a fine time fishing off the monument
in Raritan Bay yesterday. Jack went
out from Staten Island with one hook
and the first thing he hooked Into
was q three-foof dogfsh. After
about a fve-minute fight the line
parted and Jack had to row ashore.
The fish and game wardens are
playing havoc with the illegal taking
of food fish in Delaware Bay by ar
resting every boat crew that they
catch. The fishermen don't know
what to make Of IT, as they have
been violating the law down there
without the fear Of arrest. Arrange
ments are being made to police Rar-
itan Bay with wardens in an effort
to curb the nonresident fishermen
that have been filling up their boats
with weakfish and then dumping
them at sea when the market a in
danger of being overstocked.

PLAY MAURER
Perth Ambey and Island
Teams to Meet.

The Mt. Loretto baseball aggrega-
ton, which so easily defeated the
Oak F. G. nine, Of this city, last
Sunday, will have a harder time win
ming their game from the Perth Am
boy team, whom they will have as
opponents this Sunday afternoon.
The Maurer A. G. ~balltossers have
taken it upon themselves to defeat
the Loretto team, who spanked a
local team so hard last Sunday.
The Maurers opponents are a fast
lot of players who play the game
nearly every afternoon and have a
fine record. Last year the st. An
thony nine, of this city, defeated the
Mt. Loretto aggregation by one run
and as the Saints also beat the
Maurers by the same margin a good
game should result between these
two teams. Scibenski will most like
ly oficiate in the box, while Halbert
will receive him.

LIST OF THE GAMES PLAYED

With the cancellation of both Bay
onne games on account of examina-
lions, the baseball manager of the
Perth Amboy High School has an
nounced that no more varsity games
will be played. The team closed its
season with a defeat at the hands of

were in the best of form and Bay
onne was carded for two good beat
ings this week If the games were not
cancelled. None of the players fea-
tured through the whole season, al
though the pitching Of Spencer and
the twirling of Goldberger in the
last few games were real class.
The crimson and white team has
five victories and six defeats to its
credit, which is not a bad record,
considering that one game was a ten
inning battle and Spencer was not on
the slab. In the first two games the
team was without It's right battery
since Captain Coley wanted to give
all his men a try-out. The record is
