Due for Tonight

Dan Dwyer and his Mcclellan
Engine Company bowlers expect to
put themselves in a position tonight
when they roll the Humane bowlers

and nary a defeat. The McClellans
are second with six victories in nine
starts, and the Garfields, Projections,
Libertys, Washingtons, Humanes
and Eagles follow in the ride
named.
The McClellans may receive tough
opposition from the Humanes to-
night, but the State streeters expect
to win three straight in this set and

them a game and a half behind the
Lincolns. Tomorrow night the Lin
coins roll the Projections, and the

W|NANOTHER

In a lively contest played or the
CortIandt street court last night the
Lightning basketball team of South
Amboy defeated the Hungarian
Catholic Club of this city by a 1920
core.
The game was probably the most
interesting ever played on the local
court, both teams playing splendid
defensive ball and at nc time during
the entire contest was the lead of
either team over three points. The
first half ended with the tally read
ing 1912 in favor of the visiting
team.
Eppinger and Barley featured for
the cross-river outfit, while Grieve
and Winkler did the starring for the
Hungarians. At n stage during
the second half the local quintet
looked like the probable winners of
the contest, as they scored two field
goals in succession. This was not to
be, however, as the South Amboy
team quickly covered themselves
and, with their splendid offensive
work, which was broken up only by
the many fouls committed by the
Cortlandt street outfit. succeeded in
taking the lead and hanging on TO
the long end until the final whistle.
This makes two out of three for
the Lightnings, they having defeated
the South River Sterlings by a six
point margin, and losing to the Car
teret Separates in their first
ter by the same number of points.
Manager Gereghty is DESTROYS of
meeting the latter team again as he
is confident his team can even up
for this defeat. He would also like
to hear from other leading teams in
his vicinity.
