They've scrubbed "Old Sport"
It's a fact.
Those Tottenville fellows Gust
went and did It," "Tippy" Larkin's
pup is clean again, and Mr.. Kreis-
cher is all smiles.
It a the dogs first bath in a
year. They wouldn't have washed
1t then. II the poets" over there
quieted down. One sportsman
threatened to write a poem" every
day, for this column, so ''Tippy" de-
cided upon the wash act.
1t has been written: when the
shoe fits, put 1T on"
Here Is something interesting
from South Amboy: 1.-THE South
Amboy Athletics will challenge the
winners of the City League for a
game or series Of games"
Here is some more-same place.
Phillips, of Spotswood. pitched good
ball Saturday, but 1t is no credit to
a pitcher to have the score doc
tored." What was the matter with
"Ackie's" three bagger?" Search
me, 1 don't know.
A Bosco reader by the name OF
"Stultz" signs the above articles and
sends along the following crazy
dir: II the atnfBsfvs naonI Won
Saturday. Spotswood!
For the information of the Perth
Amboy readers, especially managers
of the City League contestants, ]
might add that the South Amboy's
manager Is Louis Stultz, South Am
boy, probably the writer of the chal-
lenge.
Nearly every entry in the League
has borrowed" players from the
Athletics, SO a ''post-season' series
between the two cities looks rather
dubious. New Brunswick, anyway,
| would make a better attraction.
I have received the following
poem. no doubt from the pen of
some wise sage. who daily holds
down his portion of the rocking
chair feet" at Bayard's Beach. 1t is
something on the order of that pa
thetic ballad, Sporty Larkin," pub
lished some time ago In this column,
and which stirred up much wrath
and indignation on the lower end OF
Staten Island. I hope that the skip
per of the Ellida will not be perturb-
ed over this masterpiece, and as to
the author, he may inquire at the
NEWS Office for the sum of five dol
lars-but only inquire.
Behold:
They were sailing day by day,
They were losing race by race.
They wondered where the fault
might be,
And In hopes that they could say,
Something did retard their pace.
They hauled her on the beach to see.
1t didn't take them long,
The trouble there to find.
AS they gazed along the yacht,
They soon found what was wrong,
For someone m~ischievously inclined,
Had tied thereon q tin can and a pot.
Then the gentle Captain Buck,
Skipper of the noble boat,
Swore he'd like to catch and duck,
The measley getter of his goat,
And. IN righteous indignation,
A letter to the papers sent,
Vowing awful thunderation
If he caught the sneaky gent.
So, beware, you tier of the knot,
Let not your head appear,
Where word Is said of can or pot
Or twill be recorded here
In words quite sad. but true,
Where all obituaries dwell,
Telling just how little you,
Have bid this world farewell.
For the Compton boys are after you,
And they'll not give up the chase,
So take a word of warning,
Keep in your hiding place.

OAKS GIVE PROOF OF
THEIR TEAMS ABILITY

The Oaks have a good team and
the fact that they a hold two pitch
ers OF the first order was shown in
the game with the Riversldes Sunday.
In the Oaks half Of the eighth Pet
rick, the pitcher, was hit by a pitch
ed ball on the firing wing. When he
attempted TO pitch IN the ninth he
found that he was no longer able to
control the spehere for he passed two
men, II was a critical moment for
the score was 2 to l in favor Of the
Oaks and tina bases were filed. Nor
gan, from third. came up on the
mound and struck the next three men
out. A slip would have meant the
loss of the game but Morgan was
equal to the occasion and incoTkad
the proper variety. 80

FROM

Rather Peculiar Press Notice
for lroquois Members.

The following was received this
morning by the sporting editor:
South Amboy. Aug. IA.
Press Notice.
Owing to the modesty of Mr..
Philip Payne, the brilliant center
fielder. Press Agent and Manager
Of the Iroquois, a full account OF
his brilliant game with the Marions
Saturday was not published.
Mr.. Payne faced the pitcher four
times and but for the unfortunate
fact that he struck out three times
and failed to beat out a bunt, his
batting average would have been
very high.
The gentle readers of the News
Payne blows his own horn,
so we take it upon our humble
selves to so inform the public of
the facts.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM A, CHAPMAN.
