bO1 Iudl Woulo no uoupt QUE
~ good on some professional
baseball nine is Joe Schott.
Schott is at present a member Of the
Wstsessing B. B. c. and Parkview A.
c., and is doing great work for both
aggregations. both in the field and at
bat. As a member of the champion
Mergott Manufacturers League team
last season Schott batted over the 400
mark, and Is hitting close to that
mark now. His regular position is at
first base. but he sometimes helps out
In the box. As a f~1rst-sacker, the sew
ersl boys on teams ~hereabouts would
have to go some to beat him. He is
good In picking up %grounders and Is
almost sure of every fly ball knocked
near him. He would surely make good,
We think, with some minor league club.
The big Prudential baseball nine will
be ~reorganized shortly. Mr.. Linell,
chairman Of the baseball committee of
the ..big. insurance company. invites all.
who wish to try for the several posi-
Ions to come out ION the Essex County
Athletic Association grounds, South
Orange avenue and BoyIan street, to-
morrow afternoon.
The MontcIair A A, played its first
Sunday game of the season Sunday
and defeated the Jersey F. c. That's
two straight wins for the Montclair-
ties In two days,
A hot time is expected when the
South Orange r. c. and the Syracuse
University nine clash on South Orange
Field this afternoon.
Guy Bowers, of the Newark 7. NJ.
c. a., broke his nose while playing for
Burnett F. c. against the Woodside A.
c. at Branch Brook Park Saturday
afternoon. He is improving.
Eddie Parkinson, one of the smallest
hackstops in this city. and a member
of the Franklin School senior baseball
team, had his little finger on the right
hand injured in a game last week. The
finger was broken and Eddie immedi-
ately went to a doctor and had it put
in place, His absence from the game
will likely weaken the Franklin team.
Eddie Furcey is playing a great game
at third for the Imperial A. c.. He has
handled over fifty chances in errorless
style.
The Willow A. c. has been reorgan-
lied and is now a semi-professional
team. They will play home games on
Licorice oval Sunday mornings.
Cliff Jewell Is 10 pitching good ball
Of late. He was battered from the box
while twirling for the Somner A. c.
against the Willow A. C. Sunday, the
latter nine making seventeen hits.
Jimmy O'Eei1, the little boy, will
likely play with the westfield B. B. c.
Jimmy Is at present playing with the
Acme A, A. and the o. \. It's.
Barney Caffrey has been signed to
MAY with the Plainfield B. B. c. on
Saturdays. Barney plays with the
Nailsburg A. A. oil Sundays.
Andy speary. the local lad. will in all
probability play with the Plainfeld b.
r. c. on Saturdays.
The South Orange B. 3. c.. or Hill
ers." have to date won eight games
and lost none In their last contest
they won the right to claim the semi
pro championship of South Orange by
decisively defeating the Brightons, bet
ter known as the "Swsmpers."
Andy Healy, who overs the short
stop position for South Orange, is one
OF the best hitters in suburban ranks.
He made four hits out of -four times UP
in the game against the Brightons Sun
day.
