FEATURE GAMES MARK
LAST LEG OF SEASON

AS the season of baseball activity
rounds on it's last legs, interest and
rivalry is growing to the highest
possible pinnacle. This burg, Of
course, like other live wires in this
world of sports, is affected and as
much so as the real baseball centers
in the eastern states. The feature
attractions are now being staged by
the teams in this city, even If they
are not championship matches. Just
take a glance at the calendar for
sports: st. Anthonys vs.. Cranbury
today, st. Anthonys rs. Alaskas to-
morrow; T. A. c. VS.. Alaskas to-
morrow; Athletics VS.. Franklins
Labor Day; Iroquois at Long Branch
tomorrow. These are some of the
features for these days and SO one
cannot wonder why so much interest
is in vogue.
Not only is there local interest,
but the feeling manifested towards
the big league teams is also exceed
ingly high. 1t must be remembered
that like the local games, the main
bouts in the big league are being
staged now and everyone's attention
is brought to the tussles. In the last
between the Chicago Cubs and
the New York Giants, the largest
crowds that ever gathered in front
of the EVENING NEWS office were

After the scores were posted and
each and every fan waited impatient
ly until the efficient service of the
NEWS sporting department was con-
cluded by posting name or names of
the pitcher or pitchers, who worked
for the New York Giants, in whom
there is the greatest interest. The
telephone wire vas also continuous
ly busy in receiving and answering
the fans not only throughout the city
but also from different parts of the
county and Staten Island. While
there are only about thirty fans and
fanesses who watch the scoreboards
here at one time, there are hundreds
of different baseball enthusiasts who
are accommodated throughout the
day.
There are only two senior baseball
mines in the city at present and these
are so eveningly matched that dope
from every nook and corner sounds
like-Franklins, Applegate-O'Hara
And what makes the situa-
ton more delicate is the announce
ment that the Franklins and st. An
thongs will not meet again this sea-
son. However it Is improbable that
such will be the cas- as these two
squads will be forced to answer the
call of the people.

ELLIS MARTIN
GIVEN CHARGE
Manager Of AshIands- LEO
Ssqer is Captain.

Ellis Martin was elected manager
and Leo Seger was elected captain or
the Ashland basketball team for the
coming season. The club was reor-
ganized at a meeting held last night
at the home of the manager in Pat
erson street. The two officials Serv-
ed in their present capacity last sea-
son, therefore being honored by a
second term.
Every team, when it reorganizcs,
states that it expects to have a bril-
liant season. But this is practically
assured when one takes a glimpse
into the camp of the ASHES" and
notes who will play under the
colors when the season begins. Har-
ny Macan, who played guard for the
Riversides, r. and H. Chemical Co.
team, and played with many others
last year, will be on the job with
the Ashlands. Harry is a sterling
guard and proved his calibre in the
senior ranks. He likes the bunch of
fellows in the Ashland crew and so
does not lay much stress on whether
they are seniors or juniors.
That his appearance on the court
will increase the chances of the Mar
tin crew is a certainty. Then they
have Dutch" CARTS, who played
with the high school varsity quintet
last season. CARTS was "farmed"
out by the high school and proved to
be another good guard. Austin
Hornsby, at the pivot position, will
be a tower Of strength and will be
assisted by "Lanky' Tippet. The
other members of the team will be
Seaman, Jim" McGarry, Ernest
Paugh and Martin.
All the junior squad wishing games
for the coming season will commun-
icate with Manager Martin at 1877

Michael J.. Schiker, the pride Of
the Oaks, will not be seen in war
togs for the Boys From the limb

season. 1t no doubt will be a severe
shock to the chances of the North
Amboy aggregation for junior honors,
1t is reported that Mike got into

caused disruption in the ranks. Now
it is certain, according to one of the
leading members of the Oaks, that
the former Boston boy will not play

Speedy and aggressive, he overs

the sphere for the count. At pass
ing he is very clever and has given
several good exhibitions on the Audi
torium court last season.
1t was originally planned by the
North Amboy squad to have Schiker
do the managing as well as playing.
Now they will be forced to meet to
elect a new head and also discuss the

the Oaks will try for it is not known,

Conclusion of Poem.

The following is the conclusion of
the poem "en in part yesterday.
The information proved fatal,
She believed the tale in part,
But the evidence was overwhelming,
And with indifference she played
her part.
His heart was well nigh broken,
He knew not how to treat
The indisposition of the maiden
Who was the author of the feat.
The truth of the situation
Finally came to light
A friend had been a D~etrayer,
Like a burglar in the night.
This sad tale is nearly finished,
He is blue, downhearted and alone
For this pretty little lassie
With his heart. like Il bird has
flown.
That's why he is a rummy,
That's why he is here tonight,
In this little town of Amboy,
With a bunch of booze to fight.
He may survive the injury,
To his spirits disappointment has
wrought,
But the masked friend and betrayer
BY him will ever be fought.
