FOUR FOUNDER
Two Fast CoIored Boys in One
Preliminary Contest for
Police Show

One of the most interesting bouts
on the Police Social Club boxing pro-
gram for the show to be presented
here a week from next Friday night
will be the battle between Charles
James of Elizabeth and Johnny
Holmes of New York City, two col
ored boys. This is one of the four
FOUNDERS.
The two lads + well matched and
should give the fans plenty of action
in the opinion of Matchmaker Frank
Seiboth. There will be three other
tours, a six and one eight, on the
boxing section of the program, and
in addition there will be the usual
entertainment.
In the feature bout on this card
Billy Murphy, of Staten Island, will
swap punches with Carl Morris, of
Carteret, in an eight round go. Muir
ply has been fighting in these parts
for a good many years and Morris
is adding bout after bout to his rec
ord.
There is unusual interest in the six
round semi-1nal Encounter, in which
two former European champions will
hold the stage. These ~ ttlers are
Oswald Schultz, former German
middleweight champion, and Tiger
Nelson, who held a similar title in
Denmark.
All six bouts on the card will be
full of action throughout. Tickets
have been placed on sale in various
places throughout the town.

WILL
Be CONTINUED
Maurer and Hungarians Are
to Battle on Maurer Field
Tomorrow

Pete Dametch will be figured on
greatly in tomorrow's contest to end
the series between the Maurer A. c..
baseball team and the Hungarian
Catholic Club nine of this city which
now stands two to one on the former
teams favor.
The five game series being played
for the last three weeks is to decide
the championship honors of North
Amboy, of which section these two
teams are the only real contenders.
The first game of the course was
won by the Hungarian ball tossers,
while the Maurer team, with the
superb pitching of Pete Dametch, a
no-hit game, took the second decade.
The third game was won by the
Maurer outfit after that team had
clouted the pill all about the dia-
mond.
Faltisco has done a big part of
the twirling for the Hungarian team
in the series, but it is expected that
the lot will fall to Johnson, the
s%outhpaw hurler, in the game to-
morrow. Johnson it is believed will
"change the luck" and the series
will be evened for another game.
No matter how long baseball
games have been played on the
Maurer lot, never before has there
been more interest conferred about
a contest as there is this one. Again
tomorrow one of the largest crowds
that ever witnessed a game there
is expected out. A capable official
will do the umpiring.

HARD CONTESTS
REEXPECTED
Games on Gridirons at Tot
tenviIIe and Pleasant Plains
Tomorrow Afternoon

Just which will be the most in
teresting game on Staten Island to-
morrow is hard to decide at this
time, but it is almost final that two
tough games will be played between
the Rossville Field Club and the
Beauvais Post, American Legion, at
the Aquehonga oval and the United
football team of Stapleton and the
Royals, of Pleasant Plains, at the
latter's field.
At Tottenville, the Legion team
will be picked from Brunskill,
"Greenie' La Forge. omundsen'
Hamilton, Liname, Thomson, Combs,
Ryan, Knott, Vol, Sher, Wood,
Jones, Moore, Pierson, Shol, Jensen,
Covell, Palmer, Deitz. Parker,

Rossville will line up with Pornell,
Pelzer, Damon, Henshaw, Peoppel,
Jiemmer, Houghton, Shout, En-
CERT, HUH, Borton, Grofe, Wengell
and Carroll.
The lineups of the United and
Royals teams have not been announ-
ced, but it is expected that their
strongest men will be used, as a
hard fought game is expected. Last
Sunday the Uniteds played a score
less tie with the American Legion,
at Tottenville.
On the other hand the Royals also
played a scoreless tie last weekend,
having tussled the Imperial pig
SINNERS, of Port Richmond to a
90 tally in a fierce battle. Both
games will be called about 8 o'clock
and big crowds are expected to be
out at the Tottenville and Pleasant
Plains ovals.

OUR SAYS

If you are out in the open on a
wet day and are down to your last
match and do not want to take a
chance of wasting it-cut WHISPERS
on il around the head and scratch
it on a freshly split pebble.
Your life is valuable and you in
sure it. Your gun is valuable-do
you insure it? With care and the
use of some good Nitro Powder Sol
ent your gun, whether it is worth
$50 and $500, will last for years.
The cost of such insurance is but a
few cents and some elbow grease
Quick Fire
The next time you are on a camp
ing or hunting trip, having gone by
automobile, and have trouble in OBJ
tanning fuel for your fire, try this:
Take some gasoline "a quart or
more) and saturate the ground
where you wish to build your fire.
With a match light the saturated
ground. This will throw off an in
tense heat for about a half hour-
long enough to boil your coffee at
least.
October Fishing
October days are wonderful days
for the angler. We believe it safe
to say that October Is the greatest

members Of the bass and pike fami-
lies. Such a statement is putting it
rather strongly to be sure, at least it
will seem SO to many early season
anglers, but We have yet to find a
man who has worked in~telligently
for October fish without finding an
October convert.
A cold or frosty night may make
good Shadows bass fishing in the
early fall because the shadows cool
quickly and the fish, hunting in them
by night, will stay we'll along into
the morning or even most of the day.
The cool water cannot sink and get
away from the area.
The fall cooling of the water natu-
rally puts pep into the fish but they
are active as we'll because they are
now to put on weight for the winters
more or less fasting.
A slow active lure is a winner
for early fall fishing.
Surf Fishing
The surf-fishing season is draw
ing to a close but those who are
fortunate enough to be able to spend
their week ends on the beach, are
still able to land a few, The fish
are on their way South or wher-
yer they go for the winter, and the
best fishing now is at Seaside Park
and Barnegat Inlet and other points
further south.
The fish were in at Seaside Park
last Sunday morning and several of
our local anglers who were on the
spot got some nice ones including
blues, stripers, weakfish and floun-
ders.
From now on the surf angler will
obtain best results by using mullet
for bait; run hook through mullet's
mouth out through gill and then pull
hook through body about half an
inch from the tail. Cut belly out
of mullet-they are an oily fish.
This will allow the oil to immerse
and will attract the blues and strip
ers for some distance about.
A Great Game Shot
The late Lord Ripon was recog-
nized in his day as undoubtedly the
finest game shot in England or per-
haps in the world.
Reckoning from his boyhood till
about ten years ago, Lord Ripon put
it on record that he had shot over

OLD OPPONENTS
ARE To CLASH
Carteret and Staten Island
Gridiron Teams in Action
at Borough

Carteret football fans will turn
out in large numbers tomorrow af-
ternoon to witness the engagement
between the Roosevelt Football Club
and the Moonlights of Staten Island
on Brady's Oval in the borough.
Last fall these two teams met in a
contest which was interesting from
start to finish, the borough players
under the management of II. Gerke
carrying off the victory. Only one
point, however, separated the two
teams at the conclusion of hostilities.
and therefore tomorrow's engage
ment should be a hummer.
The Roosevelt team took the
measure of the crack Lorraines of
Jersey City on Brady's Oval last Sun
day to the tune OF a 80 score. This
contest was hard fought throughout
and there is every indication that the
Hudson county team will be given
another booking before the season is
ended.
Gerke's men engaged the "best
combination in the state" the
Orange A. A. eleven, two Sundays
ago and although the crack state
champion team carried off honors,
the boroughites made a good Show
ing. The Orange team of today is
believed to be the greatest profess
sional outfit ever organized in this
state.
Tomorrow's contest will be started
at the regular time.

cradle work in view, in his new posi-
ton that of boxing referee.

in satisfactory fashion, and he also
made a creditable showing in hand
ling the bouts put on by the local
