welt Centers of Carteret at Belmont

tory over the state champions of last

al wins over the borough representa-
tive quintet of last season but the
balance of power has changed
through the acquisition this season
of the Misses Brennan and Bern
hardt by Miss Kings forces.
A victory for the Centers tomor-
row night will practically cinch the
state female title for the Carteret
representatives, as the borough team
has met all of the leading combina-
kions In the stG.te and have suffered
only n defeat. This victory is
credited to the Independent team Of
south Amboy and the Centers also
heat this combine.
y The third game Of the Center
Rndependent series was scheduled for
che Auditorium court In this city on
"wednesday, but was called off by the
independents due to the illness OF

George CLANCY of Baltimore has
a left arm. Lots of folks do. But
Georges left arm is one of the best
left arms in the business-any bust

A six-inch movement of that left

George CLANCY is a fighter. A
lightweight resurrected from the
pugilistic scrap heap by that clever
little handler, Sammy Harris of Bal

CLANCY started life as a bantam

the featherweight class and tackled
Johnny Kilbane OF Cleveland. He
was out in a jiffy.
CLANCY had plenty of money then
