lead to the local diamond this after
noon, where the Spotswood A. C.-ea-
tertains the Sayreville A. c., in the
second game of a series of three.
Perhaps the last game will not be
necessary, as the Sayreville boys
won the first one, but local fans be-
lieve differently. The in that
game was 9 to 8, eleven innings,
played April 20, at S~ayreville.
Spotswood will miss Jolly at short
stop, as the diminutive player is en-
joying a short vacation Way Down

from second base back to the short
field. Sayreville will present about
the same lineup that trimmed the To-
Gals back in April.

teams will probably line up:

The Mid-Washington B. B. c. held
a meeting recently for the purpose
of electing officers. Frank Teiber

Miller was chosen to captain the new
team during the coming cas- The
new team will begin It's career by

and a good contest is expected to
usher them into the baseball world.
So far they have not booked many
teams and they would like to hear
from aggregations averaging IA to
16 years, including the Buffalos, the
Ashlands or the St. AlOySius and
teams of a similar rating. All COM
munications should be sent to Pat

SLIGHT CHANGE
IN THE LINEUP
Perth kmboys Ready for
the Battle Today.

Manager Edward Hardiman, of
the Perth Amboys, announces a
slight change in his lineup. Foster
will cover the initial sack and Gal
lagher will stop the Founders be-
tween second and third. With these
additions the manager thinks he has
a combination second to none in this
vicinity. The lineup for today's
game with the Independents of New
York, will be the same as last week
with the exception OF the new first
baseman and shortstop.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-07-01

Amboyans last Saturday, the stabs
the sterling shortstop made, WHICH
cut off many hits, were the features
of the game. There's nothing too
fast for Billy He gobbles up
everything that comes his way. With
"Christy" in the infeld and DUNCAN
in the outer garden, the Saints would
probably have the strongest fielding
team in this vicinity.
Believe muh, If the Franklins give
the Goodwills a show there'll be
some playing, because the Goodwills
have sure got the material for a
good team and their strength can
only be seen in their game with the
Franklins. Give them a chance,
Apple" they may be good.
The fact that the Saints, Franklins,
and a few other local teams will not
play here Sunday is certainly encour-
aging to the Marions and the whole
town Of fans will be on hand to root
for their favorites.
Judging runners from the base
ball diamond may o. be the best
proof of their ability on the track,
but just watch Gallagher, of the
Saints. He practices on the paths
and could make a good 1~00-yard
dasher. 1t would surely be a good
race between A~pplegate, of the
Franklins, and Gallagher, of the
Saints. The shortstop has a fine
medal as a prize which he received
for winning a race at Midland Beach
about a year ago and he has kept up
training since.

Perth Amboy fandom hasn't seen
any of the South River, Sayreville or
Spotswood aggregations perform IN
local grounds this season and so
Manager Edward Hardiman will fur
nish the local fans a treat when he
will match the Perth Amboys against
the Spotswood ~balltossers on the
copper works diamond, probably next
Saturday afternoon.

MARIONS READY
FOR THE DANES

The game between D. S. A. c. and
the Marions tomorrow at Amusement
Park will tell which team is the
probable champion of the city. So
far the teams have met once this
eason and the Marions came out in
first place by a very narrow margin.
The Danes will not acknowledge that
the Marions have a better team and
will attempt to prove it tomorrow.
The Marions will have Timer, the old
time high school pitcher, on the
mound and with the assistance of
Smith as backstop expect to run off
some pretty plays. The entire Mar
ion lineup shows that only a good
aggregation can beat them.

A Lucky Find.

An $500 pearl was the fortunate
find of Fourth ward boy last week
says the Prairie du Chen Union. The
boy too was out after a pearl with
which he might aid his parents who
have recently suffered serious mis-
fortune. He was an unsophlsticated
boy in the clam fishing line and a
friend kindly showed him how to
manage the boat and tackle. He sue
ceeded in getting only a small
quantity of shells. but when he opened
up the bivalves he found what he
went after, valuable pearl. The
incident adds another TO the list Of
lucky finds in the wealth of the river
by persons whose sole aim was to
serve a noble purpose by finding a
pearl.

CROP OF TIMOTHY HAY
YIELDS BIG RETURNS
Joe Wright Shows How to Make
Farming Profitable.
About Six Thousand Dollars VIII be-
Realized From Eighty-acre Tract
Within the City Limits.

If anybody doubts the fertility of
Grant county farm lands and the fact
that big money can be made there
from by the proper sort of manage
ment, he is re ferred to the remark
able showing made by the crop OF
timothy that has just been harvested
on the eighty acre tract lying with
in the northwestern city limits of
Lancaster, belonging to Joe wright.
This was seeded to timothy and Joe
and his son. with other necessary he4n
have been making a showing there
during the past week or more that is8
worthy of comment and study.
This timothy was cut partially
green and contrary to the usual
custom was bound in sheaves, after
the manner of wheat, and placed in.
shocks. In threshing, only the head
of each sheaf was fed into the
cylinder and the seed thus extracted.
after which the sheaf was cut OPEN
and thrown aside for hay without
passing through the machine.
The crop of timothy seed THUS
OBJ ts ined from the 80 acres was SAT-
bushels. which was shipped to-
Chicago last Friday and the prics2
obtained is said to have been ST peE2
bushel. or $500.
1t is reported that about 100 tons OF
hay was also obtained in this CROP,
which is being baled for shipment
In fact one car load has already beena
shipped at price said to have BEEN
$27, 80 per ton.
From these fguresit would appear
that the SO acre crop for this year
will bring total something like
$4,000, or $75 per acre. Can you beat
