RAILWAY MAY Be "J|NX' BRINGING BAD
WEATHER, BUT PAGERS WILL TRY ONCE
MORE To PLAY EN- At PARK SUNDAY

Railway has been the jinx on the
PAGERS schedule. If it don't rain,
hail, snow or blow hurricane next
Sunday third effort will be made to
meet the champs from Union county
and settle the question of suprem-
acy, which has been the subject of
many arguments between residents
of Perth Amboy and Railway all
summer.
Residents of Railway who are en-
ployed in the New York offices of the
Pennsylvania railroad have been
kidding" Amboy residents for
months and if the reconstructed Pa
GERS can go out and hand the Rahwe-
gians a trimming it will give the To-
cal Penn boys a fine chance to give
their Railway friends the horse
laugh 1t had been the intention to
conduct best two out of three game
series with Railway, but the lateness
of the season will confine the argu-
ment to one game.
Frank Hand, who will catch for
the PAGERS Sunday, worked in a
game up at Hackensack last Satur-
u
OF MS heavy hitting. No use talk
ing, but Hand is certainly hitting
the pill for keeps and he should be
able to land a job next season in
much faster company than he was in
last season. The Scotch Plains lad
Is much better than some of the
catchers who have been purchased
by some of the big league clubs in re-
cent years and it's mystery why he
wasn't picked up this past season.
He'll land in the big league yet.
1t is understood that a committee
consisting of Jack WeitZen, Louis
CroWell and a few other has beens"
will petition Max Gibian to allow
them to stage a preliminary game at
the park Sunday between the mar
rted and single men of the city, who
do not play on any of the senior or
Junior city league teams or on any
Of the other amateur and semi-pro
clubs about the city. A game of
this character should prove the ban
ner attraction of the season for hui
NOR, and if allowed to play the two
teams should be confined to about
three innings, as that will be about
enough for both players and fans.
Billy Pfau is the object of the single
mems challenge and it's up to Billy
to recruit his married mems team.
There is a fine chance for the for
nation of Tri-County League next
year for Sunday games and there is a
chance that Sunday ball will be re-
stored in New Brunswick or at
Highland Park. What better league
could the fans want than one in
which Perth Amboy, New Brunswick,
Railway, Plainfield, Red Bank
Keansburg, Keyport and one other
town would be represented. 1t is an
assured fact that the idea will be
worked out during the winter and
before the snow is off the ground it
Is likely such league will be form
ed.
If there is a Tri-County League
next year it is likely that Perth Am
boys representative team will con-
tain eight players from this city out
of the ten who will play on the team.
This has been a great year for the
development of local talent, the two
best prospects being Butch Worth
and Pud Stinson of the Saints and
Blacl1ie Regan of the PAGERS. 1t has
also been great year for "come
backs" of some of the boys who used
to shine hereabouts. yellow" Pc
terson and Pop Rodda have both en-
toyed very good luck this year and
have been valuable members of their
teams, and Joe Coley has been bat
ting in his old time form towards
the last.
