man appeared afraid OF his oppon~
ent. At various times the Carteret
youngster worked his jab with class,
and his footwork and rope tricks
satisfied the fans that he is advance
ing rapidly, but he would not mix
with Carroll, and that is what the
fans wanted. OF the punches landed,
Carroll sent in the best, and in the
eighth round Hertz appeared to
show the effects OF several blows by
his opponent. Carroll deserved
victory on points in a contest which
was far below what the fans an

NO PROGRESS
BEING MADE
Aquehonga Club Should Has
ten in Making Baseball
Plans

While the rest of the world is
preparing for the coming baseball
season. Tottenville apparently is
making no preparation. This lack
of interest is amazing, particularly
inasmuch as Tottenville enjoyed a
remarkable season fast year.
Tha Aquehonga Club will run
bagebaIl in Tottenville again this
season, but to date no manager has
been decided on and the appoint
men. of a manager is the first real
move to make. Charley Hilker
managed the team through a sus-
cesstul season last year, and in some
quarters his reappointment is ia
vored Dick Carfoot, manager OF
the 1921 team, and Art Romer are
also mentioned as prospective pilots
A new athletic committee has
been appointed at the club, it is
sand, and James A. Simonsen is
president of the club. Rumors in
Tottenville are to the effect that the
board of governors want the veteran
southpaw pitcher, Romer, to run the
team this year and other members
of the club are working for the ap-
pointment of Carfuot or Hilker.
Inasmuch as the baseball season
is rapidly approaching. the local
season being scheduled to start two
weeks from tomorrow, it is about
time that the parties to hold the
rein. as far as baseball in Totten-
Vile this season - is concerned,
should get busy.

AUDITORIUM PACKED
FOR POL ICE Event,
PRELIM GO FEATURE

Interest in the battle between
Johnny Carroll and Benny Hertz,
Iightweights of Carteret. was mainly
responsible for the New Brunswick
avenue auditorium being packed to
capacity for the show of the Patrol
mems Benevolent Association last
night. 1t was one OF the largest
crowds that ever attended an event
OF this kind in Perth Amboy.
While the program, as prepared by
Chairman Bill Seiboth, was made up
almost entirely of men with ring
reputation, it took two beginners,
who were put on in the second four
round event, to give the fans the
best action of the evening.
The younger of the two partici-
pants in the .eigh. round semi-tinal
contest, apparently was satisfied TO
stay eight rounds with his veteran
opponent, the lightweight champion
OF MiddleseX county. There was lit
tie interest in the main bout, al
though the two ring veterans kept
en- the go throughout their eight
rounds in the final event ON the pro-
gram.
In the opening bout OF the eve-
ming, Billy Lewis, hyweight OF West
field, outpointed Joe O'Brien OF
Elizabeth. Lewis had three pounds
on his opponent and, although the
two fought back and forth every sec
ond of the twelve minutes, the little
wet" sent in tn best punches. This
was a return meeting OF the two
men.
Then came the real action. In one
corner was seated Battling Peary of
North Amboy, l41ia pounds, and in
the opposite corner was stationed
Kid Sye of Penn street, lao pounds,
an eX-navy man, Just what oc-
CURED cannot be explained in brief,
but the two local lads went at each
other at the bell in the first round
and mixed to the delight of the en-
tire house. Both men appeared to
be on the verge OF a fall in this
period. The North Amboy boys
started in the same manner in the
second round, SyN going down for a
complete count after one minute and
eighteen seconds of action. Never
before has an event of this kind been
staged in this city, and ii is probable
that it will be impossible to put an
other bout as good. This kind of a
contest has battle royal beaten
many ways.
The contest between kid Mitchell
Of Hall avenue, 14115 pounds, and
Rattling Hamilton of Tottenville,
i47. was uninteresting. Mitchell
was trying to land his haymaker and
missed many wild swings, while his
opponent most of the time was try
ing to avoid the loa1l boxers swingS,
and he was kept busy.
Inasmuch as frankie Gargano was
eleven pounds heavier than Lester
Applebaunl, the siX,round bout was
put off for a time and Carroll and
Hertz entered the ring for their
eight-round semi-linal bout
Carroll weighed lao pounds and
his opponent was four pounds
lighter. Throughout the contest the
veteran forced the fighting and dur

ROD AND GUN. CLUB ACTIVE

The revivification of the Perth
Anboy Rod and Gun Club continues.
The committee appointed some time
ago to prepare constitution and
bylaws held meeting a few nights
ago at the Office of the secretary and
tentative form that had been
drawn up was considered. Tn.a
constitution sets forth the objects of
the club is to promote and foster the
art of trapsbooting and for the pro-
pogation and proper protection of
fish and game and for the promotion
of good Fellowship among lovers of
this "class of sport and recreation.
1t provides for the election of the
usual officers and for Board of Di-
rectors who shall have the general
supervision of the activities of the
club. 1t also provides for the cleo
ton each year of a special commit
tee whose duty shall be to look
after the interests of the members
who do not care to participate in
trapshooting but who are interested
in hunting and fishing.
The committee recently appointed
to purchase and distribute rabbits
has been active. Rabbits have been
ordered and a five hundred acre
farm has been secured for the placy
ing of the first shipment. Arrange
ments are being made to have this
farm posted in the name of the club
and only club members allowed to
hunt thereon. Other farms will be
obtained when necessary and salts
factory results are looked for.

with fish has also been taken up and
while there are only few streams
adapted for this purpose in our
county, such as there are will prob
ably get their share.
A new shooting ground has been
secured in upper Green street, on
the road from Woodbridge to Iselin,
near the fast line trolly crossing and
the traps and houses will be chang
ed to the new location. This was
made necessary by the building de-
velopment at the old grounds near
keasbey which made 1t dangerous to
continue shooting at that place. 4
big trapshooting tournament is be-
ing planned under the direction OF
Field Captain Scott Burns and will
be held in the near future.
SURF FISHING EARLY
It will be of interest to the devotees
of surf fishing to hear that recent
reports from Cape May tell of fish
hawks arriving along the Delaware
Bay shore several weeks ahead OF
schedule. The fishermen there are
delighted. They say it means an
early run of fish along the southern
New Jersey coast. Now is the time
