BY THE GAME
South River Beats South
Amboy-- Poor Support.

1t was a sadly disappointed lot of
fans who saw the South River
Athletics game Saturday afternoon
on Star field which ended in a 6 to 5
victory for the Riyerites. Harry
A~pplegate, the cream of Perth Am
boy, was carded to oppose Atkinson,
the pride of South Amboy. Both
were renowned for their wonderful
abilities and everyone, including
about fifty fans from this city, ex-
pected to see one of the greatest
battles yet recorded in these parts.
But the players of both teams gave
their star slab artists ragged and dis
graceful support. Both teams had
patched up lineups, the winners hav-
ing only one regular infielder and the
Athletics being handicapped about
the same. However, enthusiasm was
not lacking and South Amboy fandom
cheered throughout the encounter.
Joe Mullen, the local boy, lost a
big chunk off his batting percentage,
Atkinson and Apple" were equally
strong, although neither could show
his real strength with the team each
had behind him. There'l be more
about the game tomorrow. The
score.

the South River baseball nine won
out yesterday against the st. An

ming the tally stood at 2 each. The
locals were outbatted and outfielded
although the hits which were made
by Maloney's bunch counted better.
Yenk made a double in the first
frame which tailed the only two
runs the Saints" made. The five
errors which the locals made lost
the game for Kinsulla, who allowed
nine hits, but was strong in b
pinches. The game was a hard n
to lose the st. Anthonys state. Pete"
Tool1n was the worst offender, max
ing three miscues. Here's why the
game was lost:

Fifty years ago few such ques-

have taken the home problem to the

studied many questions which relate

When there comes a prolonged dry
spell these head-hanting natives per-
form the trot day in and day out until
the great rain god has heard their
prayers. The professor visited the
north Of the island several years ago.
He says he saw them dance around
the image Of the god an entire night.
During the latter part of the
eighteenth century the turkey trot
was introduced into the dancing
schools of Italy and Portugal, and
soon everybody was doing it. In the
first part Of the nineteenth century
1t gradually died out.
