BEAT AT
! OWN GAME

An American team was recruited
hurriedly and equipped and dispatch
cd to Lyons, France. To the surprise
Of even most of the Americans. The
Swiss were defeated at their own
brand OF work.
That performance was repeated
again last year at Milan. despite every
conceivable handicap in transporting
American rifles and ammunition from
Cherbourg to coblenz and thence to
Milan.
The Palma trophy. awarded first in
1876 and won then by the United
States, really perpetuates the matches
between Ireland and America. Yank
teams won II again in 1877 and re.
tanned II until 1901.
Great Britain and Canada each had
II for while. 1t came back TO this
country in 1913.
Many standing records probably
viii be shattered here In September.
Since the war. the rifle has gained
thousands OF new friends.
And the popularity of the sport
seems TO be increasing as the days
roll by.

GEORGES CARPENTER and Joe

The Englishman said he couldn't
fight on July 10. the date first set
for the contest. Carpenter then ask

Then Carpenter went to doctor
and had his hands examined.
Carpenters physicians said HIS
hands were in worse condition than

Beckett's physician contended his

Two Big Attractions
Cdrded For LOcaE Court

Two extraordinarily rare dishes,
a la basketball, will be served to
basketball fans of this vicinity in
quick succession at the local Audi
forum court by the Perth Amboy
five management, who after going
over the basketball bill-of-fare, have
ordered up contests with two quin-
tets claiming championships that are
recognized by basketball followers
throughout the east.
The Commonwealth Big Five, of
the Harlem section of New York
City, claimants of the colored cham
pionship of the east will appear on
the local pinewood court this Sat-
urday night in the play-off of three
game series, each team having an
nexed one victory at the expense of
the other. A victory for the Perth
Amboy Five will give them undis-
puted supremacy over all the other
colored aggregations of the east.
On the following Saturday night,
December Is, this city will witness
the initial performance of the re-
nown South Philadelphia Hebrew
Association in this vicinity. these
dribblers being the undisputed jew
ish champions of the country for the
past few years besides having ean-
nexed the championship of Philadel-
phia the last two seasons. The

champs is known, are It the present
time in second place in the Phila-

femely well and have every expec-
Aation of winning the championship
for the third successive year. An
idea of the actual strength of the

certained when it is known that the
players performing upon the clubs
of this league are former players
of the old Eastern League, Western
