port this afternoon. In the battle
today the coach will probably use
most of the second strong men, as
the visitors will no doubt be easy to
conquer. The boys from the other
side of the bay have suffered many
defeats to date. Hoboken High ran
up a century score on them, while
South Amboy easily subdued them.
The latter were decisively beaten by
the locals and on this the Amboy
| followers bank their prophesy that
an easy win is in store.
The locals are after No. IS to-
day, and this coupled with the fact
that it is Friday, should give the
hard-luck wishers of the city schol-
astic representatives something to
rave about.
Coach Waddel1 will use his reg
ular lineup, while Keyport will use
Evans, Palumbo, Fowler, Walling.
Britton and Brennan. The contest
will get under way at 3:45 p. m, and
Stuaffer of Cornell will officiate. The
cheer-leaders will be on hand and
see that jinx thirteen does not ef-
feet the home team.

Tomorrow afternoon the High
school varsity will hook up with the
strong New Jersey School for Deaf
Five at the state capital. The Deaf
Mutes lead the Trenton Interschol-

to see the locals run into their de-

Of the strong st. Joseph's Catholic
Club of Hoboken when the Hoboken-

lineup against them. In the return
setto in this city the Saints without
