when ne appears III puuliN' anu 49,
no telling what he will do this morning
when he sees his name in print. Char
ley is not used TO appearing in public
co that the bushes are excusable, but
unless he gets over the habit he is des-
tined to blush and blush so much that
his face will be one great, big. red
moon That is. Of course. II he lives
up TO expectations.
Charley pitched for the Crescent Attn,
letic Club against the Englewood Fleid
Club Yesterday. and did so well that II
took Fnclcwood ten innings 70 defeat
.he Crescents by a score Of 20 l.
Charley is a young man who needs
an introduction to the public gem
eral. but he needs none 20 the Ehgle-
wood club. champions Of the Amateur
League. In fact, the Englewood cham
pions were glad 10 see the last OF young
Mr.. Comerford when dusk was railing
over Bay Ridge yesterday evening pc
cause he almost spoiled the whole af-
.ernoon for them, and as il was he
made them miss the Fries T p. m. train
for the wilds of Northern Jersey, the
last that pulled out for many, many
hours.
Charleys identity need be concealed
no longer. Tie Is young man VINO
bitches baseball as a side line while
pursuing a scholastic course at Philips
Exeter Academy Next year he may go
70 Yale. and will probably continue to
study and will most certainly pitch II
Frank Quinby catches him. Comeriord
is only a kid. but for nine innings ne
had EnClowood upside down, while ne
cross fired and spit balled and curved
the leather across the plate. Then IN
the tenth inning, when his support pc
gan 10 wabble and crack, Englewood
did insert a couple OF hits. Just enough
TO score three runs and win the game.
TIE Crescent team was suite handl-
cap 10 Charley, for as a natter OF TACT
he might have done better If he had no
team behind him at all. Bad Jack Dal-
ton and andy Sides and Rosey Riddell
made errors Of one kind and another,
which did not help young Comertord,
but he kept right on pitching HIS best,
and Fnglewood didn't score run until
the eighth inning. That run discounted
tally which the Crescents made IN
the fifth and forced the game into an
extra inning.
Tiny" Beckvermit was no surprise
10 the CrescentS, so that the fact that
he held the BAY Ridge team down to
one hit and let them have only one run
is not so big a feature by about three
hairbreadths as the first appearance or
Comerford. Beckvermit, despite ms
long name, is pitcher OF the hrst
water
The only hit he let the Crescents
have was CAPTURED BY Harold Howe
Childe Harold they call him and Just
As such hits often come, this one hap
pened al a most inopportune time for
little Beckvermit II followed one OF
two bases on balls that the Englewood
pitcher yielded and Ebeling, who had
received that pass, was able TO scoot
home al the way from first because
Buck Norton. the EnClewood right
fielder. foundered all over the lot in
irving 10 gather in Howc's hit.
For a time IL looked as Il Becker
VENTS fine pitching would be in vain
because Comerford. 10 spite his feld-
ers, kept getting better and better, but
at last the break came against the New
Moon lad. and Englewood inserted the
wedges that tore out a victory.
Randy Sides, who has become portly
with advancing years, seems also 10
have become most irascible. Randy
was lust jovial boy when he played
for Princeton six years or so back,
but yesterday he was a bowling der
wish, and kept the umpire and the En-
glewood team busy. Randy objected
violently TO many decisions, and the
EnglewoOd benchwarmers Just egged
him on Randy needed so second in
vitstion and kept up. a running fire Of
sarcastic comment
Anyway. IL was a queer dav all
around Arthur Barnwell. to be sure,
did not miss ny ball he never does.
But George Knox, the same old
George who has been kicking and alibi-
ing since the words were invented &C
tually apologized to Jack Dalton be
cause he happened to touch him when
going down TO second on hit in the
third inning. Dalton thought there
was interference in that touch, which
George was quick to deny. but not as
the George of other days denied.
George apologized for the touching.
and between innings he continued to
apologize until his teammates threat
ened to duck him in the NarrOws
Vaughan Lewis scored Englewood's
frSt run IN the eighth frame after
beating out a hit. Knox walked and
when Rlddell tried TO play tag with
Hartmann. when the latter hunted, all
three were safe. On a hit and run
play, Lewis scored on rap to Rid
dell by "DuStY' Rhodes Two of the
Englewood men were left on the bags
IN that inning. and it was not until
the tenth that the Crescents cracked
wide open
Lewis hogan the trouble in that
frame, too, by slashing the first clean
hit Of the day off Comerford to right.
Knox's grounder forced Lewis at sec
ond. .Iartmann's little tap got away
from Comerford and Sides and Rhodes
followed with rousing clout 20 centre,
on which Knox and Rhodes scored.
Comerfcrd tried to get Rhodes at sec
ond and threw wild, enabling Rhodes
TO 20 all the way around.
