Holzhiemer Takes Exception
to Sieboth's Assertions.

Harken unto the words of one lad
called Holzhiemer, an Iroquois war
rior, who takes exception to the re-
marks of William Seiboth, manager
of the Oaks basketball team. Here
in are "Holtzy's" rawlings:
Sporting Editor NEWS:
GAS a member of the Iroquois
baseball and basketball teams, l feel
it is my privilege to reply to Mr..
William Seiboth's r~hapsodiacl con
.Gnction on Team Must Get REP"
which l read in an issue of the
NEWS yesterday. Do not misunder-
stand me, Mr.. Editor, l am not writ
ing this to start a controversy (the
Iroquois can settle anything of this
kind on a baseball diamond or a
basketball court at the Oaks pleas
ure,) but merely to correct any mis-
conception that may have arisen
through Mr.. Seiboth's communica-
ton.
THAT the Iroquois were Junior
champions Of this city in both base
ball and basketball last season is a
we'll known fact, and that they
are junior champions Of Perth AM
boy Is baseball this season is also
beyond dispute. Seiboth's Oaks are
merely a discordant second fiddle to
the Iroquois IN baseball, as was
proven by the result Of their game
a few weeks ago. Last season in
basketball 1t was the same story
both the Iroquois Reserves and the
Iroquois Regulars defeated the Oaks
by a wide margin. And this was In
despite of the fact that J. J. Petrlek
refereed. So where do the Oaks
at? The Oaks need not
"howl" about REP" as theirs is
yet to be made.
"In view of Seiboth's statement
that the Oaks never take back their
word, I would ask If he has forgot
ten his boast Of a few weeks ago?
Before the Iroquois-Oaks game Sci
both said that if his team did not
beat the Iroquois by at least ten
runs, he and his team would never
play ball again. He also said that
If his team lost he would eat his
shirt and swim to Tottenville with
out the customary bathing suit.
now call upon him to make good his
boast.
Trusting that you will give the
foregoing space in your columns
am,
yours in sport,

1t Is now practically certain that
Perth Amboy Will be represented in
the Tri-County Basketball League
this season. At a meeting of the Or
g~anization last night it was planned
to have a seven team circuit SO that
each quintet could play forty games
during the season, two each week,
one at home, and one "abroad." The
teams expected to enter are the fol-
lowing: Princeton, Trenton c. c..
New Brunswick, Phillipsburg, Nor
risville, Somerville and Perth Am
boy. Only three of the seven were
represented personally but assur-
ance was made by letter or by other
means of proxy that several of the
above named would enter the league.
1t Is the intention Of the league
to play the same rules as in the
Eastern League of basketball, which
are the same as A. A. U. rules with
the exception of the dribble clause.
In the Eastern League rules, a play
er is allowed to shoot after a drib-
BILE. Many basketball experts be-
lieve this provision to the rules
makes the game more fast and more
interesting. Van M~ulchahey, the
popular and we'll known referee of
this county, commented that the

WHERE SEDAN CHAIR IS USED
The 3~-Century-Old Vehicle 10 Still Seen
on May Day In knutsford,
England.

The news that there Is a woman still
living who rode in q Sedan chair Is a
reminder Of the fact that there Is one
town In England where a Sedan chair
Is still used. 1t Is at Knutsford, In
Chesh1re-the Crawford" Of Mrs.
Gaskell. Every May day Knutsford
arrays itself In gala attire. Sports are
held on the village green, the May
queen is elected and crowned, and
in order that no aspect OF antiquity
should be m~issing-the Sedan chair Is
produced.
Whatever may have been absolutely
the latest date at which a Sedan chair
was used, the chair, at any rate, had
longer life than most forms Of public
conveyance. For it appeared In Eng
land as early as 1881, and In London
fifty years later, when Sir Francis Dun
comb obtained the sole privilege of
letting and hiring them. Thus the
Sedan chair was In use for roughly
three centuries, and how many hand

FAMED OUT
OSCAR WILSON THREE
TIMES IN BIG GAM
Never Before Has Such Thing Hap
pened 10 the Well Known Bats
man HAS Fine Record.
NOW MEMBER OF FRANKLINS

1t will be weeks and weeks before
the JAMS in this burg stop talking
about the big game Of the weekend
in which the mighty Ritter breezed
nineteen batters of the All Star
team from this city. Among these
nineteen strike-outs were three
chalked up against one Oscar Will
son, once a Marion, then a Dane"
and now a Franklin. 1t was the
first time in his life Of baseball
and that is more than ten years old
that Oscar famed three times In
one game and Sundays battle was
one which he will never forget.
Wilson is no doubt n of the
best ball players in this city. In his
early years of the game he played
with the representative nine Of
Woodbridge. He was captain Of this
crew Of tossers and stored them to
many victories through several sea-
sons. One day he was asked to play
with the Marions-the Marions of
old-and he put up such q brilliant
exhibition that he was asked to be-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-24

come a regular. In order to do so
Oscar was obliged to become a men,
Der of the Marion A. c., which he
did to please several of his friends.
He played four years with this crew
of players and led the batting aver
ages of the team each season. Gray,
the initial sacker, had formerly been
leading in sticking, but when Wilson
came into the Marion ranks Gray be-
came a close second. 1t was through
Wilson's speedy running, brilliant
fielding and consistent hitting that
the Marions annexed SO many city
championships.
Last season when Wilson, Eyer
kuss and q few others of the baseball
team had a "run-in" with several of
the club leaders, 1t was all over
Wilson said he would not play and
he could not be induced in any form

ion uniform. Eyerkuss, who was
considered best third sacker last
season, also walked Wilson's path.

1t now appears that the game be
tween the Sewaren A. A. and the Sc
warren A. 8. will be staged. Mana
ger Peter Larson called at this Office
last night and gave us his terms in
the form of a letter which we are
publishing at the end Of this story.
According to "Pete," he will stack
his crew against Dolan's bunch on
October 6 but not in the afternoon
as some of the Sewaren A. G.. men
play with an All Star nine, it is
claimed. If manager Dolan will
agree to stage the fray in the a.. m,
war will be waged. There Is some
question about the battlefield, but
that will no doubt be settled soon.

the following letter, the game VIII

We cannot play in the afternoon of

Manager John Seel, of the Dexter
football Eleven, will stack his men
up on the copper works diamond
Sunday afternoon, October 6, for the
first gridiron battle of the year in
this city. The opponents of the To-
cal crew will probably be the Fultons

Franklin nine are going strong at
present and are much in demand. If
the Tottenville fans make a big

induce their manager to book Harry
A~pplegate's ball tossers before the
last battle of the season.
The Bronx Independents are one
of the best mines in their parts-and
there are many good squads which
come from their vicinity too. Man
ager Shea stated today that he would
not cancel this battle for any Perth

play in TottenVille, Saturday.

meant the series to Bradford's ag-

through lack of stick work that Lar

part of the defeat is attributed to
the poor work Of the umpires, who
it is claimed killed whatever chances
the Sewarenites did have of annex

against each other, but the breaks
in luck favored the former. Seven
