ROOSEVELT FIELD CLUB
EASILY DEFEATS EMPIRES
By Special Correspondent.

ROOSEVELT, Aug. 12:-The
Roosevelt Field Club travelled to New
Brunswick Sunday afternoon where
1t met and defeated the Empire A. A.
by a score of 90. Bill Coughlin took
the honors for the local team, getting
three hits and two runs, also making
seven assists.
Donoghue was in his usual good
form, causing eleven of the county
seat players to bite the atmosphere.
His twoIbagger with the bases full
was also sufficient to put the game on
ice for the big stickers. Green did
some unusual acrobatic work in the
middle gardens when he stabbed two
high ones via the one-hand route.
Because of their victory over the
Empires the local team believes it is
entitled to a chance with Joe Null
lens Perth Amboys. On August "a
the Field Club combination will clash
with the Wheeler Condenser crew
here.
The probable lineup of the Field
Club in hat game will be Donoghue
and Doian pitching, Brady catching,
Hanback, third, William Coughlin
shortstop, Bolar second, t. Donoghue
first and the Ginda brothers, Green
and Shurat in the outield. Manager
Thomas =. Donoghue, 143 Emerson

with any fast senior pro team in the

heads together with the result that

Both of the fistic performers are
unknown in this settlement and it is
with the express desire that they Sc
cure some acquaintance with the fight
followers in Amboy and nearby local
tiles that they nav requested an in
PRODUCTION through the Lotus Club.
While his ''playlet" will be the
main show of the evening, McNulty
has another eight round affair with

mont on July IS, slightly shaded
Young Leo. claiming all the rounds
with the exception of the first and

his willingness to mix matters up
made him a favorite. Young" Leo

of victory.
He is training religiously for the
scrap.
McNulty went to Philadelphia yes
terday to witness the bout between
Benny Leonard and Irish" Klein at
the National Baseball Grounds and
i%ncidently to look over some material
with view towards securing a worthy
partner for Al Roberts. Roberts has
thus far proven himself far superior
to any goods showed across the coun-
ter and Joe will try to grab off a
heavyweight of exceptional skill.

sy specta. Correspondent.

SOUTH AMBOY, Aug 12.-Play-
ing in true form the Y. M. c. A.
baseball team put down to defeat the
fast Norwood A. C. of Long Branch
in the feature baseball game of the
Old Home Celebration by a score of
4-3. The Norwoods are n of New
Jerseys fastest semi-professional
teams and a victory over them is
something to be proud of. The Y. M.
c. A. had all their regulars in the inc
up and the team work was wonder
ful. The team had been slipping up
until this time but Manager A~pplegate
now feels that they will take a new
lease of life and continue to play the
same brand iof baseball that sent the
Norwoods down to defeat.
A crowd of several hundred peo-
pie were on hand when the game
started but as soon as the bands start
ed for the Victory Parade" h ball
grounds became almost deserted, the
fans thus missing a wonderful exhi-
bition.

more than 1870 or 100 and they're
the little Giants.
Jack Dempsey, our leading heavy
weight, would be a kid in the Giant
ranks. The outfit looks like one of
those old fashioned football machines
from Notre Dame.
Just why Muggsy picks on the
biggest players in baseball is not
quite clear. All managers favor big
fellows but when they say big fell
lows" they mean those weighing from
165 to 100.
Probably Muggsy got stuck on a
batch of big fellows at the start and
in order not to make the team look
like a Mutt and Jeff outfit he kept
on tmatching EN-" up. But when
Bonnie Kauff came along he just
couldn't help seeing the little FEEDER

but war construction in 1918 has put the country far behind in it's essential home and business construction. A tremendous demand not. likely to be appeased in years to come is behind the present build- ing campaign of the country.
 '"The concensus Of opinion of the gov ernment departments, the financial agen- cies and the best posted construction men of the country that material will not de- crease in price for long time sufficient to warrant withholding needed building operations, and that 1t will be to the best advantage of the builder to delay no longer in erecting such structures as there is a real demand for. Of course, everyone knows the extreme need of apartment buildings, for it is most diff cult to secure living quarters in all the larger cities"
 While in Birmingham MT. Sanders will be glad to take up the matter of building operations with those who are interested in erecting good income structures of any Sind but more particularly apartment buildings, as he declares the highest in- come now and for years to come is to be
 obtained from that clafs of structure.
