Provided the weather conditions

fans of Perth Amboy this afternoon,
when at $3.50 o'clock on the Copper

played this year, will stack up against
the Spicer Manufacturing Company
nine, a strong combination from Plain
field, which has a long string of victo-
ries to it's credit over fast diamond
aggregations in the industrial district
near that city.
When the Spicer team takes the
field 1t is probable that several crack
players from the International League
will be in the Plainield mines uni
form, thus making a stiff opposition
which the Copper Workers will have
to contend with.
However, the Ingots are fUl OF con-

into camp as they have the other two
teams they have competed with this
year the Texaco combination of Bay

Raritan River railroad, both of whom
they defeated easily.
