On 10 ChIcago.8
That will be the slogan OF ali local
voiley ball enthusiasts from now un-
til early next month when the Y. NJ.
c. a. team, champions OF the state,
leave for the Windy City" there to
compete in the International Tour
nament TO decide tie champions Of
the United States and Canada.
A meeting was held in the Y. NJ.
&c. A. last night for the purpose IF
launching q drive for $500 TO de-
fray the travelling expenses of the

scription blanks were distributed

NEEDED TO HAVE
AMBOY REPRESENTED
IN CHICAGO TOURNEY

SPoRTs-TAEE 2 $500 NEEDED
This trip of the voIley ball team
TO Chicago will be more than a
sporting event. II will be the means
of advertising this city throughout
the country as an enterprisine mu-
nicipaiity willing to back a represent
tative team in the tournament--the
largest of its kind ever held-with
the chances OF victory very good. A
victory for the Perth Amboy team
would mean much for the city in the
way Of advertising its pacemaking
qualities in getting behind the play
ers and making possible their en-
trance into the tourney by supply
ing the necessary travelling ex-.
penses.
The local volIey bail team has
never had it's expenses paid during
tn many out of town trips it has
made, including a recent invasion OF
New Haven, Conn. Teams In the
past have also made trips to points
as far away as Greenwich, Conn.
The players have always been will
ing to pay their w expenses, as
they have played purely for the sport
and not for any financial gain. The
llAA a AiCRSA fCG&ANZA any &OAAAE
pensation for games played.
Members of the team did not feel
however that they could pay the full
amount Of the expenses which would
be incurred in a trip TO Chicago. The
players. under the present plan, will
pay for hotel, meals, amusement and
other incidental expenses while al
| Chicago, the money now being raised
being merely to pay the actual trav-
cling expenses of the team.
Having been victorious in thirty
out Of thirty-ftve games played this
year-exclusive of games played
with the Perth Amboy older mems
state champions, which resulted in
victories for the varsity-and hay
ing lost but one match put OF twelve,
the local team has felt that it is de-
! serving of the chance to take part in
the championships at Chicago on
May II and Il.
The response from the public in
general-not alone from volley bali
players-has resulted IN the team
feeling assured that the Necessary
funds will be forthcoming. The Of
fetal entry OF Perth Ampoy into the
tournament will be made this week.
In the meantime the varsity Will
continue its practice games. Satux-
day night it will again play another
local team In a practice ma.<i7> OF
five games, commencing at 8 o'clocN,
Manager n. Christian Nielsen is ges-
! ting together the team which WI.

up event.
Boxing in the Palace Hall days
was drawing well for the size Of the
hall but then an attempt to run the
game on a big scale in the auditor
ium caused a setback. The oause Of
this setback was the attempt to work
with numerous suggestions and as a
result a headliner va matched with
a weak opponent in the main bout.
Followers of the boxing game in
this section seek action and it is
possible to book the preliminary and
semi-final contests from talent In
this vicinity, and still live up to the
request OF the fans. Two good men
could be matched for the final con-
test.
The plans of the Center Athletic
Club for the next boxing season have
not been decided on. It is probable,
however, that the shows of this Or
ganization will be run in the Lyceum
auditorium at the corner of Fayette
and Mechanic streets if the Holy
Name Society of st. Mary's church
decides to continue running boxing
shows.
