1t has been reported that Charles
Anderson, the manager of the Puri-
tan basketball team during the last
two seasons, will not be at the head
of the popular North Amboy organ
1zation this year. According to dope
received at this office, Joseph Null
len, captain of the South River base
ball nine and active in the basketball
affairs of the Marion A. c. quintet of
last season, will be the manager of
the Puritans for the coming season.
What this will mean to the team can
not be judged until after the sea
son opens. That Mullen is a popular
boy is a certainty and his cleverness
as a leader cannot be doubted. His
former performances as captain and
manager of the different squads of
baseball ana basketball aggregations,
leaves no question In the mind of
fandom that Joe" is a boy that car
fill the managerial position. He Is
extremely popular throughout the
county, especially In this city and

wish to discuss. 1t is probable that
Anderson believes two terms enough
and does not care to handle the Pur-
itans any more. Charley" was a
good leader and did much in putting
his squad of basketball tossers in the
esteemed position In athletic circles,
where they now are placed. The
meeting for the reorganization of the
club will soon be held as some of the
members want to make certain that
the Puritans will have their lineup
of last season on the job.
Harry Schwartz, the husky pivot
man, has not been seen In these parts
for several weeks, but will no doubt
be on hand when the bugle an
nounces the first basketball game.
Jimmy" Canton, of South Amboy,

ARROWS WILL
PLAY FOOTBALL
Royals Will Also Line-Up-.
Dexters to Book.

Joy in the camps of the gridiron
supporters will be manifested when
it is learned that the Arrows, of Tot
tenYille, and the Royals, of Pleasant
Plains, will be on the football map
this season. The Arrows will meet
to reorganize for the coming season
tomorrow night, while the Royals are
also expected to reorganize this week.
Immediately after the meeting of the
Tottenville eleven when a manager
and captain Will be elected, there
will be doings.
The Dexters of this city will no
doubt go for the Arrows and book a
series of games. This is what fam
dom in these parts wanted last foot
ball season. But as there were only
two teams that played on the grid
iron around these parts besides the
Dexters, and these aggregations
either were afraid or did not want to
play on local soil, the football sup
porters did not see much of the
sport with the required amount Of
rivalry and spirit attached to it.
But the Arrows will no doubt be sat
isfied to give the locals a chance On
the copper works diamond and SO
Perth Amboyans may expect some
novel doings when they begin kick
Ing and booting the pigskin around.
The Royals, of Pleasant Plains.
are also a good bunch on the grid
iron and activities will be commenced
with them when the season opens.
They have always had a strong ag-
gregation, although they have suffer-
ed some hard defeats at the hand of
local elevens. In the time of the
Owls, the Royals were beaten badly.
However, they have improved and a
game with the Dexters would be an
ideal battle.

GAME IS NOT
SETTLED SET
Bensdicts and Single Men OF
GoodwiIIs Argue.

Good night and farewell. The
single men and the married men OF
the Goodwill Association are having
a big fuss over the baseball game
which was played Sunday in conjunc-
ton with the clambake of the organ
ization. The game ended before the
nine innings were played owing to
an argument which hasn't stopped
yet. The press agent of the married
men (who happens to be a "bach')
stated that the married men would
play the single men Of the Goodwill
club for a clambake.
The game Sunday was close and a
match between the two mines would
make a good battle, there's no doubt
ing It. The married men %represen-
tatives will gather at the clubrooms
in Smith street tonight to await the
reply to this challenge.
Everybody in the club, even il
they are neither married o single
(?) are taking sides In the argu-
ment which will undoubtedly have
to be settled by the playing Of an
other game. The clambake sounds
good to the married men and If it
sounds the same way to the single
men the game will be staged.

AFTER SCALPS
OF FAST MINES
Oaks Have Open Dates
Local Teams Preferred.

Manager J. ]. Petrick, the leader
Of the Oaks, has a few open dates
for his favorites and would be
pleased to book some of the fast
squads In these parts. The Oaks
prefer the Ashlands, Acmes and other
teams in this city. But If any teams
from around the county or over in
the Island want to meet the Oaks,
they may do so by communicating
with J. ]. Peterick who may be reach
ed on the telephone each evening at
1901. Any aggregation, which be-
lieves 1t is real class in junior circles
will find strong opposition by the
"Boys from the Timber" and a
match with these classy mines Is
sought for by. the Oaks leader.
Random in these d~iggings who sup
port junior baseball are eager to
see the Oaks and Ashlands fight it
out for supremacy. These two mines
were defeated by the Redskins"
and both appear to be Of the same
calibre. Since the defeat the Oaks
received at the hand of the Iroquois,
several changes have been made
which seem to have brought added
strength to the lineup. That these
two Junior mines would put up a
classy exhibition, Is the opinion of
ell Interested.

Interesting information was re-
vealed in a communication received
from Manager Peter Larson, of the
Sewaren A. c., in which it is stated
that the Sewaren magnate never Of
fered to bet the Franklins $25 as a
side wager for another game. The
ridiculous rumor, 1t is believed,
started with a certain writer who
probably had to fill up space and
knew no other means. Larson stated
last night that if he had made the
wager, he would have sent it through
the NEWS. Why any n should
spread any such rumor except that
the reputation Of the Sewaren nine
be spoiled or for the aforementioned
reason cannot be imagined.
Manager Larson and his bunch
of players are a good lot of sports

.CH|EF PAYNE is
THERE, STEVE
Will Put SIS Against Acmes
Rell Next Sunday.

Another cry came from the trend
Of the iron men this morning when
Chief Philip Payne slipped in
through the office door and quietly
murmured something to the effect
that fifteen of his iron men tagain
we write the "15" out) would march
against fifteen iron men from the
camp Of the Acmes, the team that
challenged the Redskins" through
the NEWS columns yesterday. The
wager will be held by the umpire of
the game, which will be played Sun
day afternoon. 1t Is believed that
the battle will be staged on the cop
per works diamond for the Franklins
are not expected to play here Sun
day. If the Apologize crew does play
here ar effort will be made to book
this match for the preliminary. And
that will be some preliminary!
The Acmes trimmed the Ashlands
and so did the Iroquois. Hence, we
can expect a battle royal when these
two aggregattons meet. You have to
hand 1t to the Acmes for their game
ness. One would think after the
Oaks dropped ten "seeds'' to the Iro-
Quols and the Ashlands were badly
defeated that none of the other
junior aggregations would venture
to challenge the Redskins" But
the Acmes did and for money at
that. 1t will be another attempt to
keep the Iroquois in Junior ranks.
A defeat will mean that the Red
skins will be once more challenged
by every Junior squad. However, a
win for the ''Injuns" means fifteen
seeds and their good standing.
Here are the eligible men: Acmes,
Olsen, Jeroski, T. Samsoe, C. Sam
soc, Madsen, Christensen, Kalata,
Farren, P. Dametsch, Adams and
Habekorn; Iroquois, Brosky, NJ. Sor-
enson, Bader, Cornell, A. Sorenson,
