ERRORS PLAY BIG
PART IN LEAGUE
Factory Teams Need to Cor
rect Showing in Last Sat-
urday's Games.

When the teams take the field for
the second games of the factory
league schedule on Saturday they
will probably bend every effort to the
correction of the biggest apparent
fault with last Saturdays games,
when twenty-one errors were made
by the four teams. The errors count
ed for many of the runs made, and
the pitchers, who did splendid work,
owing to the inability Of their back
ers to handle the ball faultlessly.
The games on Saturday were high
ly enjoyable, as they should be In the
most representative and biggest base
ball attraction In the city. But to
gain respect tho errors will have to
be cut down. The Roessler & Hass-
lacher team were the biggest Offend
ers with seven errors. the Ingots
made six, the Leaders FIVE, and the
Guggies three.
Jeroff lost his game on Saturday
last. although he gave the Ingots only
five singles. Applegate allowed only
four singles and yet there were eley
en- runs scored In the game, largely
due to erratic playing.
While the Leaders won out on
Saturday from the Guggies, errors
glared out Of the playing to the de-
triment of the teams. Jensen and
Simonsen deserved better support for
their good pitching, and the further
the teams go into the season the bet
ter they will probably become. maxi
ing less errors and playing more
businesslike ball.
Games on Saturday
In what promise to be great base
ball attractions the Ingots will meet
the Guggies and the Leaders, the
Chemists In the Industrial circuit on
Saturday.
Applegate will probably oppose
Jensen in the Copper Works game.
which Is to be played on the r. C. w.
field. In the other game. at the Lead
Works diamond. Jeroff will face
Simonsen. With the frills Off the
opening of the season, the players
will probably be at top pitch for the
race, the leaders desiring to increase
their lead and the other two teams
wishing to climb up to level with
the first teams.

RANGE SATURDAY
New Home for .Trapshooters is
Ready for Trade Board
Handicap Shoot.

On Saturday afternoon, providing
the weather conditions permit, the
Perth Amboy Gun Club will open
their new range in the Keasbey Sec
ton with the May leg OF the Board
of Trade handicap shoot as the fea-
ture for the opening. The cup will
be shot for the last time at the affair
next month. John Hanson is the
best choice at present. having won
the monthly legs for the last three
months. as we'll as previous triumphs
for him during the twelvemonth last
past.
The new grounds secured by the
gun club when they were forced to
move from their old site back of
Amusement Park. Is near the old
place, slightly to the west, and has
every natural advantage for good
shooting and for the accommodation
OF the shooters and the spectators
who go to the range to see the events.
1t Is thought that the opening will
see many members out ct the traps
for the afternoons sport and dedica-
ton of the new field.
After the shoot of fifty birds for
the honor of the month, q meeting of
the club members will be held at
which plans for the Middlesex Coun-
ty trap shooting championship at
Dayton on Decoration Day, May 80,
will be discussed. At the first shoot
the local club did exceedingly well in
the club shoot, and Albert Waters did
the best in the individual champion
ships. tying with two others for the
first portion of the shoot,
Beginners Shoot June 2
On the Saturday following this
week the club will hold special be-
ginners' shoot, to which all persons
who desire to learn the game are In
vited to attend the shoot at the range
and take a round OF shots at the
bluerocks. A dupont medal will be
awarded to the novice turning in the
best score at the shoot. Each visitor
will be allowed twenty-five shots, to
be arranged in series of two tens a.s'l
a five. The visitors will be loaned q
gun, II they SO desire. by one of the
members of the club for the shoot.
The beginners shoot will be held
for the purpose of instilling a deeper
interest in the sport in men of the
city. The club is following out the
plans of the National Association In
providing opportunity for novices to
learn the sport and to get their shoot
ing eye In good form.
The members of the club, beside
loaning guns to the beginners will be
glad to offer tuition and help to any
who desire to learn the proper handl-
ing of the arms.
By moving to the new site, the club
loses their coZy little club house,
which has been dismantled and will
probably be erected again on the new
site. The accommodations are better
in the new location, in that a road
leads direct to the range, and there Is
a large parking space for automobiles,
and plenty of room back of the range
and traps for the spectators, and par

was taken out and he was relieved
by West This substitute passed two

first innings of the game like a sure
winner by scoring five runs to James
burg's nothing. This lead was main
tained until the seventh when Riggs
was safe on an error as was Timber
man. These coupled with Uhstadt's
sacrifice and a single by VanCleaf and
another error enabled the locals to
add three runs to their score.
In the eighth inning the game was
won by Jamesburg when Norcross was
walked" out of the box when he
passed four in a row and West who
succeeded him added two more free
passes and with several healthy hits
six runs were tailed.

ing the loan of 1910 valuable pieces OF
art deposited i'm the museum by ms
father. Others who have been declared
bcncfectors i'm 1916 were Henry Wal
+ers. George +. Baker and Harris Brls-
bane Dick. The total of all classes oil
membership is now 6,845.
The number Of objects Of art received
in 1915 was 1.155, of which twelve were
received from one bequest, $40 by gilt
from ffty-eight persons, and 264 by
purchase. twenty-five thousand dollars
was received from Mrs. Russell Sage
for installing the Bolles collection OF
furniture given by her in 1909. MIS-;
Charlotte VI. Tytus gave $4,000, and
other money gifts amounted to $35'6l5.
