much coveted prize, victory, from
the Jaws Of the South Amboy braves
by a IS to 80 tally. The battle was

hospital following an operation per
formed as a last resort to save him
from p~eritonit1s. There is absolutely
no hope. the surgeons say, and his
death is only a question Of hours.
Corbett YVES billed here this week to
appear at the Peoples theater, and his
company came with him on Sunday
Monday night he was not feeling well.
and after the performance he com
plained of severe pains in the right
side. Toward morning his condition
grew worse, and when the famous
actor pualist consented to have a ply
stefan 1t was found that be had been
suffering from acute appendicitis, and
from his condition 1t was seen that his
case was critical. Blood poisoning had
set in, as the appendix had ruptured
and IT was feared that he would die
before he could be hurried 30 the oper

WHO WILL Be CHOICE
TO OPPOSE R0BEDEE

Who will pitch for the Saint
Anthonys against the 7. A. C. Satur-
day." is a question which is being
asked about the town. Every one
in this burg wants to see MARTY"
O'Hara's bunch win Saturday
against the island crew as it will de-
eide the series. If the locals win 1t
means that Perth Amboy's teams
have a shade on the Tottenvllle
bunch, while if they lose the Totem
Vile team will claim superiority
over all the local squads.
The game Sunday between the
Franklins and the Saints will no
doubt find Applegate pitted against
Kinsula. So it is improbable that
the State street boys will pit their
favorite against the Tottenville ag-
%gregation. However, there is the
slightest chance for the local man
agement TO use Jack Kinsula in both
battles for Manager O'Hara is con-
fident that his boys will annex both
games easily. His opinion Of the
Franklin game when asked if Kin
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-10-02

sula would pitch both Saturday and
Sunday was given In the following:
1--WE may pitch Kinsula Saturday
and then Sunday, just to give the
Franklins a show and also to show
how good Jack KinsuIa is" If
every Saint goes in the battles of
the weekend with that spirit it's a
cineh the other two teams will have
to go at a break-neck pace to hold
them down. Manager O'Hara be-
lieves that every regular will be in
wal toys both Saturday and Sunday
and they expect to give their oppo-
nents an idea of how strong they
are.
The Saints believe that Robedee
escaped luckily on their last appear
ance against him and they expect to
slaughter him Saturday. Atkinson,
the husky mound performer of the
South Amboy Athletics, is DESTROYS
of another chance against Shea's
crew and if the assignment does not
go to Kinsula, Atkie will no doubt
get the Job.

Nourishiug the thought that they
were the only aggregation in Middle
sex county to defeat the South river
A. C. and repeating the fact that
they were the only nine that defeat
ed the Saint A%nthonys, of Perth AM
boy, twice and also he only Dunch
that defeated the new Franklin
com binstion, the South Amboy Atm
leties closed the pages OF their MS
tory until the baseball season or
1918. Nine lost and fifteen won was
the record of Pop" 0'Toole's ag-
gregation.
The South Amboy crew displayed
as good form as any squad here
abouts for an aggregation in whose
ranks there was disruption and also
dissatisfaction at different stages OF
the season. The reverses which
we're suffered during the strike OF
Andy Borlund, Dave Campion, and
a few others, were wiped out after
wards by the brilliant and valuable
victories which has given this squad
much right to claim the county
championship title but still not

must be remembered that the Frank
Inns defeated South River and were
beaten by the Athletics, 2-1 in the
only championship games. And as
it is not the rule TO declare a cham
pion by II game, especially when it
ends by a n run margin, showing
both teams evenly matched, we be-
lieve the Franklins have a just right
to claim a peep at the flag.
However, this does not take any
thing away from the South Amboy
nine, who fought gamely throughout
the year and as a result have fin
ished a brilliant season. Ambrose
