hR0spects Of the Coming Season
Wand a Review of Last
Year.

The Zine has now arrived when the
differenk factories in town are begin
ming to pick out their baseball teams.
TO represent them on the diamond this
season. The managers of the different
factory baseball teams have their
hands full, getting up meetings, pick
ing out the best talent around the
works, and talking ove this and that,
where they are going to get the money
for bats, balls and some might want
new suits. Once a factory has a team
all equipped for playing the first game
on the field, II must certainly be re-
mombered that it took good and hard
work to get them there, and the man.
ager therefore deserves credit for put
ting before the public a team who is
TO play every Saturday during the
season, and give the spectators at the
games the chance to see q game equal
10 some OF the best amateur. and some
times semi-professional games around
this vicinity, free of charge.

noon, when the people arc of for the
day, than to go to see one of the Fac
tory League game, where it is not
money that is played for, but the hon
or to win the game, and after winning
the most number of games, getting the
cup (Which it is understood is OF be q
gold one this Year,.
AS will be remembered the silver
cup last year went TO the American
S. & r. baseball team, which won
thirteen games and lost two during
the season. There were fifteen games
scheduled last season, and every single
game was played by the Factory
League. There was not a rainy or very
bad Saturday during the season.
There were two forfeited games, one
went to the Raritan Copper Works
when the Perth Amboy Terra Gotta
team did not make the proper arrange
ments to meet them at the Perth Am
boy Amusement Company diamond,
and the other went to the c.. Pardee
Works, who took the game from the
Perth Amboy Terra Gotta Also, on ac-
count of Gripping their catcher, and
the P. A. T. c. being unable to put a
substitute in his place.
However, before the first game can
be played this year, there is a whole
lot of work to be accomplished, first
there is to be a meeting held to find
out. who wants to join this years
league, and who, if any, are going to
drop out. AS far as the writer has
heard, the only one that will likely
drop out will be the Roessler & Has
lacher Chemical Company's team.
After this meeting there will have
to be held q meeting at which the
rules and regulations (Which will most
likely be the ones of last year, with
perhaps q few amendments) will again
have to be approved and passed upon
by the board. Also, the schedule will
have to be gotten up, officers elected
for the ensuing year, and If everything
turns out all right, there should be
no reason why the first Factory League
games cannot be played by about the
twentieth or twenty-seventh of May.
There will most likely be n longer
season than last, but that all depends
upon the number OF teams that will be
in the league. If there will be six as
last year, there might be eighteen
games scheduled, an addition of three
by each team, which would extend
the season a little later. Last year
the first game was played June l.
Last years league was composed as
follows American S. &. r., man
aged by C. C. Colcord; Perth Amboy
Terra Gotta Co., managed by Thomas
Maher; Raritan Copper Works, A. v.
Ash and Emil Warter; c. Pardee
Works, A.. E. Walker; Chesebrough
Manufacturing Co., Albert H. Bran
and A. c. Walker: r. & II. Chemical
Co., F Hoyler.
The American s. g. r. team came
out first in the league, winning thir-
teen out of fifteen played; the Raritan
Copper Works second; C. Pardee
Works third; Perth Amboy T. G..
fourth; Chesebrough Manufacturing
Co., fifth; and the r. & H. Chemical
Co., last, who did not win a single
game, losing fifteen.
Some of the teams last year played
some exceptionally fine games. The
longest game was between the Rari-
tan Copper Works and the c. Pardee
Works, when it took fourteen innings
