MANAGER OF
WEST AMB0Y
A. C. WRITES

Manager N. ]. Holton, of the West
Amboy Athletic Club, of South Am
boy, has sent a communication to
this paper in which he makes sew
eral statements concerning a game
between his team and the Melrose
+. c., at South Amboy, last Sunday.
The West Amboys claim a clean Vic
tory by a score of II to 4, asserting
that two home runs were scored.
The communication follows;
South Amboy, N. j.,
Aug. 4, 1910.
Sporting Editor:-
Owing to the fact that the high
ly competent manager of the Mel
rose f. G.. still labors under the
strange delusion that the w. A. A.
c. scored eight runs on what he
called foul balls, we wish to remind
him that in order to do SO they
would have to be two home runs
with the bases full each time, which
he knows was not the case.
Furthermore, We wish to remind
him that, although he agreed to play
for SIS, only $3.50 was Forthcoming.
but as the w. A. A. c. had no other
engagement, they decided to take
$3.50 easy money. The final score
was: w. A, A. c., IT; Melrose F.
c., 4. Batteries: w. A. A. c.,
Leonard and Freeman; Melrose IL
c., Kosh and Kosh. w. Leonard fea-
tured with a great foul catch back
of third.
THE West Amboy Club has $50
which they r willing to put up
against $25 of the M. F. c. any time
that team sees fit to make a try for
1t.

NEWPORT NEWS, April 2S.-
Judge John IL, Ingram, OF the Chan

here to-day to sit in the matter OF
the appeal of the receiver and de-
posttors of the Newport News Saw
ings Bank. which failed some two
years ago, at which time Its cashier.

Judge Ingram sat in the case for
Judge Barham. and his decision rem
dered last fall exonerated all but four
of the directors of the bank from
liability to the depositors. Three of
these directors--A. 4. Pulliam, Or.
Carter Perkins and Or. Clarence Por-
ter Jones--have been forced To take
bankruptcy. as the judgment was for
over $4,000, and they were without
the wherewithal to pay. This left
the depositors without recourse than
an appeal against the remaining di-
rectors, and Judge Ingram is expected
to grant that appeal to-day. 1t seems.
however. that an appeal is only to be
asked AS against former City Sergeant
