BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL l.

Matchmaker Poulsen, of the Ma
tional Sport Club, is confident that
Friday nights boxing show will be
the best ever presented in this sec
ton of New Jersey.
One of the biggest surprises of
the present soccer season, was Gre
ated at the Raritan Copper Works
field, Sunday afternoon, when the
Metuchen representative team held
the strong Freehold team to a %
tie.
Thursday night basketball will be
started here tomorrow night and
the local Y. NJ. II. A. will endeavor
to entertain crowds similar to those
of years ago.
Ed Coughlin, Carteret boxing
promoter, has not decided as yet
whether he will run his next boxing
show a week from this Friday night.
The PAGERS and Madisons are
booked to clash in the local Elks'
81 team bowling league tonight. The
match will be rolled on the club
house alleys.
Track and water sports are ex-
pected to be started a. the local Y.
NJ. c. A. in the near future. The
association is RAINING for a big sea-
son in these branches of sport.
Due to the fact that Yves Hansen
and Bill Flynn have signed with the
Tottenville representative eleven, it
is not likely that the local eleven will
be seen in action this fall.
