LEONARD STILL
A REAL CHAMP
Tender Never Had a Chance
in Lightweight Battle at
Yankee Stadium

After fifteen rounds of vicious
fighting to the champions advant-
age. Benny Leonard succeeded in
disgusting another n 81 the con-
tenders for the lightweight title last
night when he easily defeated Lew
Tender in fifteen rounds at The new
Yankee Stadium, New York.
Leonard was a sure winner from
the start but, although Tender could
find no way to break through the
champions seemingly concrete de-
Tense could not knock the challenger
out. Tender started the leading
early in the fight and found ROM oil
Leonard's jaw to rest a few short
jabs, and enough space on the
champions body to bounce a few
hooks. But toward the end Of the
battle could not fight enough to
keep the champion moving.
A clear example of Leonnrd's
craftsmanship was shown during the
late rounds when Tender fell partly
through the ropes. Leonard had all
the chance in the world to score a
clean knockout, but he stepped back
until the challenger regained his
feet. During the last two roln5s
Leonard gave Tenders body a ter
rible beating and had him rocking
from head to foot. Only the chal-
lenger's grit and ability to stand the
punishment saved him.
The way in which Leonard made
good use of Tenders clinching by
landing u%ppercuts almost at will, and
the swiftness and steady pace
the cleyerness in defense and Of
Tense, and the boxing of Leonard
which seems unbeatable, leads many
fans who witnessed last nights bat
tie to think that Benny Leonard
will retire from the fistic game as
an undefeated lightweight cham
pion.
! In the preliminary bouts, Mike
Cancro, of Tottenville, received the
judges decision over Jim Stewart,
while Tony Lyons beat Freddy Lux.
Babe Herman won from Joey Fox,
and the ten round semi-inal be-
tween Jack Zivic and Johnny OAR
cey was won by Zivic.
The crowd at the News office last
night was as large or probably larg-
er than any of the gatherings VINO
listened to the fight returns during
the recent title battles. The re-
: ports round by round were given
from the News window.

BLACK SOx SEEKS DATES

A chance to show its wares in
this section is desired by Manager
A. Gadomski of the Black Sox. His
team has an enviable record and
the manager is at a loss to under
stand why other teams refuse to
play his proteges. One of the teams
refusing to play his outfit is the
Pearl nine. Gadomski states that
the Pearls are seemingly afraid of
the Black Sox. Manager Gadom-
ski can be reached at I'll Parker
street or by calling 1855.

team in great style. Rogers former
ly was connected with the Durham
team of the Piedmont League, where
he is said to have been batting in
good form.
With twenty in a row the Perth
Amboy High School basketball team
will make an effort to continue their
streak with the start of the season
this fall. It is probable that Passaic
will be booked tt play the locals.
The heavy hitters of the Point
Pleasant representatives played
havoc with Mickey Soo's deliveries
in the game on Saturday. Mickey
performed with the Raritan Copper
Works outfit at the Monmouth
county diamond.
1t Is understood that another new
move to be made by the Amboys
baseball nine will be a series of five
games with the Acquehongas, of Tot
tenville. The series will take place
some time in August.
Local swimmers are contemplating
holding a big aquatic meet some time
next month. The recent meet held
by Rufus Allen didn't go so big ow-
ing to bad weather.
Two games are scheduled in this
city for today. Hank Thomas Bust
ness men will oppose the Perth AM
boy High School Independents and
the local coppers will play the Dark
Horses.
Many local horse race fans are
planning to attend the races TO be
held on the Freehold course on
August 2s to September l, inclusive.
$4,000 in purse money will be dis
tributed at this time.
I The efficient way in which Ed.
Barrett, new ump for the Amboys,
handled Sundays game added to the
interest. The fans, with few ex-
ceptions, claimed him the hest on
the local diamond this year.

DR.. MANUEL MAKING SUR
VEY FOR SURFACE CREEK

"The situation looks good. There
is every reason for optism with refer
ence to future school conditions on
Surface Creek Mesa" This was the
comment of the school survey direct
Or Dr. H. T. Manuel Of Western State
college, after his visit TO the county
on survey work last week.
"The study has already reached the
point where l can begin to see the
light" he continued. "Of course, 1t
would be foolish to risk any state
ment of findings until the study is
completed. But I begin to see the
outlines Of a great educational system
for the area being surveyed"
There are several hopeful elements
in the situation with which one can
not fail to be impressed. First OF all
perhaps should be mentioned the high
quality of the citizenship; and really
that is the big thing that puts a big
movement across. I have met moth
ing but cooperation, honesty, earnest
ness, and unselhshness among the
members of the respective boards, the
editors, county officials, teachers all
with whom l have had the pleasure
OF working. All concerned seem to
be bent on finding out the truth and
committing themselves to It unseltish-
ly. There is every reason to believe
that this community will be excep-
tionally free from the unfortunate fac
tional fights that often retard COM
munity progress.
I'm the second place, the school
situation itself is hopeful There are
needs. to be sure, outstanding needs,
crying needs; but in a large measure
way can be found to meet them. a
program can be mapped out that will
result in unquestioned progress.
"The thing that We shall have to
keep in mind-all OF us-is that we
are working for the welfare Of the
children OF the whole community. II
we forget that We are going to get on
the wrong track right away. II any
one can make the rounds OF the
schools as l did and not be deeply
moved, his heart must be made OF
iron. The thought OF these children
will melt our hearts and purposes into
one, II anything will"
DR.. Manuel has been very busy for
the last week assembling data and in
formation for publication. He hopes
to have the survey ready for the press
by Christmas.

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY
IS OUR BEST HOPE NOW

In recent issue OF the Sugar Beet
Journal, a monthly magazine publish
ed In the interest OF the sugar beet
industry. Stephen II. Love, president
OF the U. S. Sugar Manufacturing
company. with headquarters at Wash.
ington, ID. C., states some plain facts
on the tariff question as 1t affects the
price OF sugar.
Companies located along the sea
board. who are refining foreign sugar,
obtained from countries where cost
OF production is much less than in the
U. s. have made repeated attacks on
the Sugar Beet Industry.
Since growers and manufacturers
work comparatively, the present tariff
schedule OF s1.76 per cwt., has pro
teoted the growers, securing them a
fair price for their product The pres.
ent sugar tariff bears favorable com
parison with that OF any other in our
hemisphere or with any OF the larger
foreign countries. We exact the low
est duty OF any civilized country. and
we have the best money. Cuba is
anxious to market the most OF her
product here.
In 1920, when the demand for beet
sugar exceeded the supply and sugar
reached n price beyond the buying
power OF the average American home,
It was not caused by high tariff. The
opportune moment for price initiation
came and as n result It cost our ma
tion the eNorbitant sum of $1,000, 000,.
600 which is greater than the total OF
sugar-tariff at sl.76 per cwt for a
decade.
The sugar beet industry has proven
potent factor for good in the Delta
section as well as in other localities,
and farmers are signing up increased
acreage for 1924.
The Western Colorado Beet Growers
offers 81 each for short stories written
lies, giving facts and figures relative
to the beet growing industry
Some OF the suggestions to be fol.
lowed are; Number OF acres in farm:
crops raised and acreage OF each
number of dairy cows and hogs; beot
acreage and tons per acre. the cost OF
raising, II possible; any other items
that might be OF interest TO beet
growers and a comparison with other
farm products. Stories are to be sent
in during November. December and
January.
