John Masser, Of Newark, had his

yesterday. He took a party of
friends down to the Highlands and
the only time the engine stopped
was while inside of Sandy Hook. One
of the men on board grounded a

to fish for a few minutes and while
John was looking for the trouble
two blackfsh were landed.

day, as a stiff east wind kicked up a

Claiming that they were robbed

field at the conclusion Of the seventh

the fifth, sixth and seventh innings
men were called out when they were
safe, and balls were counted as

So disguised were the local play

cided to forfeit the game when the
manager OF the South River nine de-
clined to get another umpire. Much
money was waged on the team, and

GET A PLACE IN
NEWARK GAMES

With such opponents as Barringer
High School, of Newark, and Pas
sale High School, the crimson and
white relay team knew that dire de-
feat awaited them before Roessler,
the first man Of the locals, answered
the call of the gun. When Pierson,
who ran second for the Amboy lads,
took his turn, he found that his OPP
ponents had a considerable lead
which was gained on Roessler and
strive as he might he could do nc
better than his former team mate.
When Pierson had ended his 440,
the local high school boys were al
ready badly handicapped, and such
an uncertain runner as Toolin is at
present, on account of the pain in
his side, which he frequently gets
while running, following Pierson,
Captain Mccormick and the crimson
and white followers who accompa-
MED the team anxiously awaited to
see II he would give the signal of
distress or II he would be able to do
his share Of the race in the time he
al do 1t when his side does not
trouble him.
unfortunately, q rev SECONDS al
ter taking up hts burden, the teams
fate was decided since the ground
lost by Pierson and Reessler, plus
the great loss Of Toolin on account
of his weak side, vas unable to be
recovered by any runner. Captain
Mccormick, as usual, ran his 440 in
good time bat Of course was unable
to do the work for four and 30 the
crimson and white team took last
place inzthe mile relay race. The
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-05-15

teams that were entered against
them are: Barringer High School,
of Newark; Passalc High School,
Montclair High School and Jersey
City High School.
1t is not at all surprising that
Amboy received last place when one
remembers that Barringer High
School who won yesterdays meet
with SO points, was an entry in the
mile relay race for tBe championship
of the High Schools in the United
States and took second pIace in that
event at Philadelphia, April %.
But to show that the locals were
coming home with at least one mark
of honor, Captain Mccormick entered
the 440 and took third place. Those
who accompanied the team claim
that If the decision was given justly,
Mac" would have been kiven sec
ond place. Nevertheless, there was
no doubt about third place and SO
MAC" received beautiful bronze
medal which is the only token that
crowned the efforts of the crimson
and white team.
Mullen, of the locals, also made a
good impression in the mile race,
taking fifth place, with about TWEEN
ty entries against him. Barringer
High School also took this race in
1852. Manager Schwartz believes
that the locals will win the much
coveted relay ace at Red Bank,
where they will not have such
strong opponents as Barringer High
School.
