Of the Amboy tossers were tired
from the activities in their home
town on Thursday night and yes
terday morning, but they played
sensational ball throughout.

WINNER
Of BIC BATTLE
Awarded Decision at End oil
Fifteen Round Contest
Last Night

Harry Greb, of Pittsburgh. was
awarded the decision at the end of
his fifteen round contest with
Johnny Wilson at the Polo Grounds
last night. AS the result of this
victory, the Smoke City boxer is
now the middleweight champion of
the world.
The Pittsburgh fighter was the
master throughout, his speed was
too great for the Italian. Wilson
had the better OF his opponent in
four of the fifteen rounds, the first
and the last three. The former
champion was marvellous in the last
three rounds, but the crowd num-
bering about 5000 wondered WHY
he waited so late to try and over
come Greb's lead.
The challenger was careful, easy
going and confident. He was at his
best when the champion changed
from body to head attacks. Several
times the challenger was scored for
holding by Referee O'Sullivan.
From the seventh round on Will
son suffered from a damaged left eye
and in the ninth round, the chal-
lenger opened a cut under the mem
Der. The eye was almost closed
when Wilson came out for the
tenth round. In the last three
rounds Wilson handed his opponent
a real body lacing.
There were several other good
bouts on the program last night.

BOROUGH PLANS
FOR FOOTBALL
Carteret Expects to Make
Real Showing or Gridiron
this Fall

Although baseball is still the talk
in Carteret owing to the important
contest with the Amboys tomorrow,
football will be the reigning sport
in the borough this fall. This is seen
from the announcement made by
Manager Herman Gerke that his
eleven will hold forth again this
season. Many wildly remember the
observation-disclosures struggle of
last year which went to the first
named team by a small score. A
practice session of the gridiron was
held early this week at Brady's oval
and from the form shown by the fif-
teen men present this county will
boast of at least one good grid ma
chine.
Among those at the field were
Walker, Hagan, Messick, Demish,
Sullivan, Bodnar, Green, Jacob
owitz and Harvey. Several more
new men will be added to the roster
and their identity will be made
known in the near future. Harvey
played with the Clemson College
eleven last season and was on the
team which held the Center College
praying Colonels," to two touch
downs. Elmer Brown OF Carteret is
the coach of the team and under his
able tutelage a banner season is ex-
pected.
Manager Gerke is now arranging
his schedule and some of the lead
ing teams are now being placed on
the playing list for the season. IT
Is not known whether they will play
1T home.

When fishing from a pier or large
boat and using comparatively light
tackle, double your line for the first
twenty-five or thirty feet. This will
prevent loss of rigs and also help
you in landing the big fellow safely.
Gut leaders should be kept in a
dark place. Test thoroughly before
using. Soak them in water before
attaching them to your line. When
dry gut leaders are brittle, they
are liable to crack or break when

Camping
A great many peope do not go on
camping trips because of their e
of thunder storms, but If n is care
full there Is little danger and the
chance of being struck by lightning
is very slight. Of course, there are
some things to be avoided. During
a storm do not stand under a tree or
in a barn full of green hay; do not
stand in drafts or out in the middle
! of fields or beaches. A thunder
storm is something Of a bluff and
the danger of being struck by light
ming Is out of all proportion to the
{ noise and glare. Regarding this
matter someone has said:
IF the people who worry about
thunder storms we're to stop doing
so and devote the energy thus re-
leased to (a) not rocking the boat,
! Obj not pointing loaded or unloaded
firearms at any living creature, (c)
not driving too rapidly or on the
wrong side of the road, Cd not
drinking any bootleg beverage UNI
til they have had it examined by a
competent chemist, our summer va
cation period would yield far fewer
casualties"
Do not have a dirty camp. 1t
| should be as clean as your home.
Copy after the boy scouts. Crumbs
dropped on the ground don't show
like they do on the floor. but flies
and insects find them. Destroy all
refuse from the table in the fire.
Gather up papers, tin cans, boxes.
etc. Don't pollute the woods and
streams.

each member have a certain amount
of work allotted to him and every
