CLUB MUST
MAKE ANOTHER START

What are the hackers of the Ma

ing organization, going to do, to re-
gain favor with the boxing frater-
nifty of this section?
This is the question of foremost
Importance at the present time as a
result of the farce" in the form of
. boxing show, presented in the New
Brunswick avenue Auditorium, on
Thursday night. Followers of sport
in n section of the world, cannot
be fooled when hard earned money,
and the better part of the fight fans
in this vicinity work hard for their
money, is spent for entertainment,
entertainment must be furnished.
1t would not be overstepping our
authority in saying that the National
Sport Club promoters received good
"breaks' in their first five shows,
for which the Auditorium, on New
Brunswick avenue, was packed on
four occasions. The fans received
their fill of fighting and went away
satisfied, and as long as everyone is
satisfied, there is no need to com
plain.
Thursday nights show was the
limit, however, and the promoters
received their bad break" in bhz-
gard fashion. Everyone was any
thing but satisfied and now the local
organization must start all over

FIVE ADDED FOR RETURN GO HERE TONIC
VARSITY SQUAD
PLAY GOOD BALL
Fast VoIIey Ball Games Last
Night Show Team is
improving Greatly

Displaying for the first time this
year a brand of volley ball which
would be hard to neat anywhere the
Y. NJ. C. A. varsity squad of thirteen
players engaged in a series of prac-
tice games between themselves last
J night. The practice consumed al
most two hours but the time spent
was the most profitable the team has
experienced this year.. Both teams
played excellent ball, the lineups be-
ing shifted in every way imaginable
so that the strength of the various
combinations might be tested.
Playing with the first team dur
ing the various formations, which
changed each same, were Capt.
George Sharp, Derben Bartholomew,
Gene Parker, Joe Prantl, Austin
Hornsby, Francis Oliver, Matthew
Melko and Ellwood Johnson. The
| other team was composed of GAIA
Chizmadia, Doe Bedell, Herbert
Rankin, Sam Miller, John Janderup
and the spiker and passer of the first
team tina were necessarily left out
of the first team lineup. In this
way members of the first team took
turns playing against their own men
and the workout proved a success
in every way.
Although no announcement has
been made as yet by the volley ball
committee, consisting of Physical
Director L. j.. Keyes, N. Christian
Nielsen, Walter H. War; and Rev.
Wilbert Westcott, indications are
that eight men will be chosen to
play as the varsity at Greenwich,
Conn, on New Years day and these
eight men will likely be the eight
that made up the first team last
night.
Realizing the importance of win
ming the Greenwich tournament as
the championship of three states
New York, New Jersey and Connec-
ticut-is at stake, it Is improbable
that the local team will make the
trip without an extra spiker and
extra passer. In this way two men
can always be held in reserve for
use if a player goes bad and at the
same time it will give each man an
opportunity to rest n game.
The combination which played as
the first team last night was identl-
cal with the outfit which went to
Chicago and won fourth place in the
national championships, except hat
Prantl was last night added TO the
lineup. Only seven players made
the trip to the windy City" three
passers and four spikers making up
the team. This year an extra passer
as we'll as four ,spikers will be used
in every match.
The last practice prior to going to
Greenwich will be held on Friday
night of next week. The entire squad
is showing a fine spirit of coopera-
ton now with the idea of turning
out the team which will best repre-
sent the "Y." Those playing on the
second team who have not been
chosen for the first team have been
regular in coming out for practice
and have showed good sportsman
ship in playing whenever asked in
order that the best team might De
developed. With such support from
the other players this years varsity
should continue the good work start
ed last season.

ARE
GOING GREAT
Have Won Three out of Four
Games so far This
Campaign

Miss Mabel King, manager of the
Roosevelt Center Girls team of Car
teret, is confident that her team will
enjoy an even better season this
campaign than was enjoyed last
winter. To date the borough girls
have won three out of four contests.
In the opening engagement of the
season the Centers downed the colors
of the Manhattan Lassies in Carteret
and then followed by trimming the
same team on their New York court.
The Blue Bells, a colored team of
New York, nosed out the Centers in
the preliminary tilt to the Speedway
Renaissance contest in New York
last Saturday night. The visitors
were given quite a deal on fouls in
this encounter, and to add to their
troubles Miss Kings players lost
their uniforms.
At Carteret on Thursday night the
Inwood Girls, one of the strongest
teams in the metropolitan district,
suffered a setback at the hands of
the Centers. This was a clean-cut
victory, only one of the visiting
players scoring.
The Blue Bells will play at Car
teret in the near future, and a re-
turn game will be played with the
Inwoods at Madison Square Garden
soon.
The Misses Shectman, Schwartz.
Bennett, Miller and Robertson are
the members of the Center squad.

again.
First of all, with a branch OF
snort at stake in a county, as IT IS
TODAY. a matchmaker should go the
limit in making an investigation pc
fore agreeing to put on a boxer in
one of the feature contests for a
friend. frankie Polo, who fought
Vic Woody, in one of the six round
ers. on Thursday night, was a friend
of someone and that is the only rea-
son he fought on the card.
Boxers who made a record in the
past, cannot get by here unless they
deliver the goods, so that the Ma.
tional matchmaker must have his
lesson as a result of the George
"Young" Erne incident. Jack Me-
Farland, of Elizabeth, has fought
many good battles in this county, but
his showing on Thursday night has
taken his reputation as far as this
section is concerned. He must also
start over again.
Present records, method of train
ing, etc.. should be Investigated by
the matchmaker in booking all flu
ture bouts. until the National Club
is once again on a firm footing. II
boxers in feature contests weigh in
at 8 o'clock as is the custom in other
cities, the matchmaker will have
the opportunity of getting good men,
providing all contestants are not in
the shape agreed to.

Contest With MetuChen Soc.
GER Club on Raritan Copper
Works Field

On the Copper Works field here
tomorrow afternoon the Metuchen
Soccer Club will play the fast Bloom
field club in what is expected to be
a hard fought tussle. The game will
start about 1880 o'clock.
AT present the Bloomfield team is
holding first place in the East Jer-
sey Soccer League, while the Me-
tuchen club is banked in fourth
position. These two teams are heat
ed rivals and tomorrow's encounter
will be a battle either to continue
Metuchen's advance toward the top
or to add TO the Bloomfield combi-
nations winning record.
In the contest tomorrow Metucl
will use the regular lineup,
Frantic. Chapman, j. Wa
Brooks, Buchanan, Dawson, {
Dodds, Parkinson, Haekett and
Wallace. With this outfit the
tuchen management expects to brine
up their present standing a few
points tomorrow, and thereby hold
their opponents to their slight lead
over their nearest competitor.
The Bloomfield team, however, is
reported as having a strong eleven,
having racked up quite a number of
wins to date this season, so that
many soccer fans are of the opinion
that the brainy borough team will
have to do some tall stepping in
order to overcome their opponents.
On Christmas day the Metuchen
team will travel to Plainfield where
they will play another league game
against the representatives of hat
place.

ARLAND
IS REPLACED
Danny CoonIy, of Trenton.
Fights in Feature 90
Last Night

Jack Mcfarland did not fight In
Elizabeth last night, Danny Cooney,
of Trenton, substituting for him
against "Gats" Gargano of Staten
Islend. Cooney easily o from
Gargano. putting UP one of the best
bouts ever witnessed in Betsytown.
The a%ll-around work of the Capital
City boy was sensational.
1t is said that the occurrence
here on Thursday night when Nc
Farland and Sailor Jack Richie
were ordered from the ring in the
second round of the feature event,
has resulted in McFar1and's check
for this bout going to charity. He
will fight any opponent for Moth
ing at the next National show, and
after this contest it will be the part
ing of the ways for Antilles and
Mcfarland, 1t Is understood.
The semi-final contest last night
was a slow affair, Larry Reagan win
ming from Sammy Green. Both of
these boxers are from Elizabeth and
the Keighry Head speed merchant
had the better of Green during the
entire eight rounds.
Antilles is interested In the E1iz-
abeth Club, the shows of this or
g%anization being staged at the Flora
theatre, and good crowds have been
out for the three. events to date.

Glen Falls, Elizabeth, and other
quintets. With these two men in the

star, and RUDE Gordon, teammate of
Davis and Willie Marion for a good
many years, except to have an inter-
esting time with Captain Thomas
and Handerhan. Gordon plays a
steady backfield game, while his
companion is recognized as one of
the greatest running guards in the
East today.
According to present plans, the
Amboys will line up the same as they
did last Saturday against the South
Philadelphia Hebrews, Captain
Thomas and HandeThan in the front
range positions, Eggers, at center,
and Hansen. Schwankert and Es-

OUR SAYS

OUR OUIDOORSMAN SAYS
When on a ducking trip, or any
hunting trip, never load your gun
until you reach the hunting grounds
and are ready to shoot. A loaded
gun in a boat or automobile is u
dangerous article. When hunting
any kind of game remember at all
times, except when pulling the trig-
ger, to have the safety on.
If you have been fishing your rod
hard this season give it the once
over before putting it away for the
winter. 1t might need some new
silk windings or a coat of two of
varnish, and now is the time to do 1t.
Don't wait until you want to use it
in the spring.
Game Refugs Bill
The game refuge public shooting
ground bill that is up again this year
for congressional action is backed
and supported by sportsmen in every
part of the country.
Hunters confronted with mo
shooting, no trespassing'' signs on
all sides are keenly aware of the
fact that the few remaining good
shooting grounds are rapidly passing
into the hands of private individuals
or of wealthy clubs. This is par
ticularly true along the seashore and
near lakes and rivers which are IA
vorite stopping places for ducks and
other migratory water fowl. Hardly
a spot on the Long Island or New
Jersey shore, for example, is not
preempted by private organizations.
The same is true IF most of the
marsh lands in New England and
in the west.
To remedy this in so far as is now
xAg.fhJ1 4. an. pr fhA nYinRinnl NM
poses of the Public Shooting
Grounds-Game Refuge Bill which
was defeated in the last session of
congress, but is expected to come
up at an early date. 1t is designed
to facilitate the purchase of ayaila-
Bile shooting grounds in order to
open them to the general public
to the "one-gallus'' hunter. A fed
eral license of a dollar is expected
to furnish sufficient revenue for the
maintenance of these grounds and at
the same time to yield funds for the
purchase of additional lands and for
the creation and maintenance of ad-
ditional game refugees.
John z. Burnham, head of the
American Game Protective Associa-
ton, says:
"The Federal law concerns itself
with only a part of the wild life
the part that has no permanent
abiding place in my state. The
other equally important part, local
lied game, must be similarly provid-
ed for. Does any one for a moment
think that when the Federal meas
ure becomes a law the various
states can fail to follow suit witt
similar action?
I'VE mention the prediction tina.
once the government sets example
all he states will begin providing
refugees and shooting grounds TO,
localized game on a scale never be
fore thought possible and that thu
free shooting which is one of TIN
most valuable national assets vii
be preserved to our country"
Write your congressman at once
Tell him you are interested in thii
measure and ask him to give it hi
support.

Good Ideas

George c. Warren, Jr., a member
of the New Jersey Fish and Game
Commission, in a recent address sug-
.gested that a possible solution of the
trespass nuisance that gives hunt
ers and fishermen so much trouble,
would be the raising of the license
fee to say SIS a year, the additional
fee to be used by the Fish and Game
Commission in leasing property for
the purpose of public hunting and
fishing grounds. Good idea. No
hunter or fisherman would begrudge
IS a year if it insured him a good
place to hunt or fish and a chance to
get his share of game.
He also said that he was in favor
of doing away with the present large
number of deputy game wardens
who are useless in most cases, and
appointing new men suggested by
the Conservation League and the
clubs throughout the state that are
affiliated with it.
