|NGOTS STILL LEAD LEAGUE
WHILE GUGG|ES Gil ILM!|!!!RlIIP
Results Of Saturdays Games


r.. C. w, 8; u. l.. w, /.
A. s. & r., IL; r. & H, A.
There were two mighty interesting
games played in the factory league
Saturday, when the United Lead
Works team dropped their sixth
game to the Ingots Of the Raritan
Copper Works. and the Roessler &
inning, subsidized into comparative
quiet. and lost out to the American
6melters
The results Of the games places
the Guggies one notch nearer the
top, the failure of the Shot to beat
out the Ingots depriving both teams
Of the honor of tieing up with the
1ngots for the lead. The Guggies are
within one game of the lead now,
however, and next Saturdays game,
when they play the Ingots, should
tell the tale in no uncertain terms.
The Ingots now lead, the Guggies
are second and the Shot third, while
tho Chemists have still to win a
game.
Applegate StiI ''Thcre."
1t was a tight struggle that the
4ngots and Shot staged on the copper
works field. Apologize, who has been
accused OF slipping. showed that his
critics were not altogether right,
With but four hits, none of them for
extra bases. He struck out eleven
men, and to make his victory cer-
tain, slammed out three hits him self.
The feature of the game was the
batting Of Hornsby, who slapped out
4 home run. and later a three bagger,
that looked to be geed enough for
another circuit clout, but for fast
nelding. He. too. made three hits
out Of four trips to the plate.
6imonseh allowed eleven hits and
gould not keep down the ambitious
1ngots who apparently realized their
danger of losing the lead in the race,
and came gloriously to the rescue.
They played a splendid fielding game,
Egan's slip up being the only error
recorded.
None of the Shot players made
more than one hit, nor was any of
their hits good for more than one
base. The usually irrepressible Worth
was subdued ealmly and did not cause
ANY ructions In the game.

AMBOYS DEFEAT
ALAsKAs BY 5 TO 4
Ritter Invincible After Fourth,
and Team Hits Out Victory
on the Island.

Frank Ritter's flinging arm was in
good shape yesterday. and With able
support from the Perth Amboys, he
was able to stop the Alaskas. of West
New Brighton, at Alaska Park, the
home stamping ground, and clamp
an 81 defeat on them. In this he
was ably assisted by Frank Bader
and his other team mates.
The hits were plentiful by both
teams, the Alaskas collecting eleven,
while the Amboys gathered in four
teen ciouts. The second and third
innings were the bad ones for Ritter,
but after his team had worked him
out of that hole, he held the Alaskas
helpless for the remaining six innings.
Both teams erred twice.
In the Amboys half OF the second
inning they scored one run. which the
Alaskas countered with three in the
same fram9. Not to be outdone. the
Amboys landed on Durkee for three
runs In the third, and the Alaskas
evened things up by coming across
with one run in their portion OF the
third,
After battling along for four in
nings at tie. the Amboys squeezed
over four more runs, and ended the
game. It was q free batting spree
and Joy to the large number of fans
who crowded Alaska Park to see the
game. 1t was the second game Of
the season. which the Amboys have
won. having lost most of their games
in the Metropolitan district, and two
to the Keasbey Field Club.
On Wednesday, Amer Jensen, who
pitches for the Guggies in the fac
tory league, will face the Morris
Plains attendants, with the Amboys
back Of him. The trip to the Plains

Some Hot Inningi
In the other game Of the league. In
which the Guggies defeated the Chem
lists, the fourth inning was as warm a
battle as the average fan desires to
witness. In that frame. the Chemists
started off by making four runs, CIV
ing them two point advantage over
the Smelters, who has scored two runs
In the first frame. But the A. s. & r.
batsmiths were not to be denied and
they came right back with FIVE runs,
followed with two In the fifth inning,
and one each in the seventh and
eighth, ending the game with total
Of liza.
The feature of the game was the
large number of clean extra base
wallops collected by both teams. Tho
Chemists turned in three two-base
clouts and two three base wallops,
while the Guggies accumulated three
three baggers and q home run. In
number OF hits the Guggies lead
twelve to eight.
Regan's home run was q pretty ex-
ample of fast running. He stretched
his hit for the circuit by ''jackrabbit-
Ing" about the bags, and closing up at
the plate just ahead Of the ball.
In that fourth inning, nine men
faced Jensen, who, between them.
gathered in five hits. which went for
four runs. In their half. the Guggies
retaliated, when eight men faced Jer-
off, Ave getting safe hits. for five runs.
After the fourth inning. and before,
Jensen had the Chemists at his mercy.
