I BRIEF BITS OF SPORTS
IN ALL FIELDS
In the score of the Rahway-Perth
Amboy Y. M. C. A. bowling match
published last night. Clarence Hoff
man was credited with a 101 score.
This should have been 201. The
mistake was due to a misprint. Fol
lowers of the bowling score are well
aware of the fact that the local star
does not turn In 101 scores so that
the error did not make much differ
ence.
It is probable that Manager Ap
plegate will have other surprises for
'"cal fsns when he announces th
malnder of his lineup for the local
presentatlve diamond team.
A good program has been ,ar
nged for the firemen's boxing show
to be staged in Roosevelt a week

ketball and Indoor athletics among
the members of this institution will
be worked up on a greater scale In
the near building and this will aid
In boosting athletics generally In the
=lty.
9 Director Pew of the local Y. M.
Z. A. Is endeavoring to organize an
Industrial baseball league. Basket
ball and volley ball leagues have
been successfully run off at the lo
cal institution this year.
Although big league teams start
their regular season today, It will
l»e several weeks before some real
dope on the strength of the respec
tive contenders can be judged.
The Roosevelt Separate basket
ball team may play one or two more
games this season. Basketball will
go big In the borough next year.

YACHT RACING
Cllll FORMED
Several Organizations on
Raritan Bay Unite to Boom
Water Sport
To promote water sports In the
vicinity of Raritan Bay several of
the leading yacht clubs along the
bay shores have formed an organi
sation to be known as the Raritan
Bay YachtHaclng Association. Lawis
Compton of the local Raritan Yacht
Club is president of the association;
E. W. Christie of Sewaren Is secre
tary and treasurer.
The present members of the as
soclation sre the Raritan Yacht
Club, the Sewaren Club, the Rahway
Club and the Princes Bay Club. It
is also expected that the Bentley
Club of TctteflVille and the Keyport
organization will Join, together with
other boat clubs near here.
According to the plans of the as
sociation the clubs will hold a se
ries of races for all classes of craft
during the coming season, each club
acting as host for one event. At
the close of the season a trophy
will go to the club walking off with
the greatest number of points gath
ered during the contests. Individual
prizes for winning boats will also be
offered, it is understood.
Each dub in the association is
represented by two members. Nelson
Macan, of the local club, is the sec
ond member of the sssoclation.
The success of the two races run
off by tho Raritan Yacht Club last
summer showed conclusively that a
live boating organization could be
formed on the bay and the present
association is the result. Boats
from the local club also participated
In several regattas held by other
clubs. All regattas involving power
boats will probably be run under the
standard rules formulated by the
American Powerboat Association.
Races however, will also Include
events tor all classes of water craft
and indications point toward an ex
ceedingly active season.

Rev. Wilbert Westcott's Profes
sionals. playing like real "proi" last
night won two straight games from
the Standard Underground Cable
Works team, thus maintaining their
standing: the Bankers defeated the
Y. M. C. A. team, but were forced
to play three games to accomplish
It: the Nationals, with only four men
in their line-up took two straight
from the Lead Works while the
Press won tw*o hard fought games
from the Atlantic Terra Cotta by
margins of two points.
The first match of the night
brought together the Profewionals
and Cable Works. The teams seem
ed to be about evenly matched but
Captain Westcott’s combination
proved steadier and tight in the
pinches. The Cable Works at one
time had a substantial lead, got
careless and lost out. The scores
were 15-13 and 15-11. Playing with
the, winners were Rev. Wilbert
Westcott, William Westcott. Frank
Moss. Nat Goldberger. Ingvard Grel
sen and Bartholomew. The losers
lined up with Dover. Ryan. Von
Daggenhausen. A. Gardella, J. Gar
dens, W. Holman, Hollowell.
The next match was the only one
in which three games were played
before the winner was decided. In
this contest the “Y" team, captained
by Francis Oliver but handicapped
by the absence of three of thetr best
players, lost two out of three do
Capt. Sam Miller’s Bankers. The
first game went to the “Y” 15-18 but
the second was the Bankers 15-4.
The deciding game was nip and tuck
throughout, the final score being
15-11 in favor of the Bankers. The
losing team lined up with Capt.
Oliver. George Forman. George For
man. Jr.. Roth, Clausen and Fenby !
Scott. The Bankers had Captain j
Miller, Jack Weitxen. Matthew Mel
ko. Wood. Fritx Ritter and Pullen.
The Nationals proved that quality
means more than quantity when they
played with four men against thei
six man Lead Works team. "Doc" j
Bedell, of the Nationals, was unable
to play owing to a death in his fam
ily and "Chris" Nielsen could not get
In the game. As a result Capt. "Dick"
Oliver lined up with "Pox” Boox.
Leon Roth and Peter Orieve as the
other members of his team. The
first game was close, the final score
being 15-13. In the second game the
Nationals got off to a flying start
and won 15-7. The Lead Works had
Capt. McCreery, Muccllli. Mitruska.
Ernst. Feddersen, Pfeiffer and Grif
fen.
In the concluding contest of the
night the Press team defeated the
Atlantic Terra Cotta in two of the
hardest fought games yet seen In the
league. The clay workers put up a
brand of ball which made it difficult
for the newspaper combination to
beat. In the first game the terra
cotta men took the lead and held
it until they scored thirteen points.
At this stage of the game their op
ponents held them scoreless while
they tied the score and then made
the two extra points necessary. The
second game was practically a du
plicate of the first, the score also
being 15-13. The winners used
Reimcrs. Messenger. Larcombe,
Plckersglll, Jago and Johnson. Play
ing with the terra cotta were Brown.
Anderson, Wort, Samsoe, Bowman
and Janderup.
The next city league games will be
played Friday night. Four matches
are sceduled but it is possible a fifth
match will be arranged so that the
league might be speeded up, making
It possible to complete the schedule
sooner than May 1*. Friday night's
games will betas follows:
Seniors vs. U. S. Cartridge at 7:30
o'clock: Bakellte vs. Dry Docks at
7:15; Atlantic Terra Cotta vs. Pro
fessionals at 8 o’clock; Cable Works
vs. "Y” at 8:15.
What promises to be the main at
traction Friday night will be the
Professional-Terra Cotta match.
With these two teams playing in as
good a form as exhibited by them
last night, close, well played games
should result.

opening in the borough this Sunday.
The attract:op for this week has not
