Thirty-seYen strikeouts, a six-run
rally in the ninth which changed
seeming defeat into victory and a fusi-
lade of six consecutive two-baggerS-
these were some of the outstanding
features of the to 4 victory scored
by the Keasbey Feds over the Owls at
Sayreville yesterday.
Manager 500 of the Feds famed
twenty Sayreville batters but despite
this remarkable form was on the
-shcct end of a 4 to score when the
Feds took their last turn at bat. Hen
shaw, the Owls tosser, made seven
teen Feds walk back to the bench.
The Feds started scoring in the
second inning, when they put one tally
across. They scored another in the
sixth. 500 held the Owls scoreless un-
til the fifth, when they succeeded in
crossing the plate with one run. They
scored another in the seventh. In the
eighth inning it looked as though the
Owls would win, as they scored two
runs, which put them in the lead. With
Henshaw hit a high fly in short right
field. Grispart misjudged it and two
tallies resulted.
Charles "Bunt" Pfeiffer of the U. S.
N. r. +. and a former star of the
Keasbey A. c. played the center field
position. He secured three hits out of
three trips. He also had a perfect
fielding record.
The climax came in the ninth when
WALLACE started the procession with a
double. Hippenstill, Pfeiffer, Wagen-

IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS -

now in the service. The corors went
up on the other. The crowd in stand

Star Spangled Banner. Officials OF
the company were out in force.

Umpire Mullen certainly contribut-
ed his bit toward a clean and snappy
game. Himself at one time the pre-
mier pitcher of the factory league
Mullen gave the occupants of the
pitchers box Saturday their just des-
serts. Six times he called out the
batter on a third called strike.
Johnnie Murtagh, the Roosevelt
pitcher, carried off Individual honors,
a bum foot and the locals goat. Sat-
urday he bobbcd up as the boxman.
The first three putouts of the game
were strikeouts, and he averaged two
strikeouts an inning for the first
three frames.
From the first inning when he was
touched up for the lone Ingots' run
to the finish Murtagh tWirled gilt
edged ball.
At that the Wheelers had much
the best Of the breaks" In the sew
enth, with Jakeaway perched on first,
Rogers drove one at Applegate with
every ounce of his shoulder force be-
hind the blow. The ball scraped the
tip of his finger and whistled to CEN
terfield. There it continued on it's
flight, passing between Ritter's legs.
Speeding on the plush-lilSe surface of
the outer field, it did not spend its
force until both Jakeaway and Rog-
ers had crossed the plate, and with
n tu Of fipoa RI snare at that
Good-a-bye Diedy
These two runs seemed to take the
heart out of the Ingots, and at the
same time stir the visitors to the
snappiest sort of play. The ninth was
a comedy of Ingots errors and Wheel
ers results. With two down, McKos-
kie got line on Stinson's bungle.
He stole second and scored on
Brady's drive. Murtagh's single
pushed Brady to second from where
he scored when Foster muffed Elk's
fly. The play also put Murtagh on
third and Elk on first. Ritter, field
ing Kloze's grounder, tried too hard
to make another error but Foster
fooled him by making circus catch
Of the wild throw.
Ritter relieved Applegate after the
fatal seventh. Murtagh sprained a
foot in going after an infield fly but
gamely continued to hurl. He finish
ed up the ninth by tanning the first
two batters to face him.
Twelve Ingots were left stranded
on the paths, and therein lies the
story o. their defeat. They Just
simply couldn't get to Murtagh's
slants and shoots when hits meant
runs. They outhit the visitors num-
erically, but not timely.
Though they came onto the field
without music, without Diedy Died
ricksen, without a mayor, a clever
speaker without grandstand or
even a water pail the visitors brought
along with them batch of rooters
and a mighty husky looking motor
truck and lusty siren. That was
enough for them to celebrate in and
on. And they did.

John GaIsworthy Describes the
PoiIu at His Best.
Glad Of Opportunity TO Divide Ratiens
and Make Friends With Four
footed Creature That Had Evil
IDENTIFY Known Suffering.

The sun, boring into his spine
through his thin shirt, made him reach
for his Jacket. There was the little
dog still sitting on Its base, 20 yards
away. 1t covered and dropped Its
ears when he moved, and he thought !:
Poor beast Some one has been do
Ing the DEVILS work on you, not badly I"
There were some biscuit in the
pocket Of his Jacket, and he held one
out. The dog shivered aud Its pink
tongue lolled painting with desire and
fear. Jean Liotard tossed the biscuit
gently about half way. The dog cow
cred back step or two, crept forward
three, and again sQuatted. Then very
gradually it crept up to the biscuit,
bolted it, and resained its distance.
The soldier took out another. This
time he threw 1t Ave PAGES only in
front of him. Again the little beast
covered, skunk forward, seized the bis
cult, devoured 1t; but this time it only
recoiled a pace or two, and seemed,
with painting mouth and faint wagging
Of the tail, to beg for more. Jean
Liotard held a third biscuit as far In
front Of him as he could, and waited.
The creature crept forward and
squatted just out of reach. There 1t
sat, with saliva dropping from its
mouth; seemingly it could not make up
Its mind to that awful venture. The
soldier sat motionless his outstretched
hand began to tire, but he did not
budge-he meant to conquer its fear.
At last 1t snatched the biscuit Jean
Liotard instantly held out a fourth.
That, too, was snatched, but at the
fifth he was able to touch the dog. 1t
covered almost into the ground at the
touch Of his fingers, and then lay, still
trembling violently, while the soldier
continued to stroke its head and ears.
And suddenly his heart gave twitter;
the creature had licked his hand. He
took out his last biscuit, broke it up
and fed the dog slowly with the bits,
talking all the time; when the last
crumb was gone he continued to mur-
muir and crumple Its ears softly. He
had become aware of something hap
pening within the dog-something In
the nature of conversation, as If it
were saying: master, my new master

ture came gradually closer, quite close; ;
then put up its sharp, black nose and
began to lick his face-From "Cafard,"

Lotus S. c. Tonight.

The weekly boxing dish will be
served local followers tonight at
Palace Hall when Joe McNulty stages

of Newark, welterweights, who are
scheduled to travel eight rounds.
The dish will be a five-course af-

there will be a six-round semi-final
between Kid Potty, of this city, and
Young Thompson, of New Brunswick,
and three four-round prelims.
The appetizers include four
round bout between Young Brown,
New York. Battling Zim Sargent, Of
this city, will be a spectator. Brown
is the same dusky who took the heart
out of Sargent with a slap and a look
last Monday night. Sargent later
blamed it on cramps, not in the
knees, but where they belong.
Potty exhibited his wares at Camp
Morgan last Friday night. Little by
little he is showing that he possesses
more than a fancy hair comb and
poise. Potty flashes some scientific
boxing at times.
All the bouts are arranged with an
eye to action. 1t would be a compar-
atively easy matter for the manage
ment to secure a well known head
liner and then some dub" to face
him. Such an arrangement is not
conducive to action, and that is what
the fans want. The principals in to-

Leo Lowenkopf, the one-armed
athlete, representing the Y. M. H. A.,
carried off the high individual honors
at the games of the Metropolitan
Young Mems Hebrew Association at
Macombs Dam Park in New York
yesterday. The strapping youngster
moved down his opponents in tho
100-yard dash for first place and
gold medal, finished second in the
running high jump with a mark of
five feet, four inches. for which he
gets silver medal, and turned in
fourth place in the furlong dash. In
all Leo accounted for a total of nine
points. He was the only Amboyan
entered in the meet.
Lowenkopf had the rooters with
him from the start. In the very first
event-the running high jump-he
continued to clear the bar at pace
that finally left the decision between
Harry Hyman, OF the Ninety-second
Street Y. M. H.-A., and himself. Hy-
man cleared the Bar at five feet, six
inches. The bar toppled to the
ground but the officials blamed this
on the strong wind.
In his next time out he was placed
on the two-yard mark in the century.
