The meeting of the Franklins was
held and all is well! Happy" APP
plegate will continue as manager of
the ball squad and Oscar Wilson,
Rodda, Peter Peterson, j. Peterson
and Tommy" Smith will hereafter
be Franklin players. One or two of
the old players will NO longer don a
Franklin uniform. Sullivan, it is
believer, is one of the "oldtimers''
who will no more be a Franklin man.
In fact not only does the action of
the Franklin club say that, but
"Sully' stated to a NEWS reporter
two days ago that he did not want
to have anything more to do with
the Franklin baseball nine.
Eddy" Regain, who was injured
last week, will be in the Franklin
lineup In the next game. The dis
sension which was in the ranks of
the Franklins last week has caused
an important change in the calibre
of the team. Victory over the st.
Anthonys has given Manager Apple

of winning the city championship
and, since the team is now a unit,
they can be looked forward to give

there's good baseball in them. To

Tom" Eagen, second base; Fuller
ton, shortstop; tom Smith, third
base; Oscar Wilson,, left field; Peter
Peterson, Mat" Rodda, Edward Re-
gan and yellow" Peterson, right
and center fields.
Unlike the st. Anthonys, the
Franklins are well fortified in the
catcher's position, which is one of
the most important places On the
diamond. Marty O'Hara and his
crew know how important the back
stop is, as a result of Yenk's injury
last week. Besides Fritz, the much
reputed player, Apologize, has "1el-
low" to receive him. yellow was
thought to be the best catcher in
the county last year and he is still
one classy backstop.

MOTORING BOWLING
FISHING BOATING
TO
PLAY MARIONS
ioea! Crew Will Travel to
South Amboy.

There's one team in this county
that is giving their supporters their
moneys worth, and a little more,
and that aggregation is the South
Amboy Athletics. Some of the best
mines in New York, Newark, and
these parts have been booked, and
the games which they have put up
have been the best exhibitions in the
county. The South Amboy lads do
not hunt for victory as much as to
give their supporters a good bill.
Saturday the boys from across the
pond will play the Marions of this
city. The team will not be the Mar
ions of old, but, it is reported, will
be n of the strongest of aggrega-
lions that has yet represented this
city. 1t is believed that the nine will
be composed of st. Anthonys, Frank
Inns and a few Marions. Nothing is
known yet about the lineup of the
squad of local players.
Atkinson will twirl for the Ath-
letics and he expects to stand the
local swatters on their heads trying
to see his slants, bends and cannon
balls. He has been twir1ing in great
style since his team was defeated by
the South River crew for whom

Watch the crowd that will root for

SAINTS" HAVE
COMING DATES
Will Play Again in Linden
and Stapleton.

There will be no game for the st.
Anthonys Saturday at Linden. The
locals will be given their second
nance August 81. Ellie may be
placed on the mound because of
the wonderful exhibition he gave
when he faced the Lindens before.
According to the rules of baseball,
Ellie should have won his game, as
he only allowed two runs to the Lin
den crew. The brand of ball he
pitched was superb. But his team
mates could not send over their u.s.
ual amount of TALES and as a re-
suit the locals lost. Coach Pick"
Mullen will probably give DUTCH"
another chance against the Linden
aggregation and If Ellie holds them
to two TALES August 81, the
Saints" promise to walk away with
the game.
Stapleton will probably be the OPP
p%onents of the st. Anthonys for
Sunday. The Staten Islanders want
another trial against the speedy
boys from State street who walked
away from them several weeks ago.
If the locals duplicate their former
stunt, the Alaskas will no doubt
look for the scalp of O'Hara's
crew. KinsuIia will twirl again, and
Ellie and DUNCAN will be on the re-
serve list. The defeat which the
st. Anthonys suffered at the hands
of the Franklins Sunday does not dis
courage them in the least and they
will be as full Of ginger and the

the Clovers will have to be idle this
week unless a meeting is called and
some game is booked for them. The
teams in the Junior organization are
dissatisfied. The Princetons are
"sore" because the st. Anthonys,
who have only played one game, are
near the top. On the other hand the
st. Anthonys are more disconnected
because they have not played many
games. John Harkins and his crew

In the fourth stanza, Fisher, the
