Local Nine Lost by Score of 5 to
Gould Not Connect With
FOxen's Curves.

Young Mr.. Foxen, with a barrel of
speed and a deceptive change of pace,
proved a stumbling block to the Perth
Amboys at Amusement Park yester-
day where the Hobokens carried off
the victory by a score of 5 to ]. In
a baseball jergon Foxen had every
thing. His curves broke with rare
precision, his control was almost per-
feet and his judgment excellent.
Twelve of the local batsmen failed to
connect with the young slab artists
puzzlers and that is performing q re-
markable feat for the Perth Amboys
are all good stickers. The excellence
of his control is Witnessed by the fact
that not a single man re cached first on
called balls. Only three hits were
made off Foxen, one q two Dagger by
Reinacher and the other a hard smash
at the pitcher himself by Donovan,
which later resulted in o run when
Foxen made a wild pitch, the ball
striking in front of the plate and
bounding over the grand stand.
In the face of such note worthy
pitching, the locals were powerless
and in addition some poor fielding
aided the Hobokens in making their
tallies. Eddie Freedberg was the chief
offender and his work behind the bat
was by no means mp to his usual STAN
dard. a passed ball, a very wild
throw and three stolen bases were
some of the things charged mp against
F~reedberg and sad TO relate they all
figured in the run-getting. However,
it is q good thing to remember that
Freedberg was laboring under Difficult
ties Yesterday and the fans should re-
frain from passing adverse judgment
on his work just yet until he is given
a fairer trial. Yesterday F~reedberg,
and in fact all the team were beset by
intense They were terri
bly, anxious to win as they realized
the Importance Of the game and the
natural result was that the players
failed TO do themselves justice. Free
berg is n hard-working, energetic
: backstop and he will be there with the
goods from now on.
The Hobokens presented a very fast
team and they were strong in every
department, The crowd had a well
come for all the familiar faces. Dan
Connolly, Pete Herman, Pete Lamar
and the rest Of them were all or
hand and aided in defeating the locals.
Donovan did the best playing for
the locals and he covered a great deal
of ground to make some of his four
catches in center field. He is the star
OF the local team and his fast base
running made a hit with the fans.
Lindeman pitched an ordinarily
good game, but, Of course, it couldn't
overcome the faultless pitching OF
Foxen and the costly errors that were
made behind him.
Next Sunday the C%rescents of Phila-
delphia, one of the best teams there
and old favorites in Perth Amboy,
will be the attraction at Amusement
Park and a good game may be ex-
pected.

ways willing to please her, succeeded
in finding a bird fancicr and purchased
Ia fine looking polly. The minister was
not familiar enough with parrots TO
TASK any questions regarding the hab-
Its and bringing up of the bird he had
chosen, and very much TO his and his
iwife's cha.rin, they discovered that
FOLLY was very profanc. >ot a morn
lin. passed that she lid not cuss out
1.-THE whole family as they made their
lappearence. The minister went To the
Imam he had bought the bird from and
Inquired il there was any way in which
the bird could be broken Of its bad

iwater handy and the 6rst time you
hear It cuss give it a sousing, and take
1.-THE Gag and swing it swiftly around
three or four times and you Will never

Iations were accordingly made, and IL
was no sooner done than Polly ripped
