CITY vOLLEY
BALL MATCHES
FRIDAY NIGHT
Four Interesting Contests
Scheduled - Look for
Changes in Standing
TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED
Professionals Merchants;
Bankers Nationals. Lead
Bakelite; Press Outlaws
TEAMS EVENLY MATCHED

-Four more matches will be played
in the City Volley Ball League at the
Y. M. G. A. Friday night, commenc-
ing at o'clock. At the present time
the Press team and Professionals are
tie for first, both having won two
matches and lost none. There are
four teams tie for the next position,
all of which have won one and lost
one match. These teams are the
Merchants, Outlaws, Bakelite and
Nationals. In tie for last place are
the Bankers and Lead Works, both
of which have lost two matches and
won none.
In the first match Friday night the
Merchants and Professionals clash.
Although the Merchants lost out to
the Nationals last week, this combi-
nation of Capt. Herbert Rankin is
looked upon as one of the strongest
in the league and it is expected to
make things interesting for Capt.
Wilbert Westcott's Professionals. The
second match, scheduled for 1880,
Will bring together the Bankers and
Nationals. The former team has been
running In hard luck thus far but it
has the material for a championship
team and turn for the better is
now looked for. The Nationals, the
combination of "Dtck" Oliver which
won fame for itself last year by win
ming many of it's games with only
four or five men in the lineup, will
have no easy job in disposing of Sam
Miller's bankers.
The Bakelite team, champions of
last years league, will be piloted by
Capt. Schrimpe against Capt.
Ernst's Lead Works outfit. The
Lead Works sextette gave the Press
team a scare in one game last week,
and as the Press defeated the Bake
lite this year, it would seem that
the Lead Works would be able to
force the Bakelite outfit to play hard
to win. This game will go on at
o'clock.
The last attraction of the night
will bring together Austin Hornsby's
"Outlaw" combination and Capt. Ell
Johnson's Press outfit, this match
being scheduled for $3.50. The games
between these two teams should be
nip and tuck as the two combina-
tions appear to be about on a par.
Additional interest is being shown
in this week as the schedule pro-
crosses by both the players and the
audience, the latter growing in size
from week to week. Admission is
free and the public, both men and
women, is invited to watch the
games.

Humanes and Garfiefds Roll
at Argonne-AIso Good
wills and U. c.

The Garfield and Humane fire
company bowling teams will clash on
Alleys / and at the Argonne Hotel,
Hobart street, in a firemen's league
match tonight. The U. c. Club and
the Goodwill Outlaw teams will clash
on Alleys and tonight.
Due to misunderstanding the
first two league matches scheduled
for this week have been put IF. The
Eagles and McClellans were carded
for Monday night but this set was
put off to allow the Projections and
Lincolns to bowl games scheduled
for last night, on account of the
Hooks having a big meeting last
night.
The McClellans, it is said, were
notified regarding the change but the
Eagles were not, SO there was )
match either night Due to the fact
that there was meeting the Hooks
and .Lincolns could not get together
on Monday night in accordance with
the change, and an agreement was
reached between the Eagles and Nc
Clellans not to stage their match last
night.
Some night next week the two
matches will be rolled off. There is
great interest in the Goodwill and
U. c. match on the and 4 alleys to-
night, and a big delegation of follow
ers of the two teams are expected
out.

~" TEAM READY
FOR BIC GAMES
Many Rooters Will Watch
Games at Brooklyn With
Germantown and Central

The Perth Anboy Y.M.C.A. volley
ball team which goes to Brooklyn on
Saturday to compete in a tourna-
ment with the crack Germantown,
Pa, and Brooklyn Central teams at
the court fthe latter team, will be
accompanied by large number of
rooters according to present indica-
tions.
The phenomenal showing at New
Haven, Conn, two weeks ago when
the Amboy team won eight straight
games from all teams entered in the
tournament has resulted in renew
ed interest being taken in the team s
work by local volley ball enthusiasts.
The Amboy team has hopes of be-
ing able to represent this city at the
national championships to be held
in Chicago in May, but much will de-
pend upon the showing they make
against Germantown Saturday nigh
If the brand of ball played by Am
boy is such as to show that the To-
cal team will have a good chance
of winning the national title. there
is a possibility that the funds nee
essary to defray the expenses of the
trip for the team will be forthcom-
ing from those who wish to see the
local ''Y" represented at the big
Chicago games.
Realizing that their chances of go
ing to Chicago depend upon the
showing they make against German
town on Saturday night, the Amboy
players can be counted on to play
their hardest.
There will be supper at o'clock
in the Brooklyn Central for the Wis
iting volley ball players and their
own men, the tournament being
scheduled for S:15. The team which
will represent Amboy at Brooklyn
on Saturday night will consist of
