a team by this method. The Mer-
chants maintain they were badly off
form last week when the Nationals
trimmed them and consequently Will
prove it tonight by winning from
the Professionals.
If the Professional-Mere con-
test proves to be a ''humdinger" it
is difficult to prophesy the outcome
of the National-Bankers match. The
latter combination has not won yet,
but its defeats were by such close
margins that victory was within
easy grasp. The Bankers have a
strong team capable of extending
the Nationals and tit for tat games
are looked for.
The Lead Works will endeavor TO
break into the winning column in
their games against the champion
Bakelite team. With Chizmadia
working in good form the lead work
ers should give their opponents some
real opposition.
The last match OF the night will
bring together two teams which are
about evenly matched. the Press
team and the Outlaws. The former
outfit is now tie with the Profess
sionals for the league lead, neither
having lost match. The Outlaws
have a "50-50" standing, but figure
on pulling down the Press men to
their own level tonight.

CHigh School Correspondent

Manager Howard Dieker yesterday
afternoon dispatched a letter ad-
dressed to Coach Ernest Blood of
the Passaic high school basketball
team. According to the statement
issued by the manager the missile
challenged the schoolboy champions
to home and home series.
In case the champions accept the
def the game to be played in this
city would be staged in the local
Auditorium while the home Passaic
game would be I'D at the Paterson
arnory. The halls on both occasions
would be packed to capacity.
The upstate team has won 115
straight in four years while CrimsC n
and White has lost to but one high
school team in two years. The State
streeters have won fourteen straight
this season and are still going.
Should the two teams come together
there is no doubt that the locals will
give the champions furious strug-
gle and 1t would not be surprising in
the least TO see the Amboyans vic
torious. Great fame awaits the team
which conquers Passaic. In the last
few games the state champions have
been handicapped on account Of the
injury TO Captain Knothe and the ill
ness of Dewitt Keasler. Besides
these two extraordinary players the
rest of the team shapes up nothing
out of the ordinary.
In the state tourney the Passaics
have defeated Montclair and West
Orange, two easy teams, who extend
ed the champs to the utmost. To-
morrow night at the Jersey City
armory the Red and Blue team
hooks up with Orange, better known
as the Golden Tornadoes."
For some unknown reason the
locals did not enter the state tourna-
ment. This, however, does not de-
tract from the strength of the locals.
So far this season the Amboyans
have not been extended to any great
extent but this is not the fault of
the management. Asbury Park and
Neptune were challenged and re-
fused to answer. Battin high also
refused to consider Amboy. Rela-
tions were broken by Coach Fftzpat-
rick on behr If Of South River while
New Brunswick was not willing TO
play here. wanting only to play at
their home court. There is q possi-
bility that Amboy may play one OF
the county teams for the champion
ship Of the county before the season

STAR MAT CONTESTS
IN AUDI. DRUM HALL
BEFORE FAIR CROWD

Three exciting wrestling bouts Of
first class order were witnessed at
the local auditorium by a fair crowd
Of mat fans last night. This was
the first wrestling show at the local
auditorium in a number of years
and the manner in which Stuart
Robson Of New York City intends to
promote the game should insure its
success.
In the feature bout OF the night,
Nat Pendleton, hero OF the Ameri-
can Olympic team at Antwerp, Bel
GUM, in 1920, succeeded In scoring
a pin-fall at the expense of Paul
E1insky, the Russian Wolf, after for
ty-four minutes and fifteen seconds
of wrestling. The fall was obtain
ed through the use of half nelson
and clutch hold, the former amateur
heavyweight champion having just
broken a hold of his opponent.
Finsky weighed in at POI pounds
and his opponent was scaled at 1873.
The two heavy men took things easy
at the start, first one man trying
a hold on his opponent and then
the other would take the offensive.
Various holds were tried by the two
men during the battle of nearly an
hour, the head lock, scissors, half
nelson and others. Pendleton sue
ceeded several times in breaking
what appeared TO be final offens-
i've by his opponent through the ap-
plication of the head lock. Just be-
fore the final fall was gained, PEN
dleton got away from his opponent
who had gained this hold and ap-
peared to be on the point of victory.

LOCAL ''Y'' TEAM
At BROOKLYN
VoIIey Ball Team Meets Ger
mantoWn Tomorrow Night
Play Brooklyn Also

The Perth Anboy Y. NJ. c. A.
varsity volley ball team will tomor-
row night take another whack at the
crack Germantown team when these
two combinations clash during the
tournament which will be conducted
at Brooklyn Central Y. NJ, C.. A. This
will be the second time this year and
the fourth time in their history that
Amboy has gone up against the best
team in the country. The initial con-
test with Germantown this year was
on New Years Day in the local gym.
Amboy did not win game, nor has
1t ever won a game from German
town who hold a record of 125 con-
secutive victories in games played.
Since the first of the year, how
ever, the Amboy team has improved
greatly. Its match with Germantown
on New Years marked its first ap-
pearance on the court this season.
Lack of teamwork was evident on
the part of Amboy. During the last
few weeks the local team has cap
tured the New jersey state cham
pionship and two weeks ago it went
to New Haven where it defeated
every one of the crack Connecticut
and New York teams entered, in
cluding Brooklyn Central which was
undefeated until that time. New
Haven, champions of Connecticut,
was easily disposed of by Amboy in
two straight games.
A number of local volley ball root
ers are going to witness the games
at Brooklyn tomorrow nigh Re-
ports of the splendid showing made
by the team at New Haven have re-
suited in increased interest being
shown in the team and its hackers
are anxious to ses it match its
strength against Germantown.
The showing Amboy makes against
Germantown tomorrow night will
have lot to do with the possibili-
ties of the local combination jour
neying to Chicago in May to repre-
sent New Jersey in the national
championships. Realizing the i'm
portance of winning, or at least fore
ing the Pennsylvania men to the
limit. the local combination can be
expected to play their hardest tomor-
row night.

DONALD MARTIN
MADE CAPTAIN
Chosen Yesterday as Field
Leader of High School
1924 Eleven
H. S. CORRESPONDENT

Donald Martin, star high school
athlete, was yesterday elected cap
tain of the Perth Amboy High School
football team for next season. Mar
tin is one of the most popular ath-
let1c men ever produced at the Grim
son and White institution. At pres
ent he is performing on the cham
pionship basketball outfit.
Fighting DON" as he is familiar
ly known, was pursued by old man
Jinks last year and was unable TO
show much of his gridiron class. At
the beginning of last year he was
ineligible to play but performed in
the last game Of the year against
North Plainfeld. In this clash he
showed what he was made of as he
ripped off gain after gain. AIisplays
on the part of his own teammates
lost that game. In the Junior-Sen-
ior struggle for supremacy he was
badly injured and it was feared that
he would not pull through. but his
wonderful gameness carried him
through a dangerous situation. Next
year he may be in line for all-state
honors.
When a freshman, Martin made
the varsity basketball squad and has
been on same ever since and last
year he played his first year of var
sity baseball and showed up well
He is one OF the reasons for the sue
cess of the present basketball team
for he shapes up as the most formid-
able guard to ever turn out here.
All in all, the choice of Martin
as pilot is a wise one. IF he makes
the track team for which he will
try ne will be the first Amboy High
four-letter man in years.
