bLUECOATS To
PLAY WESTF|ELD
Look for Break in Losing
Streak in Game Tomorrow
Afternoon

Having failed to defeat Westheld
on the revolver range and having
lost four straight baseball games to
the diamond representatives of the
BetsytoWn department, Frank Sci
both's -bluecoat baseball tossers of
the local department have taken on
the Westtield police nine, and the
two teams win clash on the Union
county grounds tomorrow afternoon.
Anton Molly, veteran South AM
boy hurler, has occupied the mound
for the Amboys in all contests play
ed to date, and he should not have
been defeated in any of the games.
The four Elizabeth battles should
have been easy victories for the dia-
mond team of the local department.
Seiboth's charges won the first
game of its annual series with the
Elizabeth nine on the local field, and
then dropped a close decision on the
Betsytown grounds. Elizabeth won
the third game on the local diamond
and also the fourth battle or the
Union county grounds. The series
was scheduled the best out of five,
and the third consecutive victory
gave Manager Pete Buckley's nine
the championship. For the state p.
B. A. convention last week a special
game was arranged and Elizabeth
again COPIED the bacon.
The Westfield revolver team took
the scalp of the Amboys in a shoot
at Westfield and in another on the
new Convery place range. Tomor-
rows game will be started at about
2:30. and the Amboy team will line
up in regular fashion.

Completely outclassed, but in
weight only, the South Amboy High
School football eleven met their first
defeat on Saturday afternoon when
they lost to Lakewood High School
by a 24-0 score.
The South Amboy team went into
the game full of confidence in spite
of the weight of their opponents,
which was as much as fifteen pounds
to a man, but the strength of the
opposition was too great and no ad-
vance with the ball could be made.
The Monmouth county team ploWed
through the cross-river defense at
times, for great distances, While
their greatest gain was made by
successful forward passes.
Mason, of the Lakewood team,
who has held the all-state fullback
position for the last two years, was
the stan for the Lakewood team,
making two touchdowns, one in the
first and one in the third quarter,
while Apologize also starred. The
latter made two touchdowns. Others
who starred for the victorious eleven
were, Osborne, Hirsh and Kaufman.
For the South Amboy team, Geant
showed up well. He intercepted a
pretty forward pass, which If sue
cessful would have added another
six points to the Lakewood score,
and carried it back twenty yards. He
also led in the line plunging. James

Club quintet of Manager Faubl, in
the opening game of the season.. on
the Cortlandt street court last night.
After forty minutes of play. the
score was 25-22.
Throughout the first half. the
Saints led by a margin of two or
three points, and at half time the
tally was 1912 in favor of the WISH
tors. A squirt by the home club cut

EQUAL
TO FIGHT SOUTHERN
BOXER FOR POULSEN

A bout equally as good as the semi
final hummer ON last Tuesdays
opening card of the National Sport
| Club, has been given the semi final
position on the program arranged
for the second show to be exhibited
in the local Auditorium, a week
from tomorrow night.
Jack Mcfarland. of Elizabeth, won
on points from Tommy Marks, of
Long Branch, in the semi final go of
eight rounds on the initial card, and
Lew Seller, of Newark, who held
Mcfarland to a draw in a recent
bout at Newark, will take on Memo
Favor, a welterweight boxer former
ly of San Antonio, Texas and now re-
siding in Plainfield, at next Tues
days show. The Selzer-Favor bout
will also be scheduled for eight
rounds.
Middlesex county fans who saw
the whirlwind Observation-Disclosures 60,
have not yet stopped talking about
the bout put up by the two fighters.
Both men are wonderful battlers,
with the Betsytown lad the best to
look at, and fans from this section
will surely turn out strong to see in
action a man who fought a draw at
Newark in a feature bout with Nc
Farland.
Challenged Walker
Favor, introduced at the opening
show here, recently issued a chal-
lenge to Mickey Walker, the welter-
weight champion of the world. and
as the Betsytown champion who Is
somewhat hard up for opponents,
failed to accept the challenge, there
must be something to the former
Texan, that Jack Buyers boy does
not like.
The boxer making his home in the
Queen City, is under the manage
ment of Scotty Montieth, manager
of Johnny Dundee. Montieth has
had his new boxer in training at
Madison Square Garden and in the
near future, he will show at some of
the Metropolitan clubs. Favor has to
his credit a victory over Bobby
Green, the Western welterweight
who recently lost to Mickey Walker
via the technical knockout route. The
former Texan, is twenty years old
and an all-around athlete.
Matchmaker Poulsen has carded
the TIVE feature bouts for the second
show of the local boxing club. In
the eight round main event. Patsy
Nelson, of Newark, the junior light
weight champion of the state, will
exchange blows with Charley Ryder,
ofElizabeth and Staten Island. Both
of these men are well known in box
ing circles and eight rounds of hard
battling can be expected when the
two bays get onto the ring.
A good six rounder and three
tours will complete the card for the
second show. Boxing fans from
every section of the county, and
other cities in the state, turned out
for the first show and if the balance
of the card is as good as the two
feature contests, the crowd for the
next show should be larger.

The defensive center should play
out the line when he expects a for

stands about a yard and a half or
two yards back of his place In line,
acting as a sort of secondary defense
man. He is responsible for all plays
aimed at the ends of the line of
